I have to state the obvious!

Rob Lowe. I love his early 80s movies he was gorgeous to say the least.

Then that stupid video fiasco with that underage girl.

I think he is awesome on The West Wing. He has definitly made a great comeback :)

Anthony Michael Hall has been in a lot of made for TV movies lately. For example, Hysteria:The Def Leppard Story and Pirates of Silicon Valley where he played Bill Gates. Before that, he had been out of the limelight for a long time.

Not much of a comeback, but was interesting at first to see Mr. T doing commercials..lol. And isn't Paul Reubens doing some gameshow? I remember hearing about him doing something like that...

Roem! Paul Reubens was in Blow! He was actually pretty good - he really played his part :)

It took me a minute or two to figure out I was looking at Peewee :)

He was very good in Blow. Of course, I liked him in Buffy the Vampire Slayer too. His death scene cracked me up.

Buffy...LOL. He definitely lightened that movie up a bit, especially that death scene...lol. Or when he gets his arm cut off..."You ruined my jacket! Kill him a lot" LOL :p

Yup. I liked the one part of his death scene when he paused to make sure someone was watching him die. That guy cracks me up.

It was called "You Don't Know Jack." I guess it was cancelled, haven't seen it on in quite some time.

Rob Lowe, yeah. Every so often I make cracks about him when my husband's watching The West Wing-- he didn't even remember about Rob's, erm, less-than-perfect record. *g* But he's perfect on the show, I agree, as the self-important yet ultimately good-hearted politico. Huh, wait, that describes everyone on the show.... can you tell I work for the government? Heh!

I posted this another place too, but I just saw "Blow" this past weekend. The scene with Johnny Depp, PeeWee Herman and Bobcat Goldwaithe snorting coke together just about made me blow a gasket. That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Fifteen years ago, who would have put those three even in the same room together?

Thanks for the laugh! it was a good one ;)

I think Charlie Sheen on Spin City rocks! I am also looking foreward to seeing Keifer Sutherland in his new series.
