(26,263 posts)He really was a very handsome man. But I wonder if carrying the legacy of his grandfather was more of a burden than he was capable of carrying. Especially if he wanted to be an actor. That's one big pair of shoes to attempt to fill.

(5,167 posts)I saw his hostings on "Cheaters" many times, and, believe me, he was not cut out to be an actor.
Perhaps his grandfather's name led him into that profession, but I suspect he likely would have led a longer life had he found his own niche and followed that.
RIP.
