I NEVER LIKED HIM. I first saw him on thirtysomething and although all of those characters were insipid in their own ways, and caricatures of real humans, he gave me the creeps somehow. My then-girlfriend had the hots for him and for the lead character, and I told her that that’s why some women get themselves into trouble and ignore normal guys (and yes, men do equally horrendous things) and then wonder what all went wrong.

O anything else, for that matter.

I thought that he was one of West Wing’s lesser characters. And again, creepy.

There's no accounting for some people's taste.

My husband and I were talking about the West Wing last week (precipitated by a visit from one of my summer interns whose last name is Cregg) and i told him I couldn't stand the actor who played Danny, in anything he performed in. Just gave me a bad feeling. Guess I was right (even though I know and accusation is just that.)
But going missing isn't a good look

Learn to discern between imagination and reality with the gut feeling. It takes practice. Personally, I believe this type of intuition is a gift from God for women.

I went with a friend to his house for lunch one day. We were both about 20 years old. His father showed up for lunch as well and we met for the first time. I greeted him with a handshake and smile, and then I got the creepiest feeling, like he was seeing me naked. Maybe he looked at me a tenth of a second too long. Or he didn't release the handshake soon enough. Anyway, I avoided being alone with him. Thirty-five years later I heard gross stories about him making passes at his wife's married friends. And another story that he molested his toddler grandchild while they were in the pool. I believe he died in prison, transferred to another state, after another molestation felony.

Busfield never made an impression on me, except to say I never sought him out in other shows and movies. I simply felt nothing for him. Zero attraction, which for that time in my life, was unusual.

"...equally horrendous..." to what?

I had no idea who he was. But I figured your opinion would be on target. So I looked him up. I never have watched any of the types of things he is famous for acting in. It sounds like he has been known to be a dangerous creep for over thirty years.

What the fuck is wrong with people?

Granted, Revenge of the Nerds has aged very, very, very badly.

A lot of 80's films have aged poorly.

High on wonder joints.

It seemed to happen a lot in 80s movies. Busfield was in Stripes too.

Didn't make much of an impression. Mostly played side characters. He needs to turn himself in. He's only making it worse.

Melissa Gilbert (Little House on the Prairie). Admittedly, I tended to ignore him as I was not a fan.

I would love to believe he is innocent of these charges (mainly for Gilbert's sake) but... Damn.

saw him in anything.

I wondered if anyone would post this on DU, I saw it yesterday on The Guardian.

Little Big League, and of course, Field of Dreams.

If the allegations are true, that's definitely upsetting.

...this past weekend.
It's been a while since I watched it.
The kid & his mom are both great.

...and both played into the whole "kid's professional baseball fantasy" subgenre, and while I believe Rookie of the Year was more successful at the box office, I found Little Big League to be the much better movie.

Rookie Of The Year is a little sillier, and that lack of taking itself seriously makes it a bit more fun.

I'm withholding judgment on this one until I learn more of the facts. I saw a story about a week ago and the explanation of the alleged incidents just didn't add up to me. I felt it might be a case of someone trying to get a payout.

By no means do I minimize these charges. If they are true, then to hell with the asshole. But I still believe in innocent until proven guilty. So, I'm anxious to see how the story unfolds.

and not jump to conclusions.

He is vowing to fight the charges. Let's wait and see.

I'm trying to withhold judgement but evading police isn't a good look.

One's impressions of an actor whether physical attraction or mental are based on their acting skills in any given role that they play. Who they are in real life is another story.

Please let's stop. . . .

before convicting someone right off the bat. At least wait a little bit!

WTF happened to due process
