I had such a crush on James Naughton when he was on this show. That's when I knew I was gay at 11 years old - getting an erection every time I saw him on television. I had the pleasure to meet him when he was on Broadway in 'City of Angels' and he greeted fans at the stage door back in 1989. My heart fluttered when he smiled at me and shook my hand. I wanted to tell him I used to get erections watching him on TV, but that would've been embarrassing - for either him or me. Not sure which one.

His son (also an actor) is married to Kelli O'Hara.

I had a similar situation with James Naughton, R2 -Only I met him backstage at Chicago. And I told him about my childhood crush. He was really sweet -smiled and gave me a quick hug and thanked me. A real class act.

He was Taylor Halloway on Another World.

He was the back-from-the dead Baxter McCandless on Capital in 1985-87.

I balked as a child when they unceremoniously dumped the Dad from “Land of the Lost”, but was confused by my less than hostile reaction to Uncle Jack. I thought he was gorgeous. Then on Planet of the Apes, too. Shees. He should have at least gone on to play one of the Golden Girls dates or something.

I always confuse Ron Harper with Ted Bessell.

Now those are some childhood memories, R12!! I imagine Roddy really enjoyed his time on that set...

I guess those guys were way too old for leaked iPhone dick pics.

A shame. In their prime, yes…I’d leave the gate open.

Begone B13. Go back to jerking off to the thread on Shawn’s feet.

R12. Their bodies are so perfect in that pic. Worked out but not overly developed. Yum.

Ron and I write to each other and he is a very private person. I have loved him for over 50 years yet have never gotten to meet him. It is an honor to receive mail from him. He is a great actor and a fine gentlemen.

Are you aware he died, R22?
