John Wesley Shipp made me gay.

My favorite fact about John Wesley Shipp is that he is an unabashed, unapologizing complete Julie Andrews queen.

John Wesley Shipp posts here. Maybe he will respond top this thread.

R1, bully for him! He's still a big hunk!

OP, that pic you mentioned is hot! Is my eyesight bad or does he have a third nipple?

He used to work out at my gym. During his NYPD Blue days. Very hot. He actually gave me his number and we hooked up. BIG disappointment. Turned out he was high on crystal - (and who knows what else) - was barely capable of anything. He was just hoping I'd be able to score him more crystal. I think he's sobered up since and pretty much got his act back together. I hope so. I questioned whether or not I should even post this - but I assume I must have been one of many, and if he does read this I doubt he'd remember - but maybe it would encourage him to stay sober. So to the person who started this thread, what's that saying about maybe it's better not to get what you wish for???

I was VERY young in his Guiding Light days but I remember my mom and older brother watching it and feeling quite tingly in my swimsuit area when he was onscreen.

lord give me strength.

In the 1970s (a million years ago) he'd workout at the YMCA on west 62nd street.The place was great...we'd all be in the steam room.... Shipp, Victor Garber, Len Cariou, Tony Hamilton.... all sorts of young (and not so young) actors and models.

Was Victor Garber hot back in the day too? I remember him being handsome, but nothing close to the beauty of Shipp. I remember that he appeared on GL in the mid-80s as a very butched up possible love interest for Kim Zimmer.

I'll never forget his bare butt on "NYPD Blue."

For you, r9.

I'm on his Facebook page and he's very liberal and appears to be a very nice man. I loved how he was clearly hotter than all the other males on Dawson's Creek (ok, so it was a tie with him and Kerr Smith, but, I digress...).

He's a very talented actor. I loved it when he showed his epic bubble butt on NYPD Blue...

Give me STRENGTH!!

He is a top or bottom? WHat does he get into?

Chesticles

Bathhaus?

Nice guy but well known in soap circles at the time that he was enlisted, along with fellow cast member Marsha Clark, to be moles for headwriter Douglas Marland at GL. They would report back to Marland about cast and crew bitching and griping. Marland also enjoyed Shipp's feets.

Shipp had a beautiful body but not a particularly beautiful face. It was shanty Irish with a hint of the simian about it.

Shipp used that sweet ass and those feets to build his career.

Does he have what's known as a Lantern Chin?

With Bloom

.

His face is gorgeous

Mmmm, Brian Bloom.

his gf???

That's Mary Margaret Humes, R23. She played his wife on "Dawson's Creek".

I do remember that in his last series of "Dawson's Creek" he looked like a 'roid-raged Oompa-Loompa...

"I do remember that in his last series of "Dawson's Creek" he looked like a 'roid-raged Oompa-Loompa..."

Oh, dear.

[quote]John Wesley Shipp made me gay

Me too!

OMG - you think he and Bloom did the dirty? Damn! What a visual...

r28

what would happen if you added Jon Hensley?? I would come just watching it!!

Just an FYI, he will in all likelihood read this. He found a thread last year and commented on it - he talked about it on his Facebook thread.

(You can imagine what delicate flowers most DL posters were....he didn't have pleasant things to say at the end.)

This comes up in Google search, and since most performers have a Google search set up to be done daily, or every few days, that's probably how he found it.

PS: I think he was a beautiful man then, and now. I saw shirtless photos on his Facebook and the guy is hot. More than that, there's a very sweet person inside who is very thoughtful about politics and religion.

[quote] I saw shirtless photos on his Facebook and the guy is hot.

To clarify, they were RECENT photos. He is STILL hot. For a man about to turn 58, he's in amazing shape.

[quote] he didn't have pleasant things to say at the end.

he actually took it all in jest and was quite good natured about it.

[quote]More than that, there's a very sweet person inside who is very thoughtful about politics and religion.

True.

John Wesley Shipp once sang with Cissy Houston

He was my first foot fetish wet dream. As a kid, I used to fantasize all the time of sucking on his toes.

That photo of him and Brian Bloom looks like an outtake from a Falcon Studios video.

Yeah, if Jon Hensley had been in it I would have spontaneously combusted, too. No wonder Douglas Marland was so inspired in that era. : - )

Was always a nice looking guy and showed some acting chops to boot.

I miss the days when celebrities went out of their way to pose for photos like JWS did when he was younger. Hell, if you've got it, flaunt it.

Is it true that the producers had to break up Shipp and Van der Beek's hot love affair during the run of the show?

[quote] Is it true that the producers had to break up Shipp and Van der Beek's hot love affair during the run of the show?

That has long been the rumor. I watched the show and there were a few scenes where that chemistry seemed, to me, to show up on air....yes, I have a daddy fetish but still, it seemed super clear to me.

If it's true that would be a hard mindfuck to balance, having the real life and on screen stuff blur....supposedly the same happened to Jacob Young and Colton Scott on General Hospital. Didn't watch that at the time but the sexual chemistry was apparently quite visible on air.

Kissing his Emmy, while Bloon and Byrne watch with glee.

My husband waited tables with him. Said they were good friends but when he got GL, he walked out of the restaurant and they never saw each other again until many years later. I liked him on AMC. He torchered Nataliebin a storyline that crossed over to Loving.

God do I hope this thread lures Spike from the Best Show here

[quote]I miss the days when celebrities went out of their way to pose for photos like JWS did when he was younger. Hell, if you've got it, flaunt it.

I agree. It would be great to see some shirtless pics of guys like Kellan Lutz and Zac Efron.

His storyline as Douglas Cummings on ATWT was one of the best soap shockers I've ever seen.

One day I'm going to rewatch the whole thing on Youtube

He got around filming The Flash.

I thought he got hotter as he got older. I also used to confuse him with Michael T. Weiss.

Isn't Michael T. Weiss gay as well? He was walking sex in "Jeffrey". I can see Shipp in that role, come to think of it.

He won an Emmy for his role as Eden's *very* bitter, partially crippled ex on "Santa Barbara". I recall his acting burnign through the increasingly ridiculous camp on that soap.

r44=Marsha Talbot

I loved him on Broadway when he was part of an American ensemble that replaced the original Irish actors in Dancing at Lughnasa in the early 1990s.

I wish he'd return to Broadway!

r48 JWS's Emmy for Santa Barbara came from playing Kristen Meadow's (Tori) abusive ex, Martin Ellis, not Marcy Walker's (Eden) ex. It was a short term role, something like 2 weeks.

The category he won in was for Outstanding Guest Performer in 1987, the only year the Daytime Emmy's had such a category.

I was in high school when JWS did The Flash and NYPD Blue and I believe this is where my daddy fetish started. He was so fucking hot back then.

He was on One Life To Live in 2011 as the bad, formerly in prison daddy and was so hot and dirty.

Is Brian Bloom gay?

That's the assumption, R54. I honestly don't think he is, but would love it if it were so.

I loved JWS as the Flash. I was in elementary school when that show aired, and I thought he was the coolest. I was saddened when some people here made negative claims about JWS on that last thread - I guess I had this idealized image of him. It's hard to know who is telling the truth and who is not...

He was good in The Flash. He also gave me a daddy fetish in The Neverending Story 2 as Bastian's dad.

Daddy!

I wish he would marry me.

When I saw this scene, I knew as sure as fuck that I was gay.

And I wish he'd smack ME like that.

When I saw this scene, I knew as sure as fuck that I was gay.

And I wish he'd smack ME like that.

I remember an article in one of my mom's magazines.. maybe Us?...about him and his romance with dykey Marsha Clark, who played Hillary. I didn't even know *I* was gay yet, and I knew something was fishy.

I loved when he turned out to be a psycho on ATWT and Julianne Moore went on trial for his murder. One of the best soap stories ever!

[quote] And I wish he'd smack ME like that.

With my ankles on his shoulders....yes, slapping my ass as he handles it so he can push his cock deeply inside me.

Oh. Sorry. I had a moment....

JWS made a whole generation of soap watching males teens gay.

Before he came along, shirtless scenes for male characters were very rare. And if they did happen, the actor didn't have an sculpted body.

Then JWS arrived on GL with his gorgeous body and his Speedo. That did so much to change the nature of soaps.

And it also helped to convert so many of the prepubescent and teenage males watching.

[quote]John Wesley Shipp made me gay.

Please tell me you have taken the time to send him a hand-written thank you note on proper stationery in blue-black ink.

[quote] Then JWS arrived on GL with his gorgeous body and his Speedo.

And the enormous cock stuffed inside that speedo...

In the movie 'Longtime Companion,' one of the characters is a closeted gay soap actor and I've always wondered if he was based on JWS.

JWS and George Clooney were both in the TV series Sisters in 1994. Wonder if JWS made Clooney gay like he did so many others.

JWS and George Clooney both were on Sisters, but not at the same time.

The creators and show-runners of Sisters won an Emmy from writing 'An Early Frost' and produced the US version of QAF.

John, if you're reading this, we love you.

And, uh, a nice cock shot would be a wonderful way to thank us!

I second R70

Does anyone else remember THE DIRTIEST SHOW IN TOWN.I think it was on Showtime.He was full frontal. My grandparents had all the channels and I can Probably still give the minute of male nudity in any 70s or 80s movie ever on cable.

One weekend my sister was there and DIRTIEST SHOW was repeated un the afternoon.I didn't change the channel.When he got naked my sister exclaimed "He's on my soap opera!"

I had no idea who he was but he's been on radar ever since.

He worked out at a friend's gym in Atlanta.I think he lived there part time.

I just looked up "The Dirtiest Show..." and the synopsis has gotten me interested. I wonder if it's on Ebay for sale.

R72, was his cock big?

John!

Come wag that big daddy cock at us!

I wasn't gay either until I got a look at John Wesley Shipp in his Speedo.

That sight probably converted an entire generation of young teens.

ATWT had the most gorgeous men - JWS, Jon Hensley and the Italian stud who played Damian.

I saw John and the actress who played "Nola" (I think) at a personal appearance here at Greenbrier Mall. His Grandmother was with the two. I got an autographed pic of him. Of course this was years ago, at the height of the soap opera.

That scene with Nola was classic where she screams "OOOH I hate that name!". I loved how melodramatic the soaps used to be, to the point where they were great camp entertainment but not self-conscious of the fact.

[quote]ATWT had the most gorgeous men - JWS, Jon Hensley and the Italian stud who played Damian.

Don't forget Michael Swan...

Hilarious scenes of Andy drunk driving:

Mmm....John Wesley Shipp!!!

R80 Michael Swan still looks good at *gasp* 65:

He once responded to DL thread about him.

JWS did, yes. And unfortunately there were some rude things in that thread, so he never came back.

R83

Good Lord, Michael Swan looks great for any age much less 65.

Michael Swann could definitely still get it. So could JWS. And Don Diamont. Ron Moss. Doug Davidson...

If I saw Michael Swan and he looked like that, my legs would go up over my ears so fast I would get a hernia.

Yeah, Michael Swan's actually hotter now than he was on ATWT.

This shot with the cigar makes me .....I have no words for the hotness.

Be still...

...my beating heart...

hot as shit!

That Michael Swan person sure does love himself...

And we love him for that, R93.

His 1989 Playgirl shots...

R91

Does he still act ? I haven't seen him in years but he looks amazing.

He was gorgeous back in the day and is still very handsome. He does not look 65 at all.

Is he family ?

Michael Swan is hot, but if anyone was ever a pussyhound, it's him. I don't think he has a gay bone in his body.

But I think he likes the attention!

Swan isn't gay.

Several of the ATWT actresses rode on his sizeable cock.

I recommend that Shipp fans download his JAG guest appearance episode if you can find it. He plays this uber-macho drill instructor, it's way over the top like he's a victim of testosterone poisoning. Great j/o material.

R99 I assume you mean this:

Oh, I most certainly would...

I'm half Michael's age but he could still fuck me silly.

At Miami Beach lives a very handsome daddy doctor, he's very tanned with an amazing body and very similar-looking to JWS. I think this doctor - who is just an anonymous guy - beats JWS.

You guys may still find Michael Swan hot (I don't disagree) but you might freak out a bit if you spent time at his facebook page... he's something of a right-winger... a lot Obama conspiracy theory posts.

Which means he's totally a right-winger r104, don't hold back.

Wow, you're right R104. I hadn't noticed.

Ergh. My boner for him just shrunk.

What's amazing about JWS is that he was undoubtedly preparing in his trailer before his uberbutch performance on that JAG episode at r100 lipsyncing to Julie Andrews singing "I Have Confidence."

In my fantasies, R107, he and David James Elliot were having a 69 session in that trailer!

But it would still be while a Julie Andrews was playing, you know.

Wow. Michael Swan truly is a nut job! I just looked at his facebook page.

Swan was one producer Kenneth Johnson's best friends...until he fucked his daughter. A right-winger with low morals, big surprise.

Is Michael Swan gay, or just a hot heterosexual guy?

R112 see R96 and R97. In a word: straight. And apparently a rightie.

So many other Shipp era hot men on those shows, anyway. Brian Bloom, Jon Hensley, Gregg Marx, Grant Aleksander.

Shit, even Jerry ver Dorn was a hot fuck back in those days.

Michael Swan is still bitter towards Earl Hammer for shafting him after the Falcon Crest pilot.

He had played the part of Richard Channing. After that pilot the entire script was rewritten, eliminating his character.

Later introduced with David Selby in the part.

He probably thought he had it in the bag too, R115. His Wikipedia says he comes from a California wine family.

IIRC Swann had a real life relationship with the actress who played Shannon. They were paired together on ATWT

He also dated Robin QUivers

Has anyone seen the Shipp cock?

{quote]He also dated Robin QUivers

Seriously? Wow, never knew that. Didn't he bang Tamara Tunie as well?

[quote]Has anyone seen the Shipp cock?

I wish. He did show his plump ass in an episode of NYPD Blue, though. The most we've ever seen of the cock was behind a pair of tight jeans or speedos...

I remember jacking off to that middle photo in R121's link.

The idea of him sitting above me while I licked his feet and then sucked his cock....mmmmmm.

Holden Synder's crotch bulge made me gay, too.

Gregg Marx, what a dreamboat

Too bad he retired from acting.

I believe there are nudes of JWS around. I have one -a greeting card I bought back in the 80s at an adult book store. Naked JWS with a condom-covered hard-on... Blank inside. Nothing on the card to prove it's him, but looking at the photo there's no doubt in my mind.

R125, not a greeting card, but I remember buy a set of postcards with nudes on them and one looked exactly like JWS.

I hate JLS

Michael Swan is a rightie, meaning he is right-wing. What a shame he is politically abnormal. Thankfully, John Wesley Shipp is politically normal.

I printed the middle photo. I still beat off to that one. Hell, even with clothes on, I beat off to the sight of JWS.

I used to see him all the time in the NY Subways--usually getting on at 14th street,

Holy shit! His ass in that NYPD Blue scene could turn a straight man into Paul Lynde. Jesus, that's a work of art.

Dude, 100% agree. Watching him as the Flash as a kid made me so horny for him and I didn't even know what that feeling was ha! He recently donned the suit again on the crossover, he's definitely old now but still probably can get it!

If he's still hung onto that sexy ass of his, my face is all his. Sit right on down, John.

Any recent pictures of the hunk?

He sucked Doug Marland’s toes to get a job. Ewwwwwww!
