WHET to Chad Allen?

After acting for 30+years, he retired, got his doctorate and became a clinical psychologist.

Good for him.

He was such a sweet lad that he gave me the Diabeetus.

Wasn’t his life ruined and he became persona non grata when wife Hilary Swank forgot to mention him during her Oscar acceptance speech?

Doesn't he have tiny meat? Like, really tiny?

R5 = Giovanni Ribisi

I always confuse him with the other Chad, the one who isn’t gay but seems like he is. The one who married Hillary Swank. Or was that someone else?

R7 = Rob Lowe

Actually her ex-husband was Chad Lowe.

As others have stated he retired from acting, got an education and is now a psychologist. I believe he has left LA altogether. I am happy he seems to be in a good place. His career was basically ruined when he was outed in the late 90s and no one would hire him after Dr. Quinn ended...added to that he developed a drug and alcohol problem.

How did he get outed?

Thank you R9. I don’t know how anyone could ever keep those 2 Chads straight (no pun intended) in their minds.

Didn’t The National Enquirer out him?

A tabloid published photos of him making out with another guy in a hot tub.

I think the other guy was the one who sold the photos to the tabloid. It was a set up I believe.

He was never a real star. He was always “just there” on various shows (My Two Dads, Dr. Quinn, St. Elsewhere, etc). Other than that the only lead roles he got were in ultra low budget gay films that nobody saw. That wasn’t exactly going to pay the bills in the long run.

I say good for him for going back to school and getting a legit career.

I believe Chad Allen has settled down with a partner - not sure if they are married

He lives in Vermont now. Here is his Instagram.

The Globe (not the Enquirer) purchased photos (sold to them by a friend of Chad's) of him making out with another guy in a hot tub at a party.

I vividly remember this because my granny was a huge fan of Dr. Quinn (and I had a huge gayling crush on Joe Lando) so I watched it regularly. I remember clearly there was talk about Allen possibility being fired from the show for violating a "morals clause" in his contract. CBS at the time was running all these family friendly shows like Touched by an Angel. CBS had originally tried to convince Allen to just say "no comment" but he decided to come out regardless of what it did to his career. Allen has said that Jane Seymour threatened to walk from the show if the removed Allen from the cast. But his relationship with CBS was damaged after this and it's the reason he decline to be in the two Dr. Quinn films.

R14 He wasn't a massive star but he was a teenage hearthrob in the 80s and 90s in a lot of various teen magazines of the era.

I always preferred his ex Jeremy Glazer

See I could have SWORN he was on Life Goes On, but apparently at was Chad Lowe?? I don’t remember Lowe being on that show at all.

What a friend. He should have beat his “friend’s” ass.

Lowe won an Emmy on "Life Goes On"

R19 Lowe played Becca’s boyfriend that had AIDS.

Wait, it turns out he was on OUR HOUSE, which was somehow a completely different show from LIFE GOES ON.

I should know this, as I watched every single episode of both shows when they were in their first run. Ugh!

Was it Chad Allen or Chad Lowe who screwed up the 2000 election in Florida? I seem to remember one of them was personally responsible.

What r21 and r22 said.

I think it was all downhill from there for Lowe.

Chad Allen still looks hot.

Maybe some of you bitches can go see him for therapy!

Chad Allen does still look hot. He was always the more attractive of My Two Chads—and the more hetero-seeming.

Some now I’m finding out there are two different people Chad Lowe and Chad Allen the same month I find out there’s a Regina Hall and Regina King? What next???

It’s a whole new world for R27.

[quote] Lowe won an Emmy on "Life Goes On"

Was he the retard on the show? They all seemed to blend together after a while.

LOL, R29. Trust me, there is NO mistaking Corky for anyone else. Ugh.

[quote] Trust me, there is NO mistaking Corky for anyone else. Ugh. Knew him for years, unfortunately

You should celebrate! Celebrate!
