Tim Daly

Small jaw.

Very handsome but not the most compelling performer. Without the family name would he have had a career beyond soap operas?

All those young men in the OP's picture went to the Leo Baeck Temple on Sepulveda.

Daly didn't.

I'd be the meat in that sammich.

He didn't suck ENOUGH cock or the RIGHT cocks.

You preferred Tim to Mickey?

[R6] Yeah, I think he had perfect features. But maybe for others he's always been a bit too clean cut.

Tim gets full DL coverage every August and it’s been this way forever and if anyone said anything bad about Tim or his big brother, they’d find themselves shunned at all the fancier book stores and libraries.

Oh his big brother Tyne.

Tyne is a LESBO and Tim is a HOMO.

I once asked him why he thought he didn’t become a bigger star, and he farted in my face!

His actor son Sam resembles him in some pictures (less in others) but he’s not nearly as dashing as dad

My favorite Tim Daly movie has to be Spellbinder, a yarn about satanists in Los Angeles. It captures the vibe of late 80s LA pretty well, in the clothes, cars, hair, houses. Tim looks ridiculously handsome throughout and goes shirtless repeatedly. A post-Top Gun Rick Rossovich stars as his best bud. A pre-Travolta Kelly Preston is the damsel in distress. It was rumored that they tried to suppress its availability in later years, either because the film's premise - that there is a network of cult members in LA that exercise extensive control - became a little uncomfortable given their association with Scientology, or because of Preston's nudity. Maybe there was some truth to it, since soonafter Preston's death, it became available on Amazon Prime.

His sister held him down because she was jealous.

Like Justine Bateman is far more talented that Jason but he used his pull at NBC to make her career go bye bye

I loved him in Wings.

He and Steven Weber had great chemistry.

I think he does well in comedy.

I also loved him in an episode of Law & Order: SVU called "Sin" where he played a conservative church pastor accused of being in the closet.

Tim is a really handsome guy, so I'll pretty much watch him in anything.

He got the looks in the family, but I got the talent.

Because his daddy was GAY!

I was first struck by Tim Daly's beauty in I'll Take Manhattan where he played the elder Amberville child who tragically went blind but still managed to find his way around a gym to get a hot body.

Tim ended up hooking up with his sister Maxie (Valerie Bertinelli)'s best friend India West, the most beautiful film star in the world, played by Julianne Moore. India West was so beautiful it was poetic that she ended up with a man who couldn't see the perfect exterior but only inside her soul.

There was also another son who was a dirty gay slut who was the son of the evil uncle (the mother was fucking 2 brothers) and the evil uncle arranged for a hot porn slut to seduce him after a photo shoot and plant drugs on him.

And then he was hot 10 years later in The Object Of My Affection. I can totally understand why Paul Rudd was fucking him.

Mickey Rourke looks so plain in the OP. No wonder he went the PS route. (Yes, I know: He tried to be a boxer. Blah blah blah)

R19, Mickey has experienced so many accidents with that face -each requiring more plastic surgery- he should wear a helmet all the time.

His body was hot in Dr Jekyll and Ms Hyde.

One of the most shocking deaths ever on a cable series. I know there are some Sopranos fans on here.

Judging by the photos - I say he was handsome but off centre. You see it now clearly in his old age. He looks like some old bird face man. The eyes are tiny and too close together - a straight line mouth with chicken lips and fragile little receding jaw. White boy made wrong. Like Michael Douglas. Douglas looks much better though. They must both be around the same age?

Seems like a pretty strong jaw to me.

Linky stinky.

Jaws.

Any pre fame pics of Daly?

He should have shown dick like his Wings costar did.

I was shocked to recently find out that he was cast in the Peter Gallagher role in Sex, Lies, and Videotape, but had to drop out when production delays created a schedule conflict.

Peter Gallagher has never been a huge name actor but has had an interesting career playing a range of roles.

Daly never really registered for me. I think he has been successful without ever being interesting.

[quote]All those young men in the OP's picture went to the Leo Baeck Temple on Sepulveda. Daly didn't.

Kevin Bacon?

Tim Daly, Tall, cute, and hung like a horse. ;-)

Tim's nose is nothing like his anyone in his immediate family. Did he get a nosejob early?

r16

Tell me about it

r32

We Daly's don't need work, or is it US Dalys?

I thought he was drop dead gorgeous on Wings when I watched as a teen. I don’t even remember him on the Sopranos though

Probably didn’t want to suck dick

R35, He was only recurring not a regular. He was Christopher's screenwriter, AA friend.

You don't become a star just because you're the handsomest, except in the world of soaps.

It's much more important to have "IT" than to be handsome. Kevin Bacon had "IT"; Tim Daly did not.

I really enjoyed his show Eyes and was quite disappointed when it was canceled in its first season.

Has he worked much with his sister?

Definitely got an early boner watching this on Cinemax in the 90s during the scene at 58:20.

[R31] If Kelly Preston was still with us we could ask her to corroborate. In one memorable scene in Spellbinder she sticks her hand inside Tim's pants. (Mr Daly wore light grey stretchy boxers, which I guess would have been quite on trend for the 1980s).

I think it was his likability and chemistry with Steven Weber that kept WINGS afloat for 7 years.

Steven Weber was far sexier than Tim Daly. Tim Daly is the definition of white bread.

R14, please share more details!

[R31] That's Tim's appeal. He's clean cut. He's white bread. He's vanilla ice cream.

Tim at his peak

I just watched Wings on Hulu (or most of it, it left for Parmount before I could finish season 8). At the end it was running on fumes a bit, but it could be a funny show and the cast did have good chemistry. It did a good job of not going for the big sappy moments that was common for sitcoms back then, and often would do a fake-out that there was going to be a warm, tender moment, or a hug etc. and then go a different way, and showed that the characters cared for each other in smaller more subtle moments. They also did a good job with Joe and Helen in not dragging out their courtship. They got together pretty quickly the first time, once they dealt with their break-up and moved-on they did not do a bunch of hints or teases of them getting back together until they were actually ready to put them together for good. A pre-Monk Tony S. was pretty funny as the down-on-his luck Antonio.

I recently rewatched "Just the Way You Are," a Kristy McNichol comedy. Tim's small role is made funnier by his character's desperation to secure McNichol (dykey as ever but playing it straight) as his wife for bearding purposes.

First of all, he was so pretty then that even I noticed and I'm a lesbian. But I also liked that he avoided the affectations that were more common than not in portrayals of gay characters in the early '80s. It felt respectful and realistic.

Tim Daly's father was a homosexual.

Yes, here's the interview where he talks about his dad's sexuality and how his parents kept it from him until he was 19, for anyone who hasn't seen it. It's a dark tale that begins around the five-minute mark. His dad was essentially removed from his life in an attempt to keep Tim straight.

I'd be gay too if I co-starred with Chad Everett on Medical Center.

God, I’ve always wanted to fuck him.

R44, Weber had the charisma; Daly had the ass.

r50 see r17

Weber and Daly are sexy in totally different ways.

Weber has an air of danger and you know he likes to do naughty things.

Daly is the sort of handsome straight man type you want to see dropped into awkward erotic situations where others try to turn him over to the sensual side.

Daly is somebody who would direct porn and end up giving workshops on harm reduction tools

The Daly Show

I saw Tim at Circle in the Square in 1987 in Coastal Disturbances, in which he was very sexy and charming. For a time Tim Daly, Tony Goldwyn, and Campbell Scott represented my favorite kind of guy physically…plus they all seemed like boyfriend material.

Tim, Diner (1982)

When I saw him on Wings dressed in a tight white baseball uniform, I knew there was a God.

R60 In that darkly-lit photo, I saw some resemblance to Tyne Daly for the first time.

Diner reunion. Tim has aged better than the others.

Bacon looks fine.

For any Tim Daly fans, you must check out his first interview with Kara Mayer Robinson on her Really Famous podcast. He tells some great, really funny stories.

I'll never forgive him for answering the question "Is Sean Young crazy?" off the record in his Avclub Random Roles interview.

[R66] By off record, do you mean we didn't get to find out his answer?

Once they got Steven Webber out of those loose fitting khakis and put him in some snug jeans most of my attention moved over to him. He always gave nice bulge.

He didn’t have the same magnetism as his Diner co-star the great Mr. Steve Guttenberg.

Which one had his dick in the popcorn box? That’s the only thing I remember about that movie.

[R68] I think Tim had the better bod

Tim Daly won the genetics lottery.

Julianne Moore's greatest role - she's India West, the most beautiful film star in the world, tormented by her beauty and the reaction from men that it brings, so imagine how India feels when she literally bumps into her best friend's hot blind nerdy brother Toby (Tim) who literally can't see how beautiful she and accepts her for her personality not her looks.

The introduction is at 50m 50s, the shirtless post sex scene is at 55m 30s

His appearances on The Sopranos were always hilarious. I’m pretty sure he gets the shit beaten out of him in every episode he appears in.

Yes, 67, we didn't get to hear the answer.

"AVC: I have to ask, at least partly because you didn’t mention her name at all: How was Sean Young to work with?

TD: Uh… [Gestures to the recorder.] Turn that off, and I’ll tell you.

[Writer’s note: Man, do I wish I could tell you what he said, because it was hysterical.]"

[R74] Thanks, I'll need to listen to it. I've also wondered what he thought about Kelly Preston. They starred together in the 1988 film Spellbinder, mentioned in posts above, and then later in another film in 2004. When she died he didn't post anything on his social media. But maybe they didn't really know each other, outside of a couple of movies years ago.

[quote]When she died he didn't post anything on his social media.

How rude!

When Tim starred with Donald Trump in the Associate

Even way back when I never understood why con-man human-turd Trump was appearing in cameos in several movies. He may have been trying to rehab his public image since in New York he was known as a failed businessman and con-artist.

Tyne was furious when Tim divorced his wife of many years. She basically said men are all dogs including her brother.

Link?

Tim was in the TV remake of The Fugitive.

Is everyone just going to ignore the fact that he’s an Olympic gold medalist in diving for the UK?

[R81] I've been re-watching The Fugitive reboot recently. It's good, a pity it wasn't given a second series. Tim is in his hot-guy-in-his-40's phase.

He was gorgeous. I had forgotten but he and Zack Morris were my two big 'awakening' crushes when I was 12 oe so. I used to focus on how his dress shirt tucked into his belt on Wings. He's really the ideal looking guy to me.

I loved his legs in all those Madame President bedroom scenes

Tim in B&W

[R40] Tim and Tyne together in Wings

I never realized how similar their facial bone structure is.

Tyne is Tim in drag with big hip and shoulder pads

Tyne is actually very attractive, but she gained weight relatively early on so it detracts from her overall looks.

Tim has beautiful feet....so fucking hot!

The Daly Bubble

Tyne looks like a prettier Liza.

*looked

I would like to do Tim, daily.

He was perfectly cast in Stephen King's Storm of the Century miniseries. Upright, intelligent, ethical, and hot.

He was in some HBO hot noir-type movie in late '90s or early '00s and was exceptionally sexy in it.

Kevin Bacon got far on being a heart throb in Footloose, when in reality he is not that attractive.

Tim appeared in an Alfred Hitchcock Presents tale in 1986, available on youtube, looking ridiculously handsome and very preppy in a white polo.

He did a good job as the writer on The Sopranos who Christopher beats up.

Tim also appeared in an episode of Midnight Caller in 1990, playing a sharp-suited stalker. Gratuitous shirtless scene included.

Are he and Téa still together?

He's sure aged well. But he can't sing.

He grows more birdlike.

Antonio was an AWFUL character, That accent was horrible. And I know horrible

He's Superman. On arguably the best Superman show.

That's something.

Tim broke his shoulder.

[R39] All the episodes of Eyes are available on youtube. I hadn't seen it before, it's good, shame it was cancelled. Tim is witty, charasmatic, and still ridiculously handsome in his late 40s.

[quote]You preferred Tim to Mickey?

I don't know about the other poster, but I definitely would have picked Tim over Mickey - not even close. Even at the height of his sexiness, Mickey ALWAYS looked like he hadn't taken a shower or washed his hair in weeks.

What the genetic jackpot looks like.

The Wings episode where Tim Daly wore a white baseball uniform: a fine moment in US television history.

Sometimes it's just luck. Right time, right connections, right role.

And I think sometimes it's the personality. Some people are just not willing to do certain things you need to do or take advantage of certain opportunities to get ahead at certain times in their lives.

For instance, some actresses are willing to use their sexuality and bodies (not talking about casting couch just unnecessarily showing it off) to get attention or sell themselves. Look how many actresses get ahead that way. Maybe that's why some of the best actresses don't come into focus or look like they "blossom" later in life when the sexuality aspect is no longer important for their roles. They were probably always great actresses but they didn't sell the sex enough to get the chance to display their acting prowess.

Handsome male actors have this problem. They get so much work - if not all their work - because of their looks that they end up skating and some just never develop as good actors while others do but aren't appreciated until the pretty boy phase is over.

Wings was a bad s(h)itcom that was only on forever (7 or more seasons) because it was in a good timeslot. Night Court was another such bad s(h)itcom.

Tim says he feels a sense of rejection, that there is no work out there for him. Also says the constant feedback he's received through his career was that he was too handsome to be believable in roles, which he found frustrating.

Although Tim is more conventionally handsome than Kevin Bacon, I would say Kevin has more sex appeal.
