I just need to know if people have heard of this guy just as general knowledge, although the imdb page I appreciate. * * * Stupid people surround themselves with smart people. Smart people surround themselves with smart people who disagree with them. - Isaac Jaffee ---

No one has ever heard of that loser” So you’re taking a poll of who is familar with this guy, right? (My husband and I do this sort of thing a lot) My vote: never heard of him. Hope that helps.

I remember him! I had to look him up on IMDB but I’ve seen a couple of movies (well 4 actually) that had him in it. * * * “I love being married. It’s so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.” ---

And I guess I should add that I saw all of Threesome so I know exactly which guy you’re talking about. * * * “I love being married. It’s so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.” ---

Oh, he’s the homosexual from threesome? Yeah, I know who he is. Wouldn’t have known him by name, though. * * * New and Improved Enright3 ---

Yeah, Threesome comes to mind immediately. Seems like I remember him from something else, but… it escapes me. I guess I could look it up, but that’s not the point, is it? ---

Yep, I’ve heard of him. I saw Threesome as well and I remembered the name from Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead. And to be honest, I’ve never heard of him in relation to Sports Night. * * * I rode Omni in Springfield, IL ---

The only two I recognize are Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead and Threesome. I have only watched Sports Night a couple of times but it’s not a bad show. * * * That John Denver’s full of shit man! ---

Of course, the first thing I saw was the guy who was in Dead Poets Society while watching the premire of Sports Night. So yes, I had heard of him. ---

## Here’s my knowledge of Josh Charles for your poll. I recognized him immediately from the first thing I ever saw him in: Dead Poet’s Society. Then he was in Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead. Then he was in Threesome. I don’t recall him from anything else, but I definitely knew him from somewhere! Tacita ---

If I’m not mistaken, he was in ‘Dead Poets Society’. I think that was hi first. ---

I’ve never heard of Sports Night. I guess I’ll never get voted Biggest Fan of Whatever. I have seen all of those movies though. Not that you’re interested. * * * Voted most likely to ramble on inanely - I hope I’ve not taken someone else’s title ‘cause as far as I know I just made that up and I wouldn’t want to make anyone mad at me or anything like that and all ya’ know.
