This is probably more for you posters who have a track record on this site. There are are great many tv shows represented on this site. Has there ever been a time when one of the actual stars of these shows posted a response to one of the questions? Maybe not even THE top star, but one of the major cast members. Hey, how about a supporting cast member? Even an insider like a cameraman or soundman could have some interesting imput. So, can any of you veterans give names, if any, of those who did it?

Hmmm...well, just recently Emmanual Lewis supposedly posted at the Webster board. That's all I've really seen :)

I think the boy (now a man in his 20s/30s) who played Eddie Corbet on "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" posted on the COED board . . .

The actor who played Tom on Dear John has posted on that board fairly recently.

Krista Errickson from Hello, Larry posted on the Hello, Larry board a few times. It might have been an imposter I suppose.

Was Tom the older guy who usually sat in the back and never really said much? It's been a very long time since I've seen Dear John and my memory is a bit foggy.

On The Yes Dea Board the mother of the boys that play Mike O'Malley's kids on the show replied to a post once.

I you read the HL board and some o the things "she" posted you will know it's not her.

Yes, that was Tom on Dear John.

As far as the Krista Errickson posts go, I'm not so sure it wasn't her or somebody knew her or maybe she was just drunk. I understand she lives in Italy and I traced the ip address of those posts when they were made, and they were from Italy.

It wouldn't surprise me if former actors read these boards and even post. I think it would be actors who had their 15 minutes of fame, or a few seasons. Perhaps they live in the past a bit. Now they're living normal lives like the rest of us--most everyone has internet access.
So they log on, go to their old show's board, read what's being said about them....maybe even sign up and create conversations about themselves.
You never know. Normal curiosity. It wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Over on the Diff'rent Strokes board, there were posts from Gary Coleman, Todd Bridges, and Conrad Bain. The Todd Bridges one was fake but I'm not sure about Gary Coleman and Conrad Bain.

That would be cool. Atleast with internet access, I would be able to talk to a celebrity without acting like a complete dork- which I would do if I met them in person. :D

Tell me about it. :lol:

Richard Dawson's son Mark came into another MB I belong to once and that was nerve wracking enough.
