None of you would probably be able to get this actor’s name, but you would all know the character he played on television as a teenager. This was back in the day. The show did not run for all that long but had at least one huge name who was on it and several others who keep working today. Our actor was popular during the run of the show and had three separate entertainment projects going on at once. A few years after the show ended, our actor, who is closeted, met another man and contracted HIV which developed into full blown AIDS. Everyone thought he was going to die. Everyone kept expecting the call but it never came. He fought it off long enough for the drug cocktail to appear and continues to live today although he continues to be in ill health most of the time. He has his bills paid for him by that huge name who starred with him on the show.
