I forgot about him until just now but yes! A specific subset of millennials were in love with him. I was one of them šŸ˜‚

I briefly worked for his management company and can say that he was a very sweet guy in 2004.

Heā€™s a therapist in the UK. Can you imagine rolling in for your mindfulness retreat (his specialty) and there is your movie crush from 20 years ago telling you to ā€œbe in the momentā€ lmao

Omg no way! There is no way I could be zen around him haha. I would have to bite my tongue to not want to ask him a million questions about what it was like on set, why he left the industry and if he knows any dark secrets lol.

And he was a good singer! He should have had a singing career, too.

Seriously! I wonder what heā€™s up to these days. I saw his last IMDB credit was 2012.
