Subject: MJ...I've been online and involved in DJE fandom since June '98. I started watching JAG the beggining of seas.2 (I didn't even know there had been a seas.1...until the summer reruns when Meg showed up.)...and was quickly hooked. ---> inside... I'm over
In reply to: mj (who's got a birthday coming up -- aging's on my mind!) 's message, "Reading your exchange, Mz. Chief and Carol C made me realize that you two (as well as quite a few others) have been watching David in various roles for quite some time. I've only seen him 'age' through his photos and snippets from on-line glimpses and watching JAG for almost 2 years now. I think he's MUCH better-looking and more interesting looking now. Hope he gets more intersting roles because of this! Cheers,'oldtimers' (who I think I'm older than both of you!)" on 17:23:03 09/22/08 Mon

My biggest frustration was why this show...it seemed to do well on TV... and the amazingly good looking star was totally ignored by the press. No one I knew watched it, I couldn't find any information about DJE...it was so frustrating!! And then we bought a computer (actually I read in TV Guide that DJE was going to do an online chat and I wanted in!! It didn't work out but that's another story.) and I was no longer alone. LOL Since that time I've been involved in 3 websites, a convention (what a nightmare!!) and the JAG fanfests. Their have been some ups and downs but through it all I'm still a fan of DJE. LOL

[> [> [> [> CarolC, I scratch my head every day wondering why on earth, DJE is not given his 'propers' (I heard 'Respect' by Aretha Franklin the other day, LOL) in Hollywood....inside -- mj, 08:45:43 09/25/08 Thu [1]

All i can figure is that he just doesn't play the hype game with all the publicity-hungry promoters, he doesn't suck up to TPTB, folks are just plain jealous, he's a decent, normal guy and doesn't have the dysfunctional needs that some of the typical 'hunks' have -- oh, I don't know -- I just don't get it at all. The other thing is -- he's been in a successful TV series (even without all the hype, though, there was a period when it seems like he did get a good deal of attention -- only from what I read online at your sites -- I was totally unaware of JAG and him before 2006!, and that makes it super hard to go on auditions....both from TPTB's standpoint (as they want to typecast him) and his standpoint (it's super-humiliating after you've been successful to undergo readings for parts). It's like a guy who was a former CEO of a company having to go on interviews for a job! Anyway, I think he's great and deserves whatever he wants and should be as able to call his own shots as much as a Clooney or Pitt or some of the other super hyped-up good-looking male stars out there. Wish I could've gone to a JAG convention or fanfest!
