Forgotten Heartthrobs of the 80s and 90s - PART TWO

Scott Grimes is getting paid doing American Dad!

Rider Strong. I cannot escape my past.

x-post Who is Grimes on American Dad?

I'm pretty sure a lot of people had big crushes on Rider Strong.

Grimes is Steve, the son

whenever he breaks into song, I am reminded that Grimes tried to have an RnB career

Will there be a run off?

Jeremy London >>> Jason London btw (the 90s was def a time when every new TV crush was either named Jonathan or Jeremy)

im amazed that ive never heard of any of these dudes.

well maybe not amazed

you didn't watch hangin' with mr cooper? rodney peete's wife was on it

i never saw Boy Meets World, but I voted Rider Strong for Cabin Fever, writing some fun stuff about movies and naming his twitter @onthestorm

how many of these guys do you think are still alive, cant be more than ten right

Mike Vitar is now a firefighter.

Tony Lucca was recently a contestant on The Voice, and his former MMC co-star Christina Aguilera totally did not recognize him.

these are things I don't know why I know.

Nathan Harvey. Phwoar he was hot stuff

LOL i just noticed Ronan Keating is in that list, isnt he still going strong as a horrible UK MOR singer?

BOYZONE YES WHY DO I KNOW THAT

oh wait going strong? no idea

Yeah he's like, a judge on Australian Idol or X Factor or something? Wasnt he married to Delta thingy or was that someone else.

Nah she hooked up with the dude from Westlife. Then Nick Jonas.

*kills self*

Keating WAS on XFactor tho. Or is.

Life sure has been a rollercoaster for him

Whoa, I didn't remember Aaron Spelling put his son in Beverly Hills 90210 too! I guess he wasn't as good as Tori?

No Joey Lawrence no credibility.

Literally the only one I've heard of here is Peter Andre who is FAR from forgotten over here and is a prime example of what happens when one of these dudes' careers is kept artificially alive way way way past its expiry date.

You haven't heard of Ronan Keating?

I sort of didn't notice him on the list.

Peter Andre did a performance at my school. There was no escape. That gobshite is never off the telly here.

Trey Parker is the South Park guy y? No idea what he looks like though.

I think that's a different Trey Parker...?

Are you saying Trey Parker is ugly? Oooooo!

Ha, Randy Spelling, he was in Sunset Beach as some sort of street performance rap artist or something. One of the worst things I've ever seen, and I *loved* Sunset Beach.

Apart from Keating and Andre, who are still v prominent over here, Peter Cunnah (if he's the dude in d:ream that isn't Prof B Cox) and the vague idea that Tevin Campbell might be an r&b boyband type, I have no idea who any of the others.

I assume Mark Curry's not the Blue Peter presenter...

Tevin Campbell was a Prince protege, I think?

Yeah, I think so. He had that one song - Round and Round?

I don't know who most of these guys are either.

LOL i just noticed Ronan Keating is in that list, isnt he still going strong as a horrible UK MOR singer?

Ronan Keating did date Delta G but is now engaged to someone else. I think. Mention of Boyzone is an opportunity for me to link the following which will never not be amazing.

You can skip to 5:15 to see what really matters btw.

Ronan Keating has been married for years, they keep splitting up and getting back together due to him cheating on here. It's Brian McFadden that's Delta Goodrem's other half.

My brain needs rid of this shit, happy to share...

You're right about Brian McFadden - oops. Looks like Keating got divorced last year though.

Jeremy Jordan because lol tricky Google results these days.

Tevin Campbell had more hits than just "Round and Round"

also he got arrested for cruising an undercover cop while holding weed, oops

Is that this Jeremy Jordan or, er, the other one?

This one, I think. I'd vote for the other one, but since he's not an option, Tevin Campbell.

honestly can't keep track of all these jeremies/jasons/jonathans (some of them were "before my time" i think)

i def had a thing for will friedle tho

every time I see Jeremy Jordan's name I think of that bloody song of his

so I'm putting it here because I've suffered enough

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CV05oji5doc

he looks like the 3rd member of Bros imo

two more 90s Jonathans: Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Jonathan Brandis (RIP.)

aw jonathan brandis ;_;

he was such a cutie

I know. :(

adorbs

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dd/Jonathan_Brandis_Wiki.jpg/220px-Jonathan_Brandis_Wiki.jpg

he was the reason I watched Neverending Story Part II more than once #secretshame

haha aww... mine was Stephen King's IT.

oh yeah he was so good in that!

Brandis is all-time crush among people currently 30-35.

otm

Brandis mmmm

http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/8300000/Jonathan-Brandis-jonathan-brandis-8361668-320-480.jpg

yeah, where's Jonathan Taylor Thomas (JTT, to his fans) in all this? Not forgotten enough?

poor Jonathan Brandis - I did not know he'd killed himself until I looked it up after reading this thread. I always liked him in the first half of Stephen King's IT. RIP

yeah, vv sad

v.v. sad that should be, looks like 'w sad'

I voted Tevin Campbell, because: Prince. But both polls made me feel kind of weird because there's nobody there I can recall liking or being attracted to.

Maybe you were crushing on people who haven't been forgotten? My biggest crush during middle school was actually Donnie Wahlberg.

<3

voted Rider Strong btw

See a lot of these are "buh?" to me mainly cause of my age, I think. I was about 18-20 by the tme a lot of these guys were popular, bit too old to be crushin on the teen stars/boy bands.

My equivalent is an embarrasing list of forgotten people like Nik Kershaw, aforementioned Marcus Graham, and erm... Adric from Dr Who.

None of these guys were my crushes. I thought Brandis and Strong were cute, but my real childhood passion was for Kyle MacLachlan. You just can't be a normal six year old after watching Twin Peaks. I would never join in the big JTT poster orgies and would just stare forlornly at the 12 tape boxset on sale at Blockbusters.

Huh, just looked it up and it was six tapes. But it was selling for what seemed like an ungodly amount of 99.99 to an eight year old. So I just relied on my extremely distorted memories while the girls prattled on about which Home Improvement boy was hotter and NSync vs Backstreet Boys (but that might have been later)

Surprised Justin Timberlake's nemesis, Nick Carter, isn't on here.

ou just can't be a normal six year old after watching Twin Peaks.

Dana Ashbrook is a glaring omission from these lists. James Marshall too, prob, but he's lame.

I had a crush on Leon but I never told anyone bc I thought it meant I wsa a terrible person

I get why everyone is always "Tevin Campbell = Prince protege" but I first encountered him as a Quincy Jones protege

otm. "Can We Talk" and "Tell Me What You Want Me To Do" were bigger hits!

"Shhh" was his best song tho

That Rider Strong chart is ridiculously otm.

lolling at Rider Strong turning into James Franco at the end

to me Tevin Campbell is POWERLINE
