praying that his treatment is successful

I just saw that on the AOL news page.

Hope everything works out for him...

OH NO! I love that guy. I hope he recovers fully. He is dating his "sister" (ON THE SHOW), co-star Jennifer Carpenter.

that's too bad--but he'll always be David Fisher to me!

They married early last year.

Love the show and wish him well.

Is that Six Feet Under? I was never an HBO guy. I tried watching it when Universal reran it, but it seemed boring. I love him on Dexter.

JackieBlue said:

Yep, forgot. They announced in early January 2009 that they had eloped on New Year's Eve in California. Their first appearance as husband and wife will be on the Globes.

ernestsewell said:

yeah, it was pretty slow & sensitive, but I was hooked on it

NDRU said:

it was great IMO. it did get boring in the last season though

Cuddles said:

I loved it, but I could see how some people might think it's dull or weird. It was probably in my top 5 shows of the decade.

ernestsewell said:

He was the shit on "Six Feet Under" Damn sorry to hear he has cancer, hope all goes well.

Cancer sucks

Hope he has a complete recovery!

Oh no! Not "The Geek"

Cuddles said:

It was a great show, the final episode was perfect IMO.

I am sorry to hear about his Cancer. Glad to hear that he has been treated and has a positive attitude.

NHLs (not Hockey) are a mixed bag - some are real bastards but some are easily treatable, none are a walk in the park sadly but I'm sure the fellas in great hands and, not being vulgar, his money will no doubt get him care many can not afford.

In my work I see a lot of these and, although it can hit at any age, his 'youth' will certainly be a huge advantage towards a favourable outcome

I really like him, Dexter Seasons 1 and 2 were fantastic (the rest are shit).

I only saw season 1, 2 & 3 and loved it!
Hope he gets well.

I loved the first three seasons of Six Feet Under. Oh, and that final episode was brilliantly done. I loved that song going as the future played out. So well done.

Best of luck to Michael. He's a very talented actor and I hope he's doing well.

Sniff...

Oh, yeah, that's it. Seeing Nate running behind her in the mirror, and then dropping back, always gets to me. And the rest of it kind of makes me a blubbering idiot too.

Efan said:

I cried like a baby when I saw that final episode.

I love that song too.

GODDAMN FUCKING SPOILERS, PEOPLE!!!!
