Craig Bierko

Kind of hot for an old guy. Anyone here have any stories about him? Is he gay? Anyone here had him?

He looked like hell on Unreal. No gay man would let himself go like that.

I think he's got nice eyes. I like the scruff too.

Waayyy back on the old DL, several posters commented on his halitosis.

I alway thought he was really attractive. Pings to high heaven.

Pings big time. Attractive guy, especially when he was younger. Still not bad these days, seems to have lost some weight over the last while. Apparently a very nice person.

Loved his Cruise impression in one of the SCARY MOVIEs.

I remember that well, R6. I think that's one of the first times I realized how hot he is. I also liked him in Boston Legal.

He screen-tested for -- but did not win -- the part of Cricket's rapist on Y&R.

He turned down the role of Chandler on Friends.

He promised me a great orgasm.

He got fired from Matilda on Broadway (or at least that's the rumor). He played Miss Trunchball.

R11, I thought it was a shoulder injury that forced him to leave Matilda.

Yeah, hot. But is he on our team? There must be some gossip out there about him.

Aren't all the photos on this thread old? I don't think he's quite looking himself any more.

The Paley Center for Media celebrated an evening with the protagonists of Lifetime’s series UnREAL. The exclusive event took place on July 30, 2015.

This one from last year. Looks ok for 50 something.

He does look great in that recent photo! Thanks for posting.

I guess he did lose the excess weight. I'm surprised he's not working more.

He was superhot as a psychopathic CIA hitman in The Long Kiss Goodnight. It seems when he got older his jaws kept growing and he ended up looking Dick Van Dyke-ish. He's still hot but he was a perfection in Goodnight.

He seemed very straight in college, but gay-friendly. He also loved being the object of peoples' fantasies, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if he has swung both ways over the years. Very nice guy, but he did love being a BMOC.

He does come across as a really nice person. I follow him on Twitter. He has a great sense of humor and seems to be a down-to-earth, humble sort of guy.

R24 do you think he farts?

Yes, r25, though I am sure he farts only rainbows and glitter.

Ex-boyfriend of Janeane Garofalo.

Well at least he doesn't seem to be a phobe.

He's always irritated me for some reason. NBC was pushing him for awhile back in the 90s. Thank god he never caught on with the public.

Didn't he go with Meg Ryan some years back?

He dated a string of H'wood actresses.

So he hates faggits. Good news.

He's a friend of a female friend.

Always a nice guy, always charming.

Is he annoying or does he just get picked to play annoying characters?

Craig is a long-time friend of a straight male friend of mine who swears Craig is straight.

I hated him on my show, as well as Matthew Perry. They both ruined my show.

Woops, it was her other flop sitcom , Sydney.

r3, I remember when he was on SATC, a jealous Mr. Big had a line about Bierko's character's bad breath and Carrie quickly defended him. However, ever since that episode, I always think of halitosis whenever I see Bierko the actor. So I wonder about the validity of what people have posted about his bad breath in the past for that reason.

(I have the same reaction whenever I see the actor, Shawn Hatosy, simply because of his last name.)

Having said that, I hated his character on SATC and thought his storyline was a big yawn.

He was very handsome when he was younger, but he's only OK in his fifties. there are handsomer fiftysomethings.

He looked like a mess on Unreal.

Didn't he play the lead in "The Music Man" on Broadway a while back?

He looks... how can I say this... somehow affected now. Almost as if he's less comfortable in front of the camera.

R44 yes, in 2000, co-starring Rebecca Luker and directed by Susan Stroman. All three were nominated for a Tony, including the show for revial. Bierko lost to Brian Stokes Mitchell in KISS ME, KATE. Luker lost to Heather Headley in AIDA. Stroman lost to Michael Blakemore in KISS ME, KATE. The show lost to KISS ME, KATE. Bierko was replaced by Eric McCormack.

R39, I liked that show; the landlady was a wonderful character actress named Lilyan Chauvin.

I can't believe I remember this, but he played a bf of Kristy McNichol's character Barbara on an episode of Empty Nest. Barbara kept saying that he was the most handsome man she had ever seen. He WAS gorgeous when he was younger.

He's lost a lot of weight, but he's aged quite a bit. Very active on twitter, and now periscope.

I turn things off that he is in. He has a naturally irritating demeanor and is always hired to play characters with an irritating demeanor.

R49 That picture looks heavily photoshopped, though he did lose like 50 pounds.

The first time I saw him was in Cinderella Man. Thought he did a good job there. I was surprised to find out that he was mainly a comedic actor and a Tony nominee.

[quote]He turned down the role of Chandler on Friends.

Turned down...yeah right...that's what they all say...Hillary Clinton "turned down" the presidency too.

He played gay in the concert version of COMPANY with Neil Patrick Harris.

Time has caught up with this former hottie. Bierko is still handsome, but in the 90's he made me take notice. I thought he was at his MOST hot when he starred in the Sci-fi flick "The Thirteenth Floor" with an equally stunning Gretchen Mol.

Bierko's juicy lips were always so enticing...promising deep sensual kissing that'd have the recipient of those luscious lips in danger of overheating. Great to hear that he's a nice guy in person.

Those lips have practically disappeared R54.

Is he a heavy drinker/druggie? He's starting to resemble Matthew Perry

Craig Bierko has the AIDS you know

Dated Charlize Theron and Janeane Garofolo. Two notable bull-doggas.

He wasn't quite as handsome as I remembered him from The Long Kiss Goodnight. He is one of those people who look much better from certain angles.

R51, He and Russell Crowe did not get along during the filming of "Cinderella Man".

He was hot as fuck and nearly naked in Thou Shalt Not, which I believe was the first Broadway opening after 9/11.

Three years ago, I played either r30, r35, or r50 in this thread.

He’s fat now. FFAAAATTT!

He lived with -- or at -- Carrie Fischer's for years. That alone explains a lot.

He looked like crap on Lifetime's UnReal show.

[quote]He is one of those people who look much better from certain angles.

That's just a stupid thing to say

The photo's for his new off broadway show "Harry Townsend's Last Stand" are not very good. He looks "Jolly".

r67 I would see Harry Townsend's Last Stand for Len Cariou, not Craig Bierko.

Looks like he has dentures.

R68, It's comforting to know that Karen Carpenter is alive and well.
