Watching him for the first time in Step by Step. He's soo good! He just stole the whole show imo. I definitely want to see more of him and would love to see him in a main role.
I don't know anything about his situation but these issues/accusations around bullying seem to come up a lot and cause a lot of scandal. And when I see that, I often think there are many things that people due between the ages of 13-18 that they would NEVER do as adults. Why? Because they are children and their brains and consciences are still developing. An adult should apologize for wrongs they committed on others as children but their whole lives should not be judged and destroyed because of mistakes made as children (unless they continue said behavior into adulthood which is a different story). I say this not diminishing, at all, the lasting damage that bullying can have on some victims. So much can be said about this issue but I do wish the large scale conversation was more nuanced.
It's incredibly sad and disappointed to see this man publicly shamed and villainized because he's struggling with…
Glad my post generated some discussion. I am confused, though, by some assumptions that were made. First off, I'm not sure why the treatment of the actress charged with a DUI has anything to do with my point which was, essentially, about not criminalizing addiction. Getting a DUI does not make one an addict. Assuming that actress has an alcohol addiction because she was drinking while under the influence seems kind of premature. If it is discovered that she really does struggle with alcohol addiction, my original point is still the same. I don't believe criminalizing addiction is helpful to individuals or society.
Second, addiction is devastating to whole families and communities. This actor has an addiction issue and nobody knows how long it's been an issue and it has not been discussed what prior consequences may have happened before all this came out. It is true, though, that due to his addiction being discovered other people who work on his films and shows may miss a lucrative job opportunity. That is fair and that is hurtful. So while we have no idea whether he ever drove while high so we shouldn't assume that, I think we can see that there are some negative consequences to others and not just him.
All that shows that addiction, which is highly compulsive behavior, is devastating and heartbreaking and should be treated and not criminalized so that addicts and those in their community can be healed and rebuild. It's possible and all deserve the opportunity.
It's incredibly sad and disappointed to see this man publicly shamed and villainized because he's struggling with drug issues. That's not something to be criminalized because it is a situation that needs intervention and help. I hope he gets the help he needs and is able to get healthy and drug free.
My Goodness. I'm on episode 13 now and I'm done! Cooked through and through! This is one of the best BL shows I've seen so far. Love the cast but Fort blows my mind with how good he is! I will be following his career from now on. And I must give props to the director, Ne. Oh man! Soo good! So satisfying! I waited for this series to complete so I could binge the whole thing. It was well worth the wait!
