The truth about Joe Flanigan...

Well, I got four correct responses to this morning's trivia question about Joe Flanigan.

The miniseries in which he played a gay man named Lionel Thayer was 1994's "Family album." Based on Danielle Steel's novel of celebrated actress-filmmaker Faye Price Thayer(Jaclyn Smith) whose family life is marked with love and strife. Lionel's father was played by hall of fame hottie Michael Ontkean. Ironic that Ontkean's character was homophobic since he played a gay man in "Making Love" (I know,. that's why they call it acting!).

Anyway, fans of "Stargate Atlantis" point out that the show has had its fifth and final season, not in its fourth season. I obviously got dated information! Whatever. Flanigan, who played Lt. Colonel John Sheppard, is a total dish!

Here's what else readers pointed out" Flanigan's hot boyfriend in "Family Album" was played by Joel Gretsch who went on to star in, among other things, "The 4400." Gretsch is married to William Shatner's daughter. Another piece of trivia: both he and Flanigan guest starred on more than one episode of ABC's now-cancelled crime drama "Women's Murder Club."

I found a pic of Gretsch (above) with Jaclyn Smith and another actress from the miniseries. But It's so small that I'm also posting a larger one of this very handsome man from "The Legend of Bagger Vance."
