BLIND ITEMS — "This C list actor used to be a B lister. A very solid B lister. He was on two of the funnier shows ever on television. Since his last hit show ended, he has gone from job to job but has never repeated his earlier success. Our actor is married with child/ren but he has a place he runs to in LA to get away from his family and which he uses as a base for his activities with other men. A couple of weeks ago our actor was walking his dog when he ran into a a guy on the street. The guy on the street was also walking a dog and the two started chatting and then before you knew it our actor asked the other man out. The man on the street stated he already had a boyfriend, so no. Soon after our actor walked away. Several other times the man on the street has seen our actor with his dog and with other men, but never his wife or child/ren. The funny thing about this is that our actor was on a show which had a large number of gay actors so you would think he would feel comfortable coming out." [CDAN]

so my 1st guest, without doing any scrutinizing of clues in the text, would be Kelsey Grammer. But I thought he was kind of A-list when regarding tv. I mean, he made oodles of cash from Frasier. And residuals from Cheers.
Frasier had 2 out gay actors that I know of. Maybe 3. There's Bulldog, Niles, and possibly the father.
its BUJU BANTON!! (I'm gonna pin the gay tag on him for EVERYTHING!!)
I want to say Matt LeBlanc for some reason.
What about David Faustino? Doesn't he have a nightclub or two in LA? Lesbian, Amanda Bearse was on Married With Children… But I can only think of one hit show and I don't know if he is married with a child.
I refuse to believe that Bob Newhart is gay.
kelsey Grammer is the one…
Smells like Ted Mcginley. He was Roger on Happy Days and played Amanda Bearse's husband on MWC. He also played 'Ace' on Loveboat.
I had a major crush on him. I am in my 40s and I was a kid when I had that crush. He must be 102. Somebody check his closet. Not only will you find him in there, but you will probably find an aging portrait of the guy as well!
smells like Ted McGinley of Happy Days & Married with Children – both ran 10+ years.
and he is certainly a C list actor who used to be a B lister.
A very solid B lister.
Funny the first three names that came to my mind were on here already. I'd lay odds it's Ted McGinley.
Grammer's been married to that blonde bimbo porn star for over a decade and has had notable scandals with sex and drugs. Im thinking its not him. He's not an A lister, but he does have a new primetime show, Hank, and has executive produced a lot of other shows.
Kelsey Grammar was the first thing I thought of as well, but I always thought of him as a notorious womanizer, not a potential woofter.
For the record, the other gays on the show were Niles, Bulldog, Noel, Gil and as stated above, *possibly* the dad.
When the hell was Kelsey Grammer on Married w/ Children? Also, I really don't think he's gay.
Posters, please. REad the TITLE of the article. It has to be someone from "Married with Children" who was also on another HIT TV series. That means it's Ted McGinley.
Can't be David Faustino. He was never on any other successful show.
Can't be Kelsey Grammer, never on "Married with Children".
The other clue was two of the funnier shows EVER on television. Do you really think Married with Children can be called that? Let alone Happy Days….. I'm just sayin'
I like how everyone is saying John Mahoney is "possibly" gay, as if everyone here isn't already sure of it.
oh man. I totally missed the married with children clue. I just assumed the dude had kids, like Tom Cruise.
That is a BIG clue. Happy Days and Married were thought to be funny shows at that time and did great in the ratings. Those people who watched it must have thought it was funny.
I think you guys are correct. It must be Ted.
I don't remember him from Dynasty. And I forgot about Hope and Faith.
And I was never certain if John Mahoney ever came out. So I didn't want to state something that might be wrong.
I saw David Faustino in LA once at some outdoor douche-filled cafe. Reminded me of your typical El Lay chrome hipster minus Ted McGlingty up his ass.
I wish it WAS Ted, but no way. I went to school in Newport Beach with his sis and was at USC at this same time as Ted. He's a really nice guy, but not one ounce of gay there. If I thought there was any chance, I'd ditch my b'friend for the day and be camping out in front of his house!
Who are the "large number of gay actors"? Are they talking about the guests on Love Boat? Wasn't Amanda the only gay actor on Married?
