Favorites Of Favorites: Scott Herman



Scott Herman first came to my attention with his appearance on The Real World: Brooklyn. Many would be actors and models have come and gone on The Real World but there was something about Scott that had him stand out. Yes, Scott is hot, but it was his personality and winning smile that made him impossible not to love. After The Real World Scott returned to modeling and acting and became a regular on many sites and blogs.

Below: Scott 'Cosmo' appearance.


Why Scott is a Favorite:

First let me say that I post a lot of great looking guys on FH. So many in fact that looks are not what grabs my attention. I have said before that the Internet is full of sites that simply post beautiful pictures. In order to get my attention you need more. Scott most certainly has more.

That smile I already mentioned is just the beginning of why Scott Herman is a favorite. After my first post on Scott last year, he took the time to send me a thank you. A few actors and models have written to say thank you, but there was something about Scott's note that stood out. First he followed up the note with several more. He let me know what he was up to, and thanked me for posting. Scott, more than any other model or actor I have seen wisely knew the power of the Internet and how it, unlike tv and print, can create an interactive environment with fans. Many celebrities now use facebook and twitter to interact with their fans, but Scott does not just interact. Scott forms relationships. In doing so, Scott has gained a huge following not just of fans, but of loyal supporters who not only enjoy his work but respect it. They not only follow his projects, Scott has them apart of them. If you dare post rude remarks about Scott on the net, be sure there are going to be hundreds of supporters on your back.



I love Scott Herman because he is adorable, he is kind and he is giving. Most of all however I admire Scott Herman for what he has accomplished. Raised with his brother in Massachusetts by his supportive mother, Scott was thought by some as week. Scott Herman chose to handle this by working hard, overcoming obstacles and went on to be the first in the family to graduate in college. I love Scott because as I have said before, Scott not only embraces all his fans, (men, women, old, young, gay, straight), he understands their power and loyalty.



It was over a year ago that I first remember Scott talking about Scott Herman fitness. Now, Scott's fitness community has grown with over 3.3 million video views and over 21,000 subscribers. Scott's goal is not a small one, he wants to teach fitness to the world. Certainly not a goal for someone weak. This is the goal of someone not only strong, but smart, committed and passionate.

"I will never stop doing what I am doing. One man can make a difference, and I am happy to do the work!"

Favorite Pic of the Day for April 17th


New shot of one of the hottest men on the planet, Leonardo Corredor by one of the most talented men on the planet, David Vance. Just Beautiful!

Actors I Love: CCH Pounder

I am not sure when I first saw actress CCH Pounder on screen. It could have been walking the halls on ER as Dr. Angela Hicks. It could have been appearances on The Practice, The X Files, L.A Law or one of the many other guest shots she has nailed on various shows over the past 3 decades. I do know though that it was renting 1987's Out of Rosenheim (Bagdad Cafe) that cemented for me this was one amazing actress. Flipping the channels the other night I caught a few minutes of CCH on Celebrity Jeopardy. She did not win, in fact she came in third. CCH often comes in third or forth in the projects she appears in. Yet, like on Jeopardy she usually leaves a more lasting and impactful impression than those in first or second. Quite the feat... Whether it be guest shots on ER, The Shield or in last years blockbuster Avatar, CCH stands out. In fact in many instances she rises above the material. There is something special about her, I think most people see it the second they first lay eyes on her. I am not sure how to describe it, part earth mother, somewhat mystical but however you choose to put it, she is 'a part of' yet somehow ' a step above' the projects she is a part of. Pure and simple, CCH Pounder is extraordinary. As one of the founders of 'Artists for a New South Africa', Pounder has energized awareness of post-apartheid and HIV/AIDS issues. "I call it my little engine that could. It is a remarkable, tiny organization with a huge outreach. We use actors and artists with the biggest voices so they can use every opportunity to talk about AIDS." CCH Pounder CCH Pounder: An Actor I Love.
