CDAN – This
B- list actor is on a hit network television show right now. He used to be on another hit show back in the day, but was not the star like he is right now. Anyway, he recently got a very large raise and decided to spend a portion of it doing good. He went to the largest homeless shelter in downtown Los Angeles and handed out $20,000 in $100 gift cards to Wal-Mart to every person with a child and then arranged three buses to transport all the people to the closest Wal-Mart.
Don’t know why, but I thought of Johnny Galecki for this. But whoever it is, good on him!
[Hi BG – longtime lurker, first post!]
Wow! I dunno who it is but i think that is so nice of him! I kinda wish i thought of that or i think all actors should do that. I guess my best guess is someone…like….i have no clue. just wanted to say that’s an actor aCTUALLY doing good. kudos dude.
Sorry i wasn’t there? just kidding that is a great deal of kindness, you rarely see celebs do this. This blind need to be reveal so i can say kudos to that person.
i know, right? this is blind because…?
So NICE!
No idea what his name is, but the guy from the Big Bang Theory that used to be on Roseanne came to mind.
Good Guess!
I am just reading this blind now, and he immediately came to mind. Johnny Galecki is his name.
I wouldn’t be surprised because he seems like a nice guy and he’s sexy to me.
this sounds like the most popular guess AND there is a rose on the gift card in the pic, (roseanne)
That is SO nice of him. These blinds should just be revealed.
Why do these have to be blinds?!?!?! Let us know who the guy is; I’ll watch his show!
That’s exactly who first came to my mind too. Johnny Galicki.
Its Galecki. Cast indeed negotiated for the raise.
Agreed – totally him – was on a hit show for years but is more famous now. B- TV actor totally. What a great guy.
Tom Selleck. Magnum and now his Blue show.
Its Castle:)
I’m going for Nathan Fillion.He’s meant to be really nice.
Second it.
He IS super nice and down to Earth. I really hope this is him.
I hope so!
Whoever he is he rocks.
Johnny galecki!
Ed Oniell (sp) from Modern Fam and Married With Children
He was the lead character in Married with Children.
yeah but it was a different kind of starring role. he’s got more cred with this one
I agree! 1st guy I thought of! & married w/children was always more about Christina Applegate I thought.
Super ditto…I thought of him immediately, too.
Way to go, whoever it is!!!!
Yep I was thinking Al Bundy too!
FWIW, I am totally on board with this guess! ♥ Ed O’Neill. I actually know his mom and one of his sisters, and they both are very kind people. In fact, I met Ruth O’Neill when she started volunteering with the Department of Social Services. Wonderful family, truly; even Mr. O’Neill was very nice when we met.
Johnny Galecki, formerly of “Roseanne” and now on “Big Bang Theory”. First person that came to mind.
Why does this have to be a blind? Let us know.
this isnt gossip its a feel good story why is it even a blind? The fun of these things is to figure out what celeb is making a fool out of themselves. Just out whoever this is so we can all pat him on the back.
Cory Monteith.
Michael C Hall
Yeah that’s who I was thinking. Is Dexter a network show? (I never know what that means.) And he was on Six Feet Under a while ago…
I love stories like this. Very cool!! Keep up the good work Mr. Walmart
!
Maybe Tracy Morgan?
I hope it’s Ted Danson. He wasn’t the star of Cheers but he’s kind of a bigger character on Bored to Death. He and his wife were just on The Talk and they do a lot of charity..
loooove ted danson. love bored to death! would be cool if this was him
OMG I LOOOOVE Bored to Death too! Such a great show!
Bored to Death isn’t network though is it?
Ted Danson wasn’t the star on cheers???? I thought he was the main star.
great deed! i just wish it wasn’t walmart.
stop enabling!
LOL, seriously. Bless whoever did that, but we have to overthrow our Walmart overlords.
NPH? I love him.
Ian Somerhalder… if CW is considered network??? Used to be on Lost, but is a bigger star on Vampire Diaries.
ahhhh can’t think of his name but the guy from mike and molly.he was on yes dear back in the 90′s in a supporting role
I love these ones. I like that they remain blinds because then you know they’re not doing it for publicity.
If I could afford to, I would do stuff like this all the time. Good for them, whoever they are. I wish I knew who they were but I’m kinda glad I don’t. Then the focus is on what they did.
Captain Kirk?
Apparently, everytime I read “he used to be on another hit show back in the day” I keep thinking of John Stamos heheh. So like no one has mentioned him, that’s my guess…
Aww now that is nice!! and he is not bragging about it to make himself LOOK good.
This is good news!
have no clue
Michael Weatherly
That is who I’m thinking! He just got a raise this summer, and he was on Dark Angel some years back.
Boy if I were a down and out parent who ran across him, I’d be crying in gratitude right now. THIS is the true meaning of Christmas.
Amen, amagod!
Ed O’Neil from Modern Family.
My thought exactly. Just watched a repeat of Modern Family, and it was a light bulb moment.
A few points makes me think it is a mature actor, mainly the kids part, plus organising a bus to Walmart. Sorry to the young actors but the logistics made me think it was an older actor.
Doesn’t matter whom, good on them.
One reason some charitable celebs don’t call the paparazzi every time they do good works, is that they might believe it’s wrong to do it for show or to boost their career.
ASkars comes to mind, he just renegotiated his contract.
Maybe it’s Jason Segel. He was on Freaks and Geeks, is a much bigger star now, is on How I Met Your Mother… though the Walmart gift card thing seems out of character for him somehow.
Galecki or NPH
Neil Patrick Harris
I’ve got a couple of guesses:
Ed O’Neil from Modern Family
Brian Cranston from Breaking Bad
There is a Santa!!!!!
Why can’t Angelina and Brad do the same thing? Every time they give, there is always a write up. Every time they go out, paparazzi is with them.
David Caruso
Charlie Sheen, formerly on Spin City…
Ed O’Neil sounds like a great guess. But making Married With Children sound like it was “Back in the day” just aged me. My original thought was William Shatner.
Don’t know, but this made my day.
I love when people do the right thing, when they have the means. Whoever you are, you rock!
Brian Austin Green
New show -Desperate Housewives
Old Show – 90210
sounds kind of like Ian Somerhalder if he is honestly trying to help ppl with his charity afforts and not get some PR (cause I haven’t been convinced yet).
Old Show – Lost
New Show – the Vampire Diaries
I thought Ian right away, too.
I just thought of someone else but I can’t think of his name. He plays the kid on Two and a Half Men. He got a major raise in pay not too long ago, more than enough to afford something like this.
Am I the only one whose first thought was “O no, not Walmart”?
Tom Welling from Smallville
Why is this blind? Kudos to whatever this person is.
Bryan Cranston
I didn’t even finish reading the post when the guy from the Big Bang theory came to mind-Johnny Gelecki(sp?) used to be on Rosanne, he just got a raise in the fall.
I’m going with Simon Baker
Solved! It’s John Galecki http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2011/01/blind-items-revealed_3221.html
