The Name is Carsone, Johnny Carsone

Update: 4/18/2005

I received a very polite and good-natured email from John Carsone asking me to please remove the correspondence from him that I posted here, since he sent it to me privately.  Just so there's no confusion in the future, you should all know that any emails I get are fair game for my blog!

That's hilarious. It does give some insight into just how desperate the players can get.

[James C. Hess]

Curiousity gets the better of me some times: I visited his web site and I have a question: What's with all the chainlink fence behind his head? Does it mean something? Should it mean something? I'm sincerely curious.

[Lee Goldberg]

It means he's street.

It means he's tough.

Or it means his brother is in the cyclone fence business.

[Jim Winter]

Or he's writing this from prison.

[Mark A. York]

He's on the outside trying to get in and with an agent in Toronto it will be a while. At least he's not wearing shades and has his dog in the picture. I've seen that before with people claiming to be repped by ICM.

[Naomi Hirahara]

Unbelievable!

[Holly Lisle]

Oh, dear God. And I thought my mail was bad.

[Dough]

I loved him when he did that late night thing with Ed McMahon.

[Mark A. York]

Bit of a problem locating the credits too. Carsone Any time I see "featured" on an actor's resume I think "extra" work.

[Cornelia Read]

The chainlink fence thing reminds me of heinous band photos posted for sport in the "Douchebag Hall of Fame" on http://www.rockandrollconfidential.com/hall/index.php.

Chainlink comes in third after brick walls and railroad tracks as the preferred poser-band backdrop, if I remember correctly.

Plus which, this guy can'd spell "Luke." And I know how very important it is that actors know how to spell.

[Kat]

Am I wrong to say that he looks like a cross between that host of "Survivor" and Robert Staack (spelling?...the host of "Unsolved Mysteries". Sorry. I'm bored and this is entertaining ;).

p.s. Granted I'm female, but what the hell does it mean when he says "...on the leading edge of his masculinity..." Talk about an unsolved mystery ;).

[Joe]

This guy seems pretty cool. I think I want to party with him.

[Neb]

He has a nice look, but hardly high-wattage enough to be the next Bond, IMO. That letter is amazing. Unique, even. I, too, am curious about this "leading edge" thing. Does femininity have edges, too?

[James C. Hess]

I. . . can't. . . resist: The leading edge of his masculinity: Code for ubersexual? Metrosexual? Gay?

The thing about a given edge is that eventually it dulls.

[Ben Kennedy]

"I'm a man who operates from his heart, humor, and his purpose."

I also operate from my purpose. It's a special purpose.

[James C. Hess]

Doesn't that sort of thing lead to blindness and hairy palms?

[Daniel]

Is it going to Pierce or Craig

[Beth]

I once put a man on the leading egde of his masculinity but it hurt, and he ended up with some scars.

But there are no words for a man who is more croissant than Burger King. How can anyone dare to cross the croissandwich? Come on... it is a sandwich ON A CROISSANT.

I think Carsone has gone too far.

[Mark A. York]

I think it's time for him to come here and defend himself. Here's Johnny!

Dear Lee:

I'm kind of short, plump, slow-witted, homely and my feet smell really, really bad. Nonetheless, I was hoping you could secure for me the role of Dr. Jesse Travis on any upsoming made-for-TV movies of Diagnosis Murder.

Please bear in mind I have no acting ability at all, I live on the East Coast and am unwilling to move, and I don't get along well with other people.

Please see what you can do.

Thanks,

[Ricky]

I think he has more change of getting the job if he gets naked and drapes himself over the hood of a leading gay producer's car.

Well my stature is increasing too, but that's because I can't lay off the Snickers bars. What's his excuse?

[paige]

This whole exchange is a just a tad mean spirited, don't you think? Maybe you've all been in Hollywood too long. Or perhaps you've never done something a little absurd in pursuit of something a little outrageous you had the audicity to hope for?

[David J. Montgomery]

I have nothing to do with Hollywood... and, if anything, I think it's not mean-spirited enough! This guy's a moron. Although he does look a little like Michael Vartan, which would at least raise him a couple notches in my wife's eyes.

[Mark A. York]

It's plenty mean-spirited. Anyone who ever attempted to do what this guy has knows all too well. I sure do, but he looks like he's really grasping at straws here. The town is full of them. You should see Central Casting on visiting day. Now that's a circus.
