John to be on 'Nip Tuck'

[Eleonora]

According to John's latest message on his official website, he's going to be on 5 episodes of 'Nip Tuck'. That should be interesting!

[Bo's_Belle]

Yeah, i read it. It sounds interesting, especially because Nip&Tuck is not really a family show so it's a big change in John's career. Which season Will John appear in?

[morgan]

Nip/Tuck? Bleeaah! I don't like that serie, I saw some episode but I found them...poor and dirty!

And he left a good serie like Smallville to stay with his family to do this..thing???

[Bo's_Belle]

Guess what? I found out that in Nip&Tuck John is going to be a pornstar!

I've never been a real fan of this show, used to watch it when there was nothing else on and have to say sometimes it was a bit off...but..still, i can't wait to see John in it! He seems really excited about this new experience!

[morgan]

I'll surely see it, too, 'cause John is John. It's only that is strange to see him in a show like that.

I've seen one episode of Nip/Tuck and it's not for me. But I will watch John. A porn star? Sounds funny.

I'm surprised that John would do that show considering he's advocating for more family oriented stuff but heck he's an adult, he's allowed to do serious grown up stuff if he wants sometimes. LOL

Here's an interview about the serie

I have never seen the show, but of the previews of the show that I've seen, I don't think I want to see it. I hate to say this, but I am really disappointed that John would do a show like Nip/Tuck, especially if he portrays such a charactor. I am surprised that he would agree to do such a show, afterall, his shows are normally family orienated and he seemed to pride himself as doing family shows. This definately is not a family show...in today's world, my opinion, there needs to be more family shows on TV that everyone can watch.

Once again, there is my two cents worth.

[DaisyMaeDuke]

Well, I thought I'd give my two cents also.. well more like a quarter cuz I have a bit to say on this. Personally, I agree with Garrett in that I think Nip/Tuck itself is the worst show on tv. I hate it. The only times I ever watched it was the ones John has been in so far, and that is strictly out of support for John, not the show.

As far as him doing it...I admit, I was disappointed that John had to do it to avoid being typecasted any further. It's unfortunate. At the same time, this is going to open doors for other opportunities for him. He has bills to pay, kids to put through college and food to keep on the table just like the rest of us... and he is an "actor." It's his job and though all of us on here don't understand why Hollywood producers aren't knocking down his door, the fact is that Hollywood is very competitive and out there, morals don't pay the bills.

I think as John has said "the end will justify the means" in this case. Maybe once he proves to them that he is more than just a "good ol' boy" more jobs will come his way and he can afford to be a little choosier.

I guess to close my quarter's worth, I'll end with something I told John that he appreciated- we all have to do things we don't wanna do sometimes outta necessity... especially when we have families to provide for. I'm not about to judge him based on his decisions...he's an actor...let him act.

[Bo's Crush]

what is Nip/Tuck supposed to be like?

[morgan]

I don't like the show, too: I'll only see the few episodes with John, the series will arrive here in spring or summer, if I'm not wrong.

But it's true that an actor has to be different genre, one can't be always the same type of character.

For example, Robin Williams started as a comic, but he next played some beatiful dramatic parts.
