Today its the 112th anniversary of Fred MacMurray’s birth.

If a biopic were ever made about Fred MacMurray, Benedict Cumberbatch couple play him. The resemblance between them is remarkable, especially in the second to last photo.

It looks like his nipples fell off in the fifth picture! LOL! I grew up with “My Three Sons”. When I found out he did movies as well, I brushed him off. I learned respect for his work since then. He is a really outstanding actor in the variety of films he was in. I think he is still an underrated.
Jack says:
Wow, what a hottie. I remember him from My Three Sons and the Disney movies, growing up. I forgot that he was so handsome.
