Today’s Morning Man: Dylan McDermott!

Wishing a happy birthday to the oh-so-talented and oh-so-handsome Dylan McDermott who turns 63 today.

We learned in a 2011 interview with Brandon Voss for The Advocate, Dylan was not aware has a HUGE gay following.

But he is aware many gay men find him attractive and sometimes hit on him: “Oh, yeah. Honestly, I’m cool with everyone, and people pick up on that. I’d say, ‘I’m not gay, but it’s all good.’ It’s kind of like going to Paris when you don’t know the language; some Americans get into trouble over there, but I’m just like, ‘Sorry, I don’t speak French.’”

I became deeply smitten with Dylan when he played passionate attorney Bobby Donnell on The Practice all those years ago. I was already familiar with the handsome actor from his role as Julia Roberts’ husband on Steel Magnolias

For years, Dylan had not been able to repeat the success of The Practice with any his follow-up series Big Shots, Dark Blue, Hostage, Stalker and the workplace comedy LA to Vegas.

But he starred in four seasons of American Horror Story, co-starred in the miniseries Hollywood, and portrayed narcotics crime lord Richard Wheatley on the first two seasons Law & Order: Organized Crime. Now he’s the lead in the established CBS hit series FBI: Most Wanted.

His movie roles include such films as King Richard, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Olympus Has Fallen, The Campaign, Olympus Has Fallen, and Survivor, among others.
