  1. He's Charlize's ex, right? The thing I most remember about Stuart is that he was hired to play Aragorn and Peter fired him on the first day of filming, then he was supposed to be in Thor but got fired from that, too. Now he's on WGN.

    1. Seven, any rumored reason why he was fired? Yes he is Charlize's ex.

    2. @Sherry, both times it was "creative differences" - Jackson wanted an older Aragorn. The Thor role was Fandral and he was replaced by Josh Dallas (Prince Charming on Once Upon a Time).

  2. Townsend was in Queen of the Damned and was much better as Lestat than Tom Cruise. Better looking, too. How do you go from that to Sean Penn?

    But he doesn't have much luck with roles. ABC's Betrayal wasn't very good...

  3. I just remember him as Karen's baker who slept with everybody on Will & Grace.

    1. HA!! Get out of my head @califblondy! When I did a google image search on him, that was the first thing I thought of.
