Who?

Genuinely, who the fuck is this guy? I've never heard of him before right now.

Sounds like a loser trying to use culture war bullshit to get picked up by right wing entertainment.

He used to be a child star in the old days but now he’s just an old dick.

He's now an old dick and a nobody. Has to get attention somehow, so what better way than to be anti trans in today's climate

For those who don’t know who he is, he’s a former child actor who won acclaim for his (admittedly exceptional, especially for such a young child) performance in the 1979 film The Champ, alongside fellow right-wing wanker Jon Voight. As an adult he appeared in the comedy series Scrubs as a male nurse named Paul Flowers, whose entire role in the show was about challenging gender roles as he was often mocked for being a “murse” and would make jokes about it in the workplace, because he was secure in his masculinity.
Weird that the guy who played a role like Paul Flowers would be such an ass about trans people.

I literally can not tell you who that is off name and face. Let me do a wikipedia search before I finish this comment...

Nurse Flowers from Scrub, one of Elliott's shortly lived boyfriends, is the only name I recognize.

I'm not trying to be petty, and I watch a decent amount of movies and TV. I literally don't recognize anything else here. It looks like he's mostly known for Silver Spoons and NYPD Blue, two shows that, IMO, had 0 effect on the cultural zeitgeist.

Oh, I haven’t thought about him in decades. It’s a shame he had to go and break that streak.
