Honest questions ... do we know of anyone he has transmitted the virus to? Are there any active lawsuits against him?

None. Bree Olson (former gf/porn star) tried a lawsuit, but the timing (when he was diagnosed vs. when they broke up) didn't sync up and it was dropped. She has since tested negative.

If OP wants to try and boycott any works, then she (I'm assuming she) should reread believe007's post, because there's a LOT of celebrities that have done a lot of bad things. Either you let their personal actions interfere with your enjoyment of their fictional work, or you don't, but it's hypocritical in some ways to do it with some and not others.

There's tons of other actors that haven't been mentioned already, and that's before you even get to athletes.

Watching movies, and paying to see movies are two different things. Major League, with Charlie Sheen, will always be one of my favorite movies. Same with some other movies with actors whose moral failings are disappointing, like Schwarzenegger and others.

The odds are, that most of these people are untouchable now. I can't see any studio making a big movie with Cosby or Sheen anyway.

In general, I will avoid supporting an artist whose lifestyle I don't like, but it is probably more because their performance won't resonate with me anyway. For example, I can't stand Kanye West or anything Kardashian, but it doesn't matter because I don't buy rap music, and I don't watch reality TV.

I liked him in Hot Shots, 3 Musketeers and Men At Work the most.

Then again, I do have a weird taste.

I thought he was good in "The Boys Next Door" and always liked this line that he delivered:


"When we get to L.A., we should go have a really good meal. Some place really nice. Like the Sizzler."

If the movie looked good and was rated well, then yes, I would watch it. I don't really pay much attention to celebrity news and I don't make my entertainment choices based on their personal lives.
