It's hard to say with certitude, but Michael Ontkean may very well have been my first TV crush, as I do recall being oddly fascinated with "The Rookies" as a very young boy. One thing's for sure, though, he certainly was the first married man I had an "affair" with, courtesy of "Making Love," a film I must have secretly watched on HBO at 3 in the morning a dozen times when no one was around. (How I envied Harry Hamlin!!!) Crazy to think he's 66 today -- almost as old as my mom -- as he'll always be that naked stud in "Slapshot" (I wish!) to me. Hadn't seen him in years, but then my guy pointed him out to me as Cousin Milo in "The Descendants." Great to see him again -- happy birthday, Michael!

Yes, I was a big fan of Michael Ontkean in "Making Love" as well. Might have been the first movie that got me totally turned on.
loved that movie...and I, too, must have watched alone at 3am...LOL
can you post a picture of Michael at 66?
have you seen him in the Descendants? (and I do mean 'seen' as I'm not sure he has a speaking role.) Unfortunately, he has not aged well at all.
Ahh...Sherriff Truman. That man made my little gay pre-pubescent loins feel strange things.
i searched for making love on netflix and all the suggestations were for "Jesus-like" movies. i thought it was brilliant.
He was also one of my 1st tv crushes. Another dreeamy one was a young James Farentino, who sadly passed away yesterday.
