Danny Pintauro

Living a great life with hubs in Austin , Texas . He works as a vet tech and teaches acting. He seems like a cool guy. God bless him.

I see him having to give a LOT of refunds.

Sounds like he really has his life together and is doing well. I'm happy for him and wish him the best.

Clearly Pintauro is still on the grift. First his thousand points of light tour, now this. He couldn’t convince anyone he got HIV from a one time oral experience, how the fuck is he gonna teach Cat on a Hot Tin Roof?

I think I knew her back in the day.

But she still sure is ugly.

There hasn’t been anything shut about you in over 35 years.

When I first moved to LA, he was always suggested as a match for me on Match.com.

Ok Danny. Thanks for the update.

He's not ugly at all. Nice to see he's finally in a happy place

How does one get facial wasting from being HIV+ these days? Or, is that how he looks?

Awful actor, awful person. I won’t be sad when he finally kicks the bucket.

The other little brat on that stupid sitcom got Covid. That show was not just bad, it’s toxic.

The only way he can redeem himself is by infecting Kirk Cameron.

[quote] Awful actor, awful person.

He played the role as a kid. How would you know what kind of actors he is, let alone what kind of person he is?

He isn’t ugly. I am ……er…..HE is stunning and brave!

Even Joey Lawrence can still get work.

What a stupid statement, R14. He acted in that role for 8 years and stunk up the joint in every episode. He was hired as a professional actor, and performed as such, so judging his ability is completely valid. He wasn't someone's infant used as a stand in.

As for what kind of person he is- anyone looking to profit off their HIV status while lying profusely about how they got the virus is pretty awful.

He makes Ricky Schroder look like, well, like John fucking Houseman.

[quote] What a stupid statement, [R14]. He acted in that role for 8 years and stunk up the joint in every episode. He was hired as a professional actor, and performed as such, so judging his ability is completely valid.

Why didn’t that show ever replace him with anybody who could act? They replaced Philip on [italic]Maude[/italic].

His replacement on ATWT, Christopher Daniel Barnes, was a better actor and much better looking. He was also a Disney prince and a Golden Girls guest star, not to mention Movie Greg Brady. I think I like him better than Barry Williams, too!

Either way, him being out of the closet not only did not help his career, it has not been good for gay people. Not even in Texas:

There's no need to debate Pintauro's acting ability. It's not opinion, it's fact. Anyone with eyes and ears can tell he's talent-free.

He’s uglier than the dog in that Stephen King movie.

[italic]Silver Spoons[/italic] was a good show that needlessly got sentenced to the Sunday Night Death Slot because NBC had too many other good shows they couldn’t displace.

[italic]Who’s the Boss[/italic] was a lousy show that had the same timeslot for about seven years, one that once belonged to both [italic]Happy Days[/italic] and [italic]Good Times[/italic], and their worst was still better than anything this crap had to offer. And when they moved it away from that timeslot, what finally beat it once and for all? Our beloved Golden Girls.

Except for Louie on [italic]Taxi[/italic], the best sitcom Italians were played by Jews. The Fonz, Carla, Dorothy and Sophia, and Ann Romano.

Yes, that is right. I would rather take my chances with Ms. Ann Romano than ever subject myself to anything Judith Lightweight participated in. Who bought her as a WASP?

Need I remind you of their out an out plagiarism of a far superior show on a far superior network?

The irony of Lisa Whelchel being pro-life is that the two no-talent brats on this show were only not aborted because of the Catholic Church.

And they take away the excuses for why Sean Marshall and Aileen Quinn didn’t have better careers. Unlike them, they actually had talent. They just had it for the wrong era. That’s what happens when you’re musical theater in a rock ‘n’ roll world.

I thought he was a Tupperware sales bottom.

Would you buy a food container from this man? How did he not end up homeless like Danny “can’t clock a tranny” Bonaduce did at one point?

I know he has had some challenges....hopefully, he is doing better and have joy and happiness in his life!

So, he didn't catch HIV until 2003 and claims

[quote] "We were barely advancing in terms of medications and barely advancing in terms of our thought process on your future, and especially for these people in my life who had no context. It was very scary."

Gurl, please.

To quote the name of the show his show ripped off, gimme a break!

He offered to bareback on his Grindr profile years after he tested positive for HIV. You can look up the Datalounge archives on the subject if you don’t believe me. An ex-boyfriend of his posted in the introductory one saying you’re not missing much.

[quote]how the fuck is he gonna teach Cat on a Hot Tin Roof?

First, you get a white slip.

He is disgusting. He used his undeserved fame to infect other gay men with HIV years after tried and true safe sex methods had been in practice. The only reason he does not get held accountable for this is because he is white and not Jewish.

Outside of that, learning about Tennessee Williams from the worst actor on the worst sitcom of the 80s to run predominantly in the 80s is even more absurd than going to a college endorsed by Sally Struthers!

Franklyn Seales was gay and died of AIDS, but he could act, so his death was a tragedy.

Perhaps he took a path he shouldn’t have taken? The choice was his. He took a chance and faced the consequences. I hope he’s learned from all that and has a brand-new life.

As opposed to the ones Alyssa chucked down the pan?

Oh, and by the way, that theme song was awful. Just awful.

That show was basically the [italic]Friends[/italic] of the 1980s. Same unfunny non-humor, same toxic sexual politics, the same white privilege, and the same creepiness toward children.

You wanna hate on gay white men, this one deserves it most of all.

R39, why are we hating gay white men??

I don't know, R40, there are trolls about these days that are making every thread about trans people being supported by gay white men, who are in turn canceling gay white men. It makes my brain hurt.

This one has actually harmed other gay men so he deserves the criticism he receives and then some. I just wish such criticism would come from other gay men and not from Jesus-freak FrauKarens like Candace Cameron Bure (who wants her in-laws pure) who probably think all gay men are reckless sluts who don’t care about their own sexual health or that of their sex partners.

It also makes me sick that the ABC stations that refused to air [italic]Soap[/italic] still aired this piece of shit. Katherine Helmond was an excellent actress who deserved a better follow-up show.

Nope, sorry you piece of shit.

Oh, you sound really happy attacking people for holding him accountable for his actions. He gave child actors a bad name when he was a child and he gives gay men a bad name as an adult.

Now you’ve only made me hate him even more. He should be in jail for criminal transmission of HIV.

So the Tupperware gig didn't work out?

[quote] So the Tupperware gig didn't work out?

A piece of colored plastic has more personality.

He must’ve taken a master class in stupidity from Tony Danza.

It was well-known how to prevent HIV before he even reached the age of consent. All of that prevention education was obviously in vain since none of it sunk through his thick Italian skull.

And this is why I’m sick and tired of Black people and Mexicans getting blamed for this virus.

There is no evidence whatsoever that he gave HIV to anyone else. Stop the nonsense

Oh, and Tony Danza was the father of the babies Alyssa aborted.

Homophobes projecting their internalized homophobia on those of us who are smart enough to have safe sex.

And anyone who would choose a show with a gay white boy who can't act over a show with a gay Black man who can act is both a homophobe and a racist, and when said Black man was born outside the US, is also a xenophobe.

I just saw him in some Who's The Boss reunion thing and he was such a princess. He had purses falling from his mouth and has a serious case of gay face! He looked good with a beard though.

Should he just transition you think, R60?

Does he still have meth face?

Hey. money is money. It's not easy to be in the public eye and then take a job as a veterinary assistant. Quite a come down and it does a number in your head. As we have seen, there are lots of child actors who have trouble adjusting to being out of the spotlight, and so many don't want to give them a chance.

But Pintauro has a life to live and bills to pay just like everyone. Good for him for making a go at it and being happy. I hope he's doing well.

I actually think he looks pretty cute.

It's funny, however, that he's teaching acting.

I observed his antics from the safest distance one could achieve at the Boat Slip in the summer of 2003 and 2004. He was a drugged up, sweaty, sloppy mess, thought he was the belle of the ball and hit on anything that moved. Exhausting. And the number one topic of the local P-Town rumor mill.

It's a miracle he now looks this good.
