If The Shoe Fits

On tonight's ER Jerry, played by the Uber-Woofy Abraham Benrubi is IM'ing and get some news about Dr. Carter that he follows by congratulating Carter on his promotion.

Carter, trying to figure out where Jerry got his information looks over his shoulder and sees a name of "CoreyB123" that he's IM'ing with. Then he proceeds to read aloud Jerry's IM ID -

I personally have had two encounters with Abe... once back when he was on "Parker Lewis" he sat a few seats away from me at a Revolving Sushi Bar.... I remember as I was leaving I found a $100 on the floor near him but I ended up keeping it....

A few years later I was heading into the Virgin Megastore and he was coming out of Virgin with a bag of stuff...I just froze and he looked at me....

So a friend of mine who used to drive cabs claims he used to drive young little twinks into Abe's house in Encino.... who knows... *shrugs*

I've heard stories like that (I run his website) but it's all circumstantial. I think (best I can nail down) is that he's gay "friendly". He knows for sure that he has a following and he's fine with it...but as far as what side of the fence he's on???? It's anyone's guess. I haven't seen (or heard) any conclusive evidence either way.

I did like how he was featured very much during the episode....love the grey hair and that bald spot ;)

Although in my fantasies he would be gay... but I think it rocks he collects comics books - I know the store he apparantly shops at but I haven't seen him there yet... I feel dorky for not saying hello the two times I've seen him but I seem to freeze up whenever I see someone in Entertainment - EVEN when I go to Comicon and I stand in line for hours to meet a celebrity.... *blushes*

I'm always happy to promote the website when I mention Abe. It was certainly one of the most Jerry intensive episodes in recent memory. The only ones that really said much about his life were the ones where he was trying to win the lottery, one where he mentioned taking college courses, and where he actually played softball with the other characters and was seen outside the ER for once.
