The Hart Bochner Appreciation Thread

Really HOT in Apartment Zero.

He never married?

Hot but he didn't have a large enough oeuvre for discussion here. We may as well talk about a favorite GQ model of the 1980s.

Weren't his teeth kind of gummy? He might have got that fixed later.

Looked a lot like Alex O'Loughlin.

He once dated Sharon Stone and later referred to her as the Antichrist In People magazine.

He looks like he might have a very hairy anus

Gorgeous man and a good actor. Don't know why he didn't make more films.

Daddy was no slouch in the looks department, either.

shirtless

He was sexy in Breaking Away.

Dad played Cecil in Dynasty/Colby s

Speaking of which, R4, Hart was on the cover of my favorite issue of GQ, the one that introduced Michael Ives as a model.

He was excellent in Die Hard as the prick who's in over his head.

Wasn't he in the Pia Zadora classic, 'The Lonely Lady'?

So fucking hot in Apartment Zero. As a teen in the 80s that movie spoke to me. I was the gay movie buff with mother issues totally in love with the dark haired straight boy. I wanted them to get together so badly in the end.

Haven't watched it in years. It will be interesting to see how it holds up.

I don't remember that cover, r14. Is that a real cover? As a 90 year old whipper snapper, I had every issue, but don't remember Hart on the cover of GQ.

No, I made it with my Etch-a-Sketch, R18.

Seriously, it's the February, 1980, issue of GQ.

Hart in the 1983 miniseries The Winds of War, which is where he hooked up with Sharon Stone (she played his wife).

Saw him at Brentwood country mart. Did a double take when I walked by. Suspect he might be into guys.

That's what I've always heard about HART. Of course, now at 60 years of age his better days are behind him.

Is that him at 60?

I actually hope I look that good at 60.

I wish I looked that good now.

Never understood why he doesn't work more. How does he make a living, there are like YEARS between acting gigs

One of the sexiest guys ever. Last time I saw him was a few years ago in the ill advised remake of Carrie playing bitchy Chris' lawyer father. That was actually one of the better scenes in the film.

R20 Hart played Byron Henry in War and Remembrance. His wife, Natalie Jastrow, was played by Jane Seymour. Sharon Tate played Byron's brother Warren's wife, Janice.

Sharon Tate was alive in 1983???? And ACTING???????

Canadian kosher meat. And yes, he's gay.

He's actually older than 60, but looks pretty damn good for his age.

Rumor has it that Hart is bisexual, not straight.

And you know he's lying about his age HOW, R31?

R29, Sharon Tate was in a non-speaking role.

[quote]Really HOT in Apartment Zero.

My favorite shot of him in the movie

Hea a hottie.

Why didn't he ever marry?

R26 He makes ends meet between acting gigs by working as a Color Me Beautiful consultant. My friend was "draped" by him a couple of years ago and discovered that he's a Winter. Says Hart is very businesslike but friendly.

[quote]So fucking hot in Apartment Zero. As a teen in the 80s that movie spoke to me.

Me too. I watched him in another movie, and some woman told her kids, who was with her in the theater that he was their daddy.

Bochner first came to my attention playing an asshole cop in the forgettable, but kinda funny The Wild Life (1984). Hart was the prettiest cast member on a list that also included Lea Thompson, Eric Stoles, Chris Penn and Jenny Wright. He sure made for one hot cop.

The first thing I remember him in was TERROR TRAIN. He had an ambiguously gay relationship with Jamie Lee Curtis' boyfriend in it. They were frat brothers. The audience reaction was palpable.

Son of Canadian actor Lloyd Bochner and for all the anti-Semites on DL lately, yes, he's Jewish.

It does NOT add up....I remember him from Apartment Zero and looked forward to seeing him lots more...then nothing. I am kind of shocked at his 60 y/o pics , he looks good but I I remember him as the guy in Apartment Zero. Hot and Jewish...it's a mystery why he didn't go farther in Hollywood.

The first boy I fell in love with was of Ukranian Jewish ancestry, like Hart (also Russian Jewish). Unfortunately, he was straight, but that's always been "my type," Ashkenazim.

Nice booty as the evil fratboy in "Breaking Away"

In Terror Train

R46 Tim O'Tay's father?

Jane and Hart as Natalie and Byron

Jane and Hart in 1984 mini series The Sun Also Rises

Very nice

With Rachel Ward as a murderer in The Sea Will Tell.

With Colin Firth in 'Apartment Zero':

A major hottie, decent actor too. It's a mystery to me why he didn't have a bigger career. Still looks great, with maybe a little hairdo repair the only thing needed. Would that I could say as much!

He's an environmentalist. Sits on several boards and lectures.

Anyone on here done the dirty deed with this guy? (Or at least sucked him off?)

Yeah, r45, he played a jerk in "Breaking Away" but he was so hot in those red speedos.

Someone on another thread (I can't locate it) has said that they hooked up with him.

My fantasy as a closeted gayling. Good for the guy who claims to have hooked up with him — if true.

Funny seeing him play the husband of Jane Seymour after she played his mother in the "East of Eden" tv miniseries.

In the thread about celebrities you used to love but hated after meeting them, someone who worked with celebs said that he was awful.

I knew Hart many years ago (we went to college together) -- he was always a good guy to hang with, and was (and is) very straight. The only weird thing was that when we went to bars, all the women would immediately start to come on to him so much so that it made everyone else feel, well, left out and jealous. He didn't ask for it. He was just that beautiful.

A non-religious Jew, he was also very cool about just about everyone and everything. Weird that he made that horrible PCU movie which was mean to everyone.

Aren't good comedies supposed to be mean to everyone? If you're just mean to one particular group, it comes off as mean spirited, but if you throw everyone under the bus, it feels less cruel.

I've always found him stunningly attractive and he was a good actor, too.

Hart Bochner through the years.

Reunited with his Apartment Zero co-star Colin Firth.

Photos of Hart.

All wet, aw shucks!

Lloyd Bochner as "Sessil" gave us one of the most gloriously camp TV moments of all time.

Those green eyes.

He starred with Dana Delaney in "Baby For Sale" in 2004.

Dreamy.

He’s shirtless a lot in The Sea Will Tell, but the hair ruins it.

R15 I jacked off over that issue of GQ so many times I thought I would break my dick. I would give anything to see that issue today. R61 no one is very straight. That makes me doubt your story.

And me r72 - r61 just happened to go to college with him. Sounds a bit like Fiona Fangurl and her fantasies - very straight indeed.

I think he's kind of like Matt Bomer. Spectacularly handsome but not especially interesting.

I see what you're saying, r74, but I found Hart very sexy whereas, although Bomer is incredibly handsome, I don't find him sexy at all. To each his own, I guess.

Does anybody know what those pictures at r50 are from? The ones of him shirtless in the pool with the mustache? I had been told they were from the 1993 TV movie called Complex of Fear, that has him playing a cop with that same mustache, but I found that movie online and there is no scene like that in it!

He’s sex on a stick.. have always found him hot. Anyone who’s fucked him is one lucky bitch!

R61, sorry...you could not be more incorrect.

R79 Prove me wrong!

Back then Tammy Cruise was straight too. You can't draw conclusions from the 70s. The gay scene was too new to people.

A nice piece with photos of a scantily clad Hart Bochner from the 1980s boating with Barry Diller.

yes we had a thread on that

He defeated himself with that clunky name. He was beautiful, but there was not a lot of sizzle before the camera.

And then the name just makes it worse.

Tell me about it.

The lips, the face, the bod. He looked like a porn actor in The Wild Life.

Yachting in Speedo with Barry Diller? Totally straight

R81, I don’t know who that guy is, but it ain’t Hart, that’s for sure.

Old article, pretty interesting:

1.He's a Dem who mocked Nancy Reagan, which makes me kinda like him

2.He turned out to be what he supposedly didn't want to be - A fiftysomething bachelor: “I’m not interested in putting notches in my belt, and I’d much prefer to be by myself than with somebody I’m not absolutely crazy about.” The idea of marriage and a family, he adds, “is absolutely critical to the welfare of my life. I don’t want to be a 50-year-old bachelor, and I don’t want to be a geriatric when my kids grow up.”

Did his career go down the shitter when people found out he was family?

gggggg

At an all Boy mixer

Yeah, VERY Totally Straight

Wasn't Hart in those pictures with Diller.

That isn’t Hart in those pictures, but R61 is definitely full of shit about him being “very straight”. “Was (and is) very straight”—yeah, right. You went to college with him in this thread; in another thread you just hung out with him in Hollywood a few times.

Why even go to the trouble of lying about a 60-year-old bi guy you obviously don’t know anything about.
