Peter Barton

as a teenager I sat one seat over from him at a matinee of The Silence of the Lambs. He was there alone.

This photo on Peter's IMDb is a summation of twenty years of our own Eldergays DataLounge tv obsessions and discussions all rolled into one. I was never jealous of Peter Barton....till now!

Pictured are: Peter Barton, Heather Locklear, Scott Baio, Morgan Fairchild, Meredith Baxter, Nancy McKeon, Mr. T, Lisa Eilbacher, Cynthia Sikes, John Beck, David Birney, Danielle Brisebois, Howard Cosell, Rachel Dennison, Tony Dorsett, John James, Audrey Landers, Denise Miller, William R. Moses, Tracy Nelson, Randi Oakes, Geoffrey Scott, Ted Shackelford, Betty Thomas, Bruce Weitz, Tom Wopat and Adrian Zmed in Battle of the Network Stars XIV

I think Peter too closely resembled a lost Osmond brother, and that's why he didn't go farther in his career.

OP, this happened a few years back but an old man - probably an eldergay - left his estate to Barton and another actor.

He'd never met them but he either picked them because he was fans of their TV shows....or he was fans of THEM.

Whoops! Missed that last sentence in your post, OP, I see you did mention that.

He was pretty, not handsome.

The epitome of a pretty boy.

Peter should be on the didn't quite make it thread.

[quote]According to Wiki, he inherited money from a male fan whom he never even met.

Not even that one time, in Pacoima?

I was too young to notice the Peter Barton/Leif Garrett/Shaun Cassidy type of guys.

Later, I did see him when he was on The Young and the Restless. He was blandly attractive, but his character was about as exciting as watching paint dry.

Ohmygawd! I would love to inherit money from a stranger! That would be cool, except for them being dead, of course.

his long thick dick was heaven....

How much did he inherit?

No worries, R3. I still very much appreciated your post.

By the way, I got the idea for this thread because MeTV just started showing reruns of "Matthew Star" early on Sunday mornings (I slept with my TV on this past Saturday night and woke up on it). It's the epitome of cheesy '70s TV.

Don't know how current this pic is but Peter is 63 now:

From his past Facebook posts, he's a Trumpster. Ugh.

Seriously, R14? If true, that's disappointing.

R15 Yes, it's unfortunately true.

No one sane supports Trump.

It’s as simple as that, no?

He was severely burned on the set of that show. I think it shut down for a year for him to heal.

Well, that sucks, R16. Thanks for the info.

Always the d listers trumping.

So much for this thread.

The forgettables - Peter Barton and Chachi.

R20, they’re the only ones open about it because they have nothing to lose.

I bet half the A listers doing the casket dance over George Floyd this past week voted for Trump.

He hasn't worked in quite a few years. How does he earn a living? The amount of money he inherited from that old guy doesn't seem to be enough to sustain one for many years.

What happened to his The Young and the Restless character?

[quote]What happened to his The Young and the Restless character?

Apparently he grew old and complacent.

[quote]What happened to his The Young and the Restless character?

He married Ken Olandt's character. They manage an apartment complex in the West Valley.

So disappointed to learn he's a Trump supporter. Ugh.

Never found him good looking. Like a skeletal Donny Osmond.

He pees in the shower.

So is gay or straight? Can't really find anything on the Internet about his personal life. And if he is gay and a Trump supporter, that's even sadder.

[quote] And if he is gay and a Trump supporter, that's even sadder.

Why would you say such a thing?

He always seemed gay.

How do we know that's him in R16's link?

I came across this blog on a Burt Ward thread and fell into a rabbit hole reading it. It is the adventures of the blogger and also stories submitted by readers.

One reader, a makeup artist, submitted a story that involved Tony Danza, Georgie Cloon, Peter Barton and Erich Anderson (Friday The 13th, thirtysomething). FWIW here's the summary:

Makeup artist guy worked on short lived sitcom in early 90s starring Tony and George, Tony and George became VeryClose. Then they had a falling out and quit speaking to each other. Then George became close with Erich who was a guest on one episode. Makeupartist guy then dated Erich for a short while.

After Erich, Makeup Artist guy starts dating Peter Barton and brings him to set and introduces him to George. Makeupartist guy invites George to join them on one of their dates, George tags along and pays for dinner and goes back to their apartment with them. George asks them both for blowjobs, Peter declines and retreats to bedroom. Makeupartist guy starts to fondle George, changes his mind before anything happens and sends George on his way. Poor George, paid for dinner and got nothing, lol. George was married to that woman from Mad Men at the time.

I guess this is more a story about George than anyone else but Peter Barton is in the mix!

I love all the FRIDAY THE 13TH alumni and Peter Barton was hot.

But I guess Trumpers will have to go to the back of the line.

Peter is a single father of a daughter.

His character on Y&R, Scott Grainger, was killed off.

It's him and from his Facebook page (under Peter Thomas Barton). He's not a big poster on there, but has posted a few pro Trump anti Dems things along with the MAGA hat photo though.

i had a crush on him during the Matthew Star series. I was a kid then

Inherited money from a fan, huh.

I am watching Matthew Star on ME-TV. It sucks. Peter is no Chris Atkins!

Whoever captioned this picture was extremely lazy. They misidentified Billy Moses. Which is really shameful, considering he was a really great athlete and always did well. They labeled former NFLer Tony Dorsett (bulging on the end of the 3rd row), Adrian Zmed, Tracy Nelson and a couple of others as “unidentified.”
