Brian Bloom at 50

Whoops, Meloni is on the right in the gif.

And what, of note, has he done since?

He's a shitty actor from a soap, and he has a nice ass. Dime a dozen. This isn't one of those sites where straight women agree with you like you're one of them.

GO AWAY

I had a real crush on him when he was younger. I always wondered why he didn't branch out more. Very handsome.

Those two need to fuck!

Fuck yourself with a rusty tetanus covered pipe, R2.

Brian is HOT, and that is all he EVER needs to be.

He was such a cute thing on ATWT, a long time ago.

I would eat both of those asses for hours.

I remember this guy competing on Star 🌟 Search with Ed McMahon many years ago. Too bad he didn't enjoy more success.

From his Playgirl shoot. He didn’t do nudity other than being shirtless.

On OZ, wasn't it Meloni who grabbed Bloom by the head as Bloom was on his knees sucking Meloni's cock, and broke his freakin' neck?

R10, yes indeed. I rewatched the series right after the quarantine started, and was disappointed his arc wasn't longer. He and Keller (Meloni) were old friends, so of course Keller fucked him over.

Mmm hmm, meaty!

Many lovely photos of Mr. Bloom on the Interwebz.

He was always beautiful.

So serious question...has he ever been linked with dating anyone, male or female?

He was beautiful.

R15 I think he dated Alyssa Milano when he was on ATWT or maybe just after he left. Interesting that he hasn't married or been linked to anyone. He's quite the successful businessman though; In 1997, Bloom developed and ran a .com hub known as AnimalWorldNetwork.com. The website was an outpost for pet products, information, video content and celebrity pet lifestyle coverage, selling and shipping fair-trade, organic and holistic pet supplies with both brick and mortar locations and a robust online presence.

Bloom sold the domain and business in 2007 for an undisclosed [b]eight-figure[/b] deal.

He lives in Studio CIty, quiet life, still just as handsome, not sure if he has a long term boyfriend but he is def gay.

He sounds like one of those celebrities who is more interested in maintaining his privacy than pursuing the limelight at any cost, as so many in Hollywood are want to do. If true, that says a lot about him. Mainly that he's got his head screwed on right.

Other DL reports here have said he definitely had a longterm boyfriend in the last ten years.

Alyssa Milano? PR "relationship."

INSANELY cute and sexy back in the day!!!

It wouldn’t be a proper Brian Bloom thread without this pic.

The eyes are a bit much

So sexy.

When I first saw Brian in "Once Upon a Time in America" I could not believe a human could have eyes like his.

Brother Scott.

[quote]The eyes are a bit much

Sez who?

Dark hair light eyes will get me every time

He does a lot of voice acting on video games, animation, and audiobooks. This was two-years ago.

He was insanely hot in his 1994 BANDIT TV-movies!

beautiful....

He dated Allison Smith when she was working on Kate and Allie. They used to appear together in those teen magazines all the time back in the day.

Head scarf? Is he bald? Not that it's a turnoff.

His hair is pretty thin but not gone, Insanely hot body hair though and those eyes. He makes really good money voice acting and yes all the relationships were all PR hook ups. He was raised in the Doug Marland years of ATWT where the gay men had to be straight or P&G would not hire them, Proctor and Gamble,

I know nothing about him (and haven't seen him in years) but would be willing to bet he's gay and all of his past "relationships" with actresses were just for PR sake.

R18 I think he lives in a quiet area of Encino, not Studio City. Still off the beaten path, and definitely private.

His brother Scott starred in the cult classic The Stuff...a film about killer yogurt but I don't think I've seen him in anything since or at least I didn't recognize him.

OP that is not a picture of him "at 50."

Yes, I know R38, but I like it. 😀

This is a confirmed photo of him 4 years ago. I'm still looking for a confirmed photo more recent.

Meanwhile, enjoy the magnificence of his earlier years here.

When I was a gayling and just discovering my sensuality, he's the exact type I spent the most time jacking it to.

It appears that as of 2016 he made a concerted effort of leave the limelight. So far I can find no confirmed images of him post 2016.

Per his IMDb page he has done nothing but voice work since 2013.

Did Deborah ‘Debbie’ Gibson write Lost In Your Eyes about him or am I hallucinating?

Brian Bloom was literally one of the most beautiful people I had ever seen on TV or movies.

Why did his career stall

I guess it's possible he stalled it himself in favor of a career (voice work) that afforded him good money without having to deal with all the show business BS.

Brian who?

Sizemeat verificatia?

I remember watching him in Bandit and it appeared that he either had shoulder and/or back hair that wasn't shaved or waxed. I remember being so happy as a young hairy cub that someone in Hollywood recognized body hair wasn't ugly.

I'll forgive the hair removal for the scene from Oz as we got his beefy cheeks and the image of him starting to give a BJ.

If he sold his .com biz for 8 figures, Ithink he is doing OK not being an actor ...

[quote]It appears that as of 2016 he made a concerted effort of leave the limelight. So far I can find no confirmed images of him post 2016.

Maybe he's transitioning.

I think it's more likely he got tired of having to do all the work required to maintain camera ready beauty. I'm sure it's hard work for most good looking entertainers to keep themselves in tip top condition. How many we've seen over the years after their careers have wound down and they resurface years later looking almost unrecognizable.

He was one of the terrorists in that Achille Lauro TV movie. Then his career totally died.

If he came out, Ryan would hire him for one of his shows.

R40, that's a good pic. He still looks cute.

Brian and Allison

Brian Bloom has a nice nest egg thanks to As The World Turns - he banked much of the money he made and invested wisely. So now he works only when he wants to - and when he quit the show, that was what he wanted to do

Not take a job, just for the sake of a pay check. In fact he omitted his Emmy win and all his soap work OFF his resume and headshot - because he didn't to be known as a "soap actor"

So when he hit Hollywood, he started from square one.

It's hard to believe that Martha Byrne's "Lily" got all those hot guys after her character...Brian Bloom, Jon Hensley, Paolo Seganti .

The Bloom is still on the rose, based on R40’s pic.

TOTALLY my type with the dark hair and light eye combination! i'm such a sucker for contrast of hair color and eye color (blond hair and blue eyes as well)....

his body back in his prime reminds me of ultimate hairy body stud shawn christian! (MAJOR SIGH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)....

Brian Bloom 2 years ago doing a reading

ATWT approached him to return at least twice: in 1997 - but after he turned them down they contacted Jon Hensley to return and again in 2003 - after which they recast the role with Grayson McCouch.

R63 Interesting behind-the-scenes info. Thanks!

Bloom is not a fan of doing soap work, he did it, he is grateful for the experience, but he doesn't want to do it again

That is what he tells the soap mags everytime they do a "WEHT Brian Bloom"

OMG look at this picture!

WHET Brian Buzzini?

R62, I can see how he does so well at voice voiceover work...he has that voice downpat. But the scarf...eek.

This is a more RECENT picture from two years ago this June

I always get him confused with Brian Bonsall. Not because they look alike, just their alliterative names and downward fame trajectory.

Time marches on even for the best of them...

bloom

Brian Bloom (born June 30, 1970); Merrick, New York

So he's confirmed gay?

Considering most of his work has been voiceover work, he has a comfortable living off those royalty checks as he has voiced TONS of stuff

So it just all accumulates into a nice big royalty check every month, as his voice work over over multiple shows gets repeated ad nasuem

His former squeeze from 'Kate & Allie,' Allison Smith , at 50.

She also appeared as Molly McGann in the 2020 final season of 'Will & Grace.'

Damn he has a beautiful sexy voice.

[quote] Brian Bloom has a nice nest egg thanks to As The World Turns - he banked much of the money he made and invested wisely.

You checked his bank balance?

He looks pretty fantastic in every photo posted so far, regardless of the age. Always liked him. His eyes are definitely still the most striking ones I've seen. The only other person in the running is Meg Foster.

I love all that hair.

Lily only had eyes for Holden.

"Holden! HOLDEN! Holden!

"Monica Lawrence is mounted and ready to ride."

I can't believe they got that line on the air.

7:32

I don't think he really wants to do on camera work.

Craig Ferguson is another one who seems to have decided to pretty much give up on air performing and make a living doing voice work.

I bet he has a moist, hairy, inviting anus.

[quote] Brian Bloom has a nice nest egg thanks to As The World Turns - he banked much of the money he made and invested wisely.

[quote] You checked his bank balance?

he has said this in many of the WEHT Brian Bloom interview with the soap press, saying he only works when he wants to thanks to smart investments made with his ATWT savings. I think his father, or maybe it was his older brother is someone in finance and very early on, they kept the money in a trust and managed it wisely. So when he turned 18, he already had a nice nest egg.

I dare say selling his .com for millions netted him more money than his earnings from a soap opera.

R87 for sure

The Bloom Boys are from Long Island like the Baldwin Boys.

Brian Bloom gay?

No way!

What year was this taken?

I used to do extra work on ATWT years ago. I was even on the jury for Bloom's character's trial. He was okay looking back then, but still a kid. On the other hand, Jon Hensley was jaw droppingly beautiful in person back then.

He still looks great now, and natural.

Hensley looked too fake in later years, pretty sure he had work done.

Hensley was beautiful back in the day, but IMO he didn't then nor does he now come up to Bloom's level of beauty.

[quote] Brian Bloom gay? No way!

Honey it was the 80's, even the straightest of straight boys looked gay.

Girlfriend has same address in Encino.

I'd still lick his balls.

Tiger/wolf eyes are such a turn-on.

What does Jon Hensley look like now?

Hensley looks OK but a little ragged around the edges. He's 55 or so though, not bad.

[quote] I used to do extra work on ATWT years ago. I was even on the jury for Bloom's character's trial.

Dusty was never on trial - I think you are mistaking him for Andrew Kavovit

[quote] Hensley looks OK but a little ragged around the edges. He's 55 or so though, not bad.

And he's single!!!

[quote]And he's single!!!

And poor!

I assume (with the ever present bandana) he must be completely bald on top now and not want people to see it. I don't know why. Bald men are sexy as hell, especially the ones with dark hair on the sides who let their sideburns grow a little long and with some facial hair. The bald top just shows they've got a lot of extra testosterone.

But his face is still as gorgeous as ever. He seems, at least from the outside looking in, like a very normal down to earth man enjoying life.

Considering that Bloom is out of the limelight these days I think the fact that he has a girlfriend indicates that he is not gay. What reason would he have at this point to put up a straight front? Nah, ain't buyin' it.

[quote] I think he lives in a quiet area of Encino, not Studio City. Still off the beaten path, and definitely private.

Yes. It's in Encino, and the only thing visible from the street is a very long, gated driveway with it being something of a private enclave that sits above and between two homes that are on street. This was reported in local real estate news when it happened some nine years ago.

Love his home.

And you might spot him and the long-term gf at one of the local Canyonback trails mountainbiking.

Their home is really nice. I love it too,, R110. Just my style.

I bet he's packing

And obviously he doesn't have the whole stanksleeve issue to deal with. One more thing that makes him a winner!

I don't know.

Nice, but looks rather compact.

If he was uncut I would slip my tongue in that foreskin so quick!

[quote] If he was uncut I would slip my tongue in that foreskin so quick!

That’s disgusting.

R118 mmmm.....Brian tastes amazing down there....mmmmmm

R117 is probably a lover of limburger and souse meat.

R120 is the very height of prisspottery

He has those weird eyes that make him look like a Muppet.

R121 has constant dick breath.

R93 That photo was taken in 2013, as part of a podcast feature.

R105 That storyline, where Paul "kills" his father James Stenbeck, won Andrew Kavovit a Daytime Emmy Award for Best Young Actor. Only two actors from ATWT won that award, Brian Bloom being the other one (and the very first winner of this award when it had first started). Jon Hensley, Scott deFreitas and other ATWT "young" actors were also nominated (even Jason Biggs!!) in that category but never won.

I missed Scott DeFreitas’ Andy and always hoped he’d have returned to the show one day.

He looks like Clark Gregg (with darker hair) in that picture at R124.

Bloom's scene in ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA in which he surreptitiously eats a charlotte russe meant for his inamorata is one of the loveliest, most tender, yet hilariously played moments by a young actor I have ever seen.

I am disappointed that Brian is a pussy muncher, but I like the fact that he's a chill dude, living the easy life from his dot com millions, spends his days mountain biking and doing the occasional voice over gig.

ug. I'd love to be a millionaire and just live off interest.

those were some good investments; Brian was only on ATWt for 4 years? Maybe more?

84 to 88?

He was a baby when he won Younger Actor.

Doug puts his eggs in Holden's basket; I think Brian did okay work, but nothing fantastic.

[quote] Doug puts his eggs in Holden's basket

I'm sure Holden's eggs were in or on Doug's basket, metaphorically or literally, at some point as well!

Is he a Jewish?

Hmm, he was in a Cold Case episode. Will have to seek that one out.

R131, I walked into that one.

Not the best actor, but Holden was smoldering in 1986.

My favorite was Lily's having a nightmare (one of those classic fantasy scenes that was just hilarious where the whole world's against her);she wakes up horrified; and Holden's there. His hand over her mouth to keep her quiet as it was the middle of the night.

He says she was screaming out his name; she denies it, but probably was as she was asleep.

Wow, what a disappointing turn this thread took. Went from “def gay” to “here are several pictures from his current quiet life with his live-in girlfriend.”

BORING!

He and his eyes still look great, though, and good for him for making bank when he did.

At least we still have Hart Bochner.

Here's the Emmy broadcast where Brian won his award.

Thank you for uploading Brian’s Emmy win, R137. His award is at the 25:00 mark.

Interesting to see how young everyone was! Also, who wore AIDS ribbons (Terry Lester) and who didn’t (Deidre Hall). It was 1985 so AIDS had been around a couple of years.

[quote] Is he a Jewish?

Yes.

I like all that body hair. I just hope that, you know, there are no dingleberries.

[quote]At least we still have Hart Bochner.

Wait - Hart Bochner is gay?

[quote] Wait - Hart Bochner is gay?

I hope you're not shocked to learn that Rock Hudson was also gay.

Sorry but comparing Hudson to Hart Bochner is more than a bit silly

r139

He can't be, because even good looking Jews turn dumpy and ugly by 40

Bloom beat Stephen Caffrey, Fuzzy from Longtime Companion!

r137

that is one fuckable group of nominees

That certainly was R146.

And Terry Lester looked great there.

Yes R144 most handsome young Jewish men do seem to lose their looks and go bald around early middle age, but there are always the exceptions. And Brian Bloom is very definitely one of those exceptions. Bloom has lost a lot of his hair, but he hasn't lost his looks at all.

In the 2018 video at R29, his eye color looks quite different in the close up shots.

SCM's Brodrick is the spitting image of him. He has the same build, same nice eyes, same masculine energy, and same hair. There is a car jerk off scene that is much hotter, but it's on PH and DL keeps being a bitch about those links.

Final interruption for SCM's Brodrick, the poor man's (big dicked) Brian Bloom.

Thanks for posting that, R137. Gosh, I so miss those days. The soaps, the awards shows... everything.

He was good as Alison's partying boyfriend on Melrose Place. Particularly this scene:

I was jealous when he was dating the ugly daughter from Kate and Allie.

Robby Benson (64) is another Jewish actor who has aged beautifully:

How is SCM's Brodrick "the spitting image" of Brian Bloom? On a scale of 1 -10 on how much he looks like Bloom I judge him to be -350.

Jeff Goldblum is 67 and I think he looks amazing.

Lets try that again...

Paul Rudd is 51

R144 is an antisemite

Though it is funny that I have heard "Hot guys from ETHNIC GROUP X do not age well" on DL about pretty much every European ethnicity.

Adam Levine is 41 and also seems to have avoided R144s curse

Is the Bloom off of Brian's rose(bud)?

That's R161 folks. He's here all week!

Let's give a a great big Datalounge sendoff for R161!!!!!!

Brian gives good head!

R152 You're welcome. These years were the start of the resurgence of As the World Turns, thanks to head writer Douglas Marland. A number of actors won Emmys - Bloom, Larry Bryggman, Martha Byrne, Gregg Marx, John Wesley Shipp, Andrew Kavovit, Julianne Moore - during the Marland era. And even more were nominated - how Elizabeth Hubbard never won once for playing Lucinda Walsh is anyone's guess.

The '85 Emmys showcased some great stuff from other soaps, too.

Another ATWT episode from 1987, the one where Lily found out Iva and Josh were her real parents. Dustin shows about at the 38:39 mark (he fidgets with his rings, which I always found strange).

Yes, R165. Darnell is adorable when he wins. And this ATWT fanatic can't even be mad about it, seeing as Bryggman won the year before, LOL.

[quote] On OZ, wasn't it Meloni who grabbed Bloom by the head as Bloom was on his knees sucking Meloni's cock, and broke his freakin' neck?

Not a bad way to go, I must say.

[quote] On OZ, wasn't it Meloni who grabbed Bloom by the head as Bloom was on his knees sucking Meloni's cock, and broke his freakin' neck?

Yes.

He’s still hot.

[quote] On OZ, wasn't it Meloni who grabbed Bloom by the head as Bloom was on his knees sucking Meloni's cock, and broke his freakin' neck?....

How did Dr. Oz's audience react?

SO FUCKING handsome

Get back in the casket, Larry at R171

He was great on ATWT

Just watched him in an old episode of Matlock. What a beautiful young man he was (and still is). Those eyes.

[quote]I would eat both of those asses for hours.

So would I, and I'm not even into that usually. Love to have my face buried in both of them, mmm.
