What no one ever seems to talk about is the importance of this issue as it relates to the effect content has on the actors and the actors' families. It's exhausting even trying to care anymore.

My husband and I both have a bit of a celebrity crush on Tennant. I, because he reminds me a lot of my husband; my husband, because he reminds him a lot of himself ;) My David doesn't have that effusive boyishness, it's more subdued. But the kind of awkward, anxiety-ladened, innocent enthusiasm and subsequent appeal seems similar. And so much of what Tennant says about being an actor makes me think of the kinds of things my David would say if asked those questions.

And of course, Tennant is a damn good actor...and not just as Dr. Who. I enjoyed him tremendously in everything I've seen him in.

I very much like David Tennant as an actor and I hope Single Father does well. But what I cannot tolerate in this piece is the insipid question "what was it like kissing..." WHY do reporters ALWAYS ask this question?! One of these days I'm going to write a comprehensive piece on what it's like being married to someone who often has in his job description to be in bed with or otherwise be intimate with other women. Just seeing that question in print makes me want to hurt someone. What's worse is that I have yet to hear an intelligent or even clever response from an actor. Maybe something like *blank stare* "so what exactly are you asking?"

or "really? that's the question you want to ask me right now? Are you sure you don't want to consult your notebook? perhaps something better is buried in there somewhere"

or maybe "well, it's sort of like swapping spit with a practical stranger in front of cameras and crew knowing that I get to later explain it to my wife and kids..otherwise it was delightful. What do you think it was like you dolt?"

*sigh*
