Who Dat?


I have used 'Who Dat' as a post title before, usually when I stumble upon an images of a hot hunk, usually from the past, that I have not seen, or heard of before. I saved the image below awhile ago. The shot, a page from a teen magazine from the 70's featured Rex Smith, who I had heard of, Lance Kerwin, who I had seem images of, a third blonde beauty shirtless in his red shorts, talking on the phone.


That old inside phone, shot in an image taken outside, wasn't the only reason I used my photo viewer magnifier to find out who the blonde hottie was. The surfer looking dude was is actor Grant Wilson who the image credited to the film Foxes. A quick google search told me the 1980 film starred a young Jodie Foster and Scott Baio. I have seen most of Jodie's films, but knew next to nothing about Foxes.

Diff'rent Strokes (1980)

Despite an IMDB page, it was hard to find out much about Grant Wilson. Starting with a guest spot on Happy Days in 1979, and has a handful of credits through a turn on Hotel in 1987, Foxes being his only feature and his TV appearances (including; Chips, Facts of Life, The Jeffersons and Eight is Enough) were all guest shots. I will have to check out Foxes to see him 'at work' as his career was sadly very short.


There are a fare amount of shirtless shots listed on E-bay, but I didn't include them as they all had large watermarks on them. A few sites included a few recent shots that seem to indicate Wilson may have moved into singing and recording, but I couldn't find anything concrete. If anyone has any info, please send it on!
