Actors & SKIN: Mitchell Anderson

Doogie Howser M.D

Beginning in the mid 80's with supporting roles on shows like Hill St. Blues, Riptide, Cagney & Lacy and 21 Jump St, it was inevitable that Anderson's beautiful face would find a home on TV. That home, and his most well known role was that of Dr. Jack McGuire on Doogie Howser M.D from 1989 through 1991. I remember distinctly being in my early teens and seeing Mitchell's face and falling instantly in lust. Mitchell's beautiful eyes and his angelic face drew in many fans, and inspired many crushes beyond just mine.


I believe Anderson only had one official nude scene on film, a bit of butt thrusting and some under the cover action in 1998's Relax...It's Just Sex. I couldn't find a great copy of the film, but when I do, I'll update with some better caps.


Although he wasn't naked in 1988's Deadly Dreams,  I think was shirtless or in a towel more than dressed. In some ways, Anderson's role in DD was the role usually inhabited by the female star. In addition to not wearing very much, his character was also vulnerable throughout, nervous and scared and constantly checking all his doors and windows.

Surprisingly, one of the roles in which he showed the most skin was his guest shot on Melrose Place. Anderson Rex, a male model hired for an underwear campaign. During his photo shoot, Jo (Daphne Zuniga) convinces Rex to drop the underwear to get some racier and more proactive shots. Although this part of the shoot wasn't shown on TV, they did show a few side butt shots from the shoot, surprisingly for a network show on Fox in the 90's.
