It's always funny when crushes sneak up on you. It's even more interesting when the crush turns out to be someone you've been familiar with for years. I've enjoyed the work of Diedrich Bader for years. Although I can't say I was the biggest fan of
The Drew Carey Show, Diedrich was certainly the show's resident hottie.
I've enjoyed Diedrich's voice work, (he sounds especially sexy as Batman) his work in film and his many television appearances. Currently Diedrich starts on ABC's American Housewife, but it's show I had little interest in until last fall. I have to admit that I initially tuned in to check out actor Peyton Meyer. (above) I kept watching, and binge watching earlier season because of Diedrich.
American Housewife: Due Where's My Napkin (2017)
Katy Mixon is fantastic as Katie Otto, although if you binge more than a few episodes in a row, her character can be a bit much.... Diedrich balances her character, and the show out and the supporting characters are hilarious. In addition to Katy and Diedrich, the show has created three unique and interesting children for the couple to deal with and I could watch full episodes of Katie's second breakfast scenes with Ali Wong (Doris) and Carly Hughes. (Angela)
Diedrich's daddy Greg quickly won me over, especially after his drunken dance in a lesbian bar to Whitney Houston. Although Diedrich hasn't filmed what I'd call an official 'nude' scene, he has shared a bit of skin on screen. Check out a little more, and a hint of Bader butt in the
SKIN piece of this piece below.
