Some readers might remember from some of my previous posts, that I occasionally catch old repeats of Murder She Wrote on one of my retro channels. My parents used to watch the show when I was younger and although I remember it, I was a little too young to really watch or enjoy it's original run.
Last week, I caught part of an episode from the show's nineth season. Early into the episode, titled Love's Deadly Desire, a hot dark, curly headed hunk appeared on-screen. I knew the face, but had to check IMDB to find the name. Many of you may already know who the actor is, but I needed a reminder the hottie was actor David Gail.
David was a fixture on television in the 90's and 2000's and I remember him vividly from his time as Brenda's almost husband, Stuart Carson on season 4 of Beverly Hills 90210. I should have known his handsome face right away. Although I didn't watch either show, many might also know Gail from his turns on the prime-time soap Savannah and the daytime soap Port Charles.
What I didn't know however, was that sadly Gail died earlier this year at just 58 years old. When I decided to post about Gail, I was shocked when I began to research and read about his death. Gail's career seemed to have stalled in the late 2010's, with his last acting role being in 2008. I remember him as a really good actor, with not only a great look and a handsome face, but also a really strong screen presence.

Sadly, we won't get to see all the roles he might have played had he not left us so early. Gail had one nude scene in a film that I've actually featured before. I'm a little sheepish to admit that I never realized it was Gail, or credited when I used clips in the past. I'm going to go back now and rectify that!
The caps were from the 2002 drama Bending All The Rules. I featured caps of the scene in posts spotlighting Gail's co-star Bradley Cooper. I was so focused on Cooper, and the two beautiful butts in the scene, I didn't pay enough attention to Cooper's co-star in the scene. I think in part it was Gail's shorter hair, but I still feel guilty for not crediting him until now. R.I.P Mr. Gail
An ambitious woman with an odd upbringing struggles to find herself amidst juggling two guys she's dating. Even though both guys know about each other and are complete opposites, jealousy begins to boil over as convivial antics break out between the two. Tough decisions will be made when growing up the hard way.
