He looked familiar to me in Forty Shades of Blue but I couldn't place himI never would have guessed that was Ed from NE!! Awesome movie too, I was mesmerized.

Yeah, I'd love to know why he hasn't acted more too. It seems like he's acting a lot more lately though, maybe since his kids are getting older he has a lot more free time on his hands. I didn't think the reason he wasn't acting was because he couldn't get work, I thought it was cause he just didn't want to act anymore. I've seen a few of his films- Never Get Outta the Boat, Hi-Lo Countryb68, Class of 1999, Cry Baby- and he wasn't nearly as good of an actor in those films as he was in "Northern Exposure". I thought maybe one of the reasons he stopped acting is cause he didn't feel inspired by a lot of the roles he came across or was offered, and therefore felt like he wouldn't be able to give good performances. I don't know, but it's hard to believe that the reason he hasn't acted much since NX is, like some people have said, because he wanted to be a stay at home dad.
