David Burns was my first “celebrity” crush who was not a real celebrity.
In the summer of 1998, as I teetered between middle and high school,premiered and there was David with his slicked-back hair, weathered leather jacket, and multi-colored eyes . He had a penchant for black turtlenecks, which softened his raised-fist, tough guy veneer.
here I am, a professional journalist, and an alleged adult, looking to exploit my job in the interest of realizing a teenage dream. I just wasn’t aware of the cause and effect. It was 1998. I didn’t have any ambitions to go on reality TV. I had studied abroad four times before that. In my mind, this would be another cool adventure with cameras around. But in those times, I literally couldn’t walk the streets without being physically mobbed.
They saw a kid with two different color eyes from a housing project in inner-city Boston that’s going to school at an old military institution on a tennis scholarship and he sounds like a fucking Irish gangster. You gotta cast him. It was a no-brainer for them.Advertisement
