I'm not sure how you narrowed it down to that one guy, but hopefully the logic works!! :D

Yeah, I can't even picture someone in that career going on this show, because of how much time you would be away from it.

Am I seeing things or is that magic guy in a commercial for the HP Windows 8 thing?

Ohhhhhh gosh, sophie. Alek is adorable in person. I saw him perform in Atlanta a couple of years ago and he's incredibly talented. Love him!!!

He's quite an up and comer in the opera world, though. He sang two roles with the Metropolitan Opera this season and just performed at Carnegie Hall last week. I'd be super super surprised if he takes off of his career to do TB, but if he does, I would watch every second!!

ETA: Not sure, but I think Alek is married. Was he one of the ones you were saying was married, sophie?

I couldnt figure if he was married! I couldnt find engagements in next few months, but I havent looked long!

this guy could be a contestant, but he is 38...

I don't think he really on twitter right. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and I don't think he didn't on show.

I think I found he has a twitter as well. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and on really here like 24 hours ago.

It doesn't say he's married on his twitter. Not that means anything, but I don't think he's on the show.

by alwaystulips Sun Mar 10, 2013 10:19 am

Yep, he's married. Oh well, even though I didn't think he'd be on, it was a nice daydream giggling

At 1:00 in this clip, there's a question about his wife, a fellow singer.

Awww! Sorry to have a singer you like not on! That would have been cool, if that happened.

Got a call to come to the casting call for the next "Bachelor"

What? Third place would be ideal?! LOL Whoa. I hope he's cut the first night!

by california90 Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:50 pm

^ Lol seriously! Sounds like someone just wants to make it to top 4 and hopefully become the next Bachelor instead!

There are quite a few viewing spots along Mulholland and this bench is a bit different along with downtown LA being at a different angle. The paths up in the hills go on for a few miles, so it could be close or not.
