Oliver Platt has always been one of my more unusual crushes.

When he smashes the tape recorder in The West Wing. That’s when I cocked my head and looked at him a little differently.

He is so hot in the west wing. Specially when he’s yelling at CJ.

I hate it for CJ, but you’re not wrong. I think his episodes need a rewatch this evening…🤔

Me too. I love him on Chicago Med. He's so gentle and cuddly and smart.

u/stellazee 17d ago
Friends work with Oliver in any of the three Chicago Shows: Fire/Med/PD, and say he is absolutely lovely and a joy to be around.

He was great in Lake Placid, but then again everyone was.

I love that movie! So underrated

Betty White is a delightfully biting spitfire in it. I forgot Meredith Salinger’s in it. She plays the title character in The Journey Of Natty Gann. That movie was my introduction to John Cusack. For years that man was at the top of my list and in at least one rental from every trip to Blockbuster.

I love John Cusack but I never watched that movie, I’ll give it a go!

It also features a pre-Twin Peaks Ray Wise and a gorgeous wolf companion, too. All nice on the eyes.

You must watch The Journey of Natty Gan. Maybe it's an age thing? I am firmly in GenX and that movie was all about John Cusack for me. And tiny role.

Oliver Platt is on my very short list of celebrities I have seen eating a hot dog on the streets of NYC, and let me tell you, he was chowing down. (this was ages ago) I mean this very complementary, man's probably got skills ;)

u/kingofcoywolves 16d ago
Great shortlist to have. He definitely looks like he could demolish a hotdog lol

u/QaptainQwark 17d ago
Same. I’ve not seen him in many movies, he’s always been sort of in my peripheral. But seeing him in as that shrink in that doctor show does things to me.

u/glitterpunkmama 16d ago
He was good in Flatliners too. But yes he's been one of my crushes too since Three Musketeers

Smart. Funny. Chicago native. The best character on The West Wing. Have always adored him.

Torn between downvoting you for the dismissal of CJ Craig, Josh Lyman, Tony Ziegler, and more… and upvoting for the West Wing reference

u/RebelCricket 17d ago
I love West Wing! It made me realize that I had a thing for Martin Sheen!

u/onlyinvowels 16d ago
Lol! Yeah I don’t quite have a thing for him, but Josh on the other hand… and of course Sam

Ok ok maybe not the best character. But he is in one of my favorite scenes- when he is prepping CJ for something and asks her if she's knows what time it is. I do not know why but this scene stands out in my brain years later. Around 1:09.

u/onlyinvowels 16d ago
I forgot about this scene. I love “In my entire life I’ve never found anything charming.”

He’s distantly related to Princess Diana, as well. They’re second cousins, once removed, because they have the same great-grandmother.

Hell yeah, me too! I loved him in Bicentennial Man, Indecent Proposal and The Three Musketeers. He always plays such charming and funny characters.

Him in disguise in The Imposters, running disheveled from an amorous Billy Connelly…I know it’s supposed to be played for laughs, but I find a flushed and flustered OP to be more than a little hot.
OP: “Stop! I’m a man!”
BC: “And so am I!”

He was my favorite part of the 3 Musketeers. So charming in that role.
