   DEREK, YOU ARE NOT ONLY THE HOTTEST LOOKING GUY IN THIS FREE WORLD WITH ALL YOUR RIPPLY MUSCLES BUT YOU APPEAR TO BE VERY INTELLIGENT AND KIND. I ACTUALLY SAW AN INTERVIEW WHERE TMZ INTERVIEWED YOU ON THE STREET AND YOU WERE SO DOWN TO EARTH AND KIND. IT WAS NICE TO SEE AN ACTOR THAT DIDN’T ACT LIKE AN A&&. ALL ACTORS AND ACTRESSES SHOULD REALIZE THAT THEIR FANS IS THE REASON THEY ARE FAMOUS AT ALL. I LOVE YOU AND I LOVE THE SHOW.
