Last night, in the episode titled “I Want Your Sex” of ELI STONE, George Michael played himself. So how was he? Totally natural and believable (well, he was, after all, playing himself – duh!). It was a pleasure to watch and hopefully there will be more of GM in earthly form in the future. He definitely proved himself to be a reliable and consistent actor. Even if you had no idea who he was, you would not have known that he never did this before.Congratulations George on a job well done.
Greg Berlanti, the show’s creator, must be a really big GM fan because the show’s been incredibly generous to GM’s image. Seriously, GM couldn’t ask for a better vehicle for his career in America. The show is definitely re-introducing GM to America and last night’s episode casted GM in an especially complimentary light, portraying GM as a wise and benevolent human being just trying to lend helping hand to a teenager wrongfully expelled from school.
HIGHLIGHT: About midway through the program, a fantastic commercial came on advertising GM’s upcoming North American Tour. You can watch it at: http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=A0gbUqGLRN8
