Heh, it's one of those blind items again ...
Got this off an email:

"This television guy is both a familiar name and familiar face. He's been involved in many high-profile appearances, and is currently part of a television ensemble. It may come as a surprise to you that he drinks. Not just an after-work cocktail, mind you, but a beers-for-breakfast kind of drinker. He always comes to work prepared, but – depending on how many beers he has had – sometimes slurs his lines so badly or races through his lines so fast that he needs additional takes. Oh, and sometimes his scenes have to be re-blocked so that he is sitting down rather than standing up, because he sways too much. We haven't heard of him doing any high-profile stints in rehab, but we do wonder what's taking him so long."

The sender of said email (who has asked to remain anonymous and I'm respecting their wishes) says, "Doesn't Carmine Giovinazzo often slur his lines or sound unintelligible? He also tends to noticeably sway when he's standing in a scene, and is often the guy sitting down in a group scene. I heard also that he wanders around during filming. It holds up work and everyone has to wait for him just to resume filming. Doesn't sound like he's all there."

Well, blind items are usually so vague they can pretty much refer to any number of actors in Hollywood. Even with the clue 'currently part of a television ensemble', it could still mean anyone. And uhm, in this case I'm glad to say it, I don't think Carmine is anywhere close to being a familiar name/face in comparison to other actors on other much more popular shows. And also, has he ever had any high-profile appearances? And uh, I've yet to ever hear about him being in any sort of rehab ... but then again, I am so out of the fandom, I dunno anything going on anyway.

If it's somebody from CSI:NY (which I doubt), the first few clues seem to fit Gary Sinise more! :P
