    John Stamos is hot and will always be hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hide show

    I love John Stamos. John is like a good wine, he just gets better with age. I really love is tv movie from 1990 call "Born to Ride". John also does the best and the most respectful impersonation of Elvis Presley of all time. He also has a gorgeous singing voice and he is also such a great actor. It also doesn't hurt anything that he is a part-time drummer for my fave non-christian group The Beach Boys. I really love it when he says "Have Mercy". I sure hope that he finds another woman and becomes a father because I know that would be some beautiful babies.

    wow! he is the hottest man alive! i always told myself i would marry him one day. hahaha. hide show

    if i ever met John Stamos, i think i would either cry or just wrestle him for his autograph. he was the hottest man when he was plating jesse on full house and he still doesnt look bad either. i watch every show he is interviewed on and people call me his stalker. i know when his birthday is, his first shows, when he was married. what can i say, i am in love with him!!! he played at our park concert two years ago, and he left right after so i never got the chance to meet him. i go to his high school, cypress, and i always say, "this is where john stood" i know. what a nerd, right? but he's my idol and i love him!

    He's okay but isn't great. hide show

    I mean i like his character on full house which was jessie.
    Other than that show i never seen him on any thing else and really didn't interest me. He's cute but i think is over rated on his looks. He kinda seems like a player and ain't he kinda old to be like that. Every now and then you see him in the audience of a award shows. Haven't seen him in any movies and may he has been in some but just had a bad reating or some thing. All in all he is an above average actor.

    3.9 Bad
    One-dimensional. hide show

    John Stamos' role in ER is well over his head. The Pratt character was much like Stamos' Gates character. However, the actor portrayiing Pratt was able to provide his character with depth and soulful charisma. Stamos lacks the ability to broaden his character or illicit a reason for the viewer to invest interest in Gates. As badly as the character is written, a talented actor can still derive meaning and some sort of virtue to his interpretation. Stamos is relying too much on his sex appeal rather than talent to advance this character. As for me, I think he lacks both talent and sex appeal. Drama is not the appropriate genre for Stamos. He should go back to sitcoms. There is a reason why his shows after Full House have not done well. He can't seem to grow out of his Uncle Jesse role.
