I don't think that Dennis is really bothered by not receiving as many fan mails as Igor does (not to mention I doubt it's true... ). His remarks are usually really snarky and not to be taken seriously, especially since I recall him saying (in the interview with Sprechplanet) that he's so not interested whether people find him attractive or not but that he loves to read what fans think as far as plots are concerned. So I take it more as a bit of a sarcastic reaction to the topic like "Yeah, whatever.. Let's talk about something more relevant." I believe people with self-esteem issues come across entirely different. Also, yes I think he IS sarcastic as well (love his snark!!) but I don't think that's necessarily a sign of being hurt or disappointed. I'm sarcastic most of the time as well and I'm not feeling hurt, at least not that I'm aware of. ;D Guess it's more of a character trait in most cases, but I'm not a psychologist. Btw EKP, do you plan to do a subbed version of this? Otherwise I might just try to do a quick translation, because it's a nice interview... Just let me know.

I don't think he has any crush on him. He has more than once said that they are good friends and hang out together outside of work as well. And sometimes with both their partners as well. I really think you shouldn't read that much in their interactions at all. They've worked together for quite some time now and they know each other very well because of that. That's all. (Comments like these can sometimes start living a life of their own, so it may be best not to hint at stuff like that. ) And Dennis can be very sarcastic yes. ;D Which I personally like a lot. It's very refreshing to hear someone actually speak his mind. I don't think he's an easy person to work with (he even admitted so himself), but in the end he does want to be good at his job and he is. It's just part of who he is.

Thank you, placebo and amber! It is good to read other points of view. I am feeling much better now!

Perhaps I am overinterpreting or overanalysing the whole situation but I have the feeling that Dennis has a little crush on Igor in real life. I think Dennis adores Igor very much and does not think highly of himself perhaps because he does not receive a lot of fan mail from men. Igor seems to be more adored among gay men than Dennis and that seems to bother him. Sometimes I notice some sarcasm in his words and I wonder where that comes from? In my experience sarcastic people are often hurt or disappointed. I really hope that I am wrong! What do you think? Please give me your thoughts. Well, I don´t think Dennis have any self-esteem issues but as for that crush think... it´s hard NOT to have a little crush on Igor,right? He is completely adorable. So in my opinion, even if he would have a tiny little crush going (and I´m not saying he has!) it wouldn´t be a tragedy, right? I mean a strictly platonic thing, of course and I would never want to know and would never ask him about it, of course. It´s his personall matter. Honestly who doesn´t have a little think for someone even if he is in completely satisfied relationship. Everyone is allowed to have some private fantasy, right?

In another interview,Dennis talks about how his husband Brent wants to adopt Igor. That's how close everyone is. The other interview Dennis gave was over the radio and he said that he feels very close to Igor and that's one of the reasons Igor can touch him like he does.

Some of this discussions seems to be verging on RPS. Let's be careful about that.

Some of this discussions seems to be verging on RPS. Let's be careful about that. And that´s not allowed? Just to be clear on that, cause even if I´m not interested in AWZ RPS I would like to know if that kinda thing is not good here. Wouldn´t want to break any rules and be banned from this wonderful web.

I don't know what "RPS" is but all this making up stuff about what Dennis G 's "self esteem" and what he secretly thinks and believes and how he feels about himself seems beyond inappropriate to me and really not fair to the actor.
Unless you personally know him, you don't actually know anything about his private, intimate feelings about anything that he hasn't personally addressed explicitly.
Dennis and Igor are professionals who have been interviewed hundreds of times, they know what they are doing.
You cannot psychoanalyze a person by watching a video of them on a chat show. Seriously, WTF? I just think it's really rude and not really the point of the thread. Sorry to be so cranky but it's an ugly slippery slope.
The only thing we actually KNOW for a FACT based upon what Dennis has SAID in interviews is that he is happily married (and to a beautiful man in my opinion) and that he and his husband and Igor and his girlfriend all get along famously.
Dennis and Igor's personal life is none of our business unless they care to share and I don't recall them revealing any of the stuff folks are making up.

Wouldn´t want to break any rules and be banned from this wonderful web. It is definitely against the rules: gaydaytime.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=15RPS is defined here: www.fanhistory.com/wiki/Real_Person_Slash_%28RPS%29I'm not entirely sure that the use of the term RPS on this board to describe what is being discussed here is entirely accurate, as the term usually applies only to fanfiction stories in the strictest sense, but the spirit of the idea certainly applies in all discussions on this board, I guess, based on the mod slap downs I've seen about any hint toward the concept on any of the various show boards on this site. What does all this mean? Well, to sum up: the mods here seem really intent about making sure that no one even suggest or hint that actors might actually like each other as anything other than friends or acting partners. They consider it completely against the rules.

They consider it completely against the rules.Pretty much. Out of respect to the actors we prefer that stuff not to be posted on here. I know there is a market for RPS but the forum is not the place for it. The mods generally lump anything that conveys the actors getting it on in real life unless it is established fact (like the actors playing Olivia & Sebastian on VL who are together in real life would be ok to talk about though not write fanfic about even though it likely wouldn't be a big draw on this forum anyhow ) as RPS even if it's not truly fanfic but pure speculation because eventually the speculation goes places that might as well be fanfic. Talk about the characters doing things to each other in the fanfic areas or discussion threads but let's keep the actors taking the onscreen offscreen out of it. I am not saying don't talk about it ever - though I am admittedly not a fan of RPS - just don't talk about it on this forum. And now back to the wonderful Dennis Grabosch...

Here's the subbed version of the interview to get back on topic, then (FYI, we've edited out the unrelated news items, which is why there are funny jumps in topic at times.)

Thanks for info, good to know. Like I said, it´s not interesting topic for me, but I wouldn´t want to accidentaly break rules by some comment. And karamadium... I agree, talking about actor´s private life always border on innapropriate.

Aldi, thank you so much for the subbed interview! (I was having a blast watching them interact but just dying for a translation). They are both so full of life and animated that it was fantastic to know what they were talking about. Danke!!

I do not want to start the last discussion again but I really would like to write a little final comment to that because I think it was all my fault. I apologize to you for having written about personal matters of the actor DG. I was misinterpreting the things I have seen in the interview. It was never my intention to break the forum rules or to annoy anyone. Especially not DG! I think my admiration (and secret love ) for him is too much at the moment and I was overshooting. I want to give him all the respect he deserves. I care for him very much and this was the reason why I worried about some things that should not concern me. Sorry!
