He inherited it from Terry. Chris Fountain did this so well, looking dopey one second and noble the next. In other words, Chris was the perfect person to BE Tommy. Give him a break, accept his apologies, and get on with it. Fountain is no less creepy than many others, perhaps smarter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-20908278713271898772013-09-05T17:47:41.914+01:002013-09-05T17:47:41.914+01:00What difference does it make how they "exit&q...What difference does it make how they "exit" Tommy?

This actor is 25 years old-he is NOT a baby and is surely old enough by now to realize what is inappropriate, offensive and belittling to so many people. Hiding behind the "He's young and He's an artist" is just pathetic.

I mean really, talk about nit picking. The point is that Chris Fountain, age 25, made a rap video about rape and violence towards women. He is not a child. He is now terribly upset because he has offended his family and girlfriend.
