The You part will include fan photos you have sent us.

On top of these we make a request, a plea, a shameless and desperate plea for any more photos you care to send us. 

And we plea, also desperately, for any anecdote, observation or thought you have about the actor profiled.

We pick Nick Swardson for the first profile.

We have lots of photos of him. It's no accident.

When a face in the crowd calls Nick for a pic, he's ready for the click.

Often he flashes a wide and zany grin.

Fan Comments

Scott Arcuri was with his fiancee, Jennifer Rutkowski, at the Ocean Ave set in Marblehead.

"Nick was pretty cool in that he took time to sign some autographs, snap some photos, and chat with fans," said Scott.
