Road Rules’ Dave Giuntoli shows up on Grey’s Anatomy, other scripted shows
There’s so much cross-pollination between reality shows that it’s barely newsworthy anymore, but when a reality star crosses over into scripted territory, that’s a bit more interesting, generally because reality stars totally suck at acting. The Real World London‘s Jacinda Barrett is among those who’ve made the transition. Thursday night, Road Rules South Pacific (and… continue reading
