John Stamos: Playing a Racist Was 'Nerve-Wracking'
Primetime heartthrob, John Stamos, is sitting down with "Extra" to describe his most controversial role yet.
Co-starting alongside Sean "P.Diddy" Combs, Stamos reveals how uneasy he was creating his racist character for ABC’s powerful revival of "Raisin in the Sun."
"You see me sweating and stuff," he reveals. "It was kind of nerve-wracking!"
John also gushed to "Extra" about his role as the dashing doctor in "ER," hinting how the writers plan to sex up the drama after a long, cold winter strike.
"It’s just the best job," he says. "I came from 10 years of saying, ‘Michelle, say poo poo,’ so to get that kind of writing, I feel fortunate. Not that I didn’t love ‘Full House!’"
And although he wouldn’t say who, Stamos did confirm to "Extra" that he’s dating and admitted to wining and dining the ladies.
"I love to cook," he says. "It's a great date to have someone come over and you cook and you play a little music."
Catch the hunky Mr. Stamos in "Raisin in the Sun" when the TV movie airs at 8 p.m. on ABC.

I have seen the shows featuring John Stamos. In my opinion, he is one of the worst actors ever. I watched his remake of Raisin in the Sun and I don’t know what he is talking about when he refers to himself as “sweating and stuff.” They should have spritzed him with water. He was supposed to look apprehensive & tense. Jesus! What poor acting. He was wiping his face to make it look as though he was sweating but there was no sweat that I noticed and he was in the movie for all of 10 minuntes, if that. YAWN!!! I wanted to slap him to sleep just so he could wake up to reality and show us a sign that he is alive. Hello….JOHN…are you with us? He talks of creating his character, the role was already created in the original, for Pete’s sake. Now, P. Diddy, on the other hand, totally took me by surprise. I have never seen him acting and he was terrific. John Stamos must be getting these acting jobs by the skin of his teeth. An actor’s eyes tell the story and he has no expression of fear, worry, excitement etc. shown in his eyes, in any predicament. He needs to go back to saying,” Michelle, say, Poo, Poo !! He isn’t even good looking enough to call him a ‘heart throb’ let alone a “Primetime, Heartthrob. Get real people. I’ll bet he paid you a dollar to say that. ;-)
