Well let me start off saying that I’ve been a fan…or supporter since November of 2000. I first saw him on The Famous Jett Jackson during the “Special Helpings Thanksgiving Marathon.” I started out liking the guy that played Cubby and recorded the episodes he was in only. Not knowing that I would notice Tony later. I started to ignore “Cubby” and noticed that a certain villain on the show stood out more. Yup, you guessed it, the Rat..aka Tony Munch. I started watching that show more and more and recorded every episode he was in. And I went on the Internet and researched him. Didn’t find much except filmographies, movie and play reviews. I decided it was time to act. It was time I made a website for him. Now known as the one you’re at right now. TUTMP..or in other words, The Unofficial Tony Munch Page.
I made this site especially for him. And I didn’t find any other fan pages out there so this page seems to be unique. So is he. Anyway, more to why he’s in my eyes. I saw more of his works and noticed a true talent. I saw something in him that I didn’t see in other actors. A certain finesse if you will. It’s just more than his looks and talent. I can ‘sense’ something else about him. I can’t really explain what it is. I know what you’re thinking, it’s ‘love’. No, it’s not. I don’t love him romantically. I don’t have dreams about being with him because I’m in the reality. I know that he’s with someone and I’m happy for him. I don’t want him to be alone. No one should. If he’s happy, I’m happy.
Tony has pretty much worked his ass off during his career. I can tell. I can also tell that he’s got guts and he’s not afraid of showing it. I see a true leader as well. His professional career in acting has made me realize how amazing a person can be in that area. I’ve been told of how he’s a truly nice guy in ‘real life’ and stuff. I do believe that. Some actors seem to be nice but then you don’t know their true colors until you meet them. I won’t give an example but I know Tony’s not like that. One of his friends talked to me before and told me that he’s nice and stuff. And I believe him. He looks like a mean bad person because of the characters he portrays and his appearance. That’s why he gets those roles. That doesn’t mean he’s not nice, caring and whatnot in real life.
On to his looks. I believe his height is 5’7. Don’t know that for sure. For the past 10 years or so he’s had medium length hair. Just recently, he’s cut it short. Like a military cut of some sort. I noticed that on Black Hole High. I was like, “hmm…looks different. Going to have to get used to it.” He still looks good no matter what hairstyle he as. He looks pretty good for his age. 37 to be exact. Now you’re asking, “why do you like older men?” Well, I just do. I’m not really attracted to the young actors that are my age. Anyway, Tony has the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen. Seems corny, I know. I like that brown hair/blue eyes combo. He’s a very good-looking man. And may I add, a cute little butt too. I have to admit that I also like men with hairy chests. He’s not fat either; he’s medium size, buff-like. He’s just an average guy. An average man with true talent and more.
He’s also pretty much changed my life in ways. I’m not saying that he has changed my life I’m just saying how much he’s involved in my hard times and good times. I do feel down all the time. He makes me feel better at times. How so? Well sometimes you know how books and music (ect.) calm people down and help them with hard times? Well for me, it’s Tony sometimes. If I feel down and whatnot I usually work on his website, watch his tapes, or just think about him. Thinking about him in ways like, wondering how he’s doing and stuff. He also gives me hope that I can follow my dreams and succeed like he has. Yes, he some sort of role model for me. I wouldn’t doubt that.
As far as obsession goes….I’m not obsessed. I don’t spend my waking hours thinking about him. He’s pretty much involved in my small spare time. I’m not crazy like most people. And if I ever met him, I wouldn’t all be jumping on him and screaming. I’m not like that at all. I would just act like myself in my mature manner. I’m not one of those people who dream all day and sighs away. I respect him. I know he wouldn’t want me to do such things. As far as meeting him is concerned. I wouldn’t say that it’s impossible because I believe that if it’s meant to happen it will. I would love to meet him someday. And I’m sure I will. But the distance is a problem as well. He lives about 2,500 miles northeast of me. And I am planning a trip to Toronto soon. (not going for him, going for me) And if he’s in town it could happen. And I wouldn’t expect a lot. Just maybe a friendly hello and conversation. I don’t expect fireworks and romance. Well it would depend on him..heh heh. Anyway, I would just like to be his friend at the most. I’m sure he wouldn’t turn down friendship. He’s the type of person that I would most likely be a friend with. I admire his standards, talents and kindness.
He’s a truly talented, nice, and beautiful person that deserves a fan like me. And the fact that he wrote me back also made me think more positive things about him. He told me how much he appreciates my kindness, support, and interest in his acting career. And how much he loves his website. I would just like to say in response…Thank you, Tony. I’m here if you need anything. I’m not just here as a fan or supporter, but as a friend too. Don’t be afraid to contact me more in any way.
To sum up this whole thing I would like to say some more things. He may not have that many fans but from what I can see during his acting career, that he’s getting more recognition. He used to do very small roles in tv movies and stuff. But after Jett Jackson, he’s done a little more. Like on Black Hole High. He plays the mysterious Janitor. An important (to context) role in that show. He was in 11 out of 13 of the first season episodes. And I don’t see any reason why he wouldn’t be in season two. They just wouldn’t get rid of the Janitor like that. The Janitor has something about him that connects with the mysteries of the school. I would love to see what happens next. And after his current play is over, comes April. The month that season two starts filming. I sure hope his calendar is scheduled for that. Anyway, the point is that I’m thinking maybe it’s the support of his fans that is getting him more roles. Is it because of us? I know for a fact that every actor has fans. At least one. And in his case I know he has more than I know of. And you know how actors just love the support of their fans. Makes them want to work harder and do more. That’s when their ego kicks in I guess. Kind of like them saying, “hmm..they like my work. Maybe I should do more. I’ll give them more and more and I’ll feel so much better because someone out there adores me.” They like that. And I know Tony does. Why wouldn’t he like attention? Anyway, I should sum this up. Tony, don’t ever forget that I’m (as well as others are) here for you. I’m behind you all the way. Don’t ever give up your dreams. It’ll pay off soon. Who knows, maybe you’ll have an award someday..or your very own tv show. Well whatever your dream is, know that I’ll be here.
Until next time
