John Stamos almost played a male hooker. The 59=year-old actor is best known for his starring as Jesse Katsopolis on the classic ABC sitcom 'Full House' but revealed he once had a lunch meeting with 'Glee' creator Ryan Murphy to discuss the potential of playing a prostitute who helps to "work on" a couple's marriage. He said: "I remember going to lunch with him at The Ivy and we order, and I said, ‘So what’s the show?’ And he’s like, ‘Well…’ And this was again, like now if he offered me the show, I’d do it in two seconds.

Shaun Wallace has ruled out reality TV shows for the sake of his law career.
