I love David Giuntoli!
What I love about David G. Is his acting . The way he he portrays his character it’s heartwarming to watch because he’s so kind and considerate to his friends and family. I hope he’s like that in real life. N yes he’s a very good looking man n that doesn’t hurt the show a bit.But so is Hank. N they work so good together. I’m a old lady n I even dream about meeting them. Not cuz of their looks but for the the characters they play. But I probably have a heart attack if that dream ever came true (I’m just kidding) cuz looks don’t hurt. Lol
Thank you for letting me say my 2 cents worth. I appreciate it. Sincerely Carrie Malone
