It’s hard to imagine the “Full House” dads being played by anyone else but Bob Saget as Danny Tanner, Dave Coulier as Joey Gladstone, and John Stamos as Jesse Katsopolis. Their camaraderie on-screen and their enduring friendship off-screen have transcended the decades. Each is easily recognizable for the iconic roles they played from 1987 to 1995 (via IMDB) on the original series and then from 2016 to 2020 on the Netflix reboot “Fuller House.”
The original “Full House” told the story of widower Danny Tanner who needs help raising his three young daughters and asks his brother-in-law, Jesse, and best friend, Joey, to move in and help rear his girls. We watched the three men take on the parenting duties that typical sitcom moms would handle, and the performers became synonymous with their roles as they entered American living rooms every Friday night for seven seasons. It also turns out there was one actor who was willing to play any of them — and was rejected — but still found his fame in primetime later on.

In fact, Duchovny released his third album, “Gestureland,” on Aug. 20, 2021. “If I’m getting cut on that double-edged sword [of celebrity], I’m the one who pulled it out in the first place,” Duchovny told USA Today about his latest musical venture. “But good or bad, just take [the album] seriously as a piece of music.”
