Crush Of The Week: Sean Freeman  Photocred: Chuck Marcus Our Crush Of The Week is Sean Freeman (Born May 5th in "Sweet Home" Alabama) best known for his current role as Andre Richardson, Ted's heartthrob nephew who captures more than just photographs, going after a model hoping the photoshoot leads to more than just meets the eye. A very fun character that isn't your stereotypical playboy. Andre has substance and showcases depth and maturity.  As much as he may have commitment issues with fan speculation that it stems from losing his parents, a trigger that pulls him away from fully loving someone long-term.
