Behind the scenes: William’s personal photos of "Criminal Minds"
Last week brought a glimpse of the CBS promotional photos for William’s upcoming guest starring appearance on Criminal Minds. This week, I am delighted to share some of William’s personal photos from the filming of the episode, titled “Paradise,” featuring William Mapother and the lovely Robyn Lively (as William’s TV wife). Please enjoy these behind-the-scenes shots of William and Robyn having some fun during a break from their intense scenes!
Please check back over the next couple of weeks as we hope to bring you more fun tidbits from the show, which is scheduled to air October 22 at 9pm ET!

"Jack, he wasn’t on the plane!!!"
It’s hard to believe that it has been four whole years since Lost hit the airwaves, but it’s true…and with the words “Hello there,” William Mapother became the Original Other, the twist that had fans of the show leaping off of their sofas (and hiding under them), the man whose storyline and secrets only grew more after he was six feet underground. Tonight, the SciFi Channel is going to be taking fans back to those original Ethan Rom sightings! William’s first three Season 1 episodes (“Solitary,” “Raised By Another,” and “All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues”) are scheduled to air tonight, and his fourth episode (“Homecoming”) will air October 6. Check the SciFi Channel website for details!
On a Lost-related note, please check out the links to the right for two new interviews William has done: one with Take, Portugal’s leading film magazine (click the upper corners to go to page 14), and one with a German Lost fansite (German and English versions available)!
"Mountaintop Removal" screening / Q+A
Tonight William will be at Notre Dame’s Browning Cinema in support of Mountaintop Removal, a documentary he narrated at the beginning of this year which explores the enviromnental, social, and economic repercussions of a controversial coal mining process.
If you think coal is an inexpensive energy source, consider the price paid by the people of southern Appalachia. For two years, filmmaker Michael O’Connell documented the struggle between West Virginia activists and coal companies over the mining practice known as mountaintop removal, during which explosives are used to remove 1,000 vertical feet of soil and rock. The process chokes the air and creates pools of toxic sludge, as the people of the region use every means of non-violent protest at their disposal––including a sit-in at the governor’s office––to save both their land and their lives.
“I got involved in Mountaintop Removal through its producer Gill Holland… I met him in Louisville, and he told me the film needed a good voiceover. As a Kentuckian, I was eager to help in any way possible to raise awareness of destructive coal mining.”
Following each of the two special screenings of the film, both William and the film’s director, Michael O’Connell, will be present to answer questions from audience members.
