Two more of my episodes on ‘I <3 Vampires’ are now online. For the less devout among you, I play William, the leader of the vampire clan. (I know, I know.)
The show was a blast to work on, and for my involvement I owe thanks to the lovely and talented Julie Restivo. Merci, Julie.
The ep’s (‘William’s Lair’ and ‘Together Forever’) are here.
So this is what post-it’s are for: this rather helpful young man explains ‘Lost’ in 3 minutes here.
My first episode on the web series “I <3 Vampires” has been posted (a little bit ago, actually, but I was distracted with ‘Lost,’ so go ahead and shoot me in a downpour in the jungle while I’m unarmed, why don’t you). Note: Episodes of web series are usually only about 3-5 minutes.
The series is about a couple teenage girls who go vamp-crazy after reading a series of vampire novels. (hmm.) Turns out the novels are based are on a real guy, whom they meet and find vamp-dreamy. I play the leader of a vampire clan named William (all of you snickering there in the back row: at least please cover your mouths. dang!). This ep is part of a back story explaining how the lead character was tempted into becoming a vampire.
The show put up a quick bit about my guest appearance here, and the episode is here. I shot two more eps — the final two of the season — that should be posted soon.
I’m not ready today to give thoughts on the Lost finale or to say good-bye to the show, but I will offer something else instead.
The ‘Lost’ finale was broadcast in parts of Europe live at 5 and 6a.m. (!) Monday morning, simultaneous to its showing on the U.S. west coast. In Madrid ‘Lost’ fans arranged to watch it in a movie theatre, and Lostzilla, a Spanish fansite, asked me to record a quick video to be played before the show.
What they didn’t ask for was an unholy butchering of their sacred mother tongue. Sadly, however, that’s just what they got. And this from someone who even on his best day — which, mind you, was over twenty years ago — had trouble with ‘frijoles.’
Because I think we can all use a lift on a day after the show has ended, the horror of my home-recorded Spanish is here.
So the finale just started a minute ago on the east coast. Zap2it quotes some cast members here about their expectations for the final. Here’s what I had to say (note that I have no — zero, none — recollection of saying this…unless it was after that wine at last week’s ‘Lost’ charity event at UCLA…):
“At this point, especially after [‘Across the Seas’], I have no idea. They’ve allowed themselves — they’ve kind of broken all the rules. They could leave Jack on the island, they could send Jack up in a rocket, they could burn Jack up, they could throw Jack in a hole. I have no idea.”
