In anticipation of next week’s DVD release of The Burrowers, Lionsgate has posted the official trailer for the film here, hosted by the kind folks at Shock Till You Drop. I’d be a dang liar if I said I wasn’t a bit disappointed that audiences weren’t going to see this Horror-Western on a big screen. (It looks terrific that large, and them dirt-dwellers, well, seein’ them babies at 50 feet high ain’t gonna be helpin’ your dreamin’ none. And isn’t that why you see them sorta picture shows?) Regardless, JT Petty and the gang made a fun fusion of the two genres, one I really enjoyed…almost as much as I enjoyed gettin’ paid to ride horses.

Posted in Acting Projects, Film, Video (Online & Home)William makes a Prison Break
Just in time before the hit Fox series Prison Break goes off the air, William will appear in a couple episodes. The last two, to be specific. (No word if they’ll be run separately or scrunched together.) The series is on hiatus and will resume airing its fourth and final season on April 17 (William’s birthday. Fate? You be the judge.). William’s episodes should run about mid-May. And in a show full of thugs and criminals, William plays — surprise — an FBI agent (name of Chris Franco). Trivia: It was ten years ago that William last worked with the show’s co-lead, Dominic Purcell, in…anyone? anyone?… Mission: Impossible 2. For more info on Prison Break, check out imdb and its home page. Also, you can watch “PB” episodes on Hulu.
"The Burrowers" DVD information announced!
William’s film The Burrowers will be released on DVD on April 21st:
It is 1879 in the Dakota Territories. A handful of brave pioneers maintain isolated settlements in the badlands beyond civilization. Irish Immigrant Fergus Coffey is near to winning the hand of his beloved Maryanne when she is suddenly taken from him, her family brutally abducted in a nighttime attack on their homestead. Suspicion falls immediately on hostile Indians. Experienced Indian fighters Will Parcher and John Clay form a posse and set out to rescue the kidnapped settlers, taking along a naïve teenager hoping to prove himself a man, an ex-slave looking to find his place in the world and their ranch-hand, Coffey. But as men vanish in the night and horrific evidence accumulates with the dead and dying, the group discovers that their prey is far more terrifying than anything human, and their prospects are far more terrible than death.
DVD special features include “The Burrowers: Making a Horror Western” and “Digging up The Burrowers: Creating the Monster” featurettes and audio commentary with writer/director JT Petty and actor Karl Geary. For more information, check out BloodyDisgusting.com for details.
Warrior update…
William has wrapped up shooting his role on his new film A Warrior’s Heart, and the film will soon be going into post-production!

Pondering the Ethan/Locke ripple effect through repeats
Fans who were excited to see non-dead, non-flashback Ethan back on the island Wednesday night have been abuzz with speculation about the impact of Ethan & Locke’s brief meeting. Did Ethan recognize Locke during his time living among the castaways? Did that suggest to the Others that Locke was a fellow ageless time traveller like Richard Alpert? Was Locke’s assertion that he was to be the Others’ new leader the reason for their special interest in him from the beginning? Don’t forget, ABC will be repeating both new Lost episodes tonight, and full episodes may be watched online at the ABC website. Review the scene again and start sharing your own thoughts and conclusions!
