It’s Looking Grimm

Posted on: April 7th, 2016 by wmapother No Comments

Tomorrow night I’m guesting on NBC’s Grimm (9/8c)…as a minister, of all things.Grimm - I'm all tied up at the moment

The logline from NBC’s site: “A preacher who exploits his Wesen identity to gain followers arrives in Portland.” Hmm. Sounds like a pitch for an SNL sketch about the primaries.

Also, last week I was on the Grog ‘n’ Prog podcast (Episode 4) for a Lost-centric grilling. Eg, Why was Ethan spared during the Purge? Why wasn’t he in more episodes? And in ep 5.3’s final scene, why was that third palm frond from the left folded IN FOUR PLACES? etc., etc. You’ve been warned. Ep 4 here:

American War Generals

Posted on: September 11th, 2014 by wmapother 1 Comment

This weekend the National Geographic Channel is airing the two-hour special “American War Generals,” which I narrate.  It premieres this Sunday, Sept 14, at 8pmET.  am war gen 48percent

The interviews and material are fascinating.  The generals, nearly all of them household names, offer perspectives and information we rarely learn from reports on the wars.  The NatGeo site has this synopsis:

“Powell. McChrystal. McCaffrey. Petraeus. Clark. For the first time, National Geographic Channel gathers the nation’s leading war generals for an unprecedented look at 50 years of military history, from the Vietnam War to America’s war on Al-Qaeda. The two-hour special American War Generals reveals never-before-heard stories and insightful opinions from eleven active and retired U.S. Army generals. Their accounts take us through the big changes that have transformed the U.S. military from the first troops to enter Vietnam to the last combat troops to exit Afghanistan, explaining the critical personal experiences that shaped their lives and the way they approached modern warfare.”

The Mentalist, redux

Posted on: October 17th, 2013 by wmapother 2 Comments

This Sunday I return to The Mentalist as Richard Haibach in the ep “Red Listed.”  Richard mentalist screen shotwas introduced a couple seasons ago, and he’s still up to some questionable activities.  I can’t say any more or I’ll be hung by my thumbs..

As before, I had a great time on the show.  I’ve Simon Baker for too long to remember, and he’s just as light and friendly in person as his character on the show.  The set has a good vibe.  They’re on a hit show, what’s not to vibe good about, right?
