It would be hard not to go "Swergin! Heng mai," so I guess it's not a mystery why my assignments are small right now. Has his mother ever seen "Deadwood?' What does she think? My mom is hippie but still can't deal with all the cussing.ETA: Thanks, Lisah.

move out and draw fire

Did the other actors hate him for stealing every scene he was in?

Deadwood required him to do some things that normally only nubile young model-actresses are asked to do (sex, partial nudity) and then went beyond, to kind of ugly sex and urination etc. Was this a new experience for him as an actor, to get that raw, and how did he prepare for/execute it?

erika, you know, I've noticed a number of women credited in bit parts here and there who are most likely related to other actors in it (Fiona Dourif, Someone Boothe) and I always wonder how that goes. "Sweetie, why don't you come play a whore tomorrow?"

Punishingly Intricate

I was duckpin bowling with a number of Deadwood fans last night and every time someone left "dead wood" in the lane (that is, didn't reset so the fallen pins would be picked up) we'd yelled "COCKSUCKER!"

very satisfying

I asked if anyone had any questions for Ian MacShane (Mc? too lazy to go back and look) and all I got was "How did you become SO AWESOME?"

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Anybody watching Californication? I loves it.

Thanks for the Deadwood suggestions. My interview with McShane went live earlier today so I thought I'd post the link. Really nice guy--I didn't have as long with him as I would have liked (that's the problem with these marathon press days) but he's a total pro.

Nicely done, Fone. I was so jealous when you told us.

I've started Six Feet Under. I've watched the first two episodes. It's an odd show. I'm not sure whether I like it or not. Most of the characters kinda suck, except for David.

Waits for the inevitable joke...

He just doesn't want to admit it. Do I fill a niche or what? Initially, I felt that way, a little. Except I love Peter Krause so I wanted to like Nate. If Clare had been on when I was in high school, she would have been my idol. Although I had Darlene Connor so, not completely deprived. Long story short, they grew on me. Although sometimes I do think they work at being miserable.
