Ain’t It Cool News loooooves my upcoming episode of Justified. (Set in Harlan, KY, ‘natch.) 
Sounds as if, y’all, that they had almost as much fun watching it as I did shooting it. Almost.

Film News Briefs <3 Slated
There’s a great piece on my online film finance marketplace Slated in Film News Briefs. 
We had a terrific party at Sundance, and the marketplace currently lists over 30 films, including several with Oscar winners. Here’s to the democratization of film finance!
Two Pces o’ News
Drew Peterson: Untouchable, on Lifetime this past Saturday, was the 
most-watched cable movie for the past two years. There were 5.8 million people who were kept off the street and prevented from thieving and pillaging. Score one for Lifetime!
But some dare question the film’s accuracy. We are shocked. Shocked!
On a totally separate note: Pandodaily, a site with all sorts of tech news, picked up Slated’s announcement at the launch party at Sundance. (See my Slated FAQ on this site for more info about Slated).
FDR: What a Badass
I’ve been in a number of movies, but none with a title as promising as FDR: American Badass. Yes, that’s FDR: American Badass. In this extraordinarily moving and realistic film based on realistic events in a realistic-y fashion, our 32nd President fights Nazi werewolves. I play Dr. Ellington but do not play the saw.
[Note of Vital Importance: The events depicted in this film have been very suspiciously expunged from our history books. This is your — and everyone’s, just about — first opportunity to see how the sh*t with Delano really went down.
Entertainment Weekly interviewed director Garrett Brawith. It even includes a badass trailer. This film is another from the semi-deranged mind of Ross Patterson, who was to blame, er, responsible for another of my promisingly titled ventures, Darnell Dawkins: Mouth Guitar Legend.
There is — again, very suspiciously — no release date, but as soon as one is available, I’ll let you know, or die trying.
‘Untouchable’ (shiver)
This Sat night at 8pm/7pm Central, Lifetime is airing Drew Peterson: Untouchable, 
the movie about Drew Peterson, the Illinois police officer whose wives keep dying on him. Just bad luck? Hmmm..
Kaley Cuoco (Big Bang Theory) joins in the fun. Rob Lowe looks frighteningly accurate in the role. I play Drew’s stepbrother, Glenn, not the most accomplished of accomplices..
Here are a couple fun pics from the wedding scene. First pic: Go ahead, have a look at it. 
It’s a pretty film set for a wedding, right? Except notice the stones in the grass in the foreground? Yeah, we shot the wedding scene in a cemetery. Perfect for the story line.
Second pic: This sort of odd arrangement — baby and flowers along with plastic covering, lying on the grass next to a trash can — is the norm for a film set. The crew (the props dept., in this case) is too busy fighting the dwindling daylight and the 
addle-brained actors to worry about niceties like protecting the fake babies from trash can odors..
