Just Under the Wire

Posted on: May 14th, 2009 by wmapother 2 Comments

Just in time before it goes off the air, I’ll be on Prison Break this Friday at 8/7C on Fox as FBI agent Chris Franco (in a double ep — ‘Rate of Exchange’ and ‘Killing Your Number’).  I’m sorry the show’s leaving.  It has a cult of devout fans, and as mentioned in an earlier post, I know one of the leads, Dominic Purcell, from Mission:Impossible II.  Here’s hoping that it goes out with a bang.

[Note: If you missed the broadcast, you can watch it online here.]
One other thing:  Not that anyone’s actually voiced this, but just in case there’s any suspicions:  I was cast and shot before — that’s prior to, earlier than, somewhere between eons ago and the eve of — the show was cancelled.  So I’m innocent, in the clear, off the hook.
[One other other thing:  I was also in the last two episodes of Touched By An Angel.  I cannot swear I had nothing to do with that one.]

Lincoln Memorial Dedication

Posted on: April 28th, 2009 by wmapother 1 Comment
It was just two hundred short years ago that Abraham Lincoln was born in Hodgenville, Kentucky.  In honor of the bicentennial, my hometown of Louisville commissioned a memorial 
to him for its Waterfront Park, on the banks of the Ohio River.  On June 4 the City will hold a dedication ceremony, and yours truly has been invited to perform the narration for Aaron Copland’s “Lincoln Portrait.”  Memorial and dedication details are here.  Lincoln, Copland, Louisville…Mapother.    Hmmmmm.

Burrowers Released on DVD

Posted on: April 22nd, 2009 by wmapother 2 Comments

Unless you’ve been living under a rock or kidnapped by pirates, and, probably, even if you have been, you’ve heard that ‘The Burrowers’ is now out on DVD. The trailer on YouTube is here. It’s probably already sold out, checked out, rented out, and worn out everywhere you’d want it, but in case some genre geek is able to scrounge you up a copy, here are some links to possible outlets: Netflix, Blockbuster, and, for those who absolutely, positively must own it, Amazon. So why are you still reading this? Get thee scrounging!
