Sun-Times Shout-Out

Posted on: May 23rd, 2010 by wmapother 1 Comment

The Chicago Sun-Times picked Ethan as one of Lost’s characters which made the show so memorable.  Normally, you won’t find such self-serving pieces here on the pages of ATW, but in this case, it pretty apparent that it’s in the interest of the general public’s welfare.  Also, it’s the show’s last day, so, you know, tough.  (Thanks, Nancy!)

Excerpt:

“10 underrated heroes made ‘Lost’ intriguing

In the end, my biggest complaint about “Lost” is probably this: It gave too much.

It gave us well-written, character-driven stories. It gave us groundbreaking narrative styles. It gave us Miles and Hurley, the best comedy team since Cheech and Chong. It gave us Egyptian mythology, Enlightenment philosophy, endless literary references, time travel, and a hydrogen bomb. It gave us flashbacks, flashforwards and flash-sideways.

It was too much….”

Lost in the NYT

The New York Times has a large piece on ‘Lost’ and the show runners here with all sorts of accompanying articles and photo galleries.  The photo to the right is of Damon and Carlton and for a larger version of it, in which you can see the headshots of the actors on that R.I.P. wall, including yours truly near the bottom left, click here.

Lost: The (Nearly) Final Celebration

Posted on: May 11th, 2010 by wmapother 4 Comments

This Thursday at UCLA’s Royce Hall, ABC is hosting a Lost party/charity event, ‘Lost: The Final Celebration.’  Composer Michael Giacchino will perform some of his music, the penultimate episode will be screened (shhh), and then they’ll be a deconstruction, er, party afterwards.

My date will be my fabulous and glamorous agent Suzanne.  Asking her to join me is just a small token of my gratitude, considering it is only through her ingenious efforts that I’m a part of this whole crazy Lost world to begin with.  Thank you, Suz, again and again.

Info is here and tickets (if any are left) are here.

Note:  The photo is, of course, from season one, right before Charlie brutally murdered the  unarmed, just-stabbed-in-the-leg-offscreen-and-therefore-considerably-weakened obstetric surgeon Ethan.

But don’t weep for me, Argentina, Romania, Thailand or Zimbabwe.  After I die, I’ll be back for eight more episodes.  But Charlie won’t.  And let that be a lesson to you young heroin addicts out there.

Ethan yadda yadda Rom

MediaBlvd Magazine has printed an interview with me about Ethan and that show.    In it I do a lot of yapping (note to self:  get to the point!).  The interview is here.

Gutentag!

Word has reached me from across the great sea that on April 22, ‘The Burrowers‘ will be released on DVD in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.

In case you’re reading this in Germany, please drop everything immediately.  Put your life on hold and go demand to your local video store that they offer multiple copies of ‘The Burrowers.’  They won’t know of what to which you refer, of course, so repeat yourself, calmly, and for “Burrowers” just substitute “Das Böse unter der Erde.”

They’ll nod and agree and make the order into the computer, and then you can go enjoy a streudel and beer together.

Horror-westerns.  Bringing the world together.
