Matthew Fox's football career not as good as his acting

2010-11-02T16:14:00.003Z

Thanks to Matthew for the heads up.

Most people know Matthew Fox as either hunky older brother Charlie Salinger from the 1990s hit series "Party of Five" or self-tortured hero Dr. Jack Shephard from the recently finished cult show, "Lost."

But one real-life role Fox played that very few people know about was gritty wide receiver on one of the worst college football teams of all time (there’s probably a TV movie in there somewhere).

Having grown up in middle-of-nowhere Crowheart, Wyo., Fox went for a postgraduate year at the preppy Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts. There, the 6-foot-2 Fox caught the eye of Columbia and arrived on campus as a wideout in 1985.

The best way to describe the Lions at that time? Cowardly. They went 0-9 in 1984 and hadn't won a game since October of 1983. Things didn't get any better with Fox on board. In his first three seasons, the Lions went a combined 0-30.

The streak looked like it was going to come to an end in 1985 when Columbia led Harvard 17-0 with five minutes to go in the third quarter. The Crimson ended up winning, 49-17. Oops.

The low point came on Oct. 10, 1987, when Princeton blew out Columbia with star senior safety Dean Cain roaming the secondary. The loss was Columbia's 35th in a row, setting a Division I record for ineptitude and turning the team into a national punch line.

Fox started his senior season 0-3 and stretched the record losing streak (since broken) to 44 games. But the football gods finally smiled down upon him on a rainy day in Manhattan. Despite Fox’s touchdown catch being called back on a penalty, the Lions held a 16-13 lead over Princeton in the final seconds. But the Tigers, led by future NFL quarterback and current Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, got in position for a game-tying 48-yard field goal on the final play.

But the kick fell short, giving Columbia its first win in five years and setting off a wild celebration on campus.

"More than anything, I remember the immense relief and euphoria that win brought," Fox told Sports Illustrated years later. "We had gotten the crap knocked out of us for a long time. Every week we lost, we were news. Then the goal posts came down, and the campus partied for two days."

The Lions won one more game that season, bringing Fox's career record to a whopping 2-38.

"We didn't get any of the benefits of being football heroes," Fox told Playboy earlier this year.

Well, it’s kind of hard when you win twice in four years.

But he seemed destined for life in show business; even Fox’s Columbia football headshot looks like something out of a GQ photo shoot -- which is fitting because he actually started modeling and acting in commercials his freshman year to help pay the bills.

The economics major fell in love with the movie "Wall Street" during college but after graduating in 1989, a nightmare interview with an investment bank led him to pursue modeling and acting further until he landed his first TV role in the comedy "Wings" three years later.

Undercovers Recruits Alan Dale for Recurring Role

2010-10-30T10:02:00.000Z

Alan Dale has signed on for a recurring role on NBC's Undercovers, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

The 63-year-old actor will play James Kelvin, the boss of Shaw (Gerald McRaney) and the man responsible for bringing Steven and Samantha Bloom back to the CIA. Although the couple were told they were recruited to rescue Leo Nash, the real reason involves elements from the Blooms' past in which Kelvin is interested.

He will make his first appearance in Episode 11, but viewers will begin hearing his voice in episode 8.

Dale is best known for his work on Lost, Ugly Betty and The O.C. He most recently guest-starred on Burn Notice.

Libby going back to the nuthouse

2010-10-19T14:01:00.003Z

Thanks to Kim for the heads up.

Cynthia Watros is going back to her nutcase roots. The House and Lost actress — who picked up an Emmy in 1998 for portraying psycho stalker Annie Dutton on Guiding Light — is headed to Desperate Housewives to play Bree’s (literally) crazy friend, sources confirm to me exclusively.

We’ll meet Watros’s character in Housewives‘ ninth episode when she accompanies Bree and new boytoy Keith (Brian Austin Green) on a double date. Rumor has it Watros’ escort for the evening is Keith’s pa, played by John Schneider.

Watros will juggle her one-episode Housewives stint with her current recurring role as Wilson’s ex-wife-turned-girlfriend Sam on House.

Thanks to Kim for the heads up.

Andrea Gabriel (Nadia) joins "Twilight: Breaking Dawn". She joins Sayid's other woman as Maggie Grace recently joined the cast as well.

Summit Entertainment announced today the following have been cast in THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN for roles in The Amazon Coven, The Egyptian Coven, The Irish Coven and The Romanian Coven as well as the American and European Nomads as outlined below.

THE AMERICAN NOMADS
* Garrett - Lee Pace
* Mary - Toni Trucks
* Randall - Bill Tangradi
* Peter - Erik Odom
* Charlotte - Valorie Curry

THE AMAZON COVEN
* Senna - Tracey Heggins
* Zafrina - Judi Shekoni

Among the oldest vampires in the world, Senna and Zafrina are descendants of an ancient Amazonian tribe. They have lived outside of civilization for centuries and therefore make no attempt to keep up a human facade. Though they drink human blood, the Amazons have long been allies of Carlisle.

THE EGYPTIAN COVEN
* Amun - Omar Metwally
* Kebi - Andrea Gabriel
* Benjamin - Rami Malek
* Tia - Angela Sarafyan

The Egyptian Coven consists of Amun, Kebi, Benjamin, and Tia, with Amun as the leader. It is stated that even though they are not a biological family, they could pass for one. Amun is extremely protective of his family and fearful of Aro.

THE IRISH COVEN
* Maggie - Marlane Barnes
* Siobhan - Lisa Howard
* Liam - Patrick Brennan

The Irish Coven, a relatively young group, was founded by Siobhan and Liam, but Maggie's talent made her an important element of it. They are not vegetarian but they are civilized.

THE ROMANIAN COVEN
* Vladimir - Noel Fisher
* Stefan - Guri Weinberg

The Romanian Coven is one of the oldest covens in the world and they were the ruling vampire family until they were unseated by the Volturi. For that reason they harbor a centuries old resentment of the Italian coven.

THE AMERICAN NOMADS
* Garrett - Lee Pace
* Mary - Toni Trucks
* Randall - Bill Tangradi
* Peter - Erik Odom
* Charlotte - Valorie Curry

Turned during the Revolutionary War, Garrett has chosen to live a nomadic existence, wandering the world on his own. Garrett has never lost the rebellious spirit of his human life, and loves a good fight, always rooting for the underdog. Though not a vegetarian, Garrett is among Carlisle's closest and oldest friends.

Mary and Randall are American nomadic vampires.

Peter and Charlotte are nomadic vampires and mates. They were created during the aftermath of the Southern Vampire Wars, in which Jasper was a key player. They have remained friends with Jasper ever since.

THE EUROPEAN NOMADS
* Alistair - Joe Anderson

A nomadic vampire from England, Alistair has a misanthropic, brooding personality and a deep mistrust of all authority. Although he counts Carlisle as his closest acquaintance, he doesn’t visit more than once a century.

Emilie de Ravin cast in Four Saints

2010-10-04T17:05:00.003Z

Thanks to John for the heads up.

Hello Dark, i would like to inform you that Emilie de Ravin was casted in the movie "Four Saints". It is a war story based on true events and Emilie will play one of the leading roles named Mairi Chisholm . Production will start on November 1st in Canada. Here is a synopsis of the film:

"The film opens when the British Army finds itself overwhelmed by massive casualties. Major Munro, a physician attached to the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC), decides to organize a volunteer Flying Ambulance Corps. He recruits four women: Elsie Knocker (British), Mairi Chisholm (Scottish), Dorothy Fielding (Canadian) and Helen Gleason (American). The women are sent to a field hospital in Furnes, Flanders. But before long, Elsie discovers that many wounded soldiers die of shock during the transport from the trenches to the hospital. She implores Dr. Munro to move the field hospital closer to the front. When he declines, the four women steal an ambulance, packed with supplies, and begin to operate their own dressing station -- in an abandoned village called Pervyse, a stone's throw away from the trenches. Pervyse is just north of the Ypres 'Salient,' a dangerous bulge in the German lines which actually exposes the Allied soldiers to German artillery from three sides..."

Michael Emerson interview

2010-10-01T07:33:00.002Z

Thanks to Dave for the heads up.

How much did you enjoy working on Lost?
It was a complete joy to work on Lost. I had loads of fun because Benjamin Linus was a great character and I had great scripts. I really enjoyed acting in that mysterious world and I really enjoyed playing this mysterious character. The writers took care of everything for me. I just kept it simple and played Ben dark and ambiguous, which kept the audience interested but unknowing.

Did you enjoy discovering the answers to some of Lost’s questions in the final season?
That was one of the things that was most exciting about Season Six. The show was still complicated and mystifying – but we were getting answers to some of the questions that we all wanted to know about. I couldn’t put my finger on where we were going during Season Six, but I was always the last person to figure anything out. I always had to rely on other people to tell me what was going on.

How did you want the show to end?
I never thought about things like that. I trusted our writers to have a much larger imagination than me. Whenever I came up with ideas, they were always insufficient, so I steered clear of theories and stories. I just looked at the script and went from there.

Is it true that Matthew Fox was the only actor on set who knew the ending to the show?
People always thought that Matthew knew the ending, but I’m not so sure. He could’ve been making it all up. How will we ever know if he knew the ending unless he made a recording on a tape recorder, dated it and sealed it in a safety deposit box to open after we finished filming? We will never know the truth.

Were you happy with the finale of Season Five?
I thought it was a great season-ender from a series that always has great season endings – and I thought it was brilliant that it was a two-part cliffhanger. Each of the cliffhangers were sufficiently mind-bending to lure you into Season Six. In my case, I thought it was astonishing and I was very happy to play the scene that I got to play. Benjamin Linus often behaves in a calculated way, but every once in a while he does something completely childish or impulsive – and he got to do that at the end of Season Five. I was very surprised when I read the script and I was excited to play it.

Moving onto Season Six… What were you thoughts on the theory that Benjamin Linus could be the unknown hero of the show – and that he wasn’t evil at all?
I always thought that was completely possible, but I had no idea what was in store for Ben. In fact, I had no idea where any of the characters were going on the show. To be honest, I was surprised that Ben lasted for so long. I was also surprised that he was still as interesting as ever after so many years. But again, that was down to the wonderful scripts we got on the show.

Do you like Ben Linus?
Ben is a calculated character. I think you have to be able to find sympathy in every character you play or you have to be comfortable with them because a character lives inside you. However, Ben used to shock me all the time. I can’t believe some of the things he did.

How do Lost fans react when they see you in the street?
It’s a mixed reaction really. Some people can’t distinguish me from the role, so I would often be shouted at in Hawaii. People would cross the street in Waikiki to tell me that they stopped watching the show because they can’t stand me. But I enjoy it. It’s fun to be a villain.

What evil person from cinema would be a role model to Benjamin Linus?
Ben is civilized, so perhaps someone like Hannibal Lecter would be a good, civilized role model? No, wait a minute… What is that character in The Lady In White? Count Fosco! That’s it. He was one of the first, great dapper civilized villains. That’s better.

Why do you think Lost was so successful?
I think one of the reasons people became so excited about Lost was that the show changed every season. The lens through which we viewed the story would always morph into something new and different. The first season of Lost was a teaser. It was merely the tip of a much larger iceberg, so Lost became a bigger show every subsequent season. At the start of Season Six, we left that castaway soap opera far behind. That’s when we got into a speculative science fiction territory.

Do you think writing for television has improved in recent years?
I do. I think we’re living in the second golden age of television writing. At the moment, television writing is superior to cinematic writing in America on average. I honestly believe that. We’ve got some wonderful shows on television.

Is there any truth in the rumor that you are working on a new television show with your Lost co-star Terry O’Quinn?
Terry has been trying to convince me to do something and it would be a lot of fun. I really enjoy working with him, so if the two of us could do something with characters that are much different to our Lost characters, then it would be delightful. I think people enjoy the interaction between Ben and John Locke on Lost, so they might be interested to see a different kind of chemistry between those two faces.

There’s also a rumor going around that you would like to appear in True Blood with your wife. Is that true?
That was one of those things that you say as a joke in front of someone with a microphone and then it takes on a life of its own. I admire [True Blood creator] Alan Ball’s shows and if he ever had a part for me, I would love to be there – but I don’t know what that part would be. I would prefer to play something completely out of character, so it would be more fun if it wasn’t something sinister like the Lord of the Vampires. Maybe I could be a pizza deliveryman with a moustache who gets his head torn off? That would be fun.

What television shows do you watch at home?
During the last year, my wife and I have watched Nurse Jackie and FlashForward. We always check out the shows that other people from Lost star in, like V, because Elizabeth Mitchell is in it. My wife is also obsessed with Mad Men. I’ve seen it and I enjoy it, but my wife is obsessed.

Do you think Lost has changed you as an actor?
I won’t be able to answer this question until I get back to the stage. I don’t know how difficult it will be to get back to learning lines and rehearsing for a stage production. Working on Lost has upset most of my previous ideas about actor preparation. When it comes to acting on the show, I found it was better to be in the dark. It was better to grope around as an actor – and it was nice not to be burdened with the secrets. However, that’s not how I tackle a play on the stage.

Was there a big theater scene in Hawaii, where Lost was filmed?
I was always looking for a theater life in Hawaii. I’m a theater person and I’m in the habit of going to plays. I would go to community theaters and college theaters, but there wasn’t too much going on over there. I also supported the children’s theater there. I would go and watch music or dance or whatever I could find.

Are you concerned that you might only be seen as a sinister character from now on?
I know what you mean, but it doesn’t make me sleepless. Every time I’ve done a role well, everyone has worried on my behalf that I would never do anything else. My big break on the stage was playing Oscar Wilde in a play. After that, everyone was worried that I would only be able to play flamboyant Englishmen, but that was not true. When the industry sees you do something good then they want you to do more of it, so it’s up to you to put on the breaks and do something different. You thank them kindly and decline the offer if it’s the same character again – unless it’s staggering money.

What project would you like to work on next?
I have a pile of scripts at my house, but I haven’t chosen anything yet. It would be nice if I could play something different, but it doesn’t really matter because the main thing I look for in a new project is good writing. I would like a change of pace, but I’ll go where the best character that interests me the most is. It doesn’t matter if it’s television or the stage or even a movie. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

Terry O'Quinn Exclusive Interview

2010-09-24T21:45:00.001Z

Thanks to DutchLost

What’s your fondest memory from Lost?
The perfect day on the set of Lost had nothing to do with acting. There was always a wonderful atmosphere on set because there was so much beauty around you in Hawaii – and the atmosphere was magical. My favorite times were when we shot on one of the beautiful beaches of the North Shore of Oahu, near to where I lived. The sun would be shining and the wind would be blowing – and you’d walk out of make-up onto the set via craft services to grab a cup of Joe. You’d walk over to where the actors were all sitting around and you’d spot Naveen Andrews with a guitar on his lap and a smile on his face. He would start to play and we would all sing along – and those are the most beautiful memories I have from working on Lost. You were in for a magical day when that was happening. Those were the sweetest days ever.

What songs would you sing?
We’d sing everything from Fleetwood Mac and Pink Floyd to The Beatles and Van Morrison. I can’t even name all of the people or bands we would sing. You name a song and Naveen Andrews could play it. He’d figure it out on the spot or he would already know it. He was a dictionary of music.

Work sounds like bliss when you put it like that… Were there any downsides to filming Lost?
The only downsides were when you weren’t working. I enjoyed working on Lost immensely, so the hardest part of the experience was when you weren’t involved in an episode. Everybody I worked with on Lost was a joy, so you really felt left out when you weren’t on set.

What was your most memorable scene to work on?
My most memorable scene occurred in the third episode of the first season. It was the scene where John Locke stood up amidst the plane crash and the wreckage and the destruction and the chaos – and he realized that he could walk. I thought that was a brilliant scene because of the way it was shot. The director, Jack Bender, directed it superbly and I thought it was very moving. Michael Giacchino’s music had a large part in that, too. It was a fantastic scene.

Do you have any other favorite scenes?
I love the scene I did with Michael Emerson in Season Five where Locke was trying to hang himself, but Linus came in and killed him instead. That was a great day on set. It was like we were performing in theater. It was a lot of fun and I felt like I was really exercising my acting muscles, which made it wonderful.

Why do you think Lost was so successful?
All of the production values on Lost were top notch. They were better than anything I’ve ever seen on television. The cinematography, the acting, the directing, the music… All of those things were amazing. Another thing that helped was the way that the people who watched the show were avid viewers who wanted to protect Lost’s secrets in any way possible. Somebody asked me recently, “Why didn’t more of the secrets get out?” And I said, “Because it would have been artistic vandalism to put that stuff out there.” Fans of the show didn’t want the secrets revealed, so they would try to protect it. I think that was great.

Did you ever go online to check out what the fans were writing about the show?
I used to go online and talk to the fans a lot, but not towards the end of the show. I talked to them frequently during the first couple of seasons, but I found myself getting into the same conversations over and over again. The people I meet on the street satisfy my need to make contact with the fans. I love to meet them and I never say no to pictures. If anybody wants to talk about the show, I will generally talk about it.

Would it worry you if people came up to you in 10 years and say, “How’s it going, Locke?”
That’s perfectly fine with me. If an actor sees that as a curse, I think they need to go and be a roofer for a while. Or try out being a garbage man and seeing how they like it. It’s a compliment to be remembered.

What have you learned from playing Locke over the last six years?
I don’t know. Perhaps I have acquired a sense of confidence from him? I think a lot of us don’t see ourselves as substantial, but he has helped me realize I have more confidence than I thought I had. I feel like people will listen to me more than they would have six years ago and I’ve also learned that I’m a better actor than I thought I was. That is a lovely thing to realize.

Do people now turn to you to lead the way?
I was the elder statesman of our cast, so maybe they did a little – but not too much. I was just one of many actors in the cast of Lost and we all looked out for each other, but there weren’t any leaders really. We all just got on with our jobs on the show.

How much did you enjoy living in Hawaii?
I loved working in Hawaii more than I liked living there. I think if I stayed in Hawaii forever and didn’t work, I would probably go a little crazy. I would love to work there again, though. I was a lot healthier in Hawaii than I’ve ever been. Well, at least at this age. I’m a lot fitter than I would be if I hadn’t worked on Lost.

How do you like to relax?
I play a lot of golf. I love to walk and swim. I play the guitar. I do some carpentry. People often expect me to say that I surf, but I can’t. Everybody says, “You’ve got to surf in Hawaii. You have to start surfing.” But then, five minutes later, you see them again with a nice little scar on their body and they explain, “Well, I got this when my fin hit me.” Or, “I hit the reef and it tore me up.” My rule is simple: Don’t jump off the gravy train when it’s rolling.

Do you watch much television at home?
Sure. I love shows like So You Think You Can Dance. The people on that show are amazing. You watch these guys come from the streets and they’re into krumping or whatever it’s called – and then, all of a sudden, they’re doing the most amazing dances. I find it very moving and very satisfying, so I watch that. It’s much better than Dancing With The Stars. I also watch America’s Funniest Videos, but I don’t watch TV drama. I never really did.

Are you a good dancer?
I’m pretty good. I can keep the beat. I can waltz. I can handle myself on a dance floor. I also love to watch nature shows, too. I watch sports. I watch the news. I’m not really into reality television, though.

Do you plan to stay in Hawaii now that the show has finished?
I don’t know. I can’t stay there and not work, but we own a house there and it’s going to be impossible to sell in the current economic climate. What’s next for me after Lost? I’m working on something, but I can’t talk about it yet. I have a great idea and I’ve talked to Michael Emerson about it. I said, “You and I should do a series.” I’m trying to seduce him and coax him into doing something with me. I think that would be fun.

Have you been offered many roles since the show ended?
Not really, but I’m hoping that’s because people assume I’m busy. The only thing I know for now is the fact that I’m an unemployed actor. What’s next for me? I’m looking for a job and that’s it.

Is there any specific role you’d like to play?
I’ve played a lot of authority figures in the past and I don’t crave anymore of those, although I’ll do it if there’s a great story that’s written well. I guess I would love to play somebody who is flawed like Locke so that I enjoy the acting experience. It would be great to play somebody who has a complicated life and lots of trouble to deal with. That would suit me immensely. I’ll keep my fingers crossed and we’ll see what happens…

Jorge Garcia To Guest Star On HIMYM UPDATED

2010-09-24T20:31:00.002Z

Thanks to Iceman for the heads up.

LOST star Jorge Garcia — better known to you and me as Hugo “Hurley” Reyes — is hitting HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER.

CBS confirms that Garcia will play a bro with unbelievably bad timing in a November episode of the comedy series and GIVE ME MY REMOTE has exclusive new details on his character, whom they’re calling Blitz.

Blitz is Ted, Marshall and Lily’s friend from college who has the uncanny ability to leave a room right before things finally get interesting. Blitz has been cursed with this regrettable phenomenon for over twelve years. When Ted goes to sleep early on the night before Thanksgiving and misses the party of a lifetime — a party that even Blitz attended — he is terrified, wondering if he is in now “the Blitz”!

How excited are you to see our boy Hurley hanging with the HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER crew?
