Jason Dohring Reveals New Gig While At Polaris Convention
July/12/2008 22:36
Forum Member “Total Eclipse”
is one of the panelists at this weekend's
Polaris convention in
Toronto, where Jason Dohring is making an
appearance. During a on-on-one with her, Jason
revealed he has a recurring role in one of Rob
Thomas' new shows (he wouldn't say which one and
there are two), which he defined as a "very cool
character". Also, he is looking at doing some
leading male roles to further his career, so he
can experiment a little - especially with
theatre, later on.

Alex O' Loughlin Comments On Moonlight Cancelation
May/14/2008 16:02
Alex O'Loughlin has posted a comment on his MySpace
blog regarding the show's cancelation:
"Well, where to start....?
The decision to cancel MOONLIGHT... my MOONLIGHT... our MOONLIGHT, is
as much of a shock and gut wrenching surprise to me as it is to all of
you.
Really, I don't even know where to begin.
I sit here at my computer, still slack jawed even 24 hours after
receiving the news that my services are no longer required on the set
of this show. A show we have all come to know and love deeply, and it
hurts more than I can possibly tell you.
Since i got THE CALL I have not read anything online or otherwise, I
have not been following blogs or forums, I have not been reading the
trades or opinion polls and I have not been calling around to get
information.
"Why are you not fighting for your show?!" I hear you all scream!!
The truth is my friends, I never STOPPED fighting for it.
From the very beginning when I was told time and again that i wasn't
the man for the job, having to prove myself to everyone with tests and
screen tests, to a complete re-casting of the show, through 5
different show runners at the helm with 5 different artistic visions,
to a Writer's strike that took 5 episodes away from us...... oh how
the list goes on.
But through all of that, i am proud to say that not once did I bow
down and allow someone else to come in and do with MOONLIGHT as they
please. And along the way, if I needed a break and wanted to do that,
I don't think I could have anyway because, well, I suppose it's just
not in my nature!
This is all still so fresh for me and I am going to need a little time
to process this whole thing before i can digest what has actually
happened, let alone move on.
Honestly. I really feel lost for words.
I will say however, that never, never in my life have I experienced
first hand a level of support from a group of people like that of you
all who are reading this now, and who 'loved this show to life'
alongside me. It has been overwhelming to say the least.
I am grateful to you all.
I am extremely proud to be associated with this piece of television.
And I am so, so sorry to my very core, to lose MOONLIGHT.
All my love,
Alex O'Loughlin x"
