Anne Heche (Hung), Judd Hirsch (Damages), William Devane (24), Titus Welliver (The Good Wife, Lost) and Suleka Mathew (HawthoRNe) have joined the all-star lineup for TNT’s upcoming slate of original movies premiering as part of The TNT Mystery Movie Night showcase this fall.

Primetime Emmy® nominee and Daytime Emmy winner Heche and Emmy winner and Oscar® nominee Hirsch have joined the cast of Silent Witness, based on the book by Richard North Patterson. The movie stars Dermot Mulroney (Zodiak, Copycat) as prominent defense attorney Tony Lord, who returns to his hometown to defend the teacher, played by Michael Cudlitz (TNT’s Southland). Tony’s involvement re-opens the heartache from his own high school days, when he was a student falsely accused of murdering his first love. Heche will play Sue Robb, the wife of the accused, while Hirsch will play Tony’s longtime friend Saul Rubin, who helps him on the case. (continue reading…)

Round 1 was a success, so now on to Round 2!

For this round, we have 4 photos that were a great hit in the first round. Sorry folks, no jackets – that ship has sailed!

Starting bid for all pics in this auction is $50, but if you act fast and really, really want any of the pictures you can take advantage of the eBay “Buy It Now” feature and snap up any of them for just $60 to avoid getting into a bidding war. Act fast, though, because that option is ONLY there until the first person makes a bid of any amount. Once a bid is placed, “Buy It Now” is off the table.

Remember – this is all for the benefit of the AmeriCares Pacific Earthquake & Tsunami Relief Fund. They can take each dollar and multiply it up to 35 times for the delivery of aid directly where it is needed, so every dollar helps. In the first round we raised $588.83. If all pictures sell, we can raise at least another $200 – but let’s shoot for the sky!

So get your behinds over to eBay and start bidding/buying! We’ve even made it easier with a nice short link: http://sfc.me/auction

Happy Bidding!

Round 1 of our first ever Charity Auction to benefit the AmeriCares Pacific Earthquake & Tsunami Relief Fund is complete! eBay/PayPal is finally done holding on to the donations (woe is us for being a new seller, even with an established PayPal account, linked to an established commercial eBay account – the idiots) so we finally got all the funds from the items that sold during the auction. The check has been sent to AmeriCares, along with a nice letter of support.

The end results of the 1st round of the auction is that we managed to raise a grand total of $588.83 for Japan! While that might not seem like much at first glance, keep in mind that AmeriCares, through its amazing work, can multiple donations by as much as 35 times, converting that to a whopping $20,609.05 worth of aid delivered to the region. Wow!!!

The work is not complete yet, though!

We still have a few pictures left from Michael McGrady and Michael Cudlitz which were not put up for auction the first time. So… Round 2!!! (continue reading…)

Our charity auction, to benefit the Pacific Earthquake & Tsunami Relief Fund of AmeriCares, has now launched!

The first round of the auction has launched with 7 items total, including 3 sizes of the Southland jackets and 4 different autographed photos signed by Michael Cudlitz and Michael McGrady.

For information about the auction, why we are doing it, how it’s being conducted, etc., please take a gander at our full Charity Auction page here on the site. You can also jump directly to our eBay Auction page to view the listings and, hopefully, place a bid on one or more of the items. Remember – this is for charity, to benefit the relief efforts in the Sendai region of northern Japan, with 100% of the final sale price of all items going directly to AmeriCares!

Place your bids, everyone! The first round of the auction ends shortly after 11pm Pacific time on April 7th.

Here are the items currently available for bidding – good luck to everyone! (continue reading…)

Behind the Badge with ‘Southland’s’ Michael Cudlitz (CinemaSpy.com / 14 Feb 2011)

http://www.cinemaspy.com/Interviews/Interview-Behind-the-Badge-with-Southlands-Michael-Cudlitz/5024?q=Interviews/Interview-Behind-the-Badge-with-Southlands-Michael-Cudlitz/5024&p=2

If you had to describe John Cooper to someone, or on a profile form, how would you characterize him?

He’s a dick, but you love him [laughs]. John is someone who takes his job very, very seriously. He does not suffer a fool and he doesn’t judge people unless they have put themselves in a position where they’re asking to be judged. And I would say they are hand delivering their stupidity to him. At which point he absolutely refuses not to comment on it.

One of the things that makes this show so enjoyable is the fact that it’s largely unpredictable, which is how life is…

The show, in a lot of ways is not serialized. You can sit down and watch one episode of our show and pretty much know what’s going on with everybody. There are some subtitles that are built up over the course of the show…but you can still watch an episode of the show and get it, and be satisfied by it. What that tends to do is enhance the real life situations and emotional states that we go through. People die. But when people die the entire world doesn’t stop. A guy died today. Well you know what, tomorrow we still have to go out and police the street.
So we don’t necessarily deal with things in a linear fashion that people have become accustomed to on television…and we don’t tie everything up in a neat little bow.
