WendyCR72 December 2, 2016 Share December 2, 2016 2 hours ago, Maherjunkie said: Yes, but it's not till next winter I don't think. Saw a comment about it. Someone claims to have read the book this was based on. They said the FBI guy in the book is 30s/40s. Noth is great, but he looks...distinguished, shall we say. Still looking great at 60+, but I don't think, based on what I'd seen from Good Wife stills, that he can play a drastically younger guy now. But hey, playing a cop for so many years, at least that should come naturally. Link to comment
Maherjunkie December 2, 2016 Share December 2, 2016 He can transcend that in his sleep. I don't see how the character saves the girl as a kid and is in his 30s/40s now. Link to comment
WendyCR72 December 16, 2016 Share December 16, 2016 Bunch of promotional stills and the synopsis of the upcoming Emerald City - with VDO as the Wizard - is up at Spoiler TV. It is starting on January 6th, 9:00 p.m. ET, on NBC Link to comment

WendyCR72 January 15, 2017 Share January 15, 2017 EGOT actress Rita Moreno [Frances Goren] is part of the updated version of One Day At A Time on Netflix as the mother of the lead actress playing the mom of two kids. Apparently, unlike the original, she lives with her daughter and grandkids. Link to comment
Cobalt Stargazer March 18, 2017 Share March 18, 2017 Channel surfing led me to watch 2011's Kill the Irishman on Starz, where Vincent D'Onofrio plays John Nardi, a Cleveland mobster. He was in reasonably good shape for this, albeit a bit jowly. And in an odd bit of symmetry, Paul Sorvino is in it as well, portraying Tony Salerno. Link to comment

WendyCR72 April 2, 2017 Share April 2, 2017 This film apparently did not get a lot of distribution, but apparently back in the mid '90s, around 1996, VDO did a movie with Gregory Hines called Good Luck. He played a former NFL player who ended up losing his sight after a game-related injury and Hines played a former dental student who was paralyzed after an accident, and they want to enter a white-water rafting race. The description isn't much, but it was a really charming movie! So check it out if you're so inclined. Joe Thiessman, former football player, appears in it as does James Earl Jones, too.

"We're all disappointed in Larry." Yes! I was just coming to post that. Once I saw his face, it immediately clicked. I never knew he was once involved with Melissa Leo (who would appear as the murderous, jealous bio-mother of Gaby Hoffman's character in Season 4's "The Good Child"). He and Leo also shared a kid together. Very prolific résumé for a "Hey, it's that guy!" actor. May Mr. Heard RIP. 1 Link to comment

lilwhitelion November 8, 2017 Share November 8, 2017 I finally binge-watched Stranger Things and loved David Harbour as Police Chief Jim Hopper. He was so memorable as the antique silver thief in Silver Lining and the creepy Christian father in Family Values. Also, took me a while to figure out VDO was in Magnificent Seven. His accent is very different, with a high pitch to his voice. Link to comment

Ironically, his latter role as creepy religious nut father is being shown on ION in the middle of the night at 2:00 a.m. And, yeah, David Harbour was scary there. Funny how the actress, Susan Misner, that played his wife was also in two prior CI episodes. As Becky the Hooker in S1's "Smothered" and as Sister Olivia/Angie DeMarco in "Acts of Contrition" in S5. So "Family Values" had a twofer as far as returning actors went. Link to comment

I saw a picture he took with fans on Twitter, thanking everyone for coming. This side project isn't my thing, but VDO apparently enjoys it, and he's good to and appreciative of said fans, so it's all good. He was also at an event for homeless dogs he and his wife are heavily involved in. One picture of him on Twitter was holding a small dog/puppy. Which only made me like him more. :-) (And it looks like his hair is starting to grow back in again. He just finished up filming S3 of Daredevil.) Link to comment
WendyCR72 May 30, 2018 Share May 30, 2018 Apropos of nothing, and not sure where to place this musing, so I'll just put it here: My cable airing is showing the second eCI episode of three on WE ("Flipped"), yet I have Sling TV on my phone - and it usually shows the same episode. For some reason, though, it is showing the episode that just ended on cable, "Albatross", and is an hour behind. Huh! So...the rapper murder or the Congresswoman trying to off the cheating hubby... :-P 1 Link to comment

Xeliou66 May 31, 2018 Share May 31, 2018 Albatross>Flipped IMO. Flipped was chock full of the odd camera angles and generally weird style of season 6, the storyline was boring, unoriginal and predictable with no real twists or a satisfying resolution, and Ross was an epic douchebag in that one, although he usually was. Albatross was interesting, the plot about the judge being killed during a re-enactment of the Burr/Hamilton duel was cool and there were some twists and memorable characters, not as good as most seasons 1-5 episodes but It had the vintage CI feel to it. This discussion should be in the season 6 thread. Link to comment

WendyCR72 August 23, 2018 Share August 23, 2018 I know the franchise had actors that appeared on each one of the shows, but I must have forgotten that the actress that played Phyllis Van Acker in the S1 episode, "Smothered" actually played a lawyer on the Mothership! I had the Mothership on TV and I heard her rather distinctive voice, and it was her. She did a pretty good job there, even if her character lost. :-P Link to comment

WendyCR72 December 30, 2018 Share December 30, 2018 Huh. Watching the Mothership on WE, and apparently I never have seen this very late episode from S19, "Illegitimate". It was a hoot seeing two CI criminal actors here. One, Kathleen Chalfant, who was Lois Van Acker all the way back in "Smothered" in S1, played a judge giving Rubirosa a hard time. Even as the judge, she seemed to have the upper crust accent. Must just be the way she speaks. The other was Christopher McDonald, who played Evan Korman in S10, in "Icarus" Here, he played the possible illegitimate son of JFK. (Which made this case sort of weird to me!) On a side note, I never knew Rue McLanahan was ever on the franchise, so it was a surprise to see her play McDonald's character's mother. (She seemed to, once again, be using a Southern accent a la Blanche Deveraux.) Link to comment
