Nov 12th 2009 11:30AM Dutchy, you're suggesting looking to High School Musical for inspiration? Yikes...
Why isn't Artie on Glee played by a disabled actor? {TV Squad}
Nov 12th 2009 10:37AM One other point - nobody was flipping out about Scott Porter playing a paraplegic on Friday Night Lights for 3 seasons.
Or what about Kevin Rankin playing a paraplegic on TWO shows (FNL and Earl) yet he's not disabled. The guy was utterly convincing in both. So much so i had to look him up to see if he's really disabled.

Nov 12th 2009 10:31AM It's easy for people to whine that they're in a supposed minority. A truly gifted actor will be hired for a part because that actor has the skills. There are many actors who have found work in places that don't quite make sense given their size, shape, color, etc. Do you think anyone looked at Danny DeVito and said, "short, ugly, balding, crass... yes this guy will definitely become a movie star, director, producer and makes gajillions of dollars!"?
It's acting. Just because you're tall, that doesn't mean you can dunk and just because one might be in a wheel chair that doesn't mean he can act.

Nov 12th 2009 10:28AM It makes no difference. Hire the actor who plays the part best. This nonsense about disabled actors wanting to be in things BECAUSE they're disabled is crazy. It's called ACTING. Just because you have a disability that doesn't mean you get a niche role automatically.
FOX cancels Dollhouse {TV Squad}
Nov 12th 2009 10:27AM Sometimes shows find a second life on DVD. I introduced many friends to Freaks n Geeks on DVD - they loved it but it was too late. Ditto Veronica Mars or even The Wire.

Nov 12th 2009 10:23AM Her voice is quite a bit better. The show's obvious lip syncing has driven it off our DVR though. If they'd sing and record at the moment rather than pre-record and lip sync we'd still put up with the soap opera elements of the show. Too bad - the pilot was so good.
J.J. Abrams Not Adapting King's 'Dark Tower' Series {Cinematical}
Nov 11th 2009 11:01PM It should be on HBO or Showtime as a series. That'd make more sense.
FOX cancels Dollhouse {TV Squad}
Nov 11th 2009 10:57PM This show had it coming last year. Only because Whedon has some clout did it survive. After last year's finale it deserved death.
REPORT: Lutz to step in as interim Opel chairman {Autoblog}
Nov 8th 2009 4:03PM Yes, put a clueless dinosaur in charge. He did such a great job as exec at GM...you certainly want his fecal touch on another company.
