SWLinPHX I worked 2 days on this shoot (July 11-12) and we had to wait so long to get that darn dog to finish up, LOL. I was Patrick Dempsey's stand-in for the "Grey's" shoot then Josh Holloway's for "Lost" (for those of you who don't know, stand-ins are people of similar body type, hair, height and complexion that do all the camera blocking & lighting to practice w/the director & crew, then when the stars arrive in full hair, wardrobe & make-up we show them what to do. They shot the dog and "General Hospital" that day too. It was strange having the stars sit around watching us do the shoot first. I remember those fans blowing on us for "Lost" and the concern over whether Knight and Chambers would miss the gurney when they hopped on backwards. Pompeo and Holloway introduced themselves to me and Heigl was stunning in her outfit. Dempsey was more quiet and reserved, though he somehow figured out I was his stand-in before he was ever told. I clocked out late the second day but stayed to watch all the "Desperate Houswives" do the final one. They all looked great and here's an inside scoop: Huffman and Delaney arrived late (I left when Huffman showed up not yet in makeup & wardrobe) so they are at either end, digitally superimposed with the others, as are the 3 secondary cast members on the right side on "Grey's", though they WERE there at the same time. Mickey Rooney's son choreographed the "Housewives" number (much of it cut) and I talked to him a lot. I wish I had a copy of the one we filmed first. This was actually more fun than some on-camera work I've done, and the only way I'll probably be able to be on a hit TV show, LOL! -

Video: ABC Fall Promo
Ugly Betty News —
While watching my favorite summer distraction the other day (I Survived a Japanese Game Show) I was quite disheartened to see the promo for ABC’s fall 2008 season. I kept waiting and waiting for Ugly Betty to show up, but there was no Betty.
Luckily, today I found the 60-second version, and there is Betty in all her glory: ...

Network Fall Promo Spots
TV Chatting —
It’s almost time for the fall television season. It’s been a long wait for some of the shows due to the strike, so a lot of us are getting really excited and counting the days.
The networks are trying to stir up that excitement with catchy promos for their fall seasons. I posted this one at Watching Heroes the other day from NBC which is set to Krystal Meyer’s tune “Make Some Noise.”
Then we have ABC’s promo, which I think is very nicely done. They’ve opted for a classic tune, “September” by Earth, Wind and Fire. This video quality leaves ...
