After such a busy January focussing on our headline act (that’s Kathryn) we managed to not do a post like this. So, we’ll get one in early for February 2013. It is time for another quick round-up of news on the other members of the Cold Case cast.
The banner image clearly wants us to talk about Tracie Thoms (Det. Kat Miller in Cold Case) first, and we wouldn’t want to go against its will now would we? 
At the end of January the ever-busy Tracie had a one night stand, that is to say that a feature film she starred in had a single night viewing across the US. Further explanation is clearly necessary. A 2009 (released in 2011) documentary film called One Night Stand: Creating A Play In A Day charting the creation of four musicals in just one day had a special nationwide showing in over 400 cinemas on the 30th of January. Groups of writers, directors, composers and actors created, wrote and rehearsed short musicals. After just 24 hours they had to perform their pieces. Staying with Tracie, she recently had a guest starring role in the already cancelled CW network TV series Emily Owens M.D. Thirteen episodes of the medical drama were produced. All will be aired and that will be that. Tracie was in episode 11, Emily And The Teapot. The lead actress in Emily Owens M.D. is Mamie Gummer. Daughter of a little known actress called Meryl Streep. Mamie will next be seen in the movie The Lifeguard, which brings us to…
Co-star of The Lifeguard John Finn (Lt. John Stillman in Cold Case). Appearing with Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars), John plays Big Jason, so called because his name is Jason, obviously At this time we don’t know how Big Jason fits into the plot but as one of the main characters is a teenager called Little Jason, I think we can hazard a guess there is a father/son relationship in there somewhere. Recently receiving its première at the Sundance Film Festival, The Lifeguard sees Kristen playing Leigh, a journalist who quits her job and heads back to her home town. Leigh ends up in an inappropriate relationship with the aforementioned Little Jason (sadly for John, not a euphemism 😮 ). The film, which is the directorial début from Cold Case writer and producer Liz W. Garcia (she also wrote and produced it), has had mixed reviews so far. When the film will get a general release is not known a this time.
Things have gone quiet on the feature film Lost On Purpose, starring Jeremy Ratchford (Det. Nick Vera in Cold Case), since the première screening last October in the Hollywood Film Festival . The film’s Facebook page (get there via its website) says that it will be playing at the Fargo Film Festival held in, surprise surprise Fargo, North Dakota in March.
As we mentioned in the previous CCC-up Texas Chainsaw 3D, starring Thom Barry (Det. Will Jeffries in Cold Case), opened across much of the world in early January. Despite some quite poor reviews from the critics the film did pretty well at the box office.
