Looking back at last month’s Cold Case Cast Catch-up (aka CCCC-up), as I do to refresh my memory of upcoming things and check for updates, I spotted a lot of (now corrected) typos. Not my best work. This month I’ll try to make fewer mistooks as we look at the on-going careers of the other stars of Cold Case 
The one bit of Danny Pino (Scotty Valens on CC) news last time out was his nomination in the 2014 Imagen Awards, which celebrate the portrayal of Latino culture in the media. Danny is up for his role on the long-running TV series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. The show is due to start its 16th season, Danny’s 4th, in the autumn. The Imagen awards are taking place on Friday (August 1st). Good luck to all those nominated, especially Danny.
It looks like the indie movie Death Valley, which sees Jeremy Ratchford (Nick Vera on CC) don a cop uniform, was screened for a select few people earlier this month. So far there is no actual release date listed for the film. Hopefully the screening will boost the film’s profile and help with distribution etc.
At the time of writing there has been no sign of Thom Barry (Will Jeffries on CC) making his debut on the TNT drama series Perception. We reported last month that Thom had scored a recurring role as a senior FBI field office boss. Perception stars Will & Grace‘s Eric McCormack as neuropsychiatrist with schizophrenia Daniel Pierce who assists the FBI with difficult cases through his ex-student, and now FBI Special Agent, Katie Moretti played by Rachael Leigh Cook (Josie & The Pussycats). This week’s episode was number seven of the season’s 12 so there are still a few to go. Maybe next week.
The complicated history of the Irish drama An Bronntanas which stars John Finn (John Stillman in CC) is becoming a little clearer. Made last year as a five part drama series it was due to be shown early in 2014. That time came and went. A couple of weeks ago (as reported previously) a 2 hour film edit was screened on the closing night of the Galway Film Fleadh (festival). Apparently it went down a storm (pun very much intended). Now it is looking like the 5 episode version will be broadcast over the Xmas period on the TG4 Irish TV network that part-funded the production.
I doubt those of you interested need to be reminded by me but writer and producer on CC Veena Sud‘s follow-up show The Killing will start the end on Friday. The drama, which was on the AMC network for its first three seasons, was picked up by the Netflix streaming service for one more short six episode run. After a very successful first season the show has been a mixed bag for viewers who, I’m sure, hope it goes out on a high. Of course if it is a success for Netflix (they never release audience figures) who knows if it really will be the last that will be seen of it. On a side note: just last week the lead actress Mireille Enos (World War Z) gave birth to her second child with husband Alan Ruck (Spin City). Congratulations to them both.
It almost feels wrong to do so but I am going get through a CCCC-up without mentioning Tracie Thoms (Kat Miller on CC). Damn! So close!
