Cold Case Cast Catch-up – February 2015

tracie_thoms_001_430x180Things are still relatively quiet on the news front regarding the other members of the cast of Cold Case.  Like the month itself February 2015’s CCCC-up will be short and cold… I mean sweet.

Luckily for us Tracie Thoms (Kat Miller on CC) is always busy.  Back in the October 2014 CCCC-up we brought you news of a web series that Tracie was due to start working on.  At the time Send Me was seeking funding via Indiegogo.  Over a couple of weeks at the beginning of this month principal photography (that’s filming to you and me) took place on the project about Gwen (Tracie) who has the power to send people back in time.  Gwen uses this ability to teach individuals about slavery in the US by transporting them to the 1800s to witness it first-hand.  As well as Ms. Thoms the show has a starry cast:  Gabrielle Carteris (90210), Jerrika Hinton (Grey’s Anatomy), Jasika Nicole (Fringe), Ahmed Best (Dexter), Kevin Daniels (Sirens), and Steve Harper (Chico & Rita) are amongst them.  Steve also wrote and produced Send Me.  The crew will be deep into post-production now.  Hopefully, in the next CCCC-up, due at the end of March, we’ll know more about the release plans.

Over a couple of CCCC-ups last year (starting in June) I covered the news that big Thom Barry was signed to guest star in the TNT drama series Perception, led by Eric McCormack (Trust Me) and Rachael Leigh Cook (Antitrust).  Thom was said to be appearing as an FBI field office boss.  Subsequent CCCC-ups noted Thoms absence as the season progressed.  Having just returned from the mid-run hiatus there are now only 4 episodes left of the entire series.  Fingers crossed.  On a related note:  congratulations to Rachael and her husband on the news they are expecting their second child later this year.

Who Shot LR?

Cold_Case_S04E24_lilly_195That guy did.  The one with the gun!

It’s not a big mystery.  We are, of course, talking about Stalker the Cold Case season 4 finale in which Ed Marteson draws a gun on the squad in their own building and takes Lilly hostage.  With everything else going on in Lilly’s life (her mother being ill etc.) she needed this situation like she needed a hole in the… err… shoulder.

But why bring this up now?

Joe Reegan the actor who played Ed has done an interview for The Examiner website in which he talks about his role in Cold Case as well has a his work in TV dramas, films and helping to rescue mistreated dogs.

“I did a couple episodes of Cold Case when I first started,” he said. “I ended up doing the season finale with a cliffhanger when I shot Lilly Rush, who was the lead character on the show. The season premiere wasn’t until the next season, so several people came up to me and were like ‘I can’t believe you shot Kathryn Morris!'”

Contrary to expectation it improved his career prospects! :-)

Since taking down Detective Lilly Rush Ed has been in CSI: LV and NY shows, Castle, NCIS, Criminal Minds, Without A Trace, Hawaii Five-0, and Chicago PD.  He will also be in the new Cyber offshoot of the CSI franchise when it starts in March.

Joe is currently promoting a new film Alien Outpost (aka Outpost 37), which is due for a limited release in a few days time.

Cold Case Cast Catch-up – January 2015

jeremy_ratchford_001_430x180It’s the first CCCC-up of 2015 and we’re getting off to a slow start looking at the on-going careers of the cast of Cold Case.

If a month went by and there was news about only one of the key CC cast members then you’d put your money on it being Tracie Thoms (Kat Miller in CC).  If in doubt, Tracie.  I’m sure she’s been very busy since the last CCCC-up, as always, but this month we get to report on just Jeremy.

Almost without me noticing Jeremy Ratchford (Nick Vera in CC) managed to sneak in a guest appearance in the CBS TV drama The Mentalist a couple of weeks ago.  The highly successful show is in the middle of its 7th and final season.  It sees Simon Baker star as Patrick Jane, a con-artist psychic who initially joins forces with the police to catch the killer of his family.  Jeremy’s role in the episode entitled ‘Little Yellow House’ was as a guy called George Holiday.

Short but sweet, I’m sure you’ll agree.

More Cold Case Guest Star Reddit AMAs

Thanks again go to Todd Smitts for keeping an eye out on behalf of the whole Cold Case fan community.

Todd has let me know that a couple more guest stars from the long running CBS drama series will be taking part in Reddit ‘Ask Me Anything’ chat sessions in the next few days.  So, I’m passing it on to you.

First up is Sam Trammell, who played the 1981 flashback version of Porter Rawley in the Cold Case episode Blood On The Tracks (the 15th of season 4).  More recently Sam has had a major role in True Blood, which came to an end last year.  Sam’s acting credits include a large number of well known shows such as House, Bones (the pilot no less), CSI: NY, Numb3rs, Dexter and Medium.  He’s also been seen on the big screen in the likes of last year’s hit movie The Fault In Our Stars.  Sam’s AMA is due to take place at 5pm (EST) on Tuesday the 20th of January.

The Runner (CC season 1, episode 5) guest star Cory Hardrict is scheduled for a Redditt chatting on Friday (23rd Jan) at the earlier time of 2:30pm (EST).  Cory’s career started a few years before Sam’s and he has an equally illustrious and varied CV.  He can count Chicago Hope, Buffy spin-off Angel, NYPD Blue, ER, Without A Trace, Heroes, and Saving Grace amongst his many roles.  That’s not the half of it, I skipped past many other big name shows in making that short list.  Cory is also in movies and is in the current hot topic film American Sniper.

Cold Case Guest Star Reddit AMAs

Welcome to 2015.  How has yours been so far?

I thought we’d start the year with something a little different.

‘Todd Smitts’, a very active member of the Cold Case fan community, has let me know about some CC related items he thought others might like to be informed of.  I’m always happy to help out so here we go.

Several guest stars on Cold Case have Reddit ‘Ask Me Anything’ chat sessions scheduled for the coming week.  Being an old fogey I’m not too familiar with Reddit, but I am sure that you are.  I’m still trying to figure out where the paper goes in this fancy typewriter! :-)

I’ll let him tell you in his own words:

Amber Benson (Julia Hoffman in “Volunteers“, but better known as Tara on “Buffy”) will be doing hers at 3 PM Eastern time on Jan 5.  Johnathon Schaech (Julian Bellowes in “Libertyville“) will be doing his at 4 PM Eastern on Jan 6.

This is great opportunity to ask them about their time working on the show (or anything else you know them from).  Since “Libertyville” happen to be one of my favorite episodes, I’ll definitely be making time for both of those.  I previously got to ask Michael Harney (also from “Volunteers“) and Lindy Booth (the doer from “Wings“) about their guest spots, so I’ll look forward to it.

Looking at the list of the upcoming AMAs I spotted Yara Shahidi who played the 2009 flashback Meesha Sullivan in Cold Case season 7, episode 7, Read Between The Lines.  Yara’s session is scheduled for 5pm (EST) on 7th Jan.

You can find the Reddit IAmA page HERE.

Thanks to ‘Todd’ for letting me know about this.  If you have something you think fellow Kathryn/Cold Case fans would like to know about please let me know using the Contact form.
