Cold Case – Book Him… Danno?

Speaking of Hawaii Five-O… No, actually that (including in its 2010 revived form) is one of the few recent cop-shows that Jerry Bruckheimer has not had anything to do with.

In late October of last year we saw one of the few public appearances in 2013 by Kathryn. The event was the launch of Jerry Bruckheimer: When Lightning Strikes – Four Decades Of Filmmaking, a book chronicling the life of film and TV producer extraordinaire Jerry Bruckheimer. Jerry and his company JBTV are behind such TV shows as the CSI triumvirate and, of course, Cold Case. The book was on sale from mid-December.

In that previous post I used the word ‘tome’ just as another word for book. However, the more correct usage in referring to large, heavy books was more accurate than I could have thought. The phrase ‘weighty tome’ would be more appropriate. It’s not so much a coffee table book, more of a coffee table. Stick four legs on it and you’ve got a significant piece of furniture. At 41.5 x 28.2 x 3cm (16.3 x 11.1 x 1.2″) it’s a whole lot of book. Roughly A3-sized for those outside the US. And it weighs a fair bit too so you get a lot of book for your money.

I won’t bore you with too much detail but When Lightning Strikes covers Jerry’s whole life as well as his career in film and TV through words as well as hundreds of photos from behind the scenes as well as stills from dozens of projects. Fans of the Pirates Of The Caribbean films (how many of been released? four? with at least two more on the way! that’s films not fans 😉 ) will be particularly interested in a foreword by Johnny Depp and whole section dedicated to the monster franchise.

So what about Cold Case and our Kathryn?

Ghost Of Xmas Past

The lucky young gentleman you see here (larger version in the Gallery) getting a hug from Kathryn is Ridge Perkett. You may recognise him from the episode of Cold Case called Ghost Of My Child, the finale (episode 18) of season 5. That was the season that had fewer episodes than the normal 22-24 due to a writers strike that hit much of Hollywood during the 2007-2008 production runs.

Spoiler Alert: In a memorable scene at the very end of Ghost Of My Child, Lilly and Scotty take Max (Ridge) back to his biological parents, letting him out of her car and pointing across to them.

Ridge featured many episodes of the very long running soap opera The Bold And The Beautiful as Ridge “RJ” Forrester Jr., the son of Brooke Logan Forrester (played by Katherine Kelly Lang). There can’t be many Ridges in the world and but this boy becomes an actor and managed to land a role with the same name. As is often the case with child actors there have been several RJs over the years. Perkett had the job from 2006 to 2009.

The website Star Kidz is all about ~~kidz~~ kids that… star in daytime and primetime television shows. The last few days they’ve run a series of short interviews with some of their subjects, including Ridge, as a countdown to Xmas 2013. On Friday it was Ridge’s turn and in the piece (“5 Days Til’ Christmas!“*) he was asked:

8. What was it like working with Kathryn Morris on Cold Case?

Kathryn Morris was super nice, she showed me around the set before we started filming and helped me not be afraid and nervous.

Awww.

Happy Xmas Ridge.

* There are no direct links to the article so I’ve used an archive link to reduce it to ones about the character of RJ. You need to scroll down to find the piece. Search the page for ‘ridge’ .

Cold Case Season 2 Promo Photo Embiggening

I can’t carry off the black polo next and blue jeans with quite the confidence of Steve Jobs but can bring a surprise “one more thing” to the KM UK Summer Of HD 2013, which ended last week.

It took me a while to remember why a long-standing reminder to update the Cold Case season 2 promo photos even existed. The images are already in the Gallery and at quite a high resolution too. I had forgotten that KM UK’s old hosting limited the image size. The images had been shrunk to fit. Part of the reason for making the move back in May of 2010 was to accommodate images of any size to bring you the best available.

As we have just finished a retrospective of Cold Case season 2 it makes sense to finally bring you a super-sized upgrade to the promo photos from that year. Number two is a massive 3750×5000 pixels. Plus, we have a new small photo (see above).

5 enlarged promo stills and 1 new addition can now be found in the Gallery.

Cold Case S02E23 – The Woods Full HD Screencaps

Summer is not officially over in the UK and the English summer has rallied somewhat as we entered October. Still, after five months we have finally come to the end of KM UK’s Summer Of HD 2013. We’re going out in style though.

Normally I’d give a short précis of the episode here but this is The Woods. ‘Nuff said.

405 Full HD (1080p) Lilly screencaps and 3 promo stills from the episode can now be found in the Gallery.

Join us in 2014 for the next instalment.

Cold Case S02E22 – Best Friends HD Screencaps

The case in Best Friends was one of the oldest that Cold Case covered in its 156 episodes. It is also one of the fans favourites and is often cited for the emotional effect on the viewers.
