Ghost Of Xmas Past

on_set_001_ridge_perkettThe 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 Cast Catch-up – December 2013

tracie_thoms_001_430x180Welcome to our final look for 2013 at the careers of other members of the Cold Case cast in what we like to call our Cold Case Cast Catch-up, or CCCC-up for not very short.

Due to her prodigious work rate and willingness to Tweet about it we’ll start, as usual, with Tracie Thoms aka Kat Miller in CC.  I believe that Tracie has completed filming on Annie, the Sony Pictures remake of the musical.  She was photographed by the paps in early December filming on the streets of NY and was back home in LA last week.  Of course Tracie may not have fully completed her work on the project.  There could still be re-shoots, studio based filming, and audio work to do.  It would be quicker to list who is not in this re-telling of the Annie story, suffice to say it is an all-star cast.  See a previous CCCC-up for a few more details.  The film is expected to be released a year from today on the 19th December 2014.  Raze, the Zöe Bell starring fighting females movie, has finally got a release date for the US cinemas.  It is the 10th January 2014.  It originally premièred back in April at the Tribeca Film Festival.  Also starring Rachel Nichols (G.I. Joe) and Sherilyn Fenn (Twin Peaks), Raze is about a group of women incarcerated against their will and forced into unarmed, to-the-death combat with each other.  Clearly not a comedy as this brutal new trailer shows.  Rachel also appears, albeit very briefly if reports are to be believed, in another film of Tracie’s: McCanick.  David Morse is Eugene ‘Mack’ McCanik, an out of control cop hunting for a young criminal played by the late Cory Monteith (Glee Club) in his final role.  It looks like McCanik is already out on DVD and Blu-ray in Australia but a theatre showing is expected in the US in the new year.  In the last couple of days Tracie has Tweeted from Germany.  She’s there as part of a series of events put on to entertain American troops stationed abroad.  Not surprisingly, in Germany in this case.  Tracie is billed alongside the likes of Gary Cole (Veep) and Raven Symone (That’s So Raven).  The AITAF (Arts In The Armed Forces) is behind the trip.  It is their mission to “honor, educate, inspire, and entertain all active duty and veteran members of the United States Armed Forces and their families by engaging them in the power and social service of the performing arts“.  You can read about AITAF on their website.

Kathryn @ The Hollywood Reporter’s Breakfast – Dec 2006

women_in_entertainment_10Or to give it its full title: “The Hollywood Reporter’s 15th Annual Women in Entertainment Breakfast”.  Now there’s a mouthful  :-)

I’ve been trying to keep some of these nostalgia trips roughly in line with the same date that they originally happened.  This post got pushed back more than week by other things so we missed, just.  Kathryn, and her red coat, had breakfast with the Power 100 on the 5th of December back in 2006.  The 2013 edition of this event happened just last week (11th Dec) so we were closer with that one and was attended by lovely ladies such as Angie Harmon (Rizzoli & Isles), Alyson Hannigan (How I Met Your Mother), Gillian Jacobs (Community) and Judy Greer (Arrested Development).  But not Kathryn.

No one knows what actually goes on at these meetings.  Or if they do, they’re not telling us!  You don’t think they actually… eat breakfast do you?!?  :-)

The album in the Gallery has been updated with 5 more photos of Kathryn attending the do.

Magical New Poster For The Coin

Yesterday, the director of the short film The Coin, which stars Kathryn along with Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future) and Jack Ryan Shepherd, published a new version of the movie’s poster.

As you can see below it has a even more ethereal quality than the previous one.  It strikes me as having something of a festive air to it so releasing it now makes sense.  What do you think?
poster_001Fabien has very kindly given KM UK special access to the super-sized version, not posted elsewhere.  You can see it in the Gallery.

Many thanks to Fabien.

The Last Castle

the_last_castle_deleted_scene_020Ideally this post would be another of KM UK’s “Media Alerts” where I post about upcoming broadcasts of Kathryn’s work on British TV, like last week’s posting about A.I. Artificial Intelligence being on over the weekend.

The Rod Lurie (yes, him again) directed film The Last Castle gets its first airing in 18 months on the BBC here in little ol’ England (and Wales and Scotland) this coming Friday (13th Dec 2013) at the ungodly hour of 23:50.  Details of the BBC broadcast can be found on their website.  As KM UK has not covered The Last Castle in its four and a half year history this is a good excuse to finally do so.
