Paul Ben-Victor, as well as co-star Frances Fisher, have received high praise from Variety for their performances in Sexy Laundry. It’s great to see Paul recognized for his talent! Here are a few excerpts from the article:
Canadian scripter Michele Riml is fortunate to have such accomplished pros as film/stage vets Frances Fisher and Paul Ben-Victor inhabiting the personas of sexually challenged mid-lifers Alice and Henry…
Fortunately, Fisher and Ben-Victor are more than up to the task of realizing all the emotional twists and turns while investing a rollicking humor into the Alice/Henry travails.
It is a tribute to Ben-Victor’s craftsmanship that Henry’s emotional turnaround in the perplexing final scene makes the scripter’s feel-good ending actually seem plausible.

We’ve finally got some news about Paul Ben-Victor’s new series In Plain Sight. Today, NBC/Universal announced in a press release the date the series will air. So mark your calendars for Thursday, April 24, 2008, at 10:00 p.m./9:00 p.m. Central on the USA Network.
Paul plays the boss of the main character, Mary Shannon, in this series. I’m not sure at this point if Paul is a series regular, if it is a recurring role, or something else.

Paul Ben-Victor is again reprising his role of Spiros “Vondas” Vondopoulos in tonight’s episode of The Wire. The episode is entitled “Transitions” and it airs tonight at 9:00 p.m. on HBO. But do check the schedule as the episode will be repeated several times throughout the week.
You’ll want to tune in to next week’s episode also because Paul will be in this one too. The episode is called “Reaction Quotes” and it will air beginning at 9:00 p.m. next Sunday, February 3, 2008, with repeats also airing throughout the week.
And thank goodness for those repeats. I found out almost too late that Paul was also in last week’s episode entitled “Not for Attribution.” Fortunately, they are repeating this episode twice tomorrow at 9:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m., so you still have a chance to watch it. Again, check the schedule for the time in your area.
