Adventures of a Fan Turned Producer
Have any of you had a chance to look around the In Plain Sight official website? If not, there are some great video interviews with Paul Ben-Victor that you should check out. In the third video Paul talks about being an actor and I have to say I really admire his philosophy and attitude about what he does for a living.
To view the videos click on the link below and scroll down the page a bit until you get to Paul’s videos.
This is very last minute and I realize that for those of you on the East coast this may be coming too late, but I just found out that Vincent Ventresca is a guest on tonight’s episode of In Plain Sight! Yep, Vince and Paul in the same show again. How cool is that?! I wonder if they will have any interaction?
In Plain Sight is on tonight at 10:00 p.m. (9:00 p.m. Central) on USA. The episode is entitled “Hoosier Daddy” (how fitting). If for some reason you missed it, do check the In Plain Sight website for air dates of repeats of this episode.
Last, but by all means not least, I want to give Elaine a big huge thanks for giving me the heads up on this.
My does time fly when you’re busy working on a film. Tomorrow is the premier of Paul Ben-Victor’s new series In Plain Sight! Not long ago it seemed so far off, and now it’s already here. Funny how that happens.
So I’ve been checking out the reviews and the critics run the range from like it to hate it. Jonathan Storm from Philly.com describes the show as “formulaic, but it works” and manages to insult and compliment Paul all in one sentence:
Mary’s boss is Stan McQueen, which, I guess, is funny because he’s played by schlumpy, shrimpy Paul Ben-Victor, a great character actor last seen as henchman to The Greek, the all-powerful crime boss in The Wire.

Fanbolt has a great interview with Paul about his new series and he does mention Invisible Man in it, more than once.
So be sure to check out Paul’s new series, In Plain Sight, tomorrow night, June 1, 2008, at 10:00 p.m. (9:00 p.m. Central) on USA.

Fellow Invisible Man fan, Laura M., wrote a nice little profile piece about Shoom Zone Productions and my project in her blog Musings of a Grown Woman. Go check it out!
While you’re there, check out the rest of her blog. Laura is a very talented writer who is currently working toward her Ph.D. in English. Besides being an Invisible Man fan, Laura is also a huge Moonlight fan; and most of her blogging is about the show, its stars, and the fandom’s efforts to get Moonlight renewed. Yep, another fan campaign.
Moonlight is doing quite well in the ratings; and while it looks promising that the show will get renewed, the fans are not taking any chances. Instead of waiting till their show gets cancelled, they are playing it smart and supporting their show while it’s still on top.
