“In Plain Sight” Renewed

Good news for In Plain Sight and Paul Ben-Victor fans!  The USA Network has picked up In Plain Sight for not one, but two more seasons!  This brings the show’s run to five seasons total. Paul Ben-Victor and the rest of the main cast, including Mary McCormack and Frederick Weller, are all set to return to the show, which will continue to film in New Mexico.  So now we get to enjoy watching Paul play Stan McQueen for at least two more seasons!

Two “Invisible Man” Alums to Appear in “Should’ve Been Romeo”

Take a look at the picture below. It’s a reading for the upcoming film Should’ve Been Romeo. Now we already know that Paul Ben-Victor is in this movie (it’s his movie after all), but check out who is sitting right next to him. Yep, that’s the wonderful Eddie Jones! How great is this? Two I-Man actors together again!

Many thanks to David Levy for allowing me to share this picture with you.

Here’s a great interview that Paul recently did for Media Blvd Magazine.  In it he gives a real nice shout out to The Invisible Man and its fans. 

He, also, talks about his new movie Should’ve Been Romeo.  After years of development, it’s great to hear that Paul has secured financing for the movie, so it’s a go!  Awesome!
