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 and Frances Fisher are now starring in Michael Rimi’s production Sexy Laundry at the Hayworth Theatre in Los Angeles. Sexy Laundry is described as a “saucy, hilarious and extremely touching look at making love in middle age.” Here’s a peak at the play’s poster.
Sexy Laundry opens February 8 and runs through March 16. Previews started February 1, but there is still time to catch the last preview tomorrow, February 7. Performances run from Thursday to Saturday at 8:00 p.m. A couple of special performances have been added on Saturday, February 9, at 2:00 p.m. and Wednesday, February 13, at 8:00 p.m.
Venue:

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.
It appears that Paul Ben-Victor is at the Sundance Film Festival right now. I came across a picture of him posted on the Movie Every Day website blog. The picture was taken yesterday. Currently, I don’t have any information as to whether one of his movies is playing at the festival or not.
To see the picture, scroll through the photos posted in the blog post entitled “2008 Sundance Film Festival Day 4” until you get to Paul. He’s in the second to the last photo.
Here’s a quick heads up to any fans in Texas. Two of Paul Ben-Victor’s films are scheduled to be shown at the Austin Film Festival within the next week.
On The Doll will be shown twice. Once on Friday, October 12, at 7:30 p.m. and again on Monday, October 15, at 9:30 p.m.
Randy and the Mob will be shown on Saturday, October 13, at 7:30 p.m.
The Austin Film Festival starts tomorrow, October 11, and runs through October 18. For information on passes, badges, venue locations, etc., visit the Austin Film Festival website.
I’m always disappointed when I find out news about the cast or crew after the fact and, unfortunately, that’s what happened here. Yep, Paul Ben-Victor was a guest star on Shark last week. But even though this bit of news slipped by me, there is a silver lining.
Thanks to the fact that Shark episodes are being streamed online, we still get to watch the episode! So go to the official Shark website, scroll down a bit to “Watch Full Episodes of Shark,” and click the “View Now” button. Choose the “For Whom the Skel Rolls” episode and sit back and enjoy Paul’s performance.

Paul Ben-Victor will be appearing on stage for one night only on Monday, September 24, at 8:00 p.m. to perform a staged reading of Machiavelli. The reading is a part of The Hayworth Theatre’s Bruno Kirby Celebrity Reading Series.
From Playbill comes this description: “Set in Florence in the early 1500s, Machiavelli centers on a military police major and his wife who ‘must use their wits to navigate the outrageous whims and violent behavior the Medici family… as well as their own daughter’s shocking rebellion,’ according to production notes.”
Tickets are $15. Parking is $7. For reservations visit Brown Paper Tickets or call 213-389-9860.
