Paul and Julie Ben-Victor

Paul Ben-Victor’s wife, Julie, has given us a heads up about a couple of projects. Here’s what she has to say:

Hey Everyone!  It’s a great week for the BV’!  Sunday is the Season Finale of In Plain Sight where I have one cute little line, and my hubbie tries his hardest to save the day…once again! Check it out on USA Network at 10 PST.  Also Should’ve Been Romeo is finally a locked picture…where I play Dr Wonder and Paul plays a grouchy actor (stretch I know…).  Starring my hubbie, Carol Kane, Ed Asner, and lots and lots of other great talent!  Stay tuned for more info on that!

So please show your support for this fantastic couple and tune in tomorrow to In Plain Sight on USA!  I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait for Should’ve Been Romeo!

Paul in a Stage Reading Tomorrow

Sorry this is so last minute, but I only found out about this yesterday.  For those of you in the LA area, Paul Ben-Victor will be performing Thursday, September 10 (tomorrow), in a stage reading of Last I Heard, Dave Rodriguez’s latest feature screenplay.  Also appearing in the reading is Paul’s wife Julie Ben-Victor.

Synopsis:  Mafia capo Joseph ‘MR. JOE’ Scoleri (Paul BenVictor), comes home to Queens, NY after serving almost 20 years in federal prison. He tries to re-connect with his daughter RITA (Kathrine Narducci) and establish a relationship with his neighbor BOBBY (Erik Palladino), who was a young boy when he went away, and is now married with a young son. He realizes through those relationships and other situations, that nothing is the same as it was before he went away.

The reading is from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at the Hayworth Theatre.  The address is:

Hayworth Theatre
2511 Wilshire Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA

Paul Ties the Knot!

Some of you may have already heard this news, but for those of you who haven’t, you may be happy to know that on July 5, Paul Ben-Victor married Julie Austin Felder!  

I would have gotten this notice up earlier, however, I’ve been having ongoing computer problems.  But I want to thank Julie Ben-Victor, BB Fenix of Pure PR Associates, and Marc Bennett for being so gracious and allowing me to share the following pictures and video with all of you.

The wedding took place at a Los Angeles yacht club under a large white tent.  Most of the guests wore white.  It was a beautiful setting.  There were so many wonderful pictures to choose from that I had a hard time deciding which ones to pick, but I can only post a few so, first up, here are the happy couple.  Don’t they make a lovely pair?

Here are Paul and Julie lip-syncing to their own pre-recorded voices.  What fun!

 

Not surprisingly, there were several celebrities in attendance, but since this blog focuses on the I-Man cast, there is one in particular that I know all of you are interested in:  Vincent Ventresca.  Check out the photos!
