Was Austin's tweet yesterday a hint about his future? Or future projects?
Hey guys. Watch my friend's show tonight. COUGAR TOWN. They need us. It looks like Austin might have been dropping a hint in his tweet yesterday and made a new friend from the cast of CougarTown.
After a tweeting with former JFC castmate Garrett Dillahunt, earlier this year about the possibility of working together, OMG wondered if it could be on Dillahunt's show Raising Hope.But it is far from that, and looks more like it is a "Talhotblond" reuniting the pair, under the direction of the Queen of CougarTown Courtney Cox.
They just wrapped filming "Talhotblond", which is based on the Barbara Schroeder documentary of the same name about the true life story of "an older man and a young girl who start an online chatting session that leads to a year of sexually-charged deceit and lies and ends in murder." It sounds simple in its premise but it's not -- far from it.Schroeder took the top doc prize at the 2009 Seattle International Film Festival, and Cox is taking on dramatizing the story for her TV movie directing debut.
She has said that she didn’t want to make a typical TV movie, and that she wants it to have the "American Beauty" feel and look that will resonate with a wide range of viewers."
Austin 's buddy Dillahunt, who was the Doc on JFC, plays Thomas Montgomery "a retired Marine with two children and a wife of 15 years falls in love online with an 18-year-old virgin" and is "led to do things that he could never have imagined."
To say this story has a twist is an understatement. And like it has been said many times you can't make this stuff like this up.
What will role will Austin have, tough to say, will he be one of Montgomery's co-workers, one of the investigators, or another online gamer. Guess we will have to wait and see if Mr. N drops anymore hints.
Courtney will have worked with 3 of the JFC crew now... can we suggest getting Luiz Guzman on CougarTown to take on Bobby (Brian Van Holt aka Butchie) for King of PennyCan? 
Here is the trailer for the documentary "Talhotblond"
Lifetime's version will come out later this year.
It looks like Austin and Lifetime are enjoying working together, this is Austin's third Lifetime movie, following the great success of 'Prayers for Bobby" with Sigourney Weaver
and last years award winning movie "Five" under the direction of Demi Moore for vignette starring Annie Potts.
It does say a lot about Austin that he gets return work again and again with the network and that he is on projects working first time directors.
Think it shows that he is a hard working professional who is a team player that can be counted on.
One thing about Austin you will hear over and over again, that is that he's not just a good actor but a great person, and how everyone who works with him wants to work with him again. It's not just the cast or directors who say that but the crew as well. He is a respected guy in front and behind the camera. And he respects everyone he works with too. In all the stories, gossip and talk about Austin there has never been a bad word about from the cast or crews he has worked with, everyone likes that big tall Texan. And how can you blame them?

And while Austin is not a tall hot blond this time
it looks like he was quite temptation for couple of people on this gag reel of the last season of OTH.
Paul Iacono, the 23-year-old star of MTV's The Hard Times of RJ Berger, has come out of the closet in an interview with the Village Voice's Michael Musto. Iacono, who's starring in a new play at NYC's Ars Nova called Justin Sayre Is Alive And Well...Writing and a new MTV show called Kenzie's Scale, tells Musto, "I think it's the right time to say something."
ReplyDeleteIacono says he grew up in a traditional Italian family and pretended he was straight after his dad found an email he had written to a male date, but came out to them a few years later. His character in Kenzie's Scale realizes he's gay after moving to NYC to attend college. He tells Musto:
The whole reason we came up with Kenzie's Scale is to give young gays characters to look up to. It's great that we have Chris Colfer, but we need more characters. I was so moved by your comment on Facebook that 'If I'd grown up with gay TV icons that were out, I'd have been so much better off.' I didn't have much to look up to as a kid. I had to search to find like-minded images. I'm happy to be that person so kids won't have to grow up and be afraid of their sexuality and this won't be an issue.
Adds Iacono:
I believe that in 100 years, none of us will be having to identify ourselves as gay, straight, bi, or otherwise. Sexuality will be a more fluid thing. The show is a progressive outlet of that idea.

ReplyDelete^^ Don't tell some Straight and Some GAY people this. You'll have a big fight on your hand. LOL
Remember, I said Some!
That plot sounds very intruiging. Lets hope Austin lands a prominent role.
ReplyDeleteWalked into a mess at the office this AM. As I entered I saw our CEO, who has never visited since we moved to new space a year ago, 2 HR people and staff milling around with grim faces. Sure enough they laid of 50% of the staff and are consolidating operations to the home office. The good news is that I am spared and will continue to work, but from home. My cute protege too. We generate revenue and so are needed. Working from home is actually ideal. But we were also told that our parent wants to sell us, sooner rather than later, so who knows what will happen next. I just need to nurse out one more year so fingers crossed. Some very good people let go though so a sad day.
Jake and Austin have vacillated for a long time between in and out so no surprise if they got scared and retreated. And they both need work, so the timing may not be the best.

sorry for the double post, hit publish twice by accident
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul Iacono. Sweet.
ReplyDeleteAustin a blonde? Nah.....
The workforce is constantly changing. I am like you m getting close to the time when I wont have to worry about those types of things anymore.
Nice story about Paul Iacono.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the mess at work M, that's tough, 50% of the office is a lot! Glad you and your protege survived.
It's great that Austin gets such steady work. Sorry the same can't be said about Jake.
Not a JFC fan here. I thought that show was not well written.
ReplyDeleteI guess other viewers and HBO felt as I did and cancelled the show.
Austin being in that show was not enough for me to keep an interest.
I know Ed O'Neil was so glad it did get cancelled.
Modern Family is well written and most of the cast except Ed have won Emmys. Although IMO he should have won.
It's great that Austin gets such steady work. Sorry the same can't be said about Jake.
ReplyDeleteOf course, Jake can work. He just chooses not too. Austin's not even that good of an actor so you can see how his connections get him in the door. Jake's long absences from moviemaking actually started after the cover of Reeke disappeared. That tells me that Jake is probably the primary caregiver in that family.
Agreed.Austin works steadily,but still a d-list actor.
ReplyDeleteAll Jake have to do is choosing right project with good directors.
After watching the shoses MV,I want to Jake's different side in Movies.The Enemy is a good test.
Austin isn't D list. He's C list. He could be B list for TV if he got on the right project.
ReplyDeleteDJ in Seattle this morning played The Shoes song, said how gory the video was, then name-dropped that he'd gotten to know Jake's Dad pretty well the past few years and he was "one of the nicest people in the world." This is seattle's favorite, most popular DJ, John Richards (also DJs in NYC).
So. Papa Gyllenhaal is a nice guy.
