This is the end...

of Austin?
Well yeah.

And while the Crazy Tree isn't coming back until 2012, it's not the end of his screen time for 2011.
Beautiful Boy will be coming out on DVD on December 11th. While it might not have had a long theatrical run, movie channels and the video market will be opening it up to a wider audience.

And the big screen? Sometime before the end of year LOL will jump on the big screen and Austin will once again show his teacher skills. (this time with a little bit different hair -right? and not OTH hair, right?)
Happy Austin Friday.

Shooting Gallery

Jake is back to filming and all business, but something about this begs for some funny business.

9. "I'm going to need to probe this thoroughly."

8. "Come this way. "

5. "Did you just turn your head and cough? "

4. "I'm this close to giving a shocker."

3. "To quote that seminal movie classic Holiday in the Sun, 'Check the rear, I think we've got company'" (@5:19 mark)

2. "Oh because my name's Taylor in the movie, you're going to make an 'check my inseam' joke."

and

1. "After a long day at work, I unwind with two fingers of Austin Nichols."

Austin? It's the Crazy Tree connections.

Friend, co-star and fellow Southern Gothic Hilary Burton got her start on MTV.And the big man producer/ director Joe Davola?Well you wouldn't have MTV without some Joe. Why?

Davola began his career by aiding the creation and development of the MTV. He spent seven years there, where he rose to executive producer and head of development. While there,he helped mold the network's direction by producing long form and special live events, including The 1988 Video Music Awards, and created and produced their first original program, Remote Control.Joe was also responsible for these other MTV shows: Singled Out, Road Rules, The Jon Stewart Show, House of Style, The Real World and MTV Sports.

And don't know Austin some out there have suggested you could have a claim to some of that MTV money. You might want to talk to your fellow Austinite Mike Judge about that.
