I hired a blonde!

When I was working on "Angels on Fire" this past fall, Vanessa Parker pointed something out to me... A couple weeks before we started filming, she said, "We have a very brunette-y cast, have you noticed?" I looked at the actors I was about to work with and she was right. Then it got me thinking. I went back and looked at all the films I'd made up to that point. What I found made me laugh.

In five movies, I've only hired two blondes. All my movies are filled with brunettes. I've also only hired two redheads. Just two blondes. Not that I have anything against blondes. Hell, my wife's a blonde. I'm not sure why it's the case, but in all the movies I've made, Inga Antonio (in "Dorian") and Tanya Mironowski (in "Macbeth" and "Between the Raindrops") are the only blondes I've worked with.

This is a round-about way of telling you that I've cast another blonde... Take that, Nessa! The very talented and absolutely gorgeous (and, yes, BLONDE!) Anne Troup has been hired to play Lily in "People Like Us".



Along with breaking my anti-blonde streak, this also means we're back to being fully cast! For those who have lost track, here is the cast list:

SARAH - Rachel Stander

MATT - James Barry

DIANA - Alma Saraci

JULIA - Kira McGregor

RICK - Clay Dzygun

LILY - Anne Troup

JOEL - Vincent Kirk

RENEE - Jodi Jacobs

ROSEMARIE - Jessy Smith

BRUCE - Thom Houghton

We start shooting again on Saturday. It'll be Alma's first day and Jodi's only day... I'll be back on Sunday to report. Stay tuned!
