CBS pilot: Three Rivers -- links, articles and discussion

[coco]

...TV veteran Daniel Attias is directing the pilot, written by Carol Barbee and starring Julia Ormond, Alex O'Loughlin, Justina Machado, Christopher J. Hanke, Katherine Moennig and Daniel Henney. "Wonder Boys" director Curtis Hanson is serving as an executive producer......

Not that I'm complaining, whining or anything but does Ormond's name really need to come before O'Loughlin here??

I guess I am complaining. Where do I file a complaint?

I would say that to most folk (except us) she is the bigger name. She has been in lots of different TV shows and movies and has a high profile so it's only natural at this point. I still maintain that will all change once they've seen him on screen

Hmmm....I'm guessing that Alex will get first billing when the credits run at the beginning of the show and Julia will get that special "with" billing at the end. Just my guess.

And you might be interested in this - it is an audition for a character in the pilot (the mother of a potential organ donor):

I didn't realize who Julia Ormond was until I looked her up on IMBD. She was the lucky woman who had Brad Pitt and Aidan Quinn fighting over her. Now she gets to star with Alex. Some women have it made...

[wondergirl9847]

She's always got men fighting over her! In Sabrina, it was Harrison Ford and Greg Kinnear...more good-looking men. Sheesh.

Got it made...indeed. Lucky . LOL

In First Knight it was Richard Gere and Sean Connery! Lucky gal indeed!

And in First Knight too! Richard Gere and Sean Connery. Not bad!

I just got back from Pittsburgh and, before you ask, had no Alex sighting. But I did spend about eight hours today as an extra on "Three Rivers" and had a total blast.

I, uh, acquired a call sheet and, though Julia Ormond is part of the cast, on the first couple of call sheets, she's not even listed. Alex is first (though he's on a hold - I don't think he starts filming til tomorrow at least).

Just thought I'd share

LOL!! Where have you been Ri... besides Pittsburgh I mean? YOU are like a frikkin bad penny... and I'm delighted you have turned up! And very cool of you to share your experience with us... I'm glad you got on the extra cast and delighted you had a blast.

And Alex films tomorrow. What does "he's on a hold" mean?

I've been up to wicked things, Grace, very wicked things

And I should clarify, I don't know for certain that he films tomorrow. I just know while he is in town, he didn't film today or yesterday. The call sheet said for his call time "Hold" whereas all but two other cast members (they were also marked "hold") have set call times.

Also, when the extras asked the crew who people would know on the cast, everyone said Julia Ormond. Only one of the 2nd A.D.s named Alex

Well that first part went without saying!

Thanks for the hold explanation... but sucky, tho not surprising, that no one seems to know who he is... oh Bob willing they will know soon enough!

Glad it was fun, Ri, tho sorry Alex wasn't on set for you... and that your extra role didn't require a consult with the cardio thoracic doc... come around more often, ok??

[Mags]

So Cool that you got hired as an extra!!!!

Good, I'm glad you were there to ward off evil spirits!
