HOLDING OUT FOR HEROES
"Heroes" star Milo Ventimiglia tells us he's eager for his show to get up and running again, especially after creator Tim Kring apologized to fans for getting off track this season -- but the actor is making sure he stays busy in the meantime.
"Because of the writer's strike we ran out of things to shoot, so we're down right now. Nobody's working. We had our kind of season finale air this past week," notes Ventimiglia. "I don't really have a break. I've got two features I'm doing before Christmas. Plus my production company has two comic books in development as well as getting prepared for when the gates of Hollywood open back up. Of course I'm eager to get back to 'Heroes' because I did not want to stop the show as abruptly as we did, but at the same time there is no lack of work for me."
Ventimiglia certainly has been putting in a lot of time with his company, Divide Pictures, which he co-founded with Russ Cundiff. Their latest project has been producing webisodes for American Eagle Outfitters called "AE Winter Tales," three of which launch today (12/11) at American Eagle Outfitters. "We brought in Kristen Bell, Lil Jon, Adrianne Palicki, and Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz," says Ventimiglia of the stars, who lent their voices to the animated holiday-themed shorts. "You'd be surprised. People were very excited to be a part of it. I called Kristen myself and told her I'd be calling her manager to offer them this, and before I even got to the question she said yes. It's really an encouraging thing." __________________ -Kelly |
