Messages we got from Scott during our Repo campaign:

A huge thank you to Lea Gaines for passing them on to us!

On May 21st:

Hello all. I want to thank each and every one of you for offering your support on the Repo role. I felt you all in the room yesterday, and I can't tell you how much it means to me that so many have taken up the cause. I am moved beyond words, and I hope to reward all of you with winning the role of Nathan Wallace/Repo Man and giving you all my best on screen. I have never wanted anything more, and a chance to play this role and to work with Darren Lynn Bousman again would be a defining moment in my life to be sure. I am already planning to debut the song 'Legal Assassin' on the David Letterman show when we do press for the movie should I win the role. Gotta think ahead! Again, thanks for your support and keep it coming, gang. We are getting close to the top now! Back to work for me . Love you all. Scott

On May 28th:

I want to say to all of you that I am overwhelmed by the support you are showing me for Repo! The Genetic Opera. The letters, cards, gifts and petitions are so appreciated and I am so moved. Today was the final audition and it all went very well. I want to thank Elaine Overholt - voice coach extraordinaire, and Michael Harahan - acting coach extraordinaire, for helping me shape five songs into what became three Repo auditions over a month long period. I could not have done it without them. Now, we just have to wait and see what happens. I am told they will know something by Wednesday so keep your fingers and toes - and whatever else you can cross - crossed. I would also like to thank Darren Lynn Bousman for giving me the chance to audition in the first place. Also, Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich for creating such a unique and inspiring world as Repo is, and one in which I hope to inhabit on film at the end of August. Also, producers Mark Burg and Carl Mazzocone for considering me for this tour de force of acting roles. I would also like to thank the delightful and hysterically funny Laura for keeping all our spirits up, and finally, Chance the Dog, whose love and support have not gone unnoticed even though he tried to eat cat vomit last night. Special note to the lady who you know as SPA, who drove nine hours to be here to show support at the audition....you are awesome for doing that! You are the best fans in the world and if I get this role I will be doing it for all of you because I sure felt all the support in the room today. Love you all and I will let you know what happens as soon as I know. SP

On June 4th:

To all of you who have supported my quest to be cast as Nathan Wallace in Repo! The Genetic Opera, I am sad to inform you that I am walking away from the project. I put everything I had into it, my team did everything they could but at the end of the day our passion was not matched and instead of waiting any longer for a decision I have decided to move on. I want to personally thank each and every one of you for the tremendous outpouring of support and good wishes. It sustained me through this long and arduous process and I thank you form the bottom of my heart. There are many new and exciting projects around the corner and I am looking forward to rolling the dice once again. You are simply the best fans in the world and I really wanted this for you guys but it truly is time to move on. All the best. SP

I copied some of the postings from this thread and gave them to Scott so he could read them for himself. Let me tell you, he was really touched and said that he feels warmed by the content within them. The producers want marquee names and would rather have a Paris Hilton in the film over SP. They are not interested in passion or talent only money. That is Hollywood in a nut shell. BTW, SP is working on getting the tapes of his two taped auditions for REPO so we can see them. Also, he wants me to tell you again how much he loves you all. You amaze him.

On June 13th:

Hey gang, Just wanted to let you all know that I am currently looking at TV projects from Warner Brothers and will let everyone know as soon as I find something that has my name on it, so to speak. Been traveling a bit with more trips planned for the remainder of June. Also, I made a great new friend while shooting Saw and I think you should all run out and buy her CD's - that is, if there are any opera fans in the tribe. Her name is Measha Bruggergosman and she is one of the top opera stars in the world. She and her husband could not have been more gracious in showing me around Toronto, taking me to the symphony where I saw Itzhak Pearlman conduct Beethoven and then actually meeting him backstage, and taking in La Traviata at the COC. She is an amazing person and I just wanted you all to be aware of her awesome talent. That's all for now. Stay cool this summer and love each other. It's really all that matters. John Lennon was right. A Biento, SP

On July 3rd

Hey Gang! The 'Aliens in America’ train leaves the station in Sept. and I'm gettin' on it! It's a good feeling to be staying with the family at the CW and to work with such talented creators. I had the great good fortune to work with Amy Sherman-Palladino for six years, and now Moses and David. I couldn't be more thrilled. I hope you all enjoy it and I will be checking in periodically to read some posts. Take care and love to all. SP

On September 3rd

Hey Gang, Life is good in Canada! The show is going very well due to the combined efforts of perhaps the best comedy writing staff ever assembled (you can thank reality TV for taking jobs away from some truly gifted artists). So many great writers without jobs and we got some of them. In addition, we have an awesome cast with the precocious trio of Dan Byrd, Adhir Kalyan, and Lindsey Shaw (she will be a big movie star) plus the extraordinarily talented Amy Pietz! We are having a blast and I think you are going to like it. Warning - Gary Tolchuck in no way, shape or form resembles Luke Danes. This guy is a little off center and a little whacky and I love playing him. The writing is superb! Comedy is making a comeback! That's all for now, folks. Take care and tune in Oct. 1st on the CW for Aliens in America. Also, Oct. 26 Saw 4 hits theatres so check it out. Have a good 'ol traditional Halloween scare! It's on me. See ya! Scott.

Your welcome
And I am hoping with you

[KbatMO]

Thanks, Es! I fear December's going to be quiet on the SP front. Maybe that's when he'll catch up on interviews ... and maybe the strike will be over. Talks have resumed. Then there's always a winter party thrown by the network --> new event pix in January.

P.S. Sorry if this is the wrong thread but it could be news: I got my S7 DVD - haven't watched it yet (though of course I saw them all.) Read about the extras - didn't sound extraordinary.
Big gulp for the 1st 2 episodes and a few in-between ... though I love the beg. of 7.02.......
ANYway - has anyone bought the new box set of all 7 seasons?
If so ... are there any extras not in the individual season DVD sets ... and specifically is there anything new with Scott/Luke????
Thx!

[pinkpaisley]

Thanks for the thread, Es!

I guess the SP Happenings can be updated.

I don't have the capability of doing this, but wouldn't it be nice to have a banner for this thread? Juicy pics of Scott. (Those who don't know -- teach!!)

I'm hoping that with the sudden burst of popularity for Scott, that this is his chance to get recognized by media outlets. Magazine and online articles are good -- tv recognition is a tad bit better. Let's hope for that in the month of December -- fruits of our labor as well (you think??)

This thread will definitely get a banner!

Latest strike news ... the Broadway stagehands went back to work today....

And(!) - headline late this afternoon on tvweek.com- "ABC News and Union Writers Agree to New Contract"

This is the first major break in the strike. Let's hope it's a sign that the strike will be over within the next couple of weeks. If it is - I'll speculate: we might get a full season (22 eps.) of Aliens in America between now and next June!!!!

[SPA]

I like -- no -- love this news. Dare we hope for other networks to follow ABC's lead???? Really keeping fingers crossed now.

[Pasadora]

Definitely good news. Keeping fingers crossed!!

I hope FOX will follow soon. Me wants a full season of Bones!!

[KbatMO]

Sorry for the whiplash (my neck hurts!) ... but the news is better now than it was earlier this a.m. The news I reported yesterday is still true. Plus - Carson Daly is resuming his shows - and getting flack for it - but he can't afford to stay off the air any longer. It would probably be a career killer. Conan O'Brien just vowed to keep paying his staff of 80 through year-end.

Early this a.m. the producers announced they've put a fantastic deal on the table. (hopeful!) The writers scoffed! ... Variety's headline was "Pause in talks" (deflated!) Latest a few minutes ago - the writers are re-reviewing ... maybe the offer's not that bad..........

Caught an interview with the great (maybe greatest?!!) TV producer, Norman Lear. [He's promoting a website that's trying to get the 18-25'ers to vote!!! App.ly, they've found that if people in that age bracket do vote, they are far more likely to keep on voting than those who don't. Probably much more relevant to American - apologies to European friends, whose turnouts are at least 80% I think. Less than 50% of eligible American voters bother to vote ... and that's for president, which = the highest turnout! Non-pres. elections are much lower! Really sad.....] So Lear was asked about the strike. He thinks the writers have the upper hand. "No words, no show!" He also pointed out that 90%+ aren't the highly paid writers, and the strike is real financial hardship for them. Also for ancillary services - the hairdressers, florists, drycleaners, you name it - whose businesses/livelihoods depend on these shows being in production/on the air.

Karen -- our little reporter !!! I am enjoying how you are reporting the news.

Keeping fingers crossed. Makes it difficult to eat food.
