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

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.

Thanks for the new thread,

Any news if Scott will be at the SAG awards?

[Brilliant Disguise]

I have a feeling that the answer will be no, but who knows...
I hope he will attend though

[Pasadora]

Thanks for the new thread, Es.

And yeah, I don't think he will attend...

[pinkpaisley]

Thanks for the new thread, Es! I edited out the happenings, since there aren't any and the ones that were listed were all for last summer.

[Brilliant Disguise]

Cool, thanks!

[crazyboutscott]

Thanks for the new thread...I hope we get some news so we can fill it

[SPA]

New Thread, New News (hopefully positive -- the power of positive thinking)

I'm uncertain about Scott's attendance at the awards as well. It seems as though the actors are locked in solidarity with the writers (as it should be). Awaiting news like everyone else.....

But the SAG awards are okay, they are one of the few shows to get a waver from the WGA, so now picket lines.

[crazyboutscott]

I didn't know that lancer, so maybe there is a chance to see Scott!

[KbatMO]

Seems to me he'd only be at the SAG's if he or someone associated w/Aliens were nominated. Sorry!
Thanks vm for the new thread!

But maybe with the lack of award shows they can go to they'll go just for the hell of it, besides there is always the parties after the show, will the CW have one?

[KbatMO]

With the CW's promo budget?! Pffff! (= 'never say never' ... but I'd be very surprised!) Plus SAG covers film and TV ... without the Golden Globes (and the Oscars fate still up in the air) ... it'll probably be the hottest ticket in town for actors, producers, directors, writers, and top crew members.

And no matter what they say most stars are media whores (not Scott) it's probably the reason some do stupid or bad things.

Bring on SAG and more news.

[SPA]

There's always a chance that he'll be there. I have a feeling he only attends functions that involve him or the project he's working on, so Aliens would have to be in the mix of the SAG awards. To me, it all depends on the format of the awards ceremony. If it's anything like PCAs, it ain't happening. [I'm now going to a place to think good thoughts -- rainbows and unicorns.]
