[SPA]

I just thought it would be nice if we talked/discussed, the note that Scott sent to us May 1st. I've jotted and scribbled (heehee) a few of my thoughts.

Scott’s Note to Everyone on May 1st:

Hey gang, Saw5 was great fun and, I assure you all, under the steady hand of new director David Hackel and returning director of photography David Armstrong, the franchise looks and feels and sounds better than ever. Producer Dan Heffner, again, did a masterful job assembling another Cracker Jack crew. WARNING - some of the traps in 5 are so terrifying that even this experienced crew had to take a break, walk outside to stop shaking. Grown men reduced to a blubbering mess...and I was one of them. I’m still having nightmares. Been home two weeks and have not had a chance to slow down with all the TV meetings. I haven't found that perfect thing yet, but you will be the first to know when I do. Some excellent pilots being shot. Very impressed with the quality out there, though may want to take a break from series television. Aliens News - game, set, match. Lindsey, Dan and Adhir are all doing great and I think they will all be huge mega-stars. Three very talented actors and the nicest people you could ever hope to work with. Love em. Movie News - I have been offered a wonderful indie film that will give me the opportunity to act, produce AND contribute some of my music. Very excited about this film, as the writer is an exciting new talent and kindred spirit. Details coming. Screenplays - 8 completed, 2 in development. I may need the paper in case I run out of fire wood) also.... trying to get the life story rights to one of my idols growing up. It's a film I want to direct, as well as write. Pilots - one completed and currently being read at a network. News coming. Art - in process of moving to a new, bigger studio with tons of natural light! Also, considering building a website so that I can offer my work online. That's it for now, gang. Remember to love each other and to tell the people closest to you that you are there for them. All we have is each other, ourselves. SP

What an interesting read -- quite sudden and totally unexpected with all the information we were absorbing the other night. Does anyone else get the feeling that this guy is running on nothing but go-go juice since the ending of GG? I thought I’d write down a few of my thoughts about his plans for the near future.

1. Saw5 was great fun and, I assure you all, under the steady hand of new director David Hackl and returning director of photography David Armstrong, the franchise looks and feels and sounds better than ever. Producer Dan Heffner, again, did a masterful job assembling another Cracker Jack crew. WARNING - some of the traps in 5 are so terrifying that even this experienced crew had to take a break, walk outside to stop shaking. Grown men reduced to a blubbering mess...and I was one of them. I’m still having nightmares.


Okay, now how many “Saw” series connoisseurs are there in this Forum?? I’ve been doing some research on the past movies and what stands out the most, and seems to be consistent -- is that there is no consistency in this series. Each Saw movie tells a different story; different settings; different characters (some overlap between movies) because most of them die in each movie; and the level of horror seems to go up a couple of notches with each new movie. The only common denominator is Jigsaw -- John Kramer. Scott told us last year in a pre-Saw IV interview that Saw IV was about a kind of love story -- and a story of how John Kramer ended and how Jigsaw began. My question is: Does that mean that Saw V is “Prelude to a Kiss”?? I’m not a fan of horror films per se and I’m not as wiggly as some when it comes to that genre of movie theme, but when there’s an interview with the Director of the movie (Saw V) who states that there’s a trap so dangerous that it’s going to need extra medical staff on site and that there’s a higher probability of bodily harm to the actor -- and also that he (Director) couldn’t wait to call that actor and ask if “he” (he used the masculine pronoun) was willing to participate in that trap, I’m thinking “okay, we’ve crossed some line here -- an envelope has been pushed just a little bit too far.” Okay, so there’s been some discussion on actually how dangerous things could or could not be on sets and actual filming -- grand-standing, keeping the hype high so people are anxious to see the film -- and all of that. I just seems to me that it takes some “unusual” people to pull these kinds of movies off onto the public, to make them want to come back to see more. Saw has been very successful in keeping the viewers at the edge of their seats to date, though I’ve read some rumblings that Saw should end at V (“5”). Doesn’t matter to me -- as long as Scott is in IV, V and VI, I will be watching IV, V and VI. It’s gotta be a “guy” thing -- I don’t get what’s so entertaining when Scott says “… some of the traps are so terrifying that …[you] had to take a break and walk outside to stop shaking….. reduced to a blubbering mess…. and that Scott was one of them and still has nightmares.” Hype??? Maybe (and hope so). Whatever the case may be, Scott sounds like he had a lot of fun -- again -- filming a horror flick. I hope he had a lot of fun because I want this to be his “last” movie of this genre. Bottom line -- this franchise has done very well for the past 4+ years. I’m not expecting anything less than a huge hit for Saw V as well. Nothing in the cards that is telling me otherwise. Kudos to Scott and all that worked on this project!!!

2. Been home two weeks and have not had a chance to slow down with all the TV meetings. I haven't found that perfect thing yet, but you will be the first to know when I do. Some excellent pilots being shot. Very impressed with the quality out there, though may want to take a break from series television.


Hot, Hot, Hot. Finally!!! Someone(s) has/have finally recognized this man for the genius that he is. It’s about time!!! I love his short and sweet sentences in the form of a Haiku -- what kind of meeting??? Is it for an acting role, directing role, writer’s role, producing role???? I swear he’s getting as bad as MA and his “fill-in-the-blank-letters” game -- ugh. I like that he wants to keep us informed -- makes us feel extremely special that “we” will be the “first” to know when he chooses a new project for television. The phrase “…though [i] may want to take a break from series television” makes me a little nervous. Any time there’s a day or a week that goes by without a Scott Patterson fix -- in the words of Rory “We take disappointment extremely hard. I mean it -- property damage is often involved.” He did mention last year that he wanted to take a year off after GG -- and when he was told “he wasn’t Brad Pitt” [I could just slap the genius that said that to him], it put him in the position of accepting the Aliens role to begin with. So look what happens when Scott has a few extra minutes to himself instead of the strenuous, rigorous, marathon hours to film GG? If he doesn’t want series of his own -- would he consider a recurring role? Would that make him more flexible?? It can be a slippery slope when you walk away from television role prospects. I wouldn’t want to miss out on any chance to see Scott Patterson on the television screen.

3. Aliens News - Game. Set. Match. Lindsey, Dan and Adhir are all doing great and I think they will all be huge mega-stars. Three very talented actors and the nicest people you could ever hope to work with. Love em.


Talk about up close and personal (Game, Set, Match) -- no wiggle room there!! Well, I said I would hang on to Aliens for a Season 2 until the Fat Lady Sings -- and she’s now singing an opera!!! To be honest reality was smacking me in the face -- I was just hoping for a miracle or two. And after much pondering (Luke’s words: “Pondering by nature is a slow connotation”), I’ve come to this conclusion a couple of times (I recognize that tree) that maybe Aliens was just a one-season stepping stone for Scott -- he did take this role very quickly -- within 2 weeks after he returned home from Toronto from Saw IV. He seemed to be on go-go juice from January 2007 til around November 10th -- almost without a break. It’s warming to know that he encourages and promotes younger people who are starting out with acting, and although younger, has the potential of being great at their craft. He did that with Alexis as well. When will the proper people in the industry do the same for Scott? He doesn’t sound like a guy that likes tooting his own horn solely. It would be nice for him to get some recognition from his peers and the upper echelon. I hope it’s a slip that he forgot to add Amy Pietz to the list (though he does write “Three very talented actors…”). I would hate to think that Amy Pietz and Scott did part on anything less than great terms.

4. Movie News - I have been offered a wonderful indie film that will give me the opportunity to act, produce AND contribute some of my music. Very excited about this film, as the writer is an exciting new talent and kindred spirit. Details coming.


Wow, an independent film!! I remember during one of the WB tours, the tour-guide said that just about every actor who works with WB (on contract) also has a production company (and office) at the Studios. Some of them have real swanky offices, like Clint Eastwood -- practically a majority shareholder of the WB (acts like it anyway). It doesn’t surprise me that Scott has a production company -- he’s been there before with Arc Light Productions in NYC many moons ago (a theatre company), and I’ve been searching like crazy to find out the name of his production company in L.A. -- maybe we’ll find out real soon now. I have a question -- does an independent film mean that it could be considered -- if applied -- at the Sundance Festival? Man, I’d be making traveling plans for Park City or Ogden, Utah if that was the case – in a heartbeat. You see what that Repo audition has done to Scott?? Making him realize his dream as a singer. I’m excited for him for this opportunity – I’m thinking it’s a story about the trials and turmoils of a band just trying to get their song published. Anyone wishing to hear him sing “I’m Not Your Stepping Stone” or “Back in the U.S.S.R.”??? heehee A childhood dream realized???!!!???

5. Screenplays - 8 completed, 2 in development. I may need the paper in case I run out of fire wood) also.... trying to get the life story rights to one of my idols growing up. It's a film I want to direct, as well as write.


So, is he now a card carrying member of the WGA??? Screenplays – that means movies – and 2 in development, which means someone(s) are taking them seriously. Wow, the ideas in my head on what Scott wants to say to the masses. Just on the top of my head (and not in priority order): kickboxing, the environment, maybe politics of some sort – world event(s); something he’s passionate about, and there are soooo many of those, right? Could Darren Bousman have had an influence on him to pursue a screenplay or two – go for his dream? Darren has been talking about how Repo has been his passion for over 6 years. Scott has stated that he’s been writing/creating stories for a very long time – probably even before he became an actor – with the totally different environment of GG in the Spring of last year, his world just exploded with different color and ideas with the different people around him. I think it might have been their influence on him to pursue that part of him that has been quasi dormant during the GG years.

I’m really curious about the “life story rights to one of my idols growing up.” “Growing up”; that could mean as a small child or as a teenager. Small child, I’m thinking baseball and Sandy Koufax. Teenager – I’m thinking Patti Smith or maybe even Hendrix. I’m not sure if there’s been a movie made about Sandy Koufax’s life; and don’t think there’s been one made of Patti Smith – I do think there’s been one made of Jimi though. And I think it’s grand that he wants his movie directorial debut to be about an idol of his when he was growing up – again, something he’s passionate about.

6. Pilots - one completed and currently being read at a network. News coming.

Notice that the word “Pilots” is plural – there’s more than one in the making. What can we envision Scott writing about as a storyline for a tv series? Cop show? Hospital show? A comedy? If comedy, what’s the theme – sports? No way, I could easily bet, that it would be a type of reality show. I’d like to think it would be something unique, but I’m clueless at the moment. A sports show – many points-of-light there (the movie “Any Given Sunday” comes to mind). And I certainly hope that “…being read at a network” means NOT by the CW. I think that Scott has a strong and healthy relationship with the WB, who is out of the “network” business now, and is solely in the production/studio business – hence the CW taking over the network end of things. I wish him lots of success that one of the Big 3 have an interest in the Pilot that’s being looked at – maybe even HBO or Showtime, now that’s a thought – more free with language issues amongst other things.

7. Art - in process of moving to a new, bigger studio with tons of natural light! Also, considering building a website so that I can offer my work online.


This one absolutely floors me. Looks like Scott has been drawing/painting/sketching for a long time – not something new. He currently has a studio and now has secured a larger one with lots and lots of light. He seems to experience everything in life, not just read about it or watch a show on television or other type of media outlet – he lives it; wants to be a part of it. At first I could see him being a photographer – with all the beautiful places he’s been throughout his life, keeping a photo record of all the places – New Zealand, Italy, Ibiza, just to name a few – seemed the most likely. I no longer think that. I can easily see him using the canvas and lots and lots of color to settle himself down from long hours at the studio. I myself am not very creative – it’s very arduous for me to sit down and create, draw – I can follow directions real good, paint by numbers!! I’m very curious to peek at what it is he is inspired to put on paper/canvas. And we don’t know what the art is – I’m guessing it’s paintings, but sculpting, using plaster or some kind of metal welding work. Makes me wonder about that other posting in IMDb about Scott having a prehistoric petrified baby frog collection on loan to the Louvre in Paris. IMDb also says that Scott collects art, artifacts and rare writings. I can see him with rare books – he seems to be very astute in world history in all eras – the Renaissance period seems to be a favorite – his love of Shakespeare.

8. That's it for now, gang. Remember to love each other and to tell the people closest to you that you are there for them. All we have is each other, ourselves.


It is really comforting that this seems to be a moniker of his. He preaches peace, love and understanding. Wishes good things to everyone. He really is one of the most decent human beings on the planet, isn’t he? He makes everyone feel special.

These are just a few of my thoughts about Scott’s latest note. I’d love to read everyone else’s input. Should be interesting to pool all our ideas together and see what we envision is in Scott’s near future!! Most of all, huge kudos to him – talk about reaching for the stars!!!!

[Tarty History]

SPA, very nice. You have a lot of excellent points.

I interpreted Scott's 'may want to take a break from series television' to mean he will take some time off from acting in a regular role unless the perfect situation presents itself. So, I am hoping he gets offered a role that he finds just too good to pass up, that way we can still see him on a regular basis.

I also noticed he didn't mention Amy Pietz in the 'three very talented actors', but I figured he didn't because Amy already has an established career whereas the younger three are just starting their careers.

Can't wait to find out more about the indie film!

For the artwork, where Scott mentions moving to a new bigger studio. Does that mean he has a studio separate from his home? Or, does it mean he is moving to a larger home with a studio with tons of natural light? Hmmm...

I especially love that if Scott can dream it, he lives it!!

[SPcrazygirl]

Really good job, SPA.
I have also done some thought to myself.

1. I have looked before SAW4 also at the other parts. The opinions about this film row are very different. Unfortunately, I also do not see so with pleasure horror films. What inspires me with SAW, is the intelligence with which Jigsaw John Kramer goes forward. And not least the surprise effect at the end. But I also hope that Scott is to be seen in future maybe in a drama or also action film. Also such family films like "Her best move" I can fancy.

2. I would be glad very much if Scott again did a series. I would like to see him best every day on the television screen. Still I can also understand if he wants to do a break of this strenuous work.

3. I have not seen AiA yet complete. Therefore, I cannot say yet a lot in addition. But I'm of the opinion, Scott has really earned to get own TV show with a leading role. He has unambiguously proved his unbelievable talent in the most different roles.

4. I can only say, I love his voice. And to hear singing this voice then still, this would be … Wow, I think there immediately again of Gilmore Girls. „Love is in the air “. There becomes to me hot and cold at the same time.

5. I'm sure, he has a big talent for this. And if it is about something what was thus a big passion for himself and is. I simply wish him the success with it which he earns.

6. Can I fancy Scott as a doctor? No, honestly not. Rather already than policeman in an action series. A role as a sportsman would be dearest to me of course. But whatever it will be, I am to me certainly he can simply play everything.

7. As an artist? Wow. I don't know what I should say. This is really very new for me. Everything with which I can paint is a pencil. I cannot handle with colours. I'm very creative. But only if I write books and poems.

8. Scott is right. One cannot often enough say the person whom one loves that one is there always for them. In addition, I'm sure that we can return the love which he feels for us – his fans – to him. We give the most wonderful birthday present to him that one can fancy.
Thus we say to him: We need you. And we are there always for you, Scott.


I hope, you can understand everything.
Sorry for possible grammar mistakes.

[lulu1960]

Lots of good points Deborah. As for the pilot, I would hope that he would have developed it with himself in mind. But like everything in Hollywood, there are probably 1000's of pilots in different stages of the game. Hopefully it will come to fruition for him.
One good thing about that would be, I think by the time it would come to development, Scott would be raring to go.

Indie films are becoming more and more in vogue, but still run the risk of trying to find a distributor.

I also think when Scott was mentioning Aliens, he wasn't really leaving Amy out, but more saying that he felt the three young stars had promising futures in front of them.

Perhaps the bigger studio with better lighting is to display them, because I would think he'd want the comfort of home to work at.

So my utimate hope is for the projects he has a hand in, come to fruition for him and he finds himself satisfied with his choices and content.

[AUSTRIA]

First of all Deborah thank you for bringing this up!
And I don´t know to say much to all your good points I´m just with you.

Scott always talks about his work with other actors, directors and other people so kind and friendly that you can see he is a person who looks more about other then himself, I think so.
> The SAW series I will never see, I just hope to find some caps and clips here and there.
> I hope his break from Series TV don´t take too long, becaus I need to see him more often since the end from GG.
> AiA I think also that he did not forget or had a good conection with Amy Pietz, he just mentioned the young actors.
> An Indie Film when he will be on Sundance, then maybe there he get more recognition for his work.
> A good movie about Baseball, special seeing him playing with his idol Sandy Koufax, this would be realy great, but I think there are too many Baseball movies out there, but maybe...
> Pilot and CW I hope not, I realy hope that he come to another network!
> A website where we can find some of his arts - god I would go crazy if this will happen!
> Yes I love him!

[razzlephrat]

Pilots - one completed and currently being read at a network. News coming. Art - in process of moving to a new, bigger studio with tons of natural light! Also, considering building a website so that I can offer my work online.

I really hope he meant NEW network.


And I'm still so surprised at all the things this man is capable of. I just hope he's not the "spill paint on a canvas" and call it art type of folks. (No offense to those who are, but it's starting to get a little redundant. :S)

From Tarty History I interpreted Scott's 'may want to take a break from series television' to mean he will take some time off from acting in a regular role unless the perfect situation presents itself.

Or, does it mean he is moving to a larger home with a studio with tons of natural light? Hmmm... I especially love that if Scott can dream it, he lives it!!

I hope he's choosing to perfect tv series -- maybe even one that he's written/writing. And I think you're right about the kids -- he's giving high praise to the up-and-coming.

I think his studios are away from his home. I'm told that kind of thing is in vogue right now. I keep visualizing white stucco with huge windows. Don't ask me why (kinda a Florida thing).

"If you can dream it, live it!! I like the phrase, Tarty!!!

From SPCrazygirl 2. I would be glad very much if Scott again did a series. I would like to see him best every day on the television screen. Still I can also understand if he wants to do a break of this strenuous work. 4. I can only say, I love his voice. And to hear singing this voice then still, this would be … Wow, I think there immediately again of Gilmore Girls. „Love is in the air “. There becomes to me hot and cold at the same time. 7. As an artist? Wow. I don't know what I should say. This is really very new for me. Everything with which I can paint is a pencil. I cannot handle with colours. I'm very creative.

In addition, I'm sure that we can return the love which he feels for us – his fans – to him. We give the most wonderful birthday present to him that one can fancy. Thus we say to him: We need you. And we are there always for you, Scott.

I love your comments SPCG -- reads beautifully!!!

I am wishing him a new series too, and soon -- maybe by 2009 (early); my Scott fix is very demanding.

I'm hoping that once Darren Bousman's movie Repo comes out in theaters he will release the Repo audition tapes that Scott performed (more than one). This will be a great indicator of his singing voice, which other people who have heard him says he's just fabulous -- including Measha.

Scott and an artist is a complete blow-away surprise to me -- and I'm as curious as a cat to see just what his talent is in that area. It's pretty vague -- why is it that I'm thinking that it's something we have not thought of??? So many different areas of "art", isn't there.

I think that one of the wonderful things about Scott is that he remembers his fans. He knows and acknowledges the people who back him. He's very humble in that respect, I think -- and makes him very special to a lot of people -- a great human being.

From Lulu As for the pilot, I would hope that he would have developed it with himself in mind. But like everything in Hollywood, there are probably 1000's of pilots in different stages of the game. Hopefully it will come to fruition for him. One good thing about that would be, I think by the time it would come to development, Scott would be raring to go. Indie films are becoming more and more in vogue, but still run the risk of trying to find a distributor. So my utimate hope is for the projects he has a hand in, come to fruition for him and he finds himself satisfied with his choices and content.

I think Scott was a little cryptic about the pilot news. Maybe he's writing himself as the lead in it/them. He also might be wanting the credit(s) of producer and/or director -- both in movies and tv. The creative mode he seems to be in doesn't immediately shout to me that he's writing a part for himself, but in the words of Scott "I know nothing." We'll have to wait and see

I thought Indie films have just bursted lately. Everyone wants to do an independent film outside the mainstream production companies. Look how difficult it continues to be for HBM. It got a blip -- and now, again, it's in limbo. This could be a challenge for him -- wanna bet he's got trump cards up his sleeve?

ITA with you on the success of his projects. He's definitely following his shooting star now!!!

From Austria Scott always talks about his work with other actors, directors and other people so kind and friendly that you can see he is a person who looks more about other then himself, I think so. > I hope his break from Series TV don´t take too long, becaus I need to see him more often since the end from GG. > An Indie Film when he will be on Sundance, then maybe there he get more recognition for his work. > A good movie about Baseball, special seeing him playing with his idol Sandy Koufax, this would be realy great, but I think there are too many Baseball movies out there, but maybe... > Pilot and CW I hope not, I realy hope that he come to another network! > A website where we can find some of his arts - god I would go crazy if this will happen! > Yes I love him!

Austria, I totally agree with the hiatus of new/more tv time with Scott. I'll be totally buggin until that happens. TV has been such a great outlet for him for these past 14 years -- I'm not yet ready for him to make a change to exclusively movies or works behind the camera yet.

I really like the idea of the indie movie to be selected at the Sundance Festival. I don't know if he's attended one, but to me it seems like a venue that he would be very comfortable in -- the location and the plethora of movies.

Since baseball has been a sport he grew up with for most of his childhood, I hope his love the game is rekindled. If not baseball, it's going to be a complete surprise to us, I bet, to find out just who one of child idols was "growing up."

I am the "Anwhere but CW" girl. I can't express how much I wish this network would just shrivel up and disappear.

I wonder if "he" will create his website, or, most likely, he'll hire a designer to create the perfect website that fits all of his requirements -- I hope he does it soon!!

There's a long line of people who admire this man, isn't there??

From Razzle I really hope he meant NEW network. And I'm still so surprised at all the things this man is capable of. I just hope he's not the "spill paint on a canvas" and call it art type of folks. (No offense to those who are, but it's starting to get a little redundant.

I'm with you, Razzle -- anywhere, and I do mean a-n-y-w-h-e-r-e, but the CW.

Heeheehee, Razzle -- too much like fingerpainting??? I keep thinking of Luke's statement to Lorelai "Better dead than Red." I'm really curious to see where his artistic talents are -- It could be anything, couldn't it. We need more information. Sheesh, I'm not happy with what we recevied, am I??? The old proverb "the more you get, the more you want" comes into play here.


Thanx everyone for your comments and thoughts. Any more thoughts or speculations???

[KbatMO]

SPA~ Great post! Very thoughtful and thought-filled!!!

I'm mixed about his not having given a shout-out to Amy Pietz. Not like him (!) - unless she's not quite the great friend she was when the series started. But he's always extremely encouraging of young talent - it could be just that simple.

Maybe a break from series TV for a while ... tells me that he's not seeing scripts with parts that feel right for him.

The movie news is thrilling - I just hope he can get the funding. Always "the rub"! After seeing him go in the horror genre direction ... I've been wishing ten times as hard that he'd go in the direction of indies!!! That's a very promising development; hope it's not just long-term.

Pilots - one being read - the more I think about that the more that says to me he wrote two pilots; one's being read. It's the only way that sentence makes any sense!

The life story he wants to write and direct ... in this week's Entertainment Weekly, they talk to Helen Hunt about her latest film - which she stars in, co-wrote, and directed. It took her 10 years to get it done!!! I sincerely hope Scott achieves this dream more than any other - it sounds very personal, very special - and obviously important to him if he wants full artistic control ... but this one's for the long haul - and that's assuming he's able to buy the story rights!

Art - deep down I picture him being more abstract than representational given his nature - but it's only a guess. In some cases I agree with you, razzle, that when I look at a canvas and think "I could've done that" - it doesn't impress me ... where as when I look at a great 19th century French or 17th century Dutch painting ... or John Singer Sargent ... or Matisse (just some examples) - they literally take my breath away! But some abstract painting is extremely interesting and complex, and can only be done by people who have first mastered representational painting ... in which case I say "art" is very much "in the eye of the beholder." Over the years, Jackson Pollack has grown on me (I recommend the film "Pollack" with the warning that it's not a cheery film. Likewise "Frida".) But if it's Scott - whether he's painting sailboats, fruit bowls, vases of flowers ... or splashing paint on the canvas ... or doing intense acrylic animated painting like Roy Lichtenstein - or the character in Heroes (Season 1) ... he's got my full attention!! I just hope he runs off postcards, 'cause if he's any good at all, there's no way I'll be able to afford an SP litho - let alone an original! Unless he didn't want to overload us with info, it sounds a little naive to think he can have a full-time acting, writing (etc.) career - and sell his own artwork on-line. I would think/hope he'll want to be represented by a reputable gallery.....

I wish he would do his own website though - keep us up to date on his "doings" - latest faves - and allow us to leave direct feedback. That would be SO cool!!!!!!!

Last but NOT least(!) - the last line of the message - OMG! One "moment" he's into the gory, bloody thing (the interview when Saw V started filming) ... or calling his romantic lead characters "castrated" (direct quote, folks!) ... then he writes stuff like that. If one wasn't totally blown away by him already(!) after reading stuff like that ... as the man said (different context) - game, set, match! Oh, yeah!!!!!!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and bet Scott's artwork is not mimicking David Duchovny's charity painting technique. (Even though the thought of Scott bare butt could sell a lot of paintings.)

Also, other than IMDb, has anyone actually read or heard that Scott paints?? His art may have a whole different media. IMDb isn't exactly batting 1000 in the facts department with that prehistoric petrified baby frog collection story (although it is hilarious - hats off to whoever snuck that in).

Whoa! Tarty - I missed that one! (I'm emitting a long, low whistle!) Was that performance art or a "new and improved" printmaking method?! There's one for the X-files.....

It's the first time I recall SP mentioning his own artwork - but for some reason it does not surprise me. He seems to have a certain flourish when he signs his name (not necessarily correlated to someone who can draw - but often it is - esp. in guys - imho!) We've known for a long time that he's written more than 500 songs - that's an intense extent of creativity. It's a very positive release of energy, I guess ... and a little easier on the body than boxing (!) - that is, unless he's doing ceramics! Wouldn't put it past him to be doing some unusual mixed media........

The only other thing I'd love to see him do is live theatre - but that's a total 100%+ commitment and doesn't given him national exposure. Well - maybe after one of his film projects takes off!!!!! That would be such a blast! I'd travel to the ends of the earth (well, nearly!) to see him live on-stage!

Yesterday's mystery = how he manages to have perfect hands (everyone who's met him remarks that they are soft, clean, perfect) ... today I'm back to wondering how he finds the time to do half the stuff he does - even if he only does any one activity in short sprints. Methinks the man doesn't sleep much....

SPA - 2 small caveats about Bousmann releasing Scott's Repo audition footage: was SP really good? ... and does he want it out there? If yes and yes, I'm all in! (Reminds me - GG dropped this ball ... Maybe with Aliens when there's a DVD, they'll include some outtakes?! I'd love to see SP outtakes!!!)

I think he gets the perfect seven hours a night! How'd he keep his boyish charm otherwise?


And maybe he does do ceramics and that's why his hands are so nice!

Oh, no! I have a cousin who's been a ceramics artist for ~35 years! (easily!) It's not like getting a "clay mask at a spa." Most artists have hands that look "lived in"! Unless they're so wildly famous - as sculptors, for ex., that they can afford to hire art students to do the heavy work - and they just create designs. I don't think that's Scott. And I do get the feeling we're talking paintings and/or drawings.....

I know it wasn't the case - or it would be in the "trivia" ... but it would've been cool if - when Scott was on Will & Grace - since he played an artist with a SoHo gallery opening - if it had been his own artwork on display!! There is trivia from the ep. ("Das Boob"). They changed the name of Scott's character in the episode, but it never got updated when written on a wall by Karen as a message for Grace - or in the end credits. The other - a propos - is that in real life, Debra Messing ("Grace") is married to an art gallery owner. The gallery name used in the episode = the Gelman Gallery. Gelman = her husband's last name & that's the name of his gallery. (The scene wasn't filmed at his gallery, however.)

I also think Scott's artwork is likely painting and drawing, especially since he mentioned wanting more natural light. I am hoping he does some seascapes. I would really love to see that.

I'd love to see whatever it is on display at a prominent gallery - L.A. or NYC - NY more convenient for me, so...... A private "opening" party like the one "Grace" attended "by invitation only" - with the artist (!), his close friends/family - and some good buyer prospects/gallery's best clients of course ... all with his music playing in the background!! Perfect!
If he actually does work in watercolors, I promise not to wear a "hydrabra" (Such a devotee....)

Well unless he's into this whole modeling yourself thing (and yes, I'm completely serious, this is for real) I'm hoping so!
