Welcome to the Jason Dohring & Minka Kelly Appreciation Thread

An appreciation thread for the friendship and chemistry of Jason Dohring and Minka Kelly! Jason and Minka co-starred together in the pilot Body Politic and the independent film Searching For Sonny. They also performed a skit together in the Christmas Stories XVII event that was put on by The Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre in 2009.

Body Politic Pilot Presentation Sneak Peek:

[Goodnight&Go]

I don't really know much about Minka Kelly and i'll confess I'd never seen the Body Politic pilot presentation before now but thanks for the new thread Minka is so pretty!

[alee23]

I know Minka from Friday Night Lights. She was also in (500) Days of Summer and in a few eps of Parenthood (which I have still yet to watch!) That's just a sample clip of Body Politic, the full 20minute presentation is floating around somewhere. I loved it and was so disappointed that it wasn't picked up. (And still am!) But yes you should totally watch the clip!

Minka is gorgeous. I LOVE this photo of her from the Searching For Sonny set:

[Goodnight&Go]

She's just so pretty isn't she?

Oh i've never seen Friday Night Lights. I saw (500) days of Summer last week and did see Minka, altho she only had a small part.

I'll have to go find the full presentation, even just watching that it looks interesting (and not just cause i love Jason). It's a shame it wasn't picked up.

Thanks for getting this put together, Angela.

I'm more than a little curious about the relationship between Jason's character and Minka's in Searching for Sonny.

Haven't ever watched FNL, but I loved Jason and Minka in Body Politic and thought it was great they're close enough that she did the Scientology Christmas Pageant.

She is gorgeous and from what I've heard, also sweet!

It's definitely a shame Body Politic wasn't picked up as it had a great cast and great potential. Unfortunately, that was back when the CW thought their viewers wanted to see more 'lives of the pretty and shallow' type shows, until they finally learned better when most of them tanked!

As for SFS, they've said that Minka's character was the 'girl everyone was in love with', so it will be interesting to see how that plays out!

I hadn't heard much about Minka's character until now. Thanks, Anita.

Aw thats nice. I hate when pretty people aren't too sweet.

Like Roz said I hadn't heard much about her character so thanks for that.

Just from the pictures we've been getting, I'm definitely intrigued about how Elliott and Eden interact!

[Goodnight&Go]

I can't think of pictures i've seen of them together from SFS (i am pretty tired though ) but yes I am also intrigued

[alee23]

Here you go Michelle!

[Goodnight&Go]

Thank you! They look cute together

[alee23]

You're welcome! A few more:


Did you end watching any of Body Politic? What did you think of them in that?

[Goodnight&Go]

Thanks for the pics!
Yeah i watched some clips, but still haven't watched the full presentation. In the clips though they have great chemistry together. I think they would have been great in a full series. Shame it never got picked up.

[alee23]

Yeah, it still makes me a tad bit bitter even now thinking about how it didn't get picked up and how there was so much potential. *sigh*
