Ok, I accidentally hit copy instead of closing the last one. That's why there's an extra floating around lol.
See what a bad night at work and lack of sleep will do? Grrrr.

Moonlight was featured once again on E! News Daily Friday night. No Jason but there was a really cute segment with Alex and Sophia filming at the pier -and I was happy to see that the show continues to get more press in the media, etc. Hopefully Jason will get his due once the show really starts hitting it's stride and we see more of his character

Thanks for the new thread, Julie!

I can't wait to see more press about the show. I'm even hoping for a new event soon.

Jason and Alex are both featured in TV Guide Channels "25 Things You Didn't know about Supernatural TV" which has numerous airings this week -check your local listings. I'm hoping this will pop up on Youtube at some point though since I know many don't have this channel.

New Jason article, but nothing we haven't heard before.

Quote:
‘I’m gonna be awesome’
Jason Dohring had to get a little cocky to get prime TV roles


You can tell a lot about a man by the shoes on his feet — or, in actor Jason Dohring’s case, the shirt on his back. In his “Veronica Mars” days on UPN/The CW, Dohring was a connoisseur of Los Angeles resale shops. Now that he’s starring in the new CBS vampire drama “Moonlight,” it’s all Beverly Hills and Giorgio Armani.

“I decided to show off my quasi-wealth,” he says with a wry grin, wearing a striped, collared designer number.

Showing a little of that sarcastic, cocky side actually turned out to be a good thing for the 25-year-old.

“I had been [acting] for a while, and I always liked it, but there was a point where it was like, ‘That’s it — I’m gonna be awesome. I’m not messing around anymore,’” Dohring says.

His “Veronica Mars” character, Logan Echolls, was arrogant, with an endless sense of entitlement, but one of the most conflicted and memorable teenagers on the small screen in recent years. When the critically lauded series was canceled, Dohring says he felt unemployment panic.

“I worried more than was warranted,” he says. “Actors always worry about their next job, even when they have three lined up.”

He was offered the part of Josef Konstantin in a flurry of last minute recasting for “Moonlight.”

“[Producer] Joel Silver had this character rewritten from a 60-year-old Croatian guy to a 23-year-old, and they thought of me,” Dohring says, a lingering hint of pleasant surprise in his voice.

As Josef, Dohring portrays the dark, sexy, Anne Rice side of vampire lore. He’s countered by the series’ lead, reluctant bloodsucker and good-guy private investigator Mick St. John (Alex O’Loughlin), who even goes so far as to inject blood to suppress his instincts. Josef will have none of that.

“Hell no, Josef doesn’t inject blood,” Dohring says. “He mainlines. He has concubines around him at all times that he drinks from. ... He’s a billionaire hedge fund trader.”

He sounds like an Armani guy, too.

“Moonlight” airs Fridays at 9 p.m. on CBS.

I saw this interview on LJ..I think. I searched for it..found it again

Quote:
Man from ‘Mars’ bites back

By Amy Amatangelo | Friday, November 9, 2007 | Home - BostonHerald.com | Television News

As it often happens in Hollywood, one man’s loss is another man’s gain.

That’s the situation Jason Dohring found himself in last summer when he was cast as 400-year-old vampire Josef in the CBS drama “Moonlight” (tonight at 9 on WBZ, Ch. 4).

Dohring replaced 61-year-old Rade Serbedzija, who played Josef in the pilot. Producers decided they wanted to take the character in another direction.

“It kind of sucks because it was another guy’s job,” Dohring said. “But it’s obviously great to be (on the show). This cast is pretty unbelievable.”

Just a few months after “Veronica Mars” was canceled, ending the 25-year-old’s run as bad-boy Logan Echolls, Dohring received a call from “Moonlight” executive producer Joel Silver. Silver also served as executive producer of “Veronica Mars.” The part of Josef was being rewritten and Dohring auditioned after seeing only two script pages.

“I was so nervous to do this role,” he said. “I’m just working on it and working on it. I’m the youngster and I have to play obviously a 400-year-old, so I have to have seniority over all these people that I really respect. And so that’s going to be my trick to be able to play that.”

Unlike Logan, Dohring said that Josef, who serves as a mentor for vampire Mick St. John (Alex O’Loughlin), has no soft spot.

“He’s Logan on steroids,” he said. “He’s bad and not as redeemable as Logan. This guy has a lot of fun.”

Viewers who are accustomed to seeing him as a teen heartthrob will get used to his new role and find themselves rooting for Josef, Dohring said.

“I have fun playing bad guys. And as long as you’re having fun, it’s this phenomenon . . . viewers root for the villain.”

The Ohio native has been acting since he was 12 and appeared on such shows as “Judging Amy,” “Boston Public” and “Cold Case.” “Veronica Mars” gave him his breakout role. He still misses the show.

“I wish we could have found an audience, more because it was obviously such a good group of people. We were just like a family,” he said. “We were living there for three years. We all kind of grew up together on that show. We were all not famous or anything like that. It’s so sad, but everybody was so good on that show that I’m sure everybody has a future.”

Fang-Tastic: Jason Dohring in ‘Moonlight.’

Thanks for bringing that over Jenn. That's something else that JD auditioned after only seeing 2 pages. And he's so right about the bad guys LOL. For me I think it's because I know it's the one time I can root for the bad boy guilty free because I know it's just tv escapism. And his comments about still missing VM-aww.
