Pushing Daisies - Lee Pace & Ned Appreciation Thread #2: B/C We Wanted to See Ned as a Jedi! - Page 9

Hee. I know... we can't wait! Hope it happens...

And, Lee is fetured on Elle Magazine for next month:

Quote:

NAME: Lee Pace
AGE: 29
WHY NOW: After first flooring critics with his portrayal of a transgendered woman in 2003's Showtime movie Soldier's Girl, the Julliard grad has flipped the script, morphing into pure heartthrob - without dumbing dowen the work. Last fall, he broke out as Ned, an adorable pie maker who can resurrect the dead with a single touch (and off them again with another) in ABC's Pushing Daisies. Now he's tackling the big screen, lending his trademark allure - and 6'3" frame - to the leading-man category as Amy Adams' suitor in the chick flick-meets-period caper Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. And this month he's bedridden (fine by us), playing an injured stuntman in the fantasy indie The Fall.
WHY HE'LL LAST: Because even in Robert De Niro's The Good Shepherd, in which Pace played a supporting role loosely based on former CIA director Richard Helms, he stood out among the pack of Big Serious Actors - Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie, Alec Baldwin - delivering the film's most memorable line: "I remember a senator once asked me, 'When we talk about the CIA, why we never use the word the infront of it?' And I asked him, 'Do you put the word the in front of God?' "
HOLLYWOOD BY WAY OF ARABIA?: Born in Chickasha, Oklahoma, Pace spent part of his childhood in Saudi Arabia, where his father worked in the oil business. "We lived on an American compound, so, you know, it's a lot more like Texas then you ever want to think it is."
PARENTAL FORBEARANCE: "I brought them to the premiere [of Soldier's Girl]. I was sitting next to my dad and there were scenes I had to take off my top. Watching a sex scene with your parents that you're in - palying a woman - is mortifying."

^ He lived in Saudi Arabia? That's very, very interesting. I had no idea.

Thanks for bringing that over, Adara.

That's a cute little interview. hee.

QuinCess · 03-17-2008, 05:56 PM

Why is he so damn cute all the time! gah, lol! I had no idea he had lived in Saudi Arabia either, Brit, but it is interesting, nonetheless. I got named after the town my grandparents had just arrived in, in Saudi Arabia when my mom had given birth to me, hee!

I think it is mortifying watching a sex scene on tv with my parents, but having to see a sex scene unfold on screen with one self performing in it? Oh gawd, poor Lee.

Thank you for bringing it over, Adara.

daritah · 03-18-2008, 06:27 AM

Welcome, girls!

I ind it so cute hwo in all interview he gives he let pass a little bit more of him and we discover new things like this. He's too cute! I want to hug Lee!

Oh. I know, can oyu imagine watching a sex scene, where you're in, with your parents?! Poor Lee!

**keep no score** · 03-18-2008, 09:11 AM

Poor Lee, indeed! hehe. Talk about awkward and uncomfortable!

Aw that's how you were named, Medine? So cool! Your name is very pretty and unique.

Oh! I'll hug Lee, too.

QuinCess · 03-18-2008, 12:20 PM

It is and thank you, hon.

And we should create a line that has the sign, "Hug Lee Pace". I'd stand in the line on the daily basic, because something tells me he is a good hugger, hee!

PollyGreen · 03-18-2008, 01:44 PM

Aww, I'd love to hug Lee

Those long, strong arms...

Anyway...I did this, don't know if you guys would like or not, but here:

QuinCess · 03-18-2008, 01:51 PM

Aww, Polly! I love it, it is so vivid and I love the colours.

daritah · 03-18-2008, 05:07 PM

Aw, Polly, I totally loved it!! You know I always love your stuff

Medine, that'd be a pretty long line

I know I'd be one of the first ones there

Aw, to hug Lee... he must have an awsome hug

PollyGreen · 03-18-2008, 06:17 PM

Thank you for sharing it with us!

Definitely a good hugger, I bet.

Polly, that's amazing. So pretty!

Thanks for the scan, Nerble!

I love that little interview. Poor Lee watching Soldier's Girl with his parents

daritah · 03-21-2008, 07:26 PM

Aw, the scan is so pretty. Lee is too cute.

And no, we weren't able to see him, girls. The people who were dealing with his stay here were like, horrible and didn't even told us where would be the place he would be giving the interviews.. very disappointing.

**keep no score** · 03-22-2008, 10:19 AM

That scan is awesome. Thanks for bringing it over! His smile is

.

Aw no! That's awful. I'm so sorry that you weren't able to see him, Adara. That's really disappointing that they wouldn't even say where his interviews were being taken at.
