You would think they would have fact checkers. He was a guest star on one episode of the OC sheeeesh.

Well the plot seems so/so we will have to see if more info comes out about this project.

maybe it's someone who used to be a writer of "Roswell" [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

-Katie- · 04-29-2004, 03:26 PM

[img]smilies/lol.gif[/img] He stars in the OC? Riiiight. He only appeared in one episode.

Agreeing with Cyn that they should get their facts straight.

Hoodie · 05-02-2004, 03:28 PM

Looks like quite a bit of info on this project has turned up! [img]smilies/clap.gif[/img]

It's a wonder we can count on any of the information being correctly printed! Maybe they're getting confused between the TV show The OC and his unforgettable role in the feature film "Orange County?" [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

BTW, if you don't speak Spanish or haven't translated the title through Babblefish, "Sin Receta" means "without prescription."

Nice to see a lot of buzz about the film! :thumbs_UP:

thanks for the title info! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
