Hi guys!
I wanted to ask you a favor. Daria and me started a project to boost the tv.com rating of Callum Keith Rennie. Some of you already were so kind - Thank you so much!! ![]()
In the past couple of weeks he climbed from 7.6 to 8.0 and we are very pleased. I'd love to know what people criticize, but all this three reviews are with a 10.0 rating.
Now, we are reaching for the stars and we would love to have him at 8.5 which is unfortunately an even bigger step. Still, it would earn him this little star which we think he deserves.
So, In case you like him a little: Would you mind heading over to his site and show him some love? Anything in the area of 8.5 and above would be so great. Oh and in case you don't care for him, just ignore me and forgive my indecency. ![]()
But shouldn't he be lifted up a little? ![]()
Leave your Ratings here: CKR on tv.com .
EDIT: He did it! 8.5. - Squeeeee! Thank you guys, he deserves it!
Life will be more quiet for me in the middle of next week, I'll be done with my out-of-town teaching gig by then. It was nice and a lot of fun so far but I discovered that I really like my own walls.
Flashforward
I have only seen the pilot so far but it looks like a very cool show. Can't wait to see more and I know many of you feel the same. This is a keeper for me.
The Good Wife
A courtroom drama and I normally don't go out of my way to see those. Still, I like Julianna Margulies and I gave it a shot. Coincidentally, Mack recommended it to me after I saw it, so here you go: I am not the only one liking it. Matt Czuchry (Rory's rich boyfriend in Gilmore Girls) also stars and he isn't half bad. It's a procedural but a nice one from what I have seen.
House
Well yes, loved it. Just for Hugh Laurie, the other stuff was Ok but unspectacular. Good idea to set the premiere in another environment. Yes, it's a medical show, yes, it's formulaic but sometimes it surprises as well and watching Greg is a pure delight for me.
Supernatural
Awesome. I am not swept away from my feet like last season but it is a solid highlight of my week. And to me, Castiel is better than ever.
Dexter
OMG, I need to see what happens next!!
Callum Keith Rennie
The more I watch, the more it amazes me, how many different characters he can deliver. Here are a few pictures just to prove that point. If you want to see for yourself you can have a look at this youtube-video. Not really spoilers but when you plan to watch some stuff with him anyway (Battlestar Galactica most notably), I'd rather wait.
Movie: Falling Angels (2003)
My new About Me is from this movie set in the 60ies. He plays a tyrant of a father who uses military drill on his daughters. Yet, he is not flat evil, he is human. That's CKR's specialty.
He is saying "She raised my morale" as he is talking sleazily about meeting his wife.
Guest Spot In A TV Show: Bliss (2002)
It's a show I had never heard of before. Erotica for women from women... And he plays a pretty clichéd fantasy, the nice farmhand taking a part time job. 20 minutes...
Recurring Character In A TV Show: Twitch City (1998-2000)
He played the total goof here, see for yourself. Much goofier than Due South even.
Movie: Suspicious River (2000)
What a disturbing role. The charming hillbilly jackass... He said the role typecasted him to play dark characters.
Guest Spot In A TV Show: The Dead Zone (2002)
Again the sexual predator...
Damn, It feels so wrong, being intrigued by the performance...
Guest Spot In A TV Show: Kingdom Hospital (2004)
He did many roles like this. The broken man. This scene is mighty sad...
I could show you lots more but I am trying to restrict myself. ![]()

Enjoy your Sunday and have a nice week. I promise I'll try to be less single-minded in my next blog. Maybe I can even go without a ckr mention. Although I doubt it.
