I visited his Facebook page last night. He has additional work here and there on the internet, too. His work is very much in tune with my peeves and he's intently focused on these grievances...LOL.

Excellent - it's the first time I've knowingly seen any of his work. <br /><br />I wandered around a few more links to him thrown up by Google and in one comment thread he gave a link to his Facepbook page - I think anyone can access it...I did, but maybe it's because I once joined - for about 15 minutes - then deactivated my account. Try the link and see, anyway.<br /><br />Wish his d.o.b. were available...that'd be interesting!<br /><br /> https://www.facebook.com/anthonyfredastudio?pnref=lhcTwilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-44928389871407065152015-01-27T00:27:24.590-06:002015-01-27T00:27:24.590-06:00Anonymous/Kidd ~ Hi there Mugsy!

Anything by David E. Kelley will get me watching! <br /><br />There are a couple of archived post mentioning Boston Legal:<br /><br />http://twilightstarsong.blogspot.com/2010/07/boston-legal-james-spader-david-kelley.html<br /><br />http://twilightstarsong.blogspot.com/2013/08/this-speech-never-loses-relevance.html<br /><br />As I didn't ever watch Star Trek the Shatner cross-over didn't bother me.<br />After seeing all of BL though and enjoying James Spader's performance, I acquired any old Spader movies I could find on tape or DVD - and had trouble relating his younger self to the more mature, and heavier version.<br />:-)<br /><br />I enjoy getting into a really good series, especially now we can watch episodes and seasons in quick succession. "West Wing" is another at the top of my ATF list. Top of 'em all, though remain oldies "Centennial" and "Lonesome Dove".<br />Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-2827389029326129252015-01-26T11:59:32.275-06:002015-01-26T11:59:32.275-06:00Twilight ~ Since I recommended you check out "...Twilight ~ Since I recommended you check out "Top of the Lake", I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it more, though at least your response gives me a better idea of what *not* to recommend in the future.:)<br /><br />Btw, we're about to pick up the "Return to Cranford" sequel from the library this afternoon.

"Black Mirror" was perfect...six episodes, each independent of the other episodes. However, I'm contemplating the "Weeds" series, but 96 episodes, which is a big commitment for me.<br /><br />Your comments about actors' character portrayals possibly spilling-over into their other concomitant roles or the viewer locking actors into their roles, reminds me of William Shatner. His "Captain James Kirk" of "Startrek" fame didn't hamper producers from casting him in later productions divergent from his original role. It took me a few years to re-assign him to his future characterizations in other series. My favorite was his role as Denny Crane, "The Practice" and "Boston Legal"...I particularly enjoyed the "Boston Legal" finale that centered on his "manly" kiss...LOL. mikenoreply@blogger.com
