Be safe and have a very happy holiday season!  Unless some major news hits, this site will be on semi-hiatus status until after January 1st.

As he promised, the interview Ted did with Amy back in October has been posted on stuffwelike.com.  Thank you Ted for emailing this morning to let me know!  Part 2 of the interview will be posted on January 15th.

Back in October we had the chance to speak exclusively with Amy Acker, known best for playing the quirky yet lovable Fred in Angel about her past shows and her new role in Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse premiering on Fox this coming February.

How did you come to be in Angel?

That was a long time ago, after college I went to New York for a little bit and then I moved out here and I had only been here about a month and then I was having regular auditions, and one of these auditions happened to be for this character on Angel and I think at that point the characters name was like Logan or something and she was a librarian. I went in and did that scene and I got a call-back from Joss [Whedon] and luckily he liked me and they were trying to decide about adding another girl into the show and they were tossing around a couple of different characters. Joss wrote a scene that I think is on the DVD that Alexis [Denisof], J [August Richards] and I did which was kind of a Midsummer Night’s Dream sort of Shakespearean little scene that Joss had written and that ended up being my screen-test for being a regular.

A trailer has finally been released for Amy’s movie 21 and a Wake Up.  I’ve added 50+ screencaptures to the gallery.  The quality is very low but I am searching for a better version.  You can full the full trailer here:

I received an email from Ted Stokes today letting me know that an interview he’d done with Amy back in October was going to be released online around the 15th of this month on stuffwelike.com.  He has posted a sneak peak on his myspace page which I will be quoting here:

On the online front be sure to check out Stuffwelike.com around the 15th for the first part of my exclusive interview with Amy Acker, covering all things Angel, Alias, Drive and Dollhouse. As thanks to the few thousand people who read this blog a month I have included an excerpt of the interview below, a full week before its release.
What can you tell us about your character in Dollhouse?

Well I am Dr. Saunders and I take care of the dolls at the Dollhouse. I’m kind of the one who seems to be looking out for everybody and there’s a lot of maybe not so nice people at the Dollhouse. I keep trying to turn things around to do what’s best for the dolls and I guess the trait that is most noticeable is that I have these huge scars across my face, like five scars scraping up my face which look pretty painful.

Reading through his earlier blogs, I found out what he had to say about interviewing Amy:

I completed about two hours ago a great phone interview with Angel, Alias and Dollhouse actress Amy Acker. Of all the interviews I have done over the last few years this one was the best. Amy was a real pleasure to talk to and it’s easy to imagine her being a very fun friend.

Thank you so much for giving us Amy fans the sneak peak Ted!  I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say we can’t wait to read the rest!

On behalf of all the Amy Acker fans out there, I want to wish Amy a very happy and wonderful 32nd birthday.  Her and I are almost exactly the same age lol.  I turn 33 today.
