As reported earlier this year, Hal Sparks guest stars on an upcoming episode of Frasier entitled DOOR JAM, airing January 7, 2003. Hal plays the receptionist at an upscale spa in which Niles and Frasier Crane are trying to obtain "Gold Level" membership status, spending a day receiving what they believe to be the best pampering in town. Meanwhile, Daphne attempts to build her physical therapy clientel, submitting to a review by an evaluator (guest star Ana Gesteyer from NBC's Saturday Night Live) who grades the unorthodox treatment techniques Daphne inflicts on Martin Crane. The episode also stars Sarah Shahi as Leila and Mark Reisman as Senator Ogden.
You may recall that this is the episode which was filmed on September 10, 2002, in which David Hyde Pierce fell off a gurney and hit his head on the stage floor while rehearsing a scene. According to Hal Sparks, Pierce actually collapsed in his arms. The actor was taken to the hospital and released shortly thereafter. Luckily, he avoided any major injuries. | |
December 23, 2002  From the Gay.com Arts & Entertainment column by Christine Champagne comes Gaywatch: TV's best and worst of 2002. She writes:"With the year drawing to a close, it's time to look back and reflect on the best and worst TV had to offer in 2002 ... Best Triangle: Justin, Brian and Ethan on Queer as Folk. As we saw at the end of last season, Justin (Randy Harrison) walked out of Babylon with his new lover Ethan (Fab Filippo), leaving Brian (Gale Harold) in the dust. Of course I was cheering Justin's decision -- after all, Brian isn't exactly the picture of loving attentiveness -- but why do I suspect their relationship is far from over? I'm sure we'll see the drama pick up again when Queer as Folk starts its third season in March."

December 7, 2002 Heather (West) who maintains the Gale Harold Fan Site has uploaded a short clip of Gale's movie Wake in QuickTime format. The file is zipped, and the clip itself is approximately 2 minutes and 15 seconds long. The scene is intense, and has many people saying they want to go out and see this movie right away (if only it were playing in theatres right now!). If you don't have a Quicktime player, you can download one for free at the apple.com site. | |

This is another "free preview" weekend for Pridevision (they're trying to enlist more subscribers!) so those in the area who get Digital cable have access to this specialty channel free-of-charge for another few days.
Last week, on Brad Fraser's "Jawbreaker," one of the guests was a leather expert who was a consultant on episode 115 (the Leather Ball). He worked with Scott Lowell and Bobby Johnston (who played Dale Wexler) to teach them about 'whipping' and other assorted tricks. Quite the eye-opener! If I recall correctly, he said that they were both great to work with (quick learners!
There's a chance to catch a few more of the QAF actors on Pridevision this weekend... first, with the "Undressed Marathon" ... both Peter and Fab have had significant roles in various episodes of the series.
"Prom Fight: The Marc Hall Story" is also being re-aired at 8pm Friday night. There are short clips of Marc at the QAF set, meeting the actors, and of Sherry Miller and Jack Wetherall speaking to the media about Marc shortly after the half-way point in the program.
