EVIL PUPPET MASTERS

Big congrats to Keri Russell (Felicity, M:i:III), who got hitched on Valentine’s Day!

According to this article from Zap2it.com, former Felicity and Mission Impossible: III star Keri Russell is pregnant and due to give birth this Summer.

Congrats to Keri and her fiance!

April Webster was recently honored by the Casting Society of America for her achievements in casting for television and movies. She has working on a number of JJ’s projects (Alias, Lost, Six Degrees and M:i:III), and this article from Backstage.com gives insight to her experiences after three decades in the business. She talks about casting for Lost in the piece.

My favorite piece of “Did you know…” trivia related to April is that she played the part (uncredited) of Irina Derevko in the Season 1 finale of Alias, since they did not have the part cast yet

Here it is! I warn you, we both kinda liked this eppy

The Mission: Impossible: III DVD was released this past Monday, so JJ has been hitting the interview circuit. And since it is JJ, they aren’t only talking to him about M:i:III. There are also queries about Lost and Star Trek:XI in the following interviews. Enjoy!

TV Guide interview

MTV News interview — MTV still has a crazy, screwed up website. Good luck on actually getting to read the WHOLE interview. Sheesh!

E!’s Kristin Veitch’s interview — I have to say, as annoying as Kristin usually is to me, this is a good interview, because she and JJ have a history, and it shows.

ETA: I meant to include this quote from JJ’s interview with Kristin, just cause it’s funny –

… Okay, so you worked with Tom on Mission and also his cousin, William Mapother, on Lost. Is that just a coincidence?

The weirdest coincidence is both were named Ethan.

Hee!
