I'd heard rumors of a fourth Indiana Jones film since before George Lucas set out to diminish the Star Wars universe with three prequels. Now that he's fulfilled that undertaking, I worried he may have set his sights on a similar fate for the other franchise that made Harrison Ford a household name two decades…

Summer Smashes & Strike-Outs
There's not been much blogging going on around here lately because there's not been much to blog about. Between rehearsing for both Brigadoon and StrawHat auditions, my nights don't leave me much time for movies. Fortunately, I don't think I'm missing much, as the current fare doesn't offer anything that interests me. But that won't…
The Skull That Wouldn't Die
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull recently wrapped filming — just in time to precede today's opening of The Spiderwick Chronicles with this blessedly spoiler-free trailer: On one hand, this preview doesn't offer many clues about the plot, Karen Allen's return, or Indy's relationship to Shia LaBeouf.

He's the last person I ever expected to be seen in such a thing… It's further proof that…
Read All About It
Potentially working as an extra on Indiana Jones 4 later this month has me thinking about my two previous experiences in that capacity. The first was Fever Pitch, the 2005 film starring Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore. Several scenes were shot in Fenway Park, a small section of which Boston Casting filled with paid extras….
"Who's gonna come to save you, Junior?"
Straight from the horse's mouth: Sean Connery will not appear in the fourth Indiana Jones movie, as stated today on the official site for the film: I get asked the question so often, I thought it best to make an announcement. I thought long and hard about it and if anything could have pulled me…
Extras of the Lost Ark
Best reason to take a day off from work ever. Don't look for me in my cubicle next Monday; I'll be cracking my whip in New Haven (along with every other actor and bystander in New England).
