New TV Guide mention of Alex (2/9/09)

[Carisa ITT]

I just came across a mention of this weeks TV guide of our AlexO'Louglin:

Which TV Stars Do You Want to See with Their Own Show?

This is followed by a picture of Alex. The entire article can be found here: http://www.tvguide.com/Asks/TV-Star-Want-1002682.aspx


And with that picture whadda ya expect the answers and reader comments will be?




ETA - turns out they're not quite what I expected them to be. Who on earth is Gale Harold??? (90% of comments mention THAT name - not Alex) AND - Do comment, but please be civil. How about we keep it to 'factual' remarks?



ETA2 - Btw. some Moonlight actors DID get cast as series regulars this season:

Jason Dohring - Washingtonienne (comedy on HBO)
Bitsie Tulloch (Celeste in 1.12) - Washingtonienne
Shannyn Sossamon - How to make it in America (comedy on HBO)
David Blue - Stargate Universe

Argh. I had this issue in my hot little hands, and was flipping through it for some mention of our Alex, and must have missed this.

Wait till they get a load of us voting for him!!

It's nice to see our Jason getting some love on this...and no, I haven't commented yet.

I don't actually think there's a vote involved....

No vote, but you can comment.

They already have pages of fans of Gale Herold (never heard of him) and posters are making fun of them.
So, just my friendly advice, try to be civil, don't bash anyone (not even the Evil Eye) and behave like adults, so our enthusiasm doesn't scare others.

[Fleur de Lisa]

Sorry, in my enthusiasm (imagine that) I misspoke and said 'vote' when I meant comment.

I wouldn't bash, but trying to act like an adult, that may be a stretch for me, francis!

I take this as a very good sign. Weren't we just wondering why there wasn't even a snippet, a photo, anything about Alex for months now? It wasn't because all those snippets, paparazzi photos etc. are leaked to promote something, and there wasn't anything to promote. So when now he is the face on this TV guide article, I guess that CBS is testing the waters to see if there is demand, and is creating demand by bringing his face up. It's the way this works.
And that means that there is something to promote in the near future that has to be prepared, publicity-wise.

Btw--tvguide.com was one of my hits last week in my Alex quest. I still haven't heard back from the other media outlets I contacted. But, in lieu of an email, I will happily accept an article and/or picture of Mr. O'L.

You go Lisa! Maybe Alex ought to hire you as his publicist? Seems to be working (just sayin')

[Fleur de Lisa]

Oh, that was nothing more than coincidence, carissa.

Trust me, if I had that kind of power, the dude would be sitting next to me right now!

Okay guys, who the heck is this Gale guy, what show was he in. He has a rather loud fan base........

[cassysj]

Gale Harold was the lead of Queer As Folk. He is on Desperate Housewives now, I think had his own show Vanished. He does have a very loud fanbase. I know I used to be one of them.

...or the chick they mentioned in the same paragraph with AOL... Anastasia Griffith?

Damn, stop watching tv for a year and the players all change...

But someone at TVG does enjoy pimping Alex... good on em!

I've just mostly been disinterested... I haven't thought it was a stellar year... and they keep canceling the shows I do like... so I also apparently have off beat taste... as do, apparently, many of you all... sigh.
