It being mid-summer this will be a relatively quiet one but we’ll see what we can do for our latest Cold Case Cast Catch-up (aka CCCC-up) for August 2014. Each month I try to give brief updates on the careers of the members of the Cold Case cast that aren’t Kathryn.
After twice previously mentioning that Mr Thom Barry (see above, Will Jeffries on CC) had taken on a recurring role on the TNT drama series Perception I was assuming that this post would be the one to confirm it. However, the show finished its summer run last week, and is now on hiatus, with no sign of the a new FBI field office boss played by Thom. Presumably he will be appearing in the set of five episodes that close out the show’s third season due for broadcast from February 2015. Speaking of Thom, it looks like he has been signed to play the father of R&B star Aaliyah in a Lifetime network TV movie about her life. I gather that the project has been in the works for sometime and has had a few issues with casting and the family of the singer. With Alexandra Shipp (House of Anubis) taking the over lead role and talkshow host Wendy Williams exec producing, Aaliyah: Princess of R&B is due to première in the autumn. That is assuming it does not hit further problems.
It wouldn’t be a CCCC-up without mentioning Tracie Thoms (Kat Miller on CC). She’s is a one entertainment industry. The couple of weeks Tracie has been Tweeting extensively about the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. In amongst those messages she mentioned being on set, though didn’t reveal any more than that. For those in the US and with access to the Showtime network you can, apparently, see the woman-on-woman fight to the death movie Raze on there until mid-September. Check EPG for details. This weekend Tracie is due to have her final outing in the For The Record: Tarantino show, which features dramatised performances of songs used in films by writer/director Quentin Tarantino.
