L&O: SVU Renewed For 14th Season

danny_pino_002_430x180 Just a quick post to congratulate Danny Pino and the rest of the cast and crew on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit getting a renewal for the show’s 14th season.

I know the loss of some key cast members hit the show hard last year but it sounds like it did well in the ratings and that Danny and fellow newbie Kelli Giddish have done a great job. The news last week that Mariska Hargitay had signed a deal to remain with the show if it was renewed must have encouraged the network to keep the faith.

Hopefully we’ll see Kathryn get a guest starring role in the 2012/2013 season

Resurrecting The Champ UK DVD

Not sure how this one passed me by.

As luck would have it it ties with the many-themed 2007 posts we’ve been running.

Back in February, the 13th to be precise, the movie Resurrecting The Champ was released on DVD here in Great Britain. If IMDb is to be believed (and I’ve no reason not to) then this is the first official release of RTC in the UK. Quite why it has taken 5 years is unknown. And why did Momentum Pictures choose now to release it?

Anyway, what we have is the most basic of DVDs. It’s just the film. No extras. At least they haven’t claimed “interactive menus” (what else could a menu be?) as a feature! There is no accompanying Blu-ray version either. Reflecting the limited nature of the package is the low cost, it’s a cheap £6.49 (~US$10).

For those that don’t know RTC tells the tale of Erik (Josh Hartnet) a struggling newspaper sports reporter who comes across a now homeless ex-champion boxer (Samuel L Jackson). Erik seizes the opportunity to pen a potentially career-making article. Hilarity ensues. OK, it’s not so much with the hilarity.

Kathryn plays Joyce, Erik’s estranged wife and mother of their son (Dakota Goyo). She is a little older than Erik, works for the same newspaper and, significantly, is a much more successful writer. You know how fragile the male ego can be. Kathryn’s role is not particularly big (somewhere between Minority Report and Cougars, Inc.) but her character is key. She sets the yardstick by which Erik measures his own success, is the prize Erik is really after (he wants to prove himself and become a proper father/husband) and is the moral centre of the movie.

This is another Rod Lurie directed film, one of several that has Kathryn had roles in. Alan Alda (M*A*S*H), Terri Hatcher (Desperate Housewives) and Rachel Nichols (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra) also star.

You can buy Resurrecting The Champ on UK DVD from Amazon.co.uk and find newly added copies of the DVD cover and a poster in the Gallery.

Kathryn On Spring Break 2012?

spring_break_2012_destination_education_150x116 She didn’t really strike me as the type.

Oh, it’s not that spring break

According to an article on the online magazine Society News LA website Kathryn attended an event called Spring Break: Destination Education on the Saturday just gone, the 5th of May 2012. Her name appears in an extensive list of celebs that were present at the event held on the Sony Pictures lot in Culver City, Los Angeles.

The City Year Los Angeles annual party raises money and awareness for work done with at-risk students. At this, the 2nd running of the event, $1.2M was raised by more than 1,100 guests and sponsors with an evening of fun and games. That’s more like the Kathryn we know

You can read the full article written by Ellen Olivier on the Society News LA website and more about the charity on the City Year website.

No further information on Kathryn’s involvement is available at this time and so far no photos have emerged of her at the event. We will let you know if more comes to light.

Kathryn @ 59th Annual Primetime Emmys 2007 – Arrivals

Returning to our 2007 theme we jump from a cold January in Utah at the Sundance Film Festival to a significantly warmer Los Angeles in September. Things have indeed got a little hotter

This, the first of a couple of updates we will have from the 59th Annual Primetime Emmys, we look back at the arrivals or red carpet. “Back” is very much the theme of the photos too.

I’m sure you all remember Kathryn’s amazing red dress with plunging front and the ribbon criss-crossing her back. Just a tug away from… disaster/triumph.*

We last did an update of photos from this event in September 2010. Now we have a further 20 new images of various sizes to bring to you. Find them all in the Gallery.

More photos from the rest of the event will be posted next week.

It’s Been 2 Years

Today marks the 2nd anniversary of the end of Cold Case.

The final two episodes (Almost Paradise and Shattered) of the much loved CBS drama series aired in the USA on the 2nd of May 2010. They completed a 7 season long run totalling 156 episodes.

As we know Danny Pino (Scotty Valens in CC) has gone on to star in the most recent season of the ABC show Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. We are still waiting for news on its renewal for 2012/2013. Most of the rest of the core cast have made guest appearances on other TV shows or had small roles in movies. See KM UK’s “Other Cold Case Cast & Crew” posts category for more details.

Kathryn has been something of the exception. Her non-appearance in Moneyball and role in a short film Sunday’s Mother, which premièred yesterday, has been the extent of of her on camera work. And her public appearances have been “limited” to put it mildly.
