Cold Case Cast Catch-up – May 2019

tracie_thoms_001_430x180 “Previously on…” April’s CCCC-up was looking like a struggle to find anything to post about. We did OK though. That’s nothing compared to this month. Yes, May 2019’s news round-up from the careers of the other members of the Cold Case cast could well be slim pickings indeed. Read on.

Much of the news we report on regarding Tracie Thoms (Kat Miller in CC) is not about her work in front of the camera, but her work treading the boards. It has been announced that Tracie will be taking to the stage again at the end of June will star in Working: A Musical. The show is based on a 1974 book by Louis “Studs” Terkel and looks at every day workers and what that work means to them. Helen Hunt (Twister) is amongst the cast and Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton) has contributed two new songs to the updated production. The New York City Center hosts the musical for 4 days from the 26th of June. The afternoon performance on the 29th will be followed by a Q&A by the cast and crew.

As mentioned last month Tracie reprised her guest starring role in the Fox network emergency service drama series 9-1-1. Contrary to some sources the show, as reported on KMUK last time, aired on the 13th of May. Looks like her character (Karen) and her wife (Aisha Hinds’ Henrietta) had a major family decision to make.

In John Finn (John Stillman in CC) news last month we linked to the first trailer released for the new Showtime series about the late Fox News creator Roger Ailes. Due for a June 30th start, a second more lengthy trailer has been made available. No sign of John in this one either. His role is likely to be quite small, and if the info on IMDb is accurate he may only be in the first episode. The show has lots of big names in it including Russell Crowe (A Beautiful Mind), Naomi Watts (Tank Girl), Seth McFarlane (American Dad), and Sienna Miller (Layer Cake). View the new trailer HERE.

Reverie S01E01 – Apertus Full HD Screencaps

Apertus Summerus HDus

I’m sure the Harry Potter fans amongst you can do a lot better than me.

A cliché it may be but starting at the beginning just feels so right. ‘Apertus’ was the name of the first episode of the far too short-lived NBC sci-fi-ish VR-based drama Reverie.

The show starred Sarah Shahi (Person Of Interest) as an ex-hostage negotiator brought into a virtual reality tech company to help with some problem customers. She’s not there to sort out a compensation deal or write an NDA. No, Mara needs all her persuasiveness and empathy to encourage VR users so caught-up in the fantasy world they’ve created for themselves to leave. Their reasons are varied and complex so it is up to Mara and other members of the team to do the detective work IRL and in VR.

Kathryn’s Monica Shaw works for the Department Of Defence, not surprisingly interested in the ability to put people in life-like VR, has her own agendas, and involved herself in the company.

We didn’t get to see much of Kathryn in this opening episode but got to see that wonderful smile in the short time we had in her company. A much missed highlight of any show.

Now available in the KM UK the Gallery is a new collection of full HD (1080p) screencaps from ‘Apertus’.

Summer Of HD 2019

How long has it been since we did a proper Summer Of HD, KM UK’s series of gallery updates? Years, to be sure.

To mark the anniversaries of the various Reverie episodes we will be bringing you new and exclusive full HD (1080p) screencaps, and some larger promo photos. In a few instances the promo photos are massive! Huge I tell you! Well worth waiting for.

As the first episode of Reverie aired on the 30th of May last year we will start there. Join us on Thursday.

1, 2, Miss A Few, 10!

CC_100th_430x200 Happy Birthday to KM UK!

The big cake is out. The cast and crew is all stood around. Danny is a little too close for comfort. Yes, KM UK hits another anniversary.

Somehow this site has lasted 10 years. There can’t be many fan sites that have managed that. OK, we’re getting on a bit now. We are getting slower, more forgetful (missed the recent annual Cold Case ending post for a start), and a little deaf in our advancing years. What’s that? A cup of tea would be lovely. Thank you dear.

There is always the hope of the metaphorical blue pill of a new piece of work to cover. The Dirt caught us all unawares! And, there is still plenty of archive material and a few previously unmentioned items.

Join us for that and more in the next 12 months, and thanks to you for checking the newspapers and milk haven’t been piling up outside the door during the last 12.

Cold Case Cast Catch-up – April 2019

tracie_thoms_001_430x180 The April showers have largely stayed away. Speaking of showers lets take our regular look at the news of the other members of the Cold Case cast in the April 2019 CCCC-up. Not a particularly busy month but some important updates.

She’s not been our headline act for a few months so we’ll give her top billing for April. Tracie Thoms (Kat Miller in CC) recently finished filming in the Fox TV multi-emergency service drama series 9-1-1. She will be in the season finale due to be broadcast on the 13th of May. Two weeks ago Tracie added another notch to her extensive and varied guest starring roles post. This latest outing is in and episode, ‘Book Club’, of NBCs brand new comedy show Abby’s, which is set in an illegal bar in the titular character’s backyard. Natalie Morales (Parks And Recreation) and Neil Finn (Scrubs) lead the sitcom.

Back in 2016 Tracie starred in a series called Sidetracked, we covered it on KM UK several times back then. The actress Adrienne Wilkinson (Xena: Warrior Princess) has for a number of years now being collecting interviews and posting them under the banner The Mouths Of Babes. Just added is a compilation of chats with members of the cast of Sidetracked. Watch it HERE.

Lastly, for Tracie, we have a full movie release available to everyone for free. OK, it’s only 9 minutes long but it is the whole thing! The short film Are We Good Parent? has been published on Vimeo by its maker, Bola Ogun. Tracie and Sean Maguire (The Class) struggle to deal with their teenage daughter’s (Gabrielle Skye Goodman, Speechless) sexuality, but not in the way you might think. You can view it HERE.

The Showtime network’s take on the late Roger Ailes will première on the 30th of June. Ailes was the controversial driving force and CEO of Fox News. He very much set the tone and output of the station. The series, The Loudest Voice, charts his is rise and fall with playing Russell Crowe (Gladiator) the man himself. Naomi Watts (Mulholland Drive), Seth McFarlane (The Orville), and Sienna Miller (American Sniper) also star. John Finn (John Stillman in CC) will play Jack Welch, the CEO of General Electric who appears to be very much in the Ailes mould. See a trailer for the show HERE.

Not sure when this first became apparent but it looks like John is climbing back into the director’s chair for a short film, having done so previously on a couple of episodes of Cold Case. Saved Rounds is about an Iraqi war veteran and a final mission they feel compelled to complete. Doc Farrow (Young Sheldon) is ‘Doc’, the vet in question. In an ‘it’s a small world’ moment, Doc Farrow stars in a movie project based on Roger Ailes’ life. John Lithgow, Margot Robbie, Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, Alice Eve, Kate McKinnon, Connie Britton, Stephen Root, Allison Janney, Rob Delaney etc. etc. star in that film due for release at the end of the year. Saved Rounds is being targeted for a release this year, presumably on the festival circuit.
