We have a forum, we buy his films at the Internets - shops and we discuss them. I think David and John would be surprised, having found out, that there are such fans of the Australian cinema in Russia. I consider, we have a lot of common! I know, that John Polson has won AFI Award for his role. It is fair! I also know, that he is very active figure of culture in Australia. He is the founder of the film-festival Tropfest, unique festival of short films. Send him my compliments, if you can!<BR/>Unfortunately, I doubt, that we live in one time zone. I live near Moscow. Usually I come here much later. But last three days I had a little holiday, so I could come round here in the daytime.<BR/> <BR/>Rachel, thanks for warm words! I hope, now you will visit my country yourself!<BR/><BR/>Rod, thanks for a greeting! I very much like your style and humour. And you are really part of a history PE now!

Call me Kolokshanka and forgive me all my mistakes: my English is not too perfect, I know.<BR/>Rod, my congratulations, your blog becomes more and more and more interesting! Amusing stories of the witnesses convey an atmosphere of shootings!! I would like to be there! I would like to hear more!<BR/>Viola, you will not believe, but I saw Tran the man! It was in DVD extra to film The Boys! Yes, you are right, very often popularity of the actor does not depend on a degree of his talent, it depends on a talent of his agent and actor's luck. I can say also, that I saw almost all films of Johnny Depp. He undoubtedly is in the list of my most favorite actors!!! But only he is #2. I'm sorry. Johnny is very, very talented, clever and charming! But David has stronger potential and terrific abilities! He is just unique and universal! He is able to play any role under the sun! And he has gold heart. It`s such rare combination of qualities.<BR/> In any case, I shall be madly happy to see both of them in one film! But I am afraid, that the script is written in such a manner that the character of Johnny simply will not allow to all other characters to be developed. In such projects it is the main danger. I do not want, that the film will be one-dimensional and predicted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117455539289623436.post-64924824066484178882008-03-23T23:55:00.000-05:002008-03-23T23:55:00.000-05:00that is http;//wiscnews.com/pdr/news/27805that is http;//wiscnews.com/pdr/news/27805Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117455539289623436.post-60643530707339337972008-03-23T23:53:00.000-05:002008-03-23T23:53:00.000-05:00Great pics of Dorff and Wenham, Michelle.

At one point Johnny's driver came over to talk to him and said smiling, "No hurry, have fun with your people". <BR/><BR/>He told us how he was the Lietenant on Third Watch, which is why he looked so familiar to me, being a fan of that show. <BR/><BR/>He also said that people from New York are nice but they have an angle. He said people from Wisconsin are bottom of the heart nice. <BR/><BR/>He was the best. It made me wonder if the "big name" actors wish they could have these special moments just hanging out and laughing with a crowd of people. It couldn't happen without a lot of hysteria. Everyone was so quiet while he was over and respectful. It was nice to see people ask him about himself and his career. Only one of the younger set asked about "Do you see Johnny?" but was quickly shushed by the rest of the crowd. <BR/><BR/>I got some fun photos of him and some of the other actors taking pictures of the crowd, that when I get all organized, I will shoot your way. <BR/><BR/>It certainly is hard to get back into the swing of "real life".<BR/><BR/>Also, thanks Karen for all of the awesome stuff on your blog. You rock too!Working Slobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13877551733409147658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117455539289623436.post-40726654184350832832008-03-23T12:58:00.000-05:002008-03-23T12:58:00.000-05:00Great blog today about the actors!
