I tried again, this time waiting a couple of minutes, but nothing happens.

...I don't know what you're talking about Vlad. Were there two African American actors on DS? And an Asian actor?
I hope they'll work on the angles, lighting, etc., so the place doesn't scream CALIFORNIA! so blatantly.
AI = American Idol
I had a nice discussion with Mark Verheiden, Co-Executive Producer of the new Dark Shadows on Sunday, March 28 at the 12th Annual Creation Sci-Fi Summit. Notes of our discussion and pictures are (URL). Note: also contains other materials since it was not an exclusive Dark Shadows convention.
just as long as they don't cast William Hung as Mr. Nakamura.
Frid wasn't offered a role per se; just a cameo appearance as an "ominious" figure who warns Victoria Winters on the train about going to Collinwood.
Seriously, though, I just figure that given this is the WB network, the casting director is obligated to make a few non-acting choices and must keep the target audience in mind ...
Vlad, you seem to think that there are insufficiant numbers of stunningly beautiful people out there who also happen to be talented, well trained, professional actors.
I hardly think that can be true, considering how many young people today are enrolled in serious Film and Theatre programs.
That being the case, why on earth would a business enterprise like a film studio stoop to hiring untrained talentless models to be performers in TV pilots....which surely must be among the most expensive new "products" produced by any business in America?
In other words...who in their right minds would risk the money it takes to make a pilot, by hiring a kid who can't act, just because they're cute......when cute kids who CAN act are lined up around the block?
But to be fair to Jason Shaw, unlike some of Calvin Klein's models, apparently he's modeled much more than underwear for Tommy Hilfiger and Versace, and he's appeared in ad campaigns where the clothes he wore weren't the focus of what was being sold (i.e. Karl Lagerfield fragrances).
Also, keep in mind, Vlad, that you yourself have said that the WB DS casting director is no slouch. So, chances are that he must have seen more than the obvious in Shaw...
