It's during the part now where his main scenes are pretty much done. How could I have missed the voice? ARGH.

I like how in that afterElton article they refer to the actors as "now-famous celebrities" and "many have gone on to big careers." And how often the "handsome cast" was undressed. And Marc Blucas of Buffy fame! And others. Intriguing! And potentially awesome.

I guess there's no rule against double posting. So, here is the screencap of Bret from The OC that I keep meaning to make into an icon saying something like "Yeah this shirt is ugly but soon I'll have my own show." Just because...well, the shirt is ugly. And the whole thing isn't very flattering. But still, endearing. And yay! I figured out how to get the pic in!

You're not weird (unless I am too). The dorky puppy thing is totally my type and Bret's got it going on.

Did not know this:

Eric Forman (That 70s Show) was originally supposed to be replaced by his new friend Charlie, played by Bret Harrison, but the character was killed off after the actor was offered a lead role for the show Reaper.

Holy crap! Bret gives 2 interviews, and uh...gotta say, warning for episode spoilers. Beware.

SCIFIwire.com

CliqueClack

The first is in interview format and is far more detail; the second not so much. In fact, the second article warns you that spoilers will follow.

Great big news about Bret! From The Hollywood Reporter:

CBS snags UMS comedy
Project headlined, co-created by 'Reaper' star

By Nellie Andreeva

Sept 2, 2009, 11:00 PM ET

Updated: Sept 2, 2009, 11:17 PM ET
In a sign that the ice between CBS and NBC Universal is thawing in the wake of NBC canceling the veteran CBS Studios-produced drama "Medium" in May, CBS has picked up a comedy project from Universal Media Studios headlined and co-created by "Reaper" star Bret Harrison.

The untitled project, which has received a script commitment, marks one of the first forays into television for feature producer Scott Stuber, whose Stuber Prods. has been ramping up TV development during the past several months under former 20th TV comedy head Quan Phung.

The multicamera comedy, based on an original idea by Harrison, revolves around two district attorneys -- one in his 20s (Harrison), the other in his 40s -- and the woman between them.

"It's about smart, logical lawyers who realize that logic doesn't work well in the messy and emotional realities of life," Harrison said.

Harrison, who got his start in TV series at 18 with a regular role on the sitcom "Grounded for Life," said he had been looking to do a buddy comedy and took the idea to Phung, with whom he had worked on several series including "Life" and "The Loop."

Robert Borden is writing the script for the project based on a story he co-wrote with Harrison.

For Borden, who co-created "George Lopez," the comedy is one of the projects under a premium two-project script deal with NBC. The other, "Outsourced," is an NBC/UMS comedy he is executive producing with Ken Kwapis.

Stuber's next film is "Love Happens," which opens Sept. 18.

On the big screen, Harrison next appears in "Mardi Gras."

Harrison, Borden and Kwapis are repped by UTA

This has me very excited, I hope it gets picked up. The premise is clever, but more than that, I loved the buddy potential that Bret has in his characters and the idea of him doing another buddy comedy is very appealing.

Congrats to him and best of luck with it.

I guess they'll be casting for it if they do a pilot. CBS though, that's big league right now when it comes to comedies. It will be great to see him on a major network (more pressure to get big ratings though). If they make it to air it will then have to survive against sitcoms that pull 10 million viewers.

Maybe you ought to start gearing up now for your next campaign. ;D

Some more media mentions for Bret's comedy project. It's listed here on this trade site as being in development this week (still untitled):

CBS / Bret Harrison Lawyer Comedy
Pilot
CBS, Universal Media Studios, Stuber Productions
EP: Scott Stuber
W: Robert Borden, Bret Harrison
Two district attorneys find that the logic they apply to their cases does not work as well in their personal lives.

And here in an article on multicamera comedies in THR with a quote:

Even twentysomething actor Bret Harrison, who toplined Fox's single-camera comedy "The Loop," went multicamera for his writing debut, which landed at CBS.

"With what's happening at CBS, I think that's the way the market's going to start to turn," he said, "and I want to be part of it while it's still hopefully hot."

Now is there someone who can explain to me (beyond the obvious) from a production and viewer standpoint what the difference is between a singlecamera and multicamera show?

I don't think there is a big difference for the viewer between single and multi-camera comedies. I certainly don't watch a show and think, "wow, that's some great writing and acting; if only they shot it with a different number of cameras!"

Multi-camera gives a little more editing flexibility, if I understand it correctly. There's a lot about production that I don't know, so I'll let someone else weigh in on that.

Hi. I am sooo pissed that REAPER has been removed from the CWTV.COM Lounge. Another way to vent and talk about not giving up hope on the revival of REAPER. Now I decided to take a peak on the DMV and see that Brett and Ray are on new shows. I am very happy that they are successful with getting a job, and also Tyler, BUT...... are WE NOW GIVING UP AND IS THERE NO HOPE IN A FUTURE FOR REAPER? Sadly, I am not going to watch their new shows even though they are wonderful. I am realistic enough to know that actors move on, and shows do not last forever. I just can't let go. What a whooz I am.
