Extra! Extra!

Greetings Fans!
You may have guessed, the previous post was a bit of fun-- although Carol would welcome the opportunity to work with RDA on anything, should the opportunity present itself! Happy April Fools Day!

All kidding aside, Carol will be working as an extra-- er, background actor-- tomorrow on Unborn, which is shooting in the Chicago area. Unborn is a horror movie, written and directed by David Goyer. This will be Carol's first venture into the horror genre. She will once again be working with Gary Oldman, whom we both worked with on The Dark Knight last summer. Carol may also be working with newcomer, and brother-in-law, Charles Miceli, who has recently taken up acting after having entered semi-early-retirement.

Huge News!

Hello Fans,
It is Tuesday, April 1, and OMG! Carol has landed a leading part in a re-make of the 1980s classic television series, MacGyver! Richard Dean Anderson will be reprising his role as the uncommon action hero, and reportedly, Amanda Tapping (from Stargate: SG-1 and now Stargate: Atlantis) will be joining the cast as a recurring love interest for MacGyver.

Carol has been cast as a former employee of the Phoenix Foundation who has turned rogue, and is now working with a foreign agency to sell military secrets to terrorist organizations. In the opening episode, Carol reportedly kidnaps Amanda Tapping's character to blackmail MacGyver into stealing classified documents on a new bionic enhancement program from Area 51. MacGyver must devise a way to break into the top-secret facility, rescue Amanda's character, and avoid handing the secret materials over to the terrorists.

The show will be shooting in Vancouver starting in June, so Carol has started looking for an apartment. The series will reportedly be showing on ABC starting in January 2009.

I can't wait! Congratulations, babe!
... and to everyone else... Happy April 1st!!

UPDATE 4/2: Wow! I never expected I would get such a turnout from the story above. Just to be clear, this was pure fabrication! To my knowledge, there is no such re-make of MacGyver in the works (although, I would love to see one!), nor is Carol moving to Vancouver, nor are RDA or Amanda Tapping in any way involved in any such project (to the best of my knowledge, anyway). Sorry for the false hope, but thanks for stopping by!
