More 'As You Like it' performance photos

:Smacks self for not finding these until now:



The rest here

My partner in Fred-crime also observed that this blog is very very toned down, and anyone knows me or has seen my LJ will agree, but if I spent every post squeeing you would never be able to figure out what the hell I was trying to say.

EDIT:

Also a whole bunch, albeit lesser quality but still FRED, here

New Interview(07.23.08)

Here

Frederick Weller is at something of a turning point in his career: he’s beginning to be recognized by cops, cashiers and people on the street. The reason why the striking 36-year old actor is getting such public recognition is his appearance on the new hit series "In Plain Sight," which successfully debut this past June on the USA Network. On the show he plays a whack-out U.S. Marshall who with his partner (played by Mary McCormack) assist those in the Witness Protection Program.

I think Fred is a different age in every interview I read. Say it with me kids, 42(No shame in it when you look like that!) And aside from that, his recognition of absolutely deserved.

"As You Like it"/rehearsal pictures

I stumbled upon these thanks to insomnia.


The reaction to this picture alone was the exact definition of a 'Wellergasm'. I hope you know what you do to us, Fred. And keep doing it.

In Plain Sight renewed for a second season!

(A couple days old, yes, but Fred related and amazing. People wouldn't watch if not for Marshall.)

IN PLAIN SIGHT, USA Network’s newest original scripted series, will return for a second season with series star Mary McCormack (“The West Wing,” “Private Parts”) returning. The series, created/written/executive produced by David Maples (“Home Improvement,” “Huff”) and executive produced by Paul Stupin (“Dawson’s Creek,” “Beautiful People”), has been given a 16-episode order and will start production in October. IN PLAIN SIGHT will once again be shot entirely on location in and around Albuquerque, NM. The announcement was made today by Jeff Wachtel, executive vice president, USA original programming & co-head, original programming, Universal Cable Productions.

Also, tonight's performance of As You Like it was once again canceled. Here's to hoping weather permits tomorrow!

Article and Interview Archive

The whole reason I decided to make this blog was to get the word out about Fred. His career includes so, so much more than just Marshall Mann(though, Marshy will always be in my heart) and in order to find anything out you'd have to spend a good amount of time on google, which I've done and compiled a list of what I've found. As if you ever needed a reason to love Fred even more,which I never think is possible, then he amazes me, here are about a billion reasons from his own mouth.(And, I was mentioned on the Commonwealth's rehearsal blog, and considering I only started this blog on the 22nd, it's an awesome thing to see!)

Weller in Boston

Currently, Fred is starring as Orlando in the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company's production(the summer tradition also known as Free Shakespeare) of "As You Like it", directed by Steven Maler. His wife, Ali Marsh, plays Celia, the closest friend of his character's love interest.

A few articles have been written, both in which Fred is interviewed. A picture and article where he talks mostly about his character here(Broadway and TV actor Fred Weller comes to Boston for Shakespeare’s sake) and a more lengthy one, the article itself talks briefly about Azalia and also a thought on In Plain Sight, here(Class reunion)


The show (which is totally free) started on July 18th and will run through August 3rd at the Boston Common Parkman Bandstand, then at Springfield Forest Park from August 8th to the 10th. More info can be found here at the Commonwealth's website.
