alternate student edits on the film's eventual DVD release. (Variety
David Rooney)

31/12/03
(Happy New Year! - all the best to you and yours in 2004)
- From the Gotham
Gazette: "Each year, Gotham Gazette asks some bold face New York
names to make their predictions for the city in the new year. Of course, we
are not Page Six, and so we attract more standard typeface policy wonks than
models, actors, or rock stars....": Gale Harold,
actor from Showtime TV show "Queer As Folk": "The Republicans
will stage a big event at Ground Zero for the 2004 convention in a display
of unfortunate opportunism." (t!)
23/12/03
- Some good news for Wake fans. It
looks like things are underway to get the film into a wider release. A foreign
sales sales company (Echelon) will be responsible for selling the world wide
rights at the American Film Market, as well as negotiating cable and North
American theatrical release. Please stay tuned for updates.
19/12/03
- Unless there are two trilogies in the works out there called Fathers
and Sons, Lauren Graham from Gilmore
Girls apparently has a part in the film Gale is in. According to
an interview she did this past June, she makes a brief mention of her role,
and the film "will probably be out on Showtime in six or seven months
or so...". You can access the transcript here
- the Fathers and Sons mention is near the bottom of the
page. Thanks muchly to dear Tali for the scoopage.
17/12/03
- IMDB has
updated their Fathers and Sons information.
05/12/03
- As part of Showtime's (and specifically Robert Greenblatt's) plan to seriously
promote/launch Queer As Folk, the cast has been asked to attend Showtime's
day at the bi-annual Television Critics Association, otherwise
known in the biz as the Press Tour, in Hollywood in early January. This is
an important event where all the critics from newspapers and other media (worldwide)
come to screen episodes, meet casts and producers, etc., so they will write
reviews/give publicity to the shows. Typically this is for new shows or shows
that have made major changes, but rumour has it that Mr. Greenblatt believes
so strongly in the show that he personally wants to re-familiarize the press
with the cast and show. Because the TCA is during the cast's Christmas hiatus/vacation,
there is no confirmation on exactly which cast members will be in attendance...stay
tuned.
25/11/03
- Something to look forward to for the fans of QAF, as the cast reportedly
shot their Season 4 photos and promos this past weekend.
20/11/03

the 2nd Street Time episode. As with the first clip, you'll need RealOne Player
to watch it and click 'ok' through any pop-up ads.
24/09/03
- Head on over to eBay:
"The producers of Showtime Network's popular series Queer As Folk have
generously contributed an autographed vintage looking French Connection UK
(F.C.U.K) bomber leather Jacket worn on Queer As Folk by Gale Harold to this
auction benefitting the ACLU
of Southern California. The piece includes a wardrobe tag and poloroid
of Gale Harold holding the jacket. It is signed by Gale Harold. The jacket
is rust colored and size large. It was worn in season 2, episode 9."
(thanks to Barbara for the heads up)
23/09/03
- 36k update! Don't worry, I haven't
forgotten about it. If you can wait just a few short weeks, I should have
more substantive information as to the release date and ordering procedure
for the DVD. Hopefully I'll have a surprise or two to add to the mix. ;-)
23/09/03
- A little more info (and a correction) on the Vanity Fair shoot: Sharon Gless
*was* present, along with the rest of the cast. Also, several photos were
taken - combinations of cast members from the different shows represented.
There is still hope that one of them will make the cover of the issue, which
would be great! Oh, and white seems to be a colour of choice where apparel
is concerned, at least for one of the shots.
21/09/03
- The October 1st episode of Street Time, featuring Gale, is called "Smack."
19/09/03
- The Vanity Fair shoot was done yesterday in Culver City, with about 36 people
involved in the group photo. Also, due to the Oscars airing in February this
year, the cover of the Feb '04 issue of VF will most likely be Oscar related.
There will still be a terrific feature article on the proliferation of gays
in Hollywood, though. For those who have asked, apparently the only QAF cast
member who wasn't there was Sharon Gless.
18/09/03
- Scott Lowell has
confirmed that "Season 4 [of Queer As Folk] will be 14 episodes and is
tentatively scheduled to start March 7, 2004. Definitely March but for now
the first Sunday, like last year, is the specific date that's been penciled
in for the premiere." (As usual, Showcase will probably follow by about
a month for the premiere in Canada) He also mentioned the optimism about a
fifth season, as reported here 01/09/03.
18/09/03
- Showtime
has updated their site to include video clips of Gale's episode of Street
Time, entitled "Gone." For those of us who can't access Showtime,

- Congratulations to Aaron Woodley: The press corps, which consists of more
than 750 international media, voted on the Discovery Award. The recipient
of the Discovery Award is Toronto filmmaker Aaron Woodley for RHINOCEROS EYES
(USA), a dark fantastical tale about a prop-house employee, Chep (Michael
Pitt), who has a loose grip on reality. From the Festival
Site.
11/09/03
- New photos from the Toronto Film Festival here
and here (about 1/2 down the page). Thanks, Christa!
(For those interested, there are some snappies of Fab from two of his festival
appearances here)
08/09/03
- Not his uncle's nephew: An interview with Aaron Woodley
at cbc.ca.
08/09/03
- From Variety: Also generating interest
is "Rhinoceros Eyes" from helmer Aaron Woodley, who will quickly
escape the designation as David Cronenberg's nephew if his first film is any
indication.
07/09/03
- PB&A's got Rhinoceros Eyes After Party pictures!
05/09/03
- Updated
with hopefully better quality clips, LOL. My cable was nice to me today. Well,
nicer anyway. :) Here's the interview,
and here's the film
clip from Rhinoceros Eyes
on the Red Carpet/Festival Schmooze.. (WMV zipped, etc.)
05/09/03
- From cbc.ca:
...And if there's no film from Cronenberg, at least there's one from his nephew,
Aaron Woodley, who directed Rhinoceros
Eyes. Which, when you think about it, is a gutsy move. If 2003
turns out to be a good festival, people will remember it as the year young
Mr. Woodley's career was launched. If it turns out to be a bad year, however,
it will go down in history as the year that was so bad, they even showed a
film by David Cronenberg's nephew. My money is on the former. (tali!)
From canoe.ca:
RHINOCEROS EYES David Cronenberg's
nephew, Aaron Woodley, makes his feature directorial debut with an oddity
that has insiders buzzing with delight.
From eye.net:
**** (four star review) An original black comedy about a delusional young
man who'd get along just fine with Donnie Darko, Rhinoceros
Eyes is an audacious debut for Toronto filmmaker Aaron
Woodley. Chep (Michael Pitt) is a reclusive clerk
in a movie prop house who falls for an art director (Paige Turco)
who has very unique requests. As he struggles to fill them and win her heart,
Chep's fantasy world collides with a real world that often seems just as absurd.
The delightful animations and twisted humour recall Tim Burton's
early works and the hallucinatory power and overheated sexuality of the climactic
sequence confirms that Woodley has learned some lessons from his uncle, David
Cronenberg. And the fact that Chep spends much of the film wearing
a Tor Johnson mask makes Rhinoceros Eyes just that much cooler. (b!)
04/09/03
- Both Gale and Fab Filippo (his movie Hollywood
North is also screening at the Toronto Film Festival) are on the official
list of attendees at the festival, released today.
04/09/03
- From the Hollywood
Reporter: For Aaron Woodley, filmmaking is a family affair. Woodley, who
will see his debut film, "Rhinoceros
Eyes," bow at the Toronto International Film Festival, was
first inspired to make movies in 1978 when, as a 7-year-old, he visited the
Toronto film set of "The Brood," a B-movie directed by his uncle,
cult filmmaker David Cronenberg. In describing his first movie, Woodley says:
"It's a fantastical tale, sometimes over the top, with comic book overtones;
it's very dreamlike and surreal." The Canadian filmmaker makes ample
use of stop-motion animation to blur the line between dreams and reality for
the film's cast of characters, which includes Michael Pitt
(2002's "Murder by Numbers"), Paige Turco
(CBS' "The Agency") and Gale Harold (Showtime's
"Queer as Folk").
01/09/03
- Some QAF updates for you all: The cast is due back in Toronto on September
22nd to prepare for the first day of filming of Season 4 on September 29th.
Wardrobe fittings, welcome dinners, and read-throughs, oh my! (Shave and a
haircut? Two bits. heh) Optimism is the word for the likelihood of a fifth
season, as the new president of Showtime, Robert Greenblatt, is rumoured to
be a big fan of the show. Although nothing is set in stone yet, and official
word will not be available for some time to come, cast/crew and fans of the
show can have some high hopes for a renewal for another season.
30/08/03
- From the Toronto
Star: Let the buzz begin. We asked 28 experts to give us their three top
picks for the titles to look out for at the film festival...Piers
Handling, festival director: "Rhinoceros
Eyes, Aaron Woodley: "Being David Cronenberg's nephew doesn't
hurt but this first feature, centring on a youth who works in a prop shop
and which mixes fantasy and horror, sounds more than intriguing."
26/08/03
- Rhinoceros Eyes updates from
TIFF
site: Screening
times - Saturday, September 6th at 9:15pm (Cumberland 2)
and Tuesday, September 9th at 2:30pm (Uptown 3). Rhinoceros
Eyes unfolds in a prop shop, the last stop for the detritus of pop culture.
The hero, Chep (Michael
Pitt), is a slightly addled orphan who has been adopted by the shop’s
belligerent, easily distracted owners – a motley crew who leave Chep
alone to fetch the items clients request. Actually, they pretty much leave
Chep to do all the work since his comically ferocious boss, Bundy, is fixated
on tracking down a bunch of gorillas who roughed him up in a bar. Chep becomes
fixated on a stunning art director named Fran (Paige Turco). He’s immediately
smitten (perhaps because she seems to have strolled out of the B-movies he’s
obsessed with) and doesn’t blink when she asks for a truly bizarre “prop.”
Determined to impress her, he becomes increasingly reckless in his pursuit
of her weird requests. Unfortunately, Chep has a rather idiosyncratic take
on reality: the objects in the shop gradually start to talk to him and, before
long, they give him some disturbing advice... >>more on the Rhino
Eyes page.
24/08/03
- From gay.com:
Gay faves John Mahoney (cranky Martin Crane of "Frasier")
and Gale Harold (slutty Brian Kinney of "Queer as Folk")
are taking on the new movie "Fathers and Sons."
The two actors, along with Bradley Whitford, Samantha Mathis and Kathy Baker,
are among the cast of the independent feature about a trio of L.A. families
who all live on the same street. The film was shot in three parts by three
different directors; Mahoney plays dad to redheaded hottie Ron Eldard in one
segment, while Harold portrays a prodigal son in another. Shooting wrapped
in August, but there's no word yet on a premiere date.
24/08/03
- Photos...PB&A's got new
photos from Uncle Bob!

17/08/03
- To respond, in one fell swoop, to many emails I have received regarding
the magazine shoot posted below, the cast is indeed scheduled for a photo
shoot for Vanity
Fair magazine in mid-September in Los Angeles. Unlike the Details/W
magazine spread, which was basically advertising/promotion for Showtime, this
is a cover story/feature article on the proliferation of gay shows in Hollywood.
Queer as Folk and its cast are scheduled to be included with other gay-themed
shows such as The L Word, Queer Eye for the Straight
Guy, and Will and Grace. This
is quite the honour and great 'buzz' for QAF. It is scheduled
to appear in either the January or February, 2004 issue. I'll let you know
as soon as I hear the exact date.
13/08/03
- QAF cast photo shoot rumourville: Word is that the cast may be doing a photo
layout for a major, upscale magazine later in the year for a proposed print
date of January/February, 2004. The cast is scheduled be part of a compilation
piece with stars of other television shows.
13/08/03
- Fathers and Sons update: Hollywood
Reporter (page 4) - Fathers and Sons revolves around
the intertwined tales of three families who grew up on the same street focusing
on the relationship of fathers and sons. The final chapter with (Jared) Rappaport
at the helm, follows the homecoming of Elliott (Harold) to his estranged family
(Barbara
Barrie, Joe
Bologna, Lisa
Edelstein). As his father dies, Elliott meets and falls in love with a
woman (Vinessa
Shaw).

please email your comments to

- From the Hollywood
Reporter (page 22): "Gale Harold is set to do a two-episode arc on
Showtime's cop drama "Street Time," in which he will play a drug-addicted
rock star out on parole. After finishing "Fathers and Sons," an
independent film trilogy toplined by John Mahoney and Samantha Mathis, Harold
will segue into the Street Time role. He will play a Jewish doctor who returns
home to help his dying father in a segment directed by Jared Rappaport. Harold,
who co-stars on Showtime's "Queer As Folk, " recently filmed the
indie features "Rhinoceros Eyes" and "Particles of Truth."
He is repped by the Gersh Agency and Suzanne Dewalt Management."

update: Elliot Parker and his father (played by Joseph Bologna) are at odds;

- The bad news is that Gale had to send his regrets at the last minute the
night of the Wake screening at the Maine Film Festival. The good news is he
had to be in Los Angeles to take a role in an independant film called Fathers
and Sons, which is a "trilogy of sort." Other cast members
are said to include Kathy Baker, Barbara Barrie (who was outstanding in the
L&O episode Gale appeared in), Joseph Bologna, Lisa Edelstein, Joanna
Gleason and John Mahoney. Gale's character? Elliot Parker. What's his story?
Stay tuned for more...

xtra.ca:
The small but visible queer contingent at last week’s annual Much Music
Video Awards show seemed more interested that Queer As Folk’s Gale Harold
showed up and sported a very sexy beard then dishing about Ashanti’s
dress featuring a leopard skin train. Harold, by the way, is currently promoting
his new film Particles Of Truth.

Terry, and is bringing the pooch to City Hall tomorrow. That's where State
Democratic Senate leader David Patterson and gay activists will give MacLaine
an award for lifetime - or is it lifetimes? - achievement for her work in
the gay community. Then it's off to XL in Chelsea with fellow award winners
Rob ("Chicago") Marshall, Sharon Gless, Marty Richards, Gale
Harold and Robert Gant. And Terry, too.

- RedlandsDailyFacts
says-- PARTICLES
OF TRUTH: Jennifer Elster's debut feature has generated some
heat since it screened last month at New York's Tribeca Film Festival. It's
an unlikely Manhattan love story between a painter (Elster) and a writer (Gale
Harold of "Queer as Folk'), she still carrying the baggage of being raised
by drug-addled parents and he a reclusive germophobe who spends hours on end
in his BMW SUV. (Gee, wonder which character the Los Angeles audience will
relate to more easily?) >>read

- From PlanetOut.com:
Ready to see Brian Kinney kissin' girls? "Queer as Folk's" Gale
Harold, who's given Kim Cattrall her only competition in the bedding-men-on-TV
department, falls for females in two upcoming films, "Particles of Truth"
and "Rhinoceros Eyes." "Particles," which recently premiered
at New York's Tribeca Film Festival, is the feature debut of director-slash-star
Jennifer Elster. Harold plays her love interest -- that is, if you can call
a character who's a recluse and sits in his car a lot a "love interest."
"Rhinoceros," still in postproduction, stars Harold as a singing
and dancing detective -- and costars "Hedwig and the Angry Inch's"
Michael Pitt. Sounds more than a little queer to me.

about the relationship between a woman dealing with her father’s drug-addled

a nice car," said Queer as Folk actor Gale Harold, who plays the scribe.
"I mean, it has really nice wheels and tires and leather seats and a
sun-roof."

and a special cross-over appearance by Fred Thompson (NBC's "Law &
Order") as District Attorney Arthur Branch. The episode begins when the
body of a murdered 14-year-old girl is discovered in a back alley. Detectives
Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Stabler (Christopher Meloni) discover the victim
was a missing Pennsylvania teenager believed to have been kidnapped eight
months earlier. However, when the detectives uncover a link between their
victim and a prominent New York physician (Dr. Lang, played by Gale Harold)
who specializes in reproduction therapy, they also stumble across a group
home for alleged runaway teenaged girls.

will be Gale's prime-time broadcast network debut," says "SVU"
executive producer Neal Baer. "We wanted him because we wanted someone
who's very charismatic to play a doctor involved in cloning experiments. It's
a far departure from what he's played in the past." It

27/02/03
- From Liz Smith's column in today's NYPost:
A GAGGLE of types descended on the Tribeca Grand to join W and
Perry Ellis for the third season premiere screening of Showtime's gay soap,
"Queer as Folk." Gale Harold, who stars as the
series' not-always-likable protagonist, says this off-beat hit is "a
work in progress that will never entirely satisfy those who look to it as
a reflection of their lives. It can never tell every story completely nor
can it be as complex as its critics hope for."Considering the graphic
nature of some of "Queer as Folk," Gale was asked about his show's
big following among straight females? He shrugged: "Why is that a surprise?
A big thing with heterosexual men is watching women together. So maybe our
show has discovered some new aspect to female sexuality. Can that be bad?"
Gale, who was so effective in last year's off-Broadway offering "Uncle
Bob," hopes to do more work in the theater during his TV hiatus. He also
has two movies in the can. So playing "gay" doesn't seem to be hurting
this good actor.
19/02/03
- Word has it that the cast will be featured in the Ultimate Cable edition
of TV Guide (US only). Since the premiere is just a few weeks away, my guess
is that it would be in the next issue. Be on the lookout for it.

- The official web site for Particles
of Truth is now up and running. Check it out!

magazine, which should be on your local newsstands now.

- A new Wake clip has been uploaded - this one is at the official Wake
site, and is in .mov format which is viewable with Quicktime.
