DEAN CAIN - Christmas Rush
Dean Cain sera à Winnipeg (Canada) à la mi-avril pour le tournage d'un nouveau film "Christmas Rush", dont il sera la vedette aux côtés d'Eric Roberts (deuxième rencontre pour les deux acteurs qui ont déjà travaillé ensemble dans "No Alibi"). Il semble donc que les fans d'Outre Atlantique auront le plaisir de voir un film avec Dean à Noël.

DEAN CAIN - Gentle Ben !
Une "gentille" incursion dans le Monde du Cinéma par JOSH FRIEDMAN
Quand il s'agit de faire des films "originaux", Animal Planet n'a apparemment pas besoin d'aller braconner sur les terres d'HBO et de Showtime.
Laissant aux autres les trucs à sensation , la chaîne animalière ouvre ce soir son programme cinématographique avec un film chaleureux et agréable "Gentle Ben", tiré de la série télévisée des années 60 racontant l'histoire d'un petit garçon se prenant d'amitié pour un ours (série diffusée en France dans à la fin des années 60 sous le titre "Mon Ami Ben").
Quand le jeune Mark (Reiley McClendon) vient passer ses vacances chez son oncle Jack (Dean Cain), garde forestier à Heartbreak Bay, son voyage se transforme en aventure. Après avoir appris la disparition de ses parents dans un accident d'avion, Mark, la mort dans l'âme, rencontre par hasard l'ours Ben dans une mine désaffectée et le sauve. Mais lorsque l'impitoyable fermier Fog Benson (Corbin Bernsen) soupçonne Ben d'attaquer ses moutons et offre une récompense pour la capture de l'ours, Mark s'engage dans une périlleuse aventure pour sauver son ami.
L'ex Superman, Dean Cain, joue le rôle d'un fort sympathique Monsieur tout-le-monde, un célibataire coincé qui devient malgré lui père de substitution et se montre à la hauteur de la situation. Bernsen, le superficiel Arnold Becker de "La Loi de Los Angeles", est toujours aussi convaincant.
La conclusion inévitable de "Gentle Ben" ne surprendra personne, mais il est difficile de se battre contre son message bienveillant : Pouvons-nous nous entendre avec les autres espèces ?

DEAN CAIN - Larry King Live !!!
Dean a était l'invité de Larry King sur CNN le 28 mars pour parler de son émission "Ripley's Believe It Or Not" qu'il produit et présente sur TBS. Voici la transcription complète (en anglais) des meilleurs extraits du show :
LARRY KING, HOST : Tonight, a man without a face, a model with more than 200 metal plates in her head. Then, transforming tale of a self-made cat and much more. Astounding stories, amazing people. "Ripley's Believe It Or Not" next on LARRY KING LIVE.
Every Wednesday night at 8 :00 on our sister station, TBS, the program "Ripley's Believe It Or Not" airs. It's one of the hottest top-rated original series on basic cable TV. We did a show on it previously. And it did so well, we thought we'd do another one. And we invite back a whole host of people, including, of course, the host of the show, and he'll be without us throughout this entire program, Dean Cain.
Quickly, you got this job how, Dean, because we all know you as Superman ?
DEAN CAIN, HOST, "RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT" : Well, actually, my company produces the show as well. So I sort of hired myself.
KING : You're in business for -- you're an actor and a businessman ?
CAIN : Yes, sir. Absolutely.
KING : And how did you get the idea to bring Ripley back ?
CAIN : Well, they came to me actually and they discussed it with me first and said would you like to do this ? And we had our own idea on how I would want to do the show and how I want it to feel and look and basically the tone of the show, I wanted to make it very different. And they agreed, and this is what we have now.
KING : The appeal of "Ripley's", which was originally a comic strip, right ? And then there were even museums...
CAIN : Yes.
KING : ... which is what ?
CAIN : Well, there still are. There's about 22 museums, I think, throughout the country, worldwide. The appeal is that everybody likes to look at someone who is different and ask the question, why ? Why have you done this ? Why do you have your hair long like that ? Why do you look like this or why do you act this way ? It's really the fascination with other people.
KING : It's a side-show circus, though, isn't it ?
CAIN : Well, it started off -- Robert Ripley used to say -- high- class freaks is what he used to say. And then it's absolutely evolved into what we have today, which is a whole different ball of wax. What we do today is we certainly don't classify any of our guests as freaks. We say this person does this and this is why they do it and this is why it's important.
KING : And here they are.
CAIN : And here they are.
KING : We'll give you an example of this. We're going to show you a clip of -- might be a typical example of what might occur on a "Ripley's Believe It Or Not." Watch.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP, "RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT") - (COMMERCIAL BREAK)
KING : What was that ?
CAIN : That young lady's knees actually grow backwards. Her leg grows backward at the knee. And she's forced to walk that way. We had a young man on last season who had the same sort of situation. He actually chose to have his legs amputated below the knee and prosthetics attached so he could walk upright. She has chosen not to do that at this point and time. And they told her she'd never be able to walk, but she's proven them wrong by walking as proud as she can.
KING : What an amazing story. When we come back, Ashley Cowen, the quadruple amputee who became the youngest athlete to complete a swim across Lake Erie. More on Ripley after this.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
KING : OK, tell me, Dean, about Seth.
CAIN : Well, Seth, it's pretty simple. He's had the hiccups for over a year and cannot get rid of them. He's in no real danger of dying from this. It's not going to kill him.
KING : He can eat ?
CAIN : Eat and do everything, but he hiccups hundreds of times a day. He lost a girlfriend over it.
KING : I bet. What do the doctors say ?
CAIN : They can't explain it. He's tried every hiccup remedy in the book, out of the book, up side down water drinking. I'm sure he's been scared a million times. Something seems to stop the situation for him. It's sort of an ongoing story. We're going to wait to see what happens to him. He's in no physical danger at this point in time of losing his life or his medical condition.
KING : We had a girl in Miami who couldn't stop sneezing.
CAIN : I would imagine that's more dangerous.
KING : These are terrible things. My old bit used to be nine sips of water and you stopped hiccupping. It worked. CAIN : Let's bring it to Seth.
KING : Seth must be going nuts.
CAIN : It has to be an exercise in mental -- I could not imagine that. It would drive me insane.
KING : You mentioned when the cat guy was on that I'm kind of used to him. I am kind of used to him. You get kind of used to all these people, don't you ?
CAIN : Absolutely. It's funny, you have someone like Cat that chooses to do things like that to express himself and then you have a gentleman like Mark who does that because he has no choice. It's incredible to see the differences. But you find everybody completely committed to what they are doing and you have to be in these situations.
KING : Dean Cain is the host of "Ripley's Believe It Or Not," one of the top-rated original series on basic cable. It's on TBS every Wednesday night at 8 Eastern. And when we come back, you are going to like this, I haven't seen it yet, but they tell me -- John Shied (ph) and his dog Brandy. , the dog with a really long tongue. Don't go away.
KING : We're back with our remaining portions of our salute, if it can be called that, our look the at "Ripley's Believe It Or Not", certainly one of the most unusual television shows on the air. It's based, of course, on the famed Robert Ripley who founded all this. There are museums and there was a famous comic strip. And it's hosted by Dean Cain, who also put the whole package together. It airs every Wednesday night on TBS. And joining us now in this segment is Kelly Packard. Did I say PBS ? It's TBS. Trust me, this is not PBS. Kelly Packard joins us. She is the field correspondent for "Ripley's Believe It Or Not." That means what ?
KELLY PACKARD, "RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT" : That means that I get the fun job. I get to go out and meet the interesting people and talk to them and ask them what the audience at home would want to know.
KING : So in other words, Dean the chicken.
PACKARD : Yep.
KING : He supervises, you go out.
PACKARD : He stays in the studio. I go out and have the fun.
KING : How did you get this job ?
PACKARD : You know, I'm asking myself that same question. No, it was an audition process actually, but one of the easiest audition processes I've ever had. But, you know, they asked me if I'd be interested. And I'm a fan of the show, so it was a no-brainer. And I was actually told by Dean that I got the part. And it was such a great day.
KING : Did you replace a previous field correspondent...
PACKARD : No, no.
KING : ... who maybe was killed or possibly got nervous ?
PACKARD : Not that I know of. This is a new element for season three.
KING : Are you a broadcaster or an actress ?
PACKARD : I'm not. I'm an actress. And this whole hosting thing has taken on its own life form. And I'm thrilled. KING : So, her role is to go out. Do you have other field correspondents ?
CAIN : No. She's our only field correspondent, and she's phenomenal. We have segment producers who are sometimes out in the field in India and places like that. But Kelly's our only field correspondent. And she...
KING : We're going to show a couple of things you did. Your job is to meet outrageous people, right ? What's your approach ?
KELLY PACKARD, "RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT" : You know, it's inquisitive, and this same question is asked to every person I interview. It's, now, what made you think you could do this or how did you decide you could do this. That's generally the question that starts my interview, if you will. It's really talking to them, getting to know them.
KING : Ever wonder if kids would imitate that ?
PACKARD : Yes, I've said that in probably every episode, don't try this at home. That's part of my spiel.
KING : Let's give an example of Kelly Packard at work. We are going to watch a clip from, this is titled -- I don't know what it is. I see these things for the first time -- He'll eat anything. Let's watch.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
KING : That's disgusting.
PACKARD : It was great !
KING : What was he eating there ?
PACKARD : That was cow pizzel. It's the thing that men have.
CAIN : Male reproductive organs.
KING : Where was this ?
PACKARD : That was actually on the corner of Hollywood and Highland where the Ripley's...
KING : Why did I think that would be L.A. ?
PACKARD : Yes, of course.
KING : How did you find him ?
PACKARD : I think in this case he kind of called us and said he could do this. We were instantly fascinated.
KING : You set him up with the audience and everything.
PACKARD : Yes. KING : He laid out all the things to eat.
PACKARD : He did have the choice of some entres and he chose those.
KING : What was that like for you ?
PACKARD : I was nervous about that one. That was my first shoot out of the block. And I was scared because I am a very picky eater. And I have a hard time with smells. They wanted me to be this close to this man. I was thinking, OK, I can do this, and I proved I could do it and I was genuinely...
KING : Does that make the rest easier ?
PACKARD : The rest have been totally easy from there.
KING : Of course if you don't eat a lot of foods like -- could you take that, Dean ?
CAIN : No, you couldn't pay me to eat that.
KING : What does this guy do ?
PACKARD : I think he's a construction worker. Something very ordinary. Of course his girlfriend was in the audience. So I had to ask her. I said you kiss him. She's like, yes, he doesn't do this all the time. Well, that's good. KING : Does he ever go out and go to mcDonald's or does he eat the billboard ?
PACKARD : No, he only does it on special occasions, as he says.
KING : We'll see another clip of Kelly at work. You do terrific work.
PACKARD : Thank you.
KING : Here's kelly. We'll call this one and then we will ask about it, the leg archer. Let's watch.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
KING : Where was that ?
PACKARD : Lsu in Louisiana. Interesting place.
KING : I grew up with a the lot of people. Knew a lot of boys and girls. Did you know anybody that said, you know what I want to do I want to go upside down and with my leg shoot a bow and arrow.
CAIN : Not until I got this job.
KING : Why does she do this ? And what is her point ?
PACKARD : She's so fascinating to talk to.
KING : Acrobatic.
PACKARD : I'm personally intrigued by it because I would love to be half that flexible. She loves to test herself and see what she can do and this thing she's been working on for a long time. To accomplish it that night in front of 25,000 people.
KING : Was it as an LSU game ?
PACKARD : Yes, the biggest game they've ever had.
KING : How did you know your schedule ? How does it work ? Do they tell you on Monday you're going here ? PACKARD : They are giving me pretty good notice, like a week or so. That one I had about a week to know I was going to go to LSU and do this performance. They the let me know with good time.
KING : They fly around with the crew.
PACKARD : Yes.
KING : How much do you have in the can we haven't seen yet ?
CAIN : Probably about eight episodes that haven't come out yet and about nine segments per episode. So about 72 pieces that haven't been seen.
KING : Do you ever say to yourself there's nothing going to top this.
PACKARD : I have said it and I quote, this is the greatest job I'll ever have. It's so much fun.
KING : You're not acting now ?
CAIN : PACKARD : No, this is so much fun. It's such an easy schedule. I can do other things.
KING : Do you still get to act, Dean ?
CAIN : Absolutely. I did five films last year and plenty of time to do more films this year. I spend most of my time, really with my kids. It's a phenomenal job in that respect for that too. We aren't the ones doing these incredible things. We just talk about them and watch people do them. Fortunately we don't have to work like you do on a one-hour drama.
KING : Are you married ?
PACKARD : I am.
KING : Does your husband like your doing this ?
PACKARD : Yes, he's fascinated. He likes to go to the shoots and definitely says he wouldn't do.
KING : What does he do ?
PACKARD : He's actually in medical school. So he's seen worse things than I have.
KING : Thank you. Great meeting you, Kelly. Dean Cain and Kelly Packard. Dean is the host and Kelly Packard the field correspondent. It airs every Wednesday night on TBS. We hope you found this interesting, entertaining, enjoyable, enlightening and enjoyable. Let's all go have some water. Thanks for joining us. Stay tuned for NEWS NIGHT WITH AARON BROWN. Good night. .

Après l'échec de sa première sitcom "Say Uncle" l'année dernière (entendez par là que le pilote n'a jamais été diffusé par CBS), Teri revient avec une nouvelle sitcom "Why Me ?" dont elle sera la productrice et l'actrice principale. "Why Me ?" raconte l'histoire de Meg (Teri) qui tient le jour une boutique de toilettage canin et qui partage le reste de son temps libre entre Guy, son petit ami, et Ella, Kathie & William, ses amis un peu "destroy".
Reste à espérer que Teri réussira à vendre cette sitcom 100% humour à une chaîne pour une diffusion qui serait envisagée à la rentrée prochaine. On croise les doigts !!!
