“The Raven” Reading for Astor Benefit

Astor Services for Children & Families has posted the video of celebrities (including Tim!) reading Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” for their Ghostories Fundraising Benefit on YouTube. The benefit featured in-person readings of other stories by White Collar‘s Hilarie Burton and husband Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Supernatural), with Griffin Dunne and Mary Stuart Masterson, as well as the collaborative video reading of “The Raven.”

Tim does a hauntingly beautiful reading of the first stanza of the poem. The video also features Willie Garson, Supernatural‘s Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, Matt Dallas, Normal Reedus, Paul Rudd, and many more. Check it out!

Thanks so much to Astor for posting this, and to all of the actors who donated their time and voices to a great cause!

Best Man Wins on iTunes in September

Thanks to the folks at White Collar Closure TV, who tweeted that Tim’s short film, Best Man Wins, will be released on iTunes on September 12! And it will likely be available for you international folks as well!

It’ll be great to finally see this film, as we’ve been waiting quite a while for it to finish making the festival rounds.

Speaking of festivals, Tim won the Best Actor award for Best Man Wins at the Kolkata Shorts International Film Festival on July 24. Congratulations to Tim, and to everyone involved with the film, which also won the Best Film award!

Happy 17th Birthday, Jamis!

Major thanks to Kathy C. for the heads-up about this!! 🙂

The DeKay family’s home, Stone Pine Farmhouse, is featured in the April 2016 issue of Ventura Blvd Magazine! You can read the article on their website at this link or view the online version of the magazine at Issuu. If it’s easier for you to download and read offline, here’s a direct link to the PDF file.

After doing some research, I discovered that photographer Fraser Almeida has uploaded 65 stunning photos of Stone Pine Farmhouse to his company’s Facebook page!

Here's the edited photos of the celebrities house in California I shot for the actor who plays in the tv show White…

Second Chance 1×05 – Reaction Post

The last couple of episodes of Second Chance set the bar very high, but this week’s episode did not disappoint! As usual, there was a nice mix of humorous and dramatic scenes, as well as lots of quotable lines. We also got to see some great father-son bonding time between Duval and James, and a wonderful sequence involving “older” Jimmy, perfectly portrayed by the amazing Philip Baker Hall.

So what did you think of “Scratch That Glitch?” Share your thoughts in the comments!

Expect spoilers for the episode – so if you haven’t seen the episode yet and don’t want to be spoiled, you should avoid reading the comments on this post until you’ve watched it.

Tim at the Second Chance TCA Panel

Tim and the cast of Second Chance appeared today at Fox’s Television Critics Association panel for the show. We don’t know whether or not they’ll release video of the panel, but we’ve already seen lots of great photos and tweets!

I’ve added the images to the gallery.

They also tweeted a cute animation of Tim with “Arthur” and a Rob build-a-head. 😀

Here are a few of the tweets from the panel. I haven’t included any of the spoilery ones, although there was at least one big one involving Duval.

It was great to see Tim back at the TCAs again, and it looked like he and the cast had a blast!!

In the group photos, the panel attendees from left to right are: Vanessa Lengies, Adhir Kalyan, Dilshad Vadsaria, Tim, Rob Kazinsky, creator/EP Rand Ravitch, EP Howard Gordon, and EP Donald Todd.

Remember, Second Chance airs Wednesdays at 9 pm / 8 central on FOX, right after American Idol! You can also watch the latest episodes on Fox NOW.

Interview With Tim – Everyone Wants a Second Chance

With a week to go before the premiere of Second Chance (Fox, Wednesdays at 9 pm), we’re finally starting to see more press for the show. Melissa Byers (@melissab610) did a great interview with Tim that was posted today on the Television Academy’s website!

Everyone Wants a Second Chance

We learn a good bit about the premise of the show in general, why Tim accepted the role after already playing an FBI agent for the past six years, having Dallas and Vancouver stand in for Seattle, and much more.

Tim also reveals that the pilot for ABC’s Uncle Buck was filmed in the DeKays’ home. Check out this screenshot from the show’s trailer:

Admittedly, I prefer this version of that kitchen:

Thanks, Melissa and Tim, for a great interview!

Merry Christmas – here’s the Second Chance pilot!

Hope everyone who celebrates it is having a wonderful Christmas so far!

Fox has given us a great present this year – they’ve posted the pilot of Tim’s new show, Second Chance, in its entirety! Check it out on FOXNow.

You can also watch on FoxNow at this link: Second Chance pilot. And if you have access to Fox On Demand through your cable provider, it’s available there as well!

Enjoy! And thank you, Fox, for making this a very happy holiday for Team DeKay! 😀
