All's well that ends well...

I'm wrapped. The crew finished the final scenes for the season finale today (December 18th) and I shot my last work yesterday. It was amazingly bittersweet to walk away last night. While I will be thrilled to fly home and be reunited with my kids and my wonderfully tolerant and supportive wife I will be leaving behind an incredible group of people. It probably sounds like a hollow Hollywood platitude to say this but the crew on "Flash Gordon" have truly been a family away from my family. The energy on the set was always upbeat, fun and self deprecating. Everyone worked really hard with limited resources and did increasingly fantastic stuff. I'm very proud of how much better the show got as the season went on and I'm happy to say the six episodes yet to air are by far some of the very best we've done. Whether there's a second season or not and whether I'm a part of it or not (cliffhanger!) is yet to be determined. Regardless, I hope you give the new episodes of season one a look in 2008.

To all my fellow cast mates (Gina, Eric, Jody, John, Karen, Anna and all the other regulars and guest players) thanks for putting up with me. The gag reel at the wrap party last Saturday night reminded me how much fun it was to work with you all and how much I will miss the experience day to day.

Last of all...thank-you viewers and fans of "Flash Gordon". We didn't make a show that pleased everyone (is that possible?) but if you were able to enjoy our efforts at all then I'm glad we could entertain you. It's an ephemeral experience doing a series. It begins and ends in the blink of an eye, the lights on the stage go dim before you know it and the actors must exit stage left. Thank-you for letting me perform for you.

Until next time...Adieu.
