[23 Dec 09]*** Catch Richard
in "Thomas Kinkade's Christmas Cottage," airing on Lifetime TV in December
***
-- "Thomas Kinkade's The Christmas Cottage" premieres on Lifetime
TV at 9:00 and 11:00 pm December 19th and airs again Christmas
Day, December 25th at 9:00pm.
Richard Burgi spent nearly three weeks in British Columbia, Canada,
in May '07 filming "Thomas Kinkade's Christmas Cottage," a movie based
on the early life of famous painter
Thomas Kinkade. The film covers
a pivotal period in the young Kinkade's life and explores the experiences
that led him to a career as an artist.
Richard plays Kinkade's father, Bill Kinkade, while Oscar winner
Marcia
Gay Harden plays Kinkade's mother, Maryanne. Thomas Kinkade is played
by Jared Padalecki, brother Pat Kinkade is played by Aaron Ashmore,
and Kinkade's painter mentor, Glen Wessler, is played by multiple Oscar
nominee, Peter O'Toole.
The film, distributed by Lionsgate, premiered on DVD on November
11th 2008 and is now available for purchase at the Amazon.com site
and at your local DVD retailers.

[23 Dec 09] *** Catch Richard
as Officer Bracke when "Friday the 13th" airs on Cinemax channels *** --
"Friday the 13th" will air from December 19th 2009 - January 30th 2010
on Cinemax, ActionMax, and MoreMax premium cable channels.
Richard joined
Jared Padalecki ("Supernatural," "Thomas Kinkade's
Christmas Cottage"),
Derek Mears ("The Hills have Eyes II"), and
Nana
Visitor ("Star Trek: Deep Space Nine"), among others, in the
Platinum
Dunes produced reimagining of the 1980's horror hit, "Friday the
13th."
Richard plays Officer Bracke in the movie, which is set between
the events of the first and second "Friday the 13th" films; Pamela (Nana
Visitor) Voorhees, Jason's mad, mad mother and the actual killer of
the first film, is dead and already enshrined in Jason's (Derek Mears)
hovel hideaway, while Jason is all grown up and ready to take up his mother's
machete.
Jared Padalecki plays Clay Miller, a journalist drawn to Camp
Crystal Lake in search of his missing sister; Richard's Bracke represents
the long arm of the Law in the Crystal Lake area and, while sympathetic,
cannot offer Clay further help with the unsubstantiated disappearances.
As is usually the case with the Crystal Lake constabulary, Bracke soon
crosses paths with Jason and is quickly -- and cringe-inducingly -- dispatched.
Information on the Cinemax, ActionMax, and MoreMax airings can be found
at the Cinemax website:
http://www.cinemax.com/apps/schedule/ScheduleServlet
The film premiered in theaters on Friday, February 13th, 2009, and launched
on DVD in June.

[23 Dec 09]*** Richard guests with Lena
Olin on February episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit ***--
Richard guests with Lena Olin (Alias, "The Reader") and Russell
G. Jones in "Confidential," the 13th episode of the current
season. "Confidential" is scheduled to air at 9:00pm ET on Wednesday,
February 3rd 2010.
Richard plays Richard Morgan, a man described in casting sides
as a "Master of the Universe" -- someone who is a "slick, charming, cunning,
manipulative and regal billionaire investment banker, skyscraper-owner,
Ponzi schemer..." Morgan is also described as "disarming and likeable"
at first glance, but a "true sociopath" underneath the facade. He also
"enjoys taunting the police when interrogated."
Lena Olin plays Ingrid Block, Morgan's high-powered attorney,
while Russell Jones plays Morgan's head of security, James Hopkins.
Hopkins is apparently the first to realize a woman has been abducted from
Morgan's building.
Presumably Hopkins' discovery leads to Morgan's involvement in the case
and eventual investigation by the officers of the Special Victims Unit
-- primarily Detectives Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) and
Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay).

[23 Dec 09]*** Richard
attends 6th Annual Artivist Film Festival Awards as presenter on December
5th *** --
Richard Burgi joined celebrity presenters and guests
such as Maria Bello, Frances Fisher, Kathleen "Bird" York, Benjamin
Bratt, Joshua Leonard, Daphne Zuniga, Persia White, Debra Skelton,
and Fox 11 news anchor Christine Devine at the Egyptian Theater
in Hollywood for the December 5th event. This year's Awards were hosted
by actor and comedian Kevin Dunn and began at 8:00pm, followed by
a catered event in the Theater forecourt.
Richard presented the Award for Best Feature Film - Animal Advocacy
to "Ice Bears of the Beaufort" by Arthur C. Smith III. The Artivist
website gives the following description of Smith's film.
"Stunning, unrushed cinematography and editing, natural sound without
narration and a sparse music score by Patrick O'Hearn transform Arthur
C. Smith's documentary into a meditative plea to save one of the earth's
most powerful -- and comically playful -- animals. This documentary is
witness to Alaska's Beaufort Sea coast as a critical polar bear habitat,
endangered by efforts to drill for oil. Five years in the making by a single
resident of an Inupiat Eskimo village, the film is a color-intense, cinematic
portrait of Alaskan polar bears never before captured. The body of the
documentary chronicles polar bear activity and year-round use of the coastal
and offshore areas of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the adjacent
Beaufort Sea."
As per the Nov 24th press release on the event: "Actress, and
activist Olivia Wilde and Actor Hank Azaria both will accept
the Artivist Award, honoring those artists whose exemplary work
in their community stands out as a shining example of one person's ability
to change the world for the better.
Also receiving an Artivist Award will be respected producer and
President of Rhino Films Stephen Nemeth. Stephen is well known for
his tireless advocacy on behalf of numerous causes including the Wildlife
Ecostation, Wheels For Humanity, Children Uniting Nations, Shine On Sierra
Leone, OneVoice, the Veggie Van Organization, LACMA, Amnesty International,
Rock the Vote and more."

[23 Dec 09] *** Richard's Season
6 Desperate Housewives run as Karl Mayer likely drawing to a close***
-- Karl, who was gradually reintroduced into the character mix during the
last month or so of Season 5, has been busy romancing, bedding, and finally
proposing to the increasingly conflicted Bree Van de Kamp Hodge (Marcia
Cross) as Season 6 has progressed.
Richard's contracted ten episodes will come to their conclusion along
with the ill-starred romance between Karl and Bree in episodes 6.10 and
6.11, when series creator Marc Cherry has promised a shocking climax
to the Karl/Bree storyline.
"Boom Crunch," episode 6.10, serves as the mid-season cliffhanger and
revolves around a small plane crashing into Wisteria Lane generally and
the Hodge manse specifically, trapping several people. At last report,
five people were expected to die in the aftermath. As Cherry has announced
that this episode will feature the "shocking conclusion" to the Karl/Bree/Orson
triangle, it seems increasingly likely that Karl is not long for this world.
Cherry gave reporter William Keck some hints as to those fated to die
in the December 6th episode. Says Keck:
"Exec producer Marc Cherry tells me the plane crashing into Desperate
Housewives’ December 6 Christmas party will claim three characters’ lives
-- one minor, one central and one biggie who’s been on since Season 1.
As for that longtime cast member, Cherry says, “The fans are going to
be sad over this one, but it was a good time to end this character’s story
line.” (I’d start digging a grave for either Ricardo Chavira’s Carlos or
Richard Burgi’s Karl.) The producer praises his fired actor for taking
the news “with a lot of class” (unlike a certain blonde who blasted the
show after her exit last season). “This person stood up at our table read
and told everyone what a joy it was to be a part of the show,” he says."
The cliffhanger will conclude in episode 6.11, titled "If..." which
will air when the show returns on January 3rd, 2010.

[23 Dec 09]*** The Sentinel returns
to SyFy for January 21, 2010 daytime marathon ***-- The Sci Fi Channel
-- now known as SyFy
-- is airing an 8-episode "Marathon" block
of The Sentinel from 8:00am to 4:00pm ET on Thursday, January
21st, 2010.
Richard Burgi plays series lead Jim Ellison, a former
Army Ranger now working as a detective for the Cascade PD in his Washington
State hometown. Ellison finds himself almost overwhelmed when his dormant,
and repressed, hyperactive senses are brought back online after a period
of solitude on a remote stakeout. Anthropology doctoral candidate Blair
Sandburg (Garett Maggart), whose chosen field of research is "Sentinels"
-- people with such enhanced senses -- has the answers Ellison needs to
control and work with his powerful and unpredictable abilities. Ellison's
long-suffering captain, Simon Banks (Bruce A. Young) helps Ellison
and Sandburg make the most of Ellison's sensory advantage by watching their
backs and keeping their extrasensory escapades under the radar as much
as possible.

The Canadian-market DVD includes an assortment of deleted scenes, the

help explain some aspects of the film which are confusing or vague in the
theatrical release, and Richard's scenes and bloopers are hilarious. |

Richard appears in the episode "The Message" as Lt. Womack, an unscrupulous
Alliance Enforcement officer. Womack is after an old war buddy of Malcolm
and Zoe's and is quite determined to get what he's after.
Had the series continued, Womack would probably have become a recurring
character. |

[23 Dec 09] *** Write to Richard care of
the RBFC! *** -- Richard has asked us to encourage anyone interested in
sending cards or letters to him to use the RBFC mailing address, which
is listed below. This allows Richard to better handle
his incoming mail, which he certainly enjoys receiving, provided it comes
through appropriate channels.
Mr. Richard Burgi

We cannot emphasize strongly enough that mail should not be
sent to Richard's home address! Receiving fan mail through his
home address is a disquieting experience and cause for concern, especially
from the standpoint of privacy and safety. If you have come across
what you believe may be his home address, please, do NOT use it! We
-- and Richard -- would greatly appreciate it if you would let us
know where you came across the address by using this e-mail
link to the RBFC.
While postcards, letters, and cards will be promptly forwarded
to Richard, we cannot forward packages; he has asked that no gifts
be sent to him. Though Richard appreciates the goodwill and generosity
those gifts represent, he finds them a little overwhelming. Richard
would be honored if, instead, wellwishers made a donation in his name to
a local children's shelter or literacy program, or to the Pacific
Marine Mammal Center . |
