[07 Apr 08]*** Richard returns to
"Desperate Housewives" for May episode ***
-- Richard returns to Wisteria
Lane for a single Season 4 episode, which is expected to air Sunday,
May 4th at 9:00pm ET.
Episode 4.14, titled "Opening Doors," finds Karl (Richard
Burgi) and very pregnant new wife Marisa catching ex-wife
Susan
(Teri Hatcher) unawares as they sign up for the same Lamaze class.
Susan is accompanied by daughter Julie (Andrea Bowen) as husband
Mike (Jamie Denton), conspicuous by his absence, has a previous
engagement. As if seemingly having been ditched by her husband wasn't bad
enough, Susan looks at Marisa and feels decidedly underdressed in her comfortable,
but stained, sweats. Verbal sparring between the exes no doubt ensues.
When the next class rolls around, Susan and Mike come swanning in dressed
to impress. When Karl comments that they're rather overdressed for Lamaze,
Susan spins an improbable tale of their hectic and fabulous social life,
which leads Marisa to lament that Karl never takes her anywhere.
Karl, of course, is not fooled, and has to work to hide a smile when
Mike reveals he has recently been in rehab for abusing prescription drugs.
Will this one-off episode be parlayed into additional chances for Karl
to bedevil Susan as they each strive to raise newborns with their new spouses?
Only series creator Marc Cherry knows for sure.

[07 Apr 08]*** Richard films commercial
for 2008 Cadillac DTS DeVille Touring Sedan ***
-- Richard spent
part of late January filming a commercial for the 2008 Cadillac DTS
DeVille Touring Sedan. He joins a growing roster of television and
film actors -- Kate Walsh ("Grey's Anatomy," "Private Practice"),
and Martin Henderson ("The Ring," "Torque") driving the Cadillac
CTS, and Brian Bloom ("Smokin' Aces," "Drive") driving the Cadillac
Escalade -- who have recently filmed commercials for Cadillac vehicles.
While little is presently known of the commercial, we assume it will
be stylistically similar to those for the Cadillac CTS and Escalade, which
have generally featured exciting night-time shots of the various vehicles
intercut with interior shots of the vehicles and the actors driving while
delivering their lines.
As with the earlier Cadillac commercials, we expect Richard's to be
added to the Cadillac website when it premieres on television.
Learn more about the 2008 Cadillac DTS at the Cadillac website:

[07 Apr 08]*** Richard's episode
of "Just Shoot Me" airs on TVLand cable channel ***
-- Richard plays
action hero -- and Mama's boy -- Robert "The Nomad" Galatin
in "Mum's The Word," airing Tuesday, April 8th at 8:30am and Wednesday,
April 9th at 3:30am.
Nina Van Horn (Wendie Malick) is returning to the Blush offices
when she literally walks into famed action hero Robert Galatin, who is
filming an episode of "The Nomad" on the sidewalk outside.
Each is immediately smitten with the other and Robert is soon eagerly
pursuing Nina, appearing in the Blush offices with flowers in tow. Nina
accepts Robert's invitation to an evening of romance, never expecting to
be joined by Robert's diminutive, yet domineering, mother.
Natually, the two women are almost immediately at odds, and Nina tells
Robert he must send the aged materfamilias packing if he expects to win
her affections. Robert quickly gives Mother her marching orders and
turns his eye towards the approving Nina. Unfortunately, Mother's hold
on her son is strong, and the sight of her shawl sends Robert reeling,
becoming increasingly frantic and filled with doubt until he is bawling.
When an insistent tapping on the door proves to be Mother, Robert crops
to his knees and wraps his arms around her, crying "Oh, Mother, Mother,
never leave me, never-never!"
Nina takes one look at the shocking tableau and quits the scene in disgust
while Mother Victorious smirks at her.

[07 Apr 08] *** Richard's 2004
movie "Torn Apart" airs on the Lifetime Movie Network Thursday, April 24th
at 6:00pm ET *** -- Richard plays Dr. Billy Westin, husband
of Dr. Vicki (Tia Carrere) Westin. Filmed in New Orleans in May
2004, the film follows Vicki Westin's harrowing race against time with
her family's lives in the balance.
Dale Midkiff plays Jerry Bender, a man unhinged by the death
of his son and his wife's vegetative state, both the result of injuries
sustained in a wreck. Though part of the surgical team treating Bender's
wife, Vicki found her hands tied by bureacratic red tape and bean-counting
and thus unable to act quickly enough to save Bender's wife.
Bender, of course, doesn't distinguish between surgeon and administration
and so includes Vicki in his revenge plot. The other players he quickly
disposes of; for Vicki, a different fate awaits -- Bender abducts Billy
and their daughter and gives Vicki a choice -- she can have one or the
other back, but not both, and she has 12 hours to decide.
Following a string of tantalizing clues, Vicki gets closer and closer
to Bender... but not close enough. With time running out, she choses their
daughter, gambling she'll have enough time to rescue Billy before the 12
hour deadline is up.

[07 Apr 08] *** Catch Richard
when Sci Fi airs "Darklight" on Thursday, May 22rd at 12:00pm ET *** --
Richard headed off to Sofia, Bulgaria in late July '03 to join the
cast of UFO Films' "Darklight," a Sci Fi Channel Original Production
for the 2004-05 broadcast season. Richard played William Shaw and
was joined by Shiri Appleby (Roswell's Liz) as Lilith.
Star
Trek's John de Lancie and Stargate: Atlantis' David Hewlett
also star in Darklight. Principal photography began on July 28th and wrapped
the week of August 18th.
The Sci Fi Channel's listing for "Darklight" gave this description:
"A secret society fights evil with evil in this atmospheric original
thriller.
Shiri Appleby (TV's Roswell), Richard Burgi (The Sentinel, SCI FI Pictures'
Decoys), John de Lancie (Q from the Star Trek franchise) and David Hewlett
(Stargate Atlantis, SCi FI Pictures' Boa vs. Python, the indie hit Cube)
star in this tale of an ancient demoness named Lilith, who has been captured
by a secret society known as The Faith.
Her true nature concealed by a powerful spell, Lilith lives as a 24-year-old
woman with no memory of her ageless past -- until William Shaw (Burgi)
of The Faith recruits her to help him stop the Demonicos, a rampaging monster
that is spreading a lethal plague across the Earth and whose only vulnerability
is to Lilith's unique mystical power, known as Darklight.
As the duo race to slay the creature, they unwittingly expose a treacherous
conspiracy within The Faith itself. Lilith has the power to set things
right -- but now she has been reawakened to her true nature, will she resume
her own evil ways? Trusting her is a life-or-death gamble for humanity,
but it's one that William Shaw has no choice but to take."

[07 Apr 08]*** The Sentinel now airing
in original, uncut form on Canada's SPACE: The Imagination Station
***-- SPACE is now airing The Sentinel Monday-Friday at 6:00pm
ET.
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.
Space begins its "Sentinel" run with Season 1's "Switchman," the series
pilot episode. The broadcast roster then follows the show's original UPN
run, with "Siege," "The Killers," "The Debt," and "Cyper" rounding out
