John Amos: TV Guide News

Super Mario | Celebrity Blogs | 2/7/2007
It is a sad state of affairs here at the Bergl Vancouver household. It's 3 am, and I would describe my living room as a crack den, but it's in such disarray that I would probably offend the crack addicts who read this blog. I think the Super Bowl really took away all my spirit for a while. At first the game was really looking good for me. Not only did Devin Hester do his thing and score a touchdown in the first 30 seconds, but I was also surrounded by various cast and crew of Men in Trees at the White Spot, which is a traditional Vancouver burger joint. Before I watched the Super Bowl with other TV actors, I had never seen anyone eat grilled chicken and steamed vegetables on game day. I won't tell you who the offending parties were, but I suppose we can forgive them for doing something so un-American on such a sacred day, considering we were technically watching the game out of the country. I think you all know the outcome for my beloved Chicago Bears, and the disappointment was... read more be the first to leave a comment
Bed, Bat and... the Bears! | Celebrity Blogs | 1/24/2007
I think I've used up all of my good karma for a long while, what with Men in Trees getting picked up and moved to after Grey's Anatomy, and the swift and crushing Bears victory on Sunday. To be honest, I'm not a huge football aficionado in general, but I am from Chicago, so I really have no choice but to be a rabid and unquestioning Bears fan. Our producer, Rick Wallace, also hails from the Windy City, so we've been spending a lot of Sundays at the local Vancouver sports bar, along with John Amos, who plays Buzz. Here's some Men in Trees trivia for you: John Amos used to play football for the Kansas City Chiefs!You don't have to wait until the Super Bowl to see some Bears action, because we have a very special appearance by a bear on tonight's episode of Men in Trees, "Bed, Bat and Beyond." From the title you may be able to guess that a certain winged creature will also be making an appearance. I know I've been talking about how much we all love each other up here on the show, but... read more be the first to leave a comment
"New York Fiction, Part II" | Celebrity Blogs | 12/6/2006
Welcome to another Men in Trees blog by your friendly host, Bergl. I've just returned from a promotional shoot for the UK launch of Men in Trees, which is very exciting for me because I'm originally from England (my dad is British and my mom is Irish). Did you know that Jason O'Mara, who plays the charming publisher Stuart Maxson, is Irish? He has the most amazing American accent, which you will be hearing again in subsequent episodes. (Ladies, don't you love how they keep adding even more handsome men to the show? James Tupper can't be expected to shoulder all the burden on his fisherman sweater-clad shoulders, which, yes, do look as good in real life.)Jason O'Mara is from Sandycove, which is right around the corner from the town of Dalkey, where my mother grew up. Now our Irish relatives can watch us on Men in Trees. Up until now, my appearances on UK TV were mostly limited to The Rage: Carrie 2 and an episode of CSI: Miami, and in both of these I kill people — most... read more be the first to leave a comment
Scoop! Sex Stud Joins Brothers & Sisters! | Today's News: Our Take | 12/1/2006
Kim Cattrall's Sex and the City boy toy is switching teams. Telegenically blessed thesp Jason Lewis is joining the cast of Brothers & Sisters as a love interest for Matthew Rhys' recently single Kevin. Lewis, who'll appear in at least four consecutive episodes beginning in early '07, plays Chad, a closeted soap actor (as if!) who "befriends" Kevin at an exercise boot camp. In other gay-related casting news, sources say Men in Trees is wooing a fairly big name to play the same-gender-lovin' son of Buzz (John Amos) for a multi-episode arc. Hey, I think this calls for an asterisk quiz! Ready... set... solve: ***a*** ***e*. read more be the first to leave a comment
