D.W. Moffett, Friday Night Lights

Hello there all you FNL fans!

D.W. Moffett here, and as they say so very loudly and so very proudly from the canvas rings of Las Vegas, "Let's get ready to rumble!"

You will see how it gets put out (or not?!) over the next few weeks.

So ... here we go!

• This week a little word pops up - "re-districting." It will have great ramifications on our little show over the next few weeks, so keep watching for that.

Funny, when we filmed the episode "Knockout," I was ... read more

This week, we're in Tucson, Arizona, building a home for the Bell family - Mike and Kathy with their two girls, Lizzie and Alicia.

Seven weeks after Lizzie was born, the doctors diagnosed her with Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA). DBA is a rare blood condition, present at birth, which is characterized by a failure of the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Less than 700 kids in the world are stricken with this disease and Lizzie is one of them. The only thing that has kept Lizzie alive for the past 14 years of her life are ... read more

D.W. Moffett: A Very Good Lie

Lie To Me

Guest-starring on a show is like jumping onto a moving train. You always hope there's someone on the train to help you up when your feet start dangling and it looks like you might get squashed on the tracks. A show that is up and running is like a big family. Everyone in the make-up trailer knows each other and all the camera guys and the grips and electricians know each other and have already decided which guys get kidded about what every day, and there are all kinds of inside jokes flying around and it's a bit like ... well, yeah, jumping onto a moving train. Sometimes it feels like everybody speaks ... read more

This week we're in El Paso Texas to help out the Ruiz family Maria, Jesus, Elizabeth, and Jesus (Junior). Twelve years ago, Maria and her family stopped construction on their home and turned their efforts toward assembling a small army to feed poor families in El Paso, TX and across the border in Juarez, Mexico. Everyday, Maria and her husband Jesus bring food, clothing, and supplies to thousands completely free of charge. Maria and Jesus both work multiple jobs to support their family and the foundation. Maria was even recently recognized as one of the "Top 10 CNN Heroes of 2008" for her selfless work.
 
In 1996, when Maria began her charitable foundation, construction on the Ruiz home was ... read more

D.W. Moffett, Friday Night Lights: "Game of the Week"

Hey FNL fans! Remember what I told you about those pregnant storylines getting ready to pop? Well brace yourself — more pops are on the way! When I got the script for this week's episode, "Game of the Week," I found out what my character was going to be up to for the final episodes of the season. I was so shocked that I think I walked around in a daze in during the filming of this episode. You will see that I'm not in it much, so I spent my time walking the streets of Austin and thanking my lucky stars for the storyline that had been placed in my lap. Are you intrigued?

All I can say is stay tuned for ... read more

Rocky Carroll, NCIS: Role Models, Spin-Offs and Extreme Emotions

Hello again,

As always, thanks for reading and respond to this blog. I really enjoyed reading your responses to the last entry. It's great to hear about the people who motivate and inspire you. I have to believe that Ms. Streep is fully aware of the impact she's had on a generation of actors. I'd love to someday tell her how she impacted my life, but if that doesn't happen, it's still OK.

This is a very interesting topic. When a performer understands their ability to influence others, it colors their decisions and gives them a profound sense of purpose. There are projects/roles that I have turned down or ... read more

Ghost Whisperer

Hey Everybody!

Next Friday ... next Friday ... yes, next Friday's Ghost Whisperer is a very special episode. A tour de force, actually. You don't want to miss it! And to get you in the mood, we've created a unique Ghost Whisperer Online Scavenger Hunt. More on all this in just a few minutes, but first, let's deal with this week's haunting episode.

In "Delusions of Grandview," just as Melinda (Jennifer Love Hewitt) goes out on a limb, agreeing to show Sam/Jim (David Conrad) what she actually does with the Spirit World, a bizarre and dangerous case falls in her lap. An elementary school in a newly renovated building is haunted by its former residents — the inmates of an insane asylum! Melinda and Sam's delicate new bond is stretched to the breaking point when Melinda is finally forced to tell him the truth about ... read more
