DEADWOOD BLOG

H.R.H. Crown Prince Richard Buckley has been working as a casino dealer on Ocean's 13 at the Warner Brothers Lot in Burbank for the past month. He, Stephen Weisbaum, and others have had a great time with the cast which includes Deadwood's Michael Harney (Steve) as the Blackjack Pit Boss. And Elliot Gould, a fan of Richard's father, introduced Buck to George Clooney which has made the experience a lot of fun.

Hey Everyone,

Hope you are all well. I have had a good time the last 6 weeks: first the team that I am on went to the Bonneville Salt Flats located in Utah, in the middle of August, and we got our driver in the 200MPH club and the 300MPH club. We went in the high 200's in the gas class and then we ran on fuel at 325 MPH--not bad for a little 4cyl GM engine. George Poteet is our driver and is very well known in the hot rod circuit. Then on the 16th of September, my wife surprised me with a 60th birthday party with about 110 of my good friends - including Marilyn Monroe. I tried to take her home, but the wife said "no way," so she got the final word. Then I returned to Bonneville at the end of September and we set a new international record with the car at 326MPH.  Also, Steve Fossett, the famous around the world hot air balloonist, flew in and took our car on three runs down the salt not to shabby either: first run at 229, second run at 256, and the last run at 298MPH. Not bad for the first time behind the wheel.

Good luck to all you guys and hope to see ya all soon,
Mark,,,,, Schitz..

Recently I played the character "Big Al" in a movie called "Retribution" shot in Reno Nevada.

Here are some pictures from the shoot and the movie poster

Synopsis: Faced with his ruined life, Jake Solomon seeks revenge on the one person he holds responsible...only to find himself face to face with the "demons" from his past, in this Twilight Zone-esque dramatic-thriller.

Hey all,

Brian Duff, Editorial Assistant at FILMINK Magazine (Australia), emailed:  We have featured Timothy Olyphant prominently in our October issue, out now.

The issue is available internationally through their website www.filmink.com.au.

Hello All,

I managed to land a part in a short historical film about the founding of Clemson University. I played Thomas Green Clemson at age 80. The film was shot in South Carolina at Clemson University in the mansion of John C. Calhoun who was Clemson's father-in-law. What a great time I had while I was there!

Cheers,
Carl Virden

Deadwood Night... Sacred Cowboys, Brigette DeMeyer

Chicago Tribune Review by Michael Phillips at MY WAY Movies

A detective (Adrien Brody) uncovers unexpected links to his own personal life as he probes the mysterious death of "Superman'' actor George Reeves (Ben Affleck) in 1959. A possible affair between the actor and Toni Mannix (Diane Lane), the wife of a studio executive (Bob Hoskins), might reveal the truth.

Come-on! This one's beggin' for a caption

A bunch of the DW gang gathered at several locations for the Season Finale:

and...

Arrrrggg, Mr. Dixon!

Mike Dixon (Gunshop Owner/Bella Capper/and "I don't how many" other occupations on Deadwood) has a new gig.

This is what he looked like then:

...and his new muttonchop look for Pirates 3 where he's the stand-in and body double for actor Kevin McNally who plays the first-mate on the Black Pearl, Mr. Gibbs, in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

On Mike's first day on Pirates, he accidentally (??) climbed aboard Johnny Depp's private ferry and cruised out to the anchored Black Pearl with him. Now doesn't that just sound like something our Mr. Dixon would do?

Quite a few guys from DW are working on Pirates and here are a few shots from the set with Dixon, Gary Sokolowski, Billy Beach, John Stapp and others.

Have you seen the Behind the Scenes: "Day in the Life of Deawood" at HBO.com?

Thank you Nick for the heads-up.

Nick Amandos (Jack Young: Bella Union Bartender)

John LoBiondo sent over a few photos from a little get-together Sunday. He's been working on a movie with Tom Hanks and John Malkovich called The Great Buck Howard.

Hey all,

I've returned and the site will be updated once again; I went back home to Minnesota (and Wisconsin) for a brief vacation and reunion--It was perfect!

Mitch Toles sends the following:

AAAAAND,

We have to mention a bit about last week's episode--it was a good week for DBPs.

Did you see:

Mick Lea pop an eye?

Jesse Mendoza shed a tear?

John Stapp, Red and others in what appeared to me to be an early version of "Country Bear Jamboree"?

The Camp Giant, Tom Stiver, drop a sledgehammer on his nose with one hand?

"The Camp Giant"

and. . . . . . . (I know I missed a bunch, but then that's what the comments area is for--feel free!)

As Deadwood is overrun by Hearst's men, Bullock issues contingency plans to Martha. Wu, caught in a Pinkerton stampede, delivers a cryptic message to Swearengen; it takes Burns, of all people, to decipher it. Barrett makes Merrick pay for embarrassing Hearst in The Pioneer; Morgan Earp calls out one of the "Pistoleros"; Commissioner Jarry arrives from Yankton to solicit Hearst; Aunt Lou gets some bad news; and Joannie survives an encounter with her former boss. As night falls, Langrishe mines Deadwood's talent pool with an amateur-night performance in front of his future theater, financed in part by a loan from Alma's bank.

This Saturday, August 5th, Sacred Cowboys will be performing at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood.

...and,

Grace left a message on the "Welcome" page and I thought I'd post it here for any of you guys to take a crack at.

What is Gerald McRaney like?
That fight scene was really something...and the eye...ugh!
Did any of you guys work on that episode?
Thanks! 

and of course:

From a secret location, a few of the boys got together to watch another great episode: Laviathan Smiles (I smell an Emmy nod for Brian Cox from this Ep.)

PLUS!

Peter Oliphant sent over the heads up on King Straggler:

'King Straggler' has released a song from their second album (I'm guessing since it's not on the first one) called "Rhona". It can be found at:

"Down" is also new...!
