TWITTER: @HallmarkChannel, @CedarCoveTV, #CedarCoveTV, #HeartOfTV, @AndieMacDowell3, @DylanNealStudio, @terylrothery, @boxleitnerbruce FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 20, 2013 Contact: Pam Slay, 818.755.2480 [email protected] Fowzia Iranpur, 818.755.2614 [email protected] BRUCE BOXLEITNER ADDED TO CAST AS SERIES REGULAR IN HALLMARK CHANNEL’S ‘DEBBIE MACOMBER’S CEDAR COVE’ Primetime Series Stars Andie MacDowell and Dylan Neal; Two-Hour World Premiere July 20 Hallmark Channel announces Bruce Boxleitner (“TRON,” “Babylon 5,” “Scarecrow and Mrs. King“) has been cast as a series regular in Hallmark Channel’s first-ever primetime series, “Debbie Macomber’s Cedar Cove.” The two-hour drama is set to premiere Saturday, July 20 (8 p.m. ET/PT, 7C), with Boxleitner joining the cast regularly as Bob Beldon, owner of the local Cedar Cove Inn, Thyme and Tide. The series is based on the bestselling book series Cedar Cove by #1 New York Times bestselling author, Debbie Macomber and stars Andie MacDowell (”Four Weddings and a Funeral,” “Groundhogs Day”) along with Dylan Neal (“Dawson’s Creek,” “The Bold and the Beautiful”), Sarah Smyth (“50/50,” “Call Me Fitz”), Paula Shaw (“Freddy vs Jason,” “Hitched For The Holidays”) and Brennan Elliott (“Strong Medicine”). As previously announced, Teryl Rothery (“Stargate SG-1,” “Kyle XY,” “Dragon Ball”) has been cast as a series regular playing Grace, Judge Olivia Lockhart’s (MacDowell) best friend. A native mid-westerner, Boxleitner received his formal acting training on stage and is an alumnus of Chicago’s prestigious Goodman Theatre. Boxleitner’s big break occurred when he was cast opposite James Arness in the pilot for the epic TV series “How the West Was Won” and he went on to star in the CBS series “Bring ‘em Back Alive.” In 1982, Boxleitner was cast as the title role in Disney’s cult film “TRON” which garnered him sci-fi fans worldwide. However, it was in Boxleitner’s four-year run for CBS’s “Scarecrow and Mrs. King,” starring opposite Kate Jackson, which endeared him to fans everywhere and made him a household name. In 1994, Boxleitner joined the cast of the popular TV series “Babylon 5” as John Sheridan, President of the Interstellar Alliance. Boxleitner most recently starred with Jeff Bridges in “TRON: Legacy,” the popular motion picture sequel to “TRON.” In addition, Boxleitner reprised his role in “TRON: Uprising” on Disney’s XD TV network, his first animated TV series. Boxleitner was inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City in April 2012, honoring him for his illustrious career in western films and is a two-time recipient of the Wrangler Award. In 1999, Boxleitner authored Frontier Earth and in 2001, its sequel, Frontier Earth: Searcher, published by The Berkley Publishing Group. “Debbie Macomber’s Cedar Cove” is a 16 Lighthouse Road Productions Ltd. production. Executive Producers are Dan Wigutow, Caroline Moore, Ron French, Debbie Macomber and Harvey Kahn. The series is produced by Connie Dolphin with Steve Harmaty as Co-Executive Producer. The pilot was directed by Michael M. Scott, written by Bruce Graham (“Debbie Macomber’s Trading Christmas”) and was adapted from material from Debbie Macomber’s series of books, Cedar Cove. Carl Binder is the show runner for the series.

Since they didn’t have access to a plotter, plans had to be printed on A4 paper and stuck together, in a circle. The small details of the gate had to Tweet be drawn up from scratch, using photos and video footage. The skeleton of the gate is made up of 18 X-shaped pieces, and the spinning part is made from small planks. 89 The intricate stargate symbols had to be painstakingly carved, from wood, and chevrons first had to be carved from Styrofoam. The back of the stargate, though painted in gray, is totally fake, but the front looks realistic enough, with chevrons locking and everything. Thanks to an inner track, it even spins. Mango wasn’t too satisfied with the paint-job, but all in all this is a geeky masterpiece, just like the Stargate Share home-cinema . Be sure to check the video Mango made, at the bottom of the post. ..

  • Page 1 of 4 for Bruce Boxleitner, a Personal Code Shaped by Marshal Dillon
    For Bruce Boxleitner, a personal code shaped by Marshal Dillon - LA Times Page 1 of 4 Classic Hollywood For Bruce Boxleitner, a personal code shaped by Marshal Dillon Actor Bruce Boxleitner at Hallmark Channel's Studio City headquarters. (Jay L. Clendenin / Los Angeles Times) By SUSAN KING JULY 19, 2014, 10:00 AM Y ou might say Bruce Boxleitner owes his career to Marshal Dillon. As a young actor in Hollywood, Boxleitner was taken under the wing of TV superstar James Arness, who had played the heroic marshal on "Gunsmoke." "He changed my life," said Boxleitner. "He was my biggest influence." But Boxleitner, 64, really didn't know the extent of Arness' influence until decades later. In fact, it wasn't until after Arness died in 2011 that Boxleitner learned the actor has been instrumental in having him cast as his nephew Luke Macahan in the 1976 ABC western movie "The Macahans." http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/la -et -st -ca -boxleitner -classic -hollywood -201407 ... 8/ 13/ 2014 For Bruce Boxleitner, a personal code shaped by Marshal Dillon - LA Times Page 2 of 4 "Jim Arness had the final say on who was going to play his nephew," noted Boxleitner, who had had a small part in a 1975 episode of "Gunsmoke." "ABC was pushing another actor. But he saw my screen test." "The Macahans" led to the 1977 spinoff miniseries "How the West Was Won" and a 1978-79 TV series. Boxleitner would later team with Arness on the 1988 remake of "Red River" and 1994's "Gunsmoke: One Man's Justice." "I learned a great deal from him," Boxleitner said during a break in production of his latest series, the Hallmark Channel's "Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove." Not only acting lessons, he said, but also life lessons such as how to behave when you are a star of a TV series.

  • Silver Bells”
    UP PREMIERE MOVIE “Silver Bells” Airing on Sunday, December 1 at 7:00 p.m. EDT SYNOPSIS In the UP Premiere Movie Silver Bells, Bruce Dalt (Bruce Boxleitner) is an ambitious, gung-ho father and local TV sports anchor who approaches the holidays much like he approaches life - competitively. This Christmas, he wants his interior designing wife Piper (Bridgett Newton) to win the neighborhood’s annual holiday house decorating contest. He wants his son Jason (Kenton Duty) to be the winning basketball player on his high school team. And of course, he wants everyone in the family -- including daughter Kasey (Laura Spencer), who is in her first year of law school – to win by securing the biggest Black Friday shopping deals before dawn. Bruce Dalt is all “for the win!” This philosophy, however, has put a strain on his family; especially Jason, who has more heart than competitive drive. When Bruce gets into a physical scuffle with a ref (Kevin Downes) at Jason’s basketball game, the holidays take a turn for the worse. In no time, the video goes viral. Bruce is then sued, suspended from the anchor desk, and sentenced to community service with The Salvation Army. There, he meets Major Melvin Lowell (Antonio Fargas), who patiently guides Bruce while managing his competitive streak. When Bruce encounters the people in his life from behind the kettle, everything – especially his relationship with his son – begins to change. The Dalts are about to embark on the most meaningful holiday season ever -- all thanks to ringing that signature bell. ABOUT THE
