While everyone is breathlessly awaiting more Desperate Housewives, it seems Gale has been sneaking around L.A. working on an indie film called Passenger
Side.
Let's see if I can link: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt1227170/ ETA: Apparently not! Noxin, help!

I see that "ducdebrabant" is fizzing about Gale still, in the rather short stump of board-comments devoted to Passenger Side (2 entries). Jemmied
open a mental crevice from the past, that name.

Thank you.
Yes, I saw that name on the TV guides sites when I was reading up on DH. Once a QAFer, always a QAFer, it seems |

Going to work on the name, implied is a driver, with a side. As well, the passenger side is riskier (I know, got a coupla nephews).
Added: Duc was noting that 'Karl' (Gale) lists four from top in the cast, deducing a significant role. More: and here's a snippet.

Thanks for the link, that's interesting. What on earth is a "strong loonie"?

Are we sure Gale is in this puppy? Yeah, I did see a cast list someplace and he was there, down the list. Sounds like this is a really, really low budget
film. Sometimes these do very well, of course. But not usually. Maybe he's just treading water, waiting to see how DH pans out.

Yes, he's in it. It's listed on IMBD but there's no way at this point to see the size of his role. The filmmakers are pros - and Gale has some past
connection with the director, although I'm not sure what. The good part is that it already has a deal for cable TV, so we should have a decent chance of
seeing it. As far as is known, he is scheduled to be in DH in the upcoming season, but they're on hiatus now, so he is doing other work. All to the good as
far as I'm concerned.

Maybe the 'strong loonie' is the Canadian monetary unit. Shows how hard I've been tracking THAT, wouldn't know its name (dollar?), but stands
to reason with the greenback weak the neighbour currency goes into reverse-advantage, the finance is north the hiring south, of the border.
To illustrate, it's no surprise a certain Brit dyed-in-the-wool character actor should pop up as the ROME town crier in HBO/BBC's (presumably) Canadian-directed series, that's just like DEXTER and its Brit villainess in Season 2. We're used to seeing Brit hirelings go where they're sent (it was Italy for ROME),. it seems to figure, to be natural, like gravity. But it's startling to see the same Brit character actor turning up in BLACK DAHLIA - set in LA - as a pathologist, and now speaking to Josh Hartnett in a dyed-in-the-wool yankee voice. The loonie, if that's right, now does the planning / casting (of JH and Character - plus dialog-coach - alike) / hiring ..... while the shooting's right back where it began.. Added: loonie. Skip down to "Terminology" and the pic of the 2-dollar coin (which seems to be what's spoken of) below that, if all the fackspeak makes you glaze over. More: from the graph far under the pic it looks as though the loonie and greenback were about parity in January, with the loonie headed north and who knows where after that? Big loonie peak came in 2007, much too long ago to be the 'strong' unit spoken of, so you'd guess the speaker was meaning a general past weakness, relative.

Ah, got it. I keep hearing people speak about the Canadian "dollar," so I never heard the term loonie before. The Canadian dollar has been much
stronger than the American for quite awhile now, so it makes sense.
Thanks. |

Thanks should go to the one that asked... oh that's you! Me, sure I noticed this odd phrase, and just like that bye-ee it shot in the blither. Thanks right
back!
