Nicholas Brendon April update
Nicholas will guest star on the season finale of Without a Trace, which The Futon Critic projects will air May 19. After he wraps that up, he’ll start filming a television movie he’s starring in for Lifetime.
And, finally, we’ve set up an account on Twitter. It’s Nick’s only official presence on Twitter — right now, we’re using it to announce Nicholas-related news.
‘The Quincy Rose Show’ trailer now online
Remember when Nicholas mentioned The Quincy Rose Show in his audioblog? Wanna learn more about it? Maybe check out the trailer? Well, you’re in luck!
The trailer, as well as a breakdown, can be found on Vimeo. Per the description there:
In the half-hour comedy The Quincy Rose Show, Quincy Rose plays a caricature of himself: a witty, neurotic, intellectual misfit struggling to make it as a writer in Hollywood. Though desperate to enjoy the status of a celebrated writer, the last thing he is actually prepared to do is sit down and write. His antics and rituals satirically showcase the many ironies of life set against the backdrop of the entertainment industry — Quincy’s own identity, the greatest parody. As an egomaniac with an inferiority complex, Quincy unabashedly self-promotes the legacies of his father, Mickey Rose, the venerated comedy writer, and godfather, Woody Allen, the prolific American filmmaker, as his own. …
Along for the misadventures are Quincy’s friends, Nicky and James. Nicholas Brendon, as “Nicky,” plays an exaggerated version of himself: an out-of-work actor constantly seeking re-invention, yet unwilling to renounce his seven seasons and 147 episodes of dramatic triumph on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. James Hyde, as “James,” plays a gorgeous but not-so-bright wealth of bad information, insights and distorted ideas. Together, the trio descends to any low, uncovers any privacy, disregards any sanctity in a moral endeavor to serve what they believe most important: their own best interests.
You can find more about the series, as well as a synopsis about the first episode, on its homepage at Vimeo. As for the trailer, it’s embedded below (just a friendly warning — your boss may not find this very work friendly. You may want to watch this at home).
