(August 8, 2006) Just got back
from Virginia, filming the
made-for-TV movie, "First
Landing". It's a story about the
journey to the new world by
Captain John Smith and the
Jamestown settlers in April, 1607
(13 years before the pilgrims
landed at Plymouth Rock!). It's
told through the eyes of the
chaplain, Rev. Robert Hunt. I play
Smith's nemesis Edward Maria
Wingfield, an extraordinary man
who was the first leader of the
colony.
It's set to air on ABC Family
Channel on April 30th, 2007 - the
400th anniversary of the Landing
at Cape Henry. Look for it on a
special broadcast of the 700 Club!
