Katherine Justice and THE NEVERMORE CHRONICLES


July 23, 2015
By jemartin 



It’s a very common tale. Actresses have thriving careers in TV and Film, then they hit their 40s and 50s, and wham – the work dries up. Take a tour of IMDB and you can see it over and over.

It’s nothing new, it’s the very thing that Billy Wilder afflicted Norma Desmond with in “Sunset Boulevard”. Talented people are marginalized because they don’t fit some Hollywood standard or can’t guarantee a certain ROI. 

The tragic part is, these women don’t WANT to stop working. The choice is taken away by people who fail to see the value, experience and talent behind the wrinkles that come with being “a certain age”.

As an independent web series, we have the opportunity to throw those doors open again. We should, and I will, and I don’t care about casting standards, or Hollywood’s stupid interpretation of value, age and talent.

I am very proud to have worked with Katherine Justice on The Nevermore Chronicles. She worked on shows and movies that I grew up with, she got to kill Kirk Douglas in a movie – COOL! She is a rare talent and she deserved better than being put out to pasture in the 90′s.

She’s made me rethink all our casting choices. We are an independent web series, we control every aspect of production. If I can’t make a positive change, even just for our show, then shame on me.

For the last several years, Ana Alicia Ortiz (Melissa on Falcon Crest & Alicia on Ryan's Hope) had said she was getting back into acting, taking classes, going on auditions, but has now decided to focus on producing. She has launched Quebrada Entertainment, a scripted and non-scripted film and television company that seeks to create sophisticated, socially-relevant content that speaks to all generations

Jimmy Deshler (Rafe Kovich, Jr., GH) has been appearing on The Astronauts Wives Club

Tim Stickney in a video for MTV's Decoded. I don't know what kind of oxygen chamber/regeneration pod/ancient Mayan altar he has at home but the man is pretty much aging backwards at this point.

I hope Ana-Alicia hasn't closed the door completely on returning to acting.  Any one of these teen- and young adult-obsessed series cluttering up the airwaves could use her as a devious mom or grandma.

Susan Lucci was inducted as Disney Legend over the weekend.

Nathan Fillion and Miss Piggy.Oh Viki, you thought Joey and Dorian was bad? See what your baby boy is getting into now!

 

 

 

Lauren Roman (ex-Laura Kirk, AMC) seems to have her own Youtube channel. Most of it was just religious material but she also put up an acting reel.

I just don't know but I wonder what lasting damage this entire process will eventually do to those kids.  I hope none but being a child of divorce myself, I cannot imagine that they'll be left completely unscathed from this.
