I can honestly say I've never been on a show that was so in touch with and grateful to its fans. Well deserved!

So I'm pretty impressed that I managed to create two ways to watch videos here at my web home - compiled into reels, or as individual clips. I hope you like it (because it gave me a few extra brain-wrinkles).

(There's a little bonus on the Clips page, for your dog-lovers. Enjoy!)

Partly because it is as classic as theater gets, partly because it's a privilige to be able to see Alan Mandell and Barry McGovern play Beckett, and partly - ok, mostly - because Hugo Armstrong is my friend, and it makes me totally giddy that he's doing this role in this show with these people.]]>The Return of Abby Mayshttp://www.rebeccametz.com/home/2012/3/24/the-return-of-abby-mays.htmlRebecca Metz2012-03-24T20:26:39Z2012-03-24T20:26:39ZJust another rerun, really, but this role will always have a special place in my heart. 

The Abby Mays episode of Nip/Tuck will re-air Friday March 30th at 10pm on LOGO. Check your local listings, blahdy blah.

Without giving too much away, I arrive home to find the place crawling with your favorite LAPD officers - and to some bad news about my son. A certain key character had better hope I don't find out what really happened...

It's a great show, and this episode will be directed by Allison Anders, whose work I've admired for years - so I'm extra excited.

More info to come!

 

]]>Happy New Year (& New DVD Releases!)http://www.rebeccametz.com/home/2012/1/3/happy-new-year-new-dvd-releases.htmlRebecca Metz2012-01-03T22:58:34Z2012-01-03T22:58:34ZHappy 2012 everyone!

It sounds like a lot of people were happy to see 2011 go - but don't we always feel that way? 

For yours truly, 2011 was a big year. I got married, worked with Timothy Olyphant, performed for sold-out houses at the Kirk Douglas Theatre, and spent 2 weeks in South Africa. So you won't hear me complaining. Just a hearty, "MORE PLEASE!" for 2012.

Speaking of my Justified co-star, Season 2 comes out today on DVD and BluRay. If you don't watch it for me, watch it for Margo Martindale's Emmy-winning and totally incredible season-long performance. Some of the best acting tv has seen in a long time, I say.

I hope you and yours had a fantastic holiday season, and that you're as happy as I am to take the lights down and get back to business!

Scrubs - 10/7 @ 9pm on TVLand

I run a kennel... But not for animals. It's an idea they'd been holding on to for several seasons, and I got the offer without an audition. Love those!

 

Gilmore Girls - 10/9 @ 11am on ABC Family

One of the few shows that would being back actors to play different characters. This was my first appearance - I showed up again two seasons later as Ann the Gilmore's Accountant, opposite it-girl Melissa McCarthy.

 

Happy watching!
