HBO's "Westworld", starring Anthony Hopkins/produced by J.J. Abrams

I only remember him from some Highlander TV thing* and the second season of War of The Worlds. I assume he's rather elderly, now?

*Okay, I don't strictly remember, but I've heard people talk about it.
 
You must be thinking of someone else, Aaron Paul (edited to add link) is 39 and has only been acting since 1998.
At least now I know I'm not the only person who hasn't watched Breaking Bad (yet). Ok, I did watch part of one episode to see what everyone was raving about, but I was totally lost and I don't think I even made it all the way through the episode. It is very high on my to watch list though.
EDIT: It sounds like you're think of Adrian Paul, who starred in Highlander: The Series and War of the Worlds, but he's not that old, he's only 59.

Thandie Newton just picked up the OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A DRAMA SERIES Emmy for her work on Westworld.

She was so shocked she won. The whole category was packed with such excellent talent (same for outstanding lead actress) so it's really saying something that she won.
 
I have just seen episode 7 of season 2.
What a great show but those security forces really can't shoot

Took me 2 years but I finally finished season one. I really enjoyed it. It was fun seeing how everything comes into place in the final episode, plus that tease to the other parks.
I look forward to seeing season 2 when it comes out in December.
 
Well, Looks like problems in WestWorld ....

The ravaging wild fires in California have burned down the Paramount Ranch which has served as Sweetwater's Main Street for the last 2 years. Reports also mention the white church was built on the site too .... now all gone .... :sigh:

To the Folks of this board living in the area .... be safe and my God bless...
 
A "western town" is a collection of wooden frame buildings, most without interiors - little more than a cross roads and a long dirt street, just about the simplest things they build in Hollywood. Given their budget, if the show needs Sweetwater again - and they well may - they can rebuild parts of it and do CG mattes on the rest.

Damn, that sucks. :(

I love your empathy. :rolleyes:
 
Apparently the ranch has been used for film making for almost a century, and the current town had been around for about forty years before it burned down. :(
 
Great article with some interesting information about the second season and beyond.

But my biggest takeaway: Defintlely no more Elsie. :(
