New Alex O’Loughlin Interview

Alex O'Loughlin

Alex was interviewed by TV Guide Magazine this week! I loved the first part of the interview where he declares that his role as Andy Yablonski is every bit as important to him as Mick St. John was… hint, hint. The rabid Moonlight fans who declare they are boycotting Three Rivers (you know who you are) should be ashamed… just say’in…

Also Alex sounds less committed to doing a Moonlight movie… now. He said he thinks it may taint what they already did… hmmm. And Holy Crow! Alex tried out for two roles in True Blood.. Sam and Bill! Damn!! Okay, okay just read the interview… its GOOD!

Will Three Rivers be a hit with Moonlight fans?
Yeah, I hope so. This one is a very important show. I really hope that my fans come with me on this because Andy means as much to me as Nick St. John does. And if everybody comes with me and has a look and gives this a chance, they’ll see why.

What will appeal to them about this show?
Vampires are sexy. From my earliest memory of vampires, they’re sexy, seductive, sensual creatures. We don’t really have that in this show but we have a lot of blood!

And you wear tight scrubs too.
[Laughs] We have tight scrubs. We have wet skin when we scrub in. We make eyes at each other over the operation table. There’s going to be lots of love affairs and stuff like that would happen in a real hospital. It’s going to be really exciting.

You’ve said that you’re a big fan of the vampire genre. Have you been following Twilight and True Blood?
I haven’t been following Twilight. I watch True Blood when I can, but I’ve been very busy. So I’d like to get a box set and watch it that way. I actually went to network for that show.

You did? For what part?
Yeah, at the same time I got Moonlight. I tried out to play Bill, the main vampire, and also Sam the dog.

Do you think things would have gone differently for Moonlight if the show had aired now?
Maybe. But maybe it wouldn’t have got picked up at all because there’s too much vampires. What can you do? Moonlight will always be the best.

Think you’ll ever do a reunion movie?
People have talked about that. I don’t know how realistic it is though. It would take a lot to pull that off, to get everyone back together but it would be cool. My concern would be that we did it justice, because that would then be the last memory of Mick St. John. Even though it’s very, very sad where we left it, we still loved the show and I would hate to think that movie in its finality would kind of taint that image because those characters mean so much.

    I have also the same questions as Jojo and Amber. I sended a card for Alex’s birthday to the old fanadress, Andrew J. Freedman. When I found out that Alex was no longer recieving mail from this adress I was wondering if all the mail that was send to this old adress will send forward to the new ones?! Maybe you can find it out, Tiffany? Hope so… Thanks by the way for all the updates concerning Alex. Youre doing a great job on this website!

      Monica my guess is that it will be forwarded. His old personal manager knows where his new handlers are.. I have spoken to them perosonally. I can’t imagine that they would be unprofessional and not foward it.

    Tiffany – I have the same question as Amber – which address would be better to make sure that Alex got his mail, etc. I know you’ve said a few times that things addressed to him personally are put aside for him to open himself. Is there a sure fire address where we know he gets everything sent to him? Thanks again for all the hard work you do on this website – you are awesome. :)

      I am not sure JoJo. He used to have a personal manager but now ICM is handling everything. The second address may be specific to his role in TBUP plan since it says Paramount Studios so perhaps the first is a more generic address, either that or it is the agent handling his Three Rivers stuff. If I find out anything more concrete I will let you know.

    Thank you Tiffany! Does it matter which address you use? Would one get to him faster than the other or does it matter! Thank you again for this website that you have created and run!! I dont know how I would get all my Alex info without it! I am just so busy I dont have the time to research everything about him, I could not express to you how appreciative I am that you have put this together!!

    I got my copy of Oyster Farmer from Amazon.com. Finished watching it tonite (for the 10th time. I love this movie. And this Fri am Aug 7th he’ll be on The Shield again on Spike tv at 3:00 am. Am loving seeing him on all the promo’s on CBS for TR. Can’t wait to get my issue of TV guide Magazine…Fall Preview. I’ve been waiting patiently for a word or a picture in it…and also in People magazine, both of which I subscribe to. This printed issue in TV guide is soooo Alex. But what is missing is the sound of his wonderful voice.

    Am I the only one who took his comments to mean the Alex read a script for a Moonlight movie and didn’t feel it was acceptable?

      I guess it is possible but I thought he was just listing all the reasons why he doesn’t think it would work out. This isn’t the first time he has made comments along these lines… that he likes where Moonlight ended and wants to move on to other things.

    I get weaht he means. It’s got to have al the old people in, and to get them all together at the same time ,aybe very hard. Also in our hearts we all put something different in the ending. If they didn;t write it like we the fans would like, would we be disappointed, and would it mar teh memory of Mick St John.

    Yes, he’s moved on. He wants us all to support him. But I still think, if it was a good scriopt with no weird and wonderful thigs in it, once he;s done his first season of TR he would be there with bells on.

    I see what he means with all the vamp programmes would Moonlight still do the same heart stirring. I couldn’t imagine Alex as Bill, with that horrible accent, or even Sam turnign into a dog. No he was made for Mick.

    Terrific interview!! I hope it will it be published in the printed TV Guide as I just received the one for August 10-23 and don’t see it anywhere. They do have an item about Alfre Woodard joining the cast of Three Rivers and she says ” I heard so much about Alex O’Loughlin, what a lovely man he is, besides being a really good actor.” And it goes on to say that was one of the reasons she signed on. Nice to know he is getting the attention of other “really good actors.”

    The character in Moonlight was named “Mick”, not “Nick”……….

      Yes, we know that. It is a typo from their site.

    Once again, Tiffany is at the top of her game – great job, as always. It was a good interview. After reading it, I got the impression that Alex’s total focus is on “Three Rivers” and though he talked fondly about “Moonlight”, it sounded like he has definitely put it behind him. I think he feels that if a movie was done, the outcome of that movie may not be what we all would hope for so it’s best to let it go. He seems very excited about “Three Rivers” and he is asking his fans to come along for the ride. I think it’s going to be a great ride – looking forward to it. :)
