This is an unofficial fan web site run by a BIG time Alex fan. Stick around and cruise the site for awhile...read up on the latest Alex news, watch some videos of his work (past and present), drool over some pictures, and for heaven's sake subscribe to our RSS Feed so that you will always get the latest, greatest news and updates about the deliciousness that is Alex O'Loughlin.
The CBS show Moonlight did me in. Not only was I a HUGE fan of the vampire genre, I had to know more about the yummy Alex O'Loughlin who played the vampire P.I. Mick St. John. Moonlight was just my intro to Alex. I quickly began catching up on his other TV appearances and films. My adoration grew...Alex O'Loughlin Online was born...from a fan for the fans.
Since we have been discussing Twilight of late here on the site. I thought I might throw this out there and see what people think. Would you like to see Alex in the movie sequel to Twilight called New Moon (2010) as one of the Italian vampires called the Volturi? For the scenes involving the Volturi the cast will need a dozen or so new vampires and I think our fave vampire, Alex O’Loughlin should be one of them. I was thinking maybe Aro, Alec, or Marcus. What do you think? Should we find addresses for the producers/directors of Twilight and let them know we want them to cast Alex or would he even be interested? If he DID get cast he could also be making an appearance in the 3rd and 4th movies if they make them.
So have you seen Twilight yet? I introduced the series here for Moonlight fans who were aching for their vampire fix. It is rumored that Moonlight was created with the Twilight books in mind…kind of an adult version of Twilight. There are some similarities and the most striking one is the name….aka Twilight and Moonlight.
Twilight is a love story between two teens…a vampire and human. Moonlight is a love story between a human and vampire and it throws them together in much the same way Bella and Edward are at school with Mick St. John being a detective and Beth being a reporter. They cross paths often when they work on the same cases.
Twilight’s Edward thinks of himself as a monster and he feeds on animals to be able to live with himself. Mick St. John also thinks of himself as a monster and he feeds on donated blood. Bella is inquisitive and discover Edward’s secret through investigation. Beth is an investigative reporter. Both Bella and Beth (see how similar the names are) learn of their friend’s vampirism and instead of being repulsed they are intrigued and it makes them closer.
I could probably list more similarities…but I am sure the screenwriters also tried to make them very different so they wouldn’t get into hot water…legally.
Read my review of the Twilight movie if you care to see it. I rather liked it.
I just came across a skit on Youtube acted out by Nathin Butler and Alex…although he is billed as Alex O’lachlan. It says it was acted out in the Hollywood Hills in October of 2008 so pretty recent. The content is pretty disturbing but Alex’s facial expressions are pricless. He is such a a good actor! According to the comments on the YouTube page this scene is from an Australian play so maybe these two Aussie friends were just having a bit of fun. It made me smile at a least.
