Joseph Flaherty (June 21, 1941 – April 1, 2024) Actor, writer, and comedian. He is best known for his work on the Canadian sketch comedy SCTV from 1976 to 1984 (on which he also served as a writer), and as Harold Weir on Freaks and Geeks.

 He was one of the original writer/performers on SCTV, where he spent eight years on the show, playing such characters as Big Jim McBob (of Farm Film Report fame), Count Floyd/Floyd Robertson, and station owner/manager Guy Caballero, who goes around in a wheelchair only for respect and undeserved sympathy.

In 1989, Flaherty played a guest role in Married... with Children in the season-four episode "Tooth or Consequences", as a recently divorced dentist who must repair Al Bundy's teeth.

During 1997–1998, Flaherty starred in the television adaptation of Police Academy (Police Academy: The Series) as Cmdt. Stuart Hefilfinger. The series lasted for only one season.

In 1999, Flaherty joined the cast of Freaks and Geeks, an NBC hour-long dramedy set in the 1980–1981 academic year, in which he played Harold Weir, the irascible father of two teens. Despite a dedicated cult following, the show only lasted one season. In the third episode, "Tricks and Treats", he dons a cheap vampire costume reminiscent of his "Count Floyd" character of the depicted era.

Flaherty made appearances on the CBS sitcom The King of Queens as Father McAndrew, the priest at the Heffernans' church. He starred on the Bite TV original program, Uncle Joe's Cartoon Playhouse, and served as a judge on the CBC program The Second City's Next Comedy Legend. (Wikipedia)

In MEMORY of RUTGER HAUER on his BIRTHDAY - (January 23, 1944 - July 19, 2019)

Career years: 1969 - his death

Born Rutger Oelsen Hauer, Dutch actor. In 1999, he was named by the Dutch public as the Best Dutch Actor of the Century.

Hauer's career began in 1969 with the title role in the Dutch television series Floris and surged with his leading role in Turkish Delight (1973), which in 1999 was named the Best Dutch Film of the Century. After gaining international recognition with Soldier of Orange (1977) and Spetters (1980), he moved into American films such as Nighthawks (1981) and Blade Runner (1982), starring in the latter as self-aware replicant Roy Batty. His performance in Blade Runner led to roles in The Osterman Weekend (1983), Ladyhawke (1985), The Hitcher (1986), The Legend of the Holy Drinker (1988), and Blind Fury (1989), among other films.

From the 1990s on, Hauer moved into low-budget films, and supporting roles in major films like Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992), Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002), Batman Begins (2005), Sin City (2005), and The Rite (2011). Hauer also became well known for his work in commercials. Towards the end of his career, he made a return to Dutch cinema, and won the 2012 Rembrandt Award for Best Actor in recognition of his lead role in The Heineken Kidnapping (2011).

Hauer supported environmentalist causes and was a member of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. He also founded the Rutger Hauer Starfish Association, an AIDS awareness organization. He was made a knight in the Order of the Netherlands Lion in 2013.

Early life -

Hauer was born in Breukelen, in the Province of Utrecht, while the Netherlands was under German occupation during World War II. He stated in a 1981 interview, "I was born in the middle of the war, and I think for that reason I have deep roots in pacifism. Violence frightens me." His parents were Teunke (née Mellema) and Arend Hauer, both actors who operated an acting school in nearby Amsterdam. He had three sisters. According to Hauer, his parents were more interested in their art than their children. He did not have a close relationship with his father, and writer Erik Hazelhoff Roelfzema later became a father figure to Hauer after they met during the filming of Soldier of Orange.

Hauer attended a Rudolf Steiner school, as his parents wanted him to develop his creativity. At the age of 15, he left school to join the Dutch merchant navy. He spent a year travelling the world aboard a freighter, but was unable to become a captain due to his colourblindness. Returning home, he worked odd jobs while finishing his high school diploma at night. He then entered the Academy for Theater and Dance in Amsterdam for acting classes, but soon dropped out to join the Royal Netherlands Army. He received training as a combat medic, but left the service after a few months as he opposed the use of deadly weapons. He subsequently returned to acting school and graduated in 1967.

Career:

Early works -

Hauer had his first acting role at the age of 11, as Eurysakes in the play Ajax. After graduating from the Academy for Theater and Dance, he became a stage actor with the Toneelgroep Noorder Compagnie. Hauer made his screen debut in 1969 when Paul Verhoeven cast him in the lead role of the television series Floris, a Dutch medieval action drama. The role made him famous in his native country, and Hauer reprised his role for the 1975 German remake Floris von Rosemund.

Hauer's career changed course when Verhoeven cast him in Turkish Delight (1973), which received an Oscar nomination for best foreign-language film. The film found box office favour abroad and at home, and Hauer looked to appear in more international films. Within two years, Hauer made his English-language debut in the British film The Wilby Conspiracy (1975). Set in South Africa, the film was an action-drama with a focus on apartheid. Hauer's supporting role, however, was barely noticed in Hollywood, and he returned to Dutch films for several years. During this period, he made Katie Tippel (1975) and worked again with Verhoeven on Soldier of Orange (1977), and Spetters (1980). These two films paired Hauer with fellow Dutch actor Jeroen Krabbé. At the 1981 Netherlands Film Festival, Hauer received the Golden Calf for Best Actor for his overall body of work.

American breakthrough -

Hauer made his American debut in the Sylvester Stallone film Nighthawks (1981) as a psychopathic and cold-blooded terrorist named Wulfgar. With his sights set on a long-term career in Hollywood, Hauer worked with an accent coach in the early 1980s to develop a convincing American accent. Unafraid of controversial roles, he portrayed Albert Speer in the 1982 American Broadcasting Company production Inside the Third Reich. The same year, Hauer appeared in arguably his most famous and acclaimed role as the eccentric and violent but sympathetic antihero Roy Batty in Ridley Scott's 1982 science fiction thriller Blade Runner, in which he delivered the famous tears in rain monologue. Hauer composed parts of the monologue the evening prior to filming, "cutting away swathes of the original script before adding the speech’s poignant final line". He went on to play the adventurer courting Theresa Russell in Eureka (1983), investigative reporter opposite John Hurt in The Osterman Weekend (1983), hardened mercenary Martin in Flesh & Blood (1985), and knight paired with Michelle Pfeiffer in Ladyhawke (1985).

He appeared in The Hitcher (1986), in which he played a mysterious hitchhiker tormenting a lone motorist and murdering anyone in his way. He received the 1987 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the television film Escape from Sobibor. At the height of Hauer's fame, he was set to be cast as RoboCop (1987), but Verhoeven, the film's director, considered his frame as too large to move comfortably in the character's suit. Also in 1987, Hauer starred as Nick Randall in Wanted: Dead or Alive as the descendant of the character played by Steve McQueen in the television series of the same name.

In 1988, he played a homeless man in Ermanno Olmi's The Legend of the Holy Drinker. This performance won Hauer the Best Actor award at the 1989 Seattle International Film Festival. Hauer was chosen to portray a blind martial artist superhero in Phillip Noyce's action film Blind Fury (1989). He initially struggled with the implausibility of the character, but learned to "unfocus my eyes, to react to smells and sounds" after meeting with blind judo practitioner Lynn Manning during his research for the role. Hauer returned to science fiction in 1989 with The Blood of Heroes, in which he played a gladiator in a post-apocalyptic world.

Commercials and later roles -

By the 1990s, Hauer was well known for his humorous Guinness commercials as well as his screen roles, which had increasingly involved low-budget films, such as Split Second (1992); The Beans of Egypt, Maine (1994); Omega Doom (1996) and New World Disorder (1999). In 1992, he appeared in the horror-comedy film Buffy the Vampire Slayer as the main antagonist vampire Lothos. He also appeared in the Kylie Minogue music video "On a Night Like This" (2000). During this time, Hauer acted in several British, Canadian and American television productions, including Amelia Earhart: The Final Flight (1994) as Earhart's navigator Fred Noonan, Fatherland (1994), Hostile Waters (1997), The Call of the Wild: Dog of the Yukon (1997), Merlin (1998), The 10th Kingdom (2000), Smallville (2003), Alias (2003), and Salem's Lot (2004).

Hauer played an assassin in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2003), a villainous cardinal with influential power in Sin City (2005) and a devious corporate executive running Wayne Enterprises in Batman Begins (2005). Also in 2005, he played the title role in Patrick Lussier's film Dracula III: Legacy. Seven years later, he portrayed the vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing in Dario Argento's Dracula 3D. Hauer hosted the British reality television documentary Shock Treatment in 2005, and featured in Goal II: Living the Dream (2007) as Real Madrid coach Rudi Van der Merwe. He also recorded voice-overs for the British advertising campaign for the Danish butter brand Lurpak.

In 2008, Hauer received the Golden Calf Culture Prize for his contributions to Dutch cinema. The award recognised his work as an actor as well as his efforts to aid the development of young filmmakers and actors, through initiatives such as the Rutger Hauer Film Factory. In 2009, his role in avant-garde filmmaker Cyrus Frisch's Dazzle received positive reviews; it was described in Dutch press as "the most relevant Dutch film of the year". The same year, Hauer starred in the title role of Barbarossa, an Italian film directed by Renzo Martinelli. In April 2010, he was cast in the live action adaptation of the short and fictitious Grindhouse trailer Hobo with a Shotgun (2011). Hauer played Freddie Heineken in The Heineken Kidnapping (2011), for which he received the 2012 Rembrandt Award for Best Actor. Also in 2011, Hauer appeared in the supernatural horror film The Rite as an undertaker named Istvan, the protagonist's father.

From 2013 to 2014, Hauer featured as Niall Brigant in HBO's True Blood. In 2015, he starred as Ravn in The Last Kingdom and as Kingsley in Galavant. In 2016, he joined the film jury for ShortCutz Amsterdam, an annual film festival promoting short films in Amsterdam. Hauer voiced the role of Daniel Lazarski in the 2017 video game Observer, set in post-apocalyptic Poland. Lazarski is a member of a special elite police unit that can hack into minds and interact with memories within. Hauer also provided the voice of Xehanort in the 2019 video game Kingdom Hearts III, replacing the late Leonard Nimoy and was himself replaced by Christopher Lloyd following his death.

Personal life -

Hauer was married twice:

Hauer and his first wife, Heidi Merz, produced Hauer’s only child, Aysha Hauer (born 1966). An actress, she gave birth to Hauer's grandson in 1987.

Hauer was with his second wife, Ineke ten Cate, from 1968, and they married in a private ceremony on 22 November 1985. Cate was the daughter of Laurens ten Cate, the editor-in-chief of the Friesland-based newspaper Leeuwarder Courant.

Although born in Utrecht, Hauer had strong links to Friesland. He once stated in an interview with the Algemeen Dagblad that he "needed to feel the Frisian clay under his feet".

Hauer was an environmentalist. He supported the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and was a member of its board of advisors. He also established an AIDS awareness organization called the Rutger Hauer Starfish Association.

In April 2007, he published his autobiography, All Those Moments: Stories of Heroes, Villains, Replicants, and Blade Runners (co-written with Patrick Quinlan), in which he discussed many of his acting roles. Proceeds from the book go to the Rutger Hauer Starfish Association.

Death -

Hauer died at his home in Beetsterzwaag, following a short illness. He was 75 years old. A private funeral service was held on 24 July. On 23 January 2020, which would have been Hauer's 76th birthday, a ceremony was held in Beetsterzwaag in his honour. Attendees included Sharon Stone, Miranda Richardson, Diederik van Rooijen, and Prince Pieter-Christiaan of Orange-Nassau, van Vollenhoven.

Saddened by the loss of Actor Donald Sutherland (1935-2024)

Donald Sutherland, the prolific film and television actor whose long career stretched from “M.A.S.H.” to “The Hunger Games,” has died.

He was 88.

The Canadian actor with a grin that could be sweet or diabolical was known for offbeat characters in “Kelly’s Heroes” and “Animal House.”

Before transitioning into a long career as a respected character actor, Sutherland epitomized the unpredictable, antiestablishment cinema of the 1970s

He also had parts in “Ordinary People” and “JFK.” More, recently, he starred in the “Hunger Games” films. He never retired, working regularly up until his death. A memoir, “Made Up, But Still True,” was due out in November.

Born in St. John, New Brunswick on July 17, 1935 Donald McNichol Sutherland was Raised in Nova Scotia, he was a disc jockey with his own radio station at the age of 14.

He began as an engineering student at the University of Toronto but switched to English and started acting in school theatrical productions.

After graduating in 1956, Sutherland attended the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts to study acting.

His first American film was “The Dirty Dozen” (1967), 1970 saw the release of both the World War II yarn “Kelly’s Heroes” and “M.A.S.H.,” an acclaimed smash hit that catapulted Sutherland to stardom.

Sutherland career as a leading man peaked in the 1970s.

One of his finest performances came as a detective in “Klute” (1971)

Other films of note include “The Castle of the living Dead “ “Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors “ “Start the revolution without me” “Don’t look now” “Invasion of the body snatchers “ and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”.

In the last decade, Sutherland increasingly worked in television, most memorably in HBO’s “Path to War,” his last role was in the mini series “Lawman:Bass Reeves ” (2023)

My Condolences to his Family and Friends

#R.I.P. 😔🙏🥀

Hi!

This is my blog all about different books, movies and television shows both as reviews and analysis.

But i thought it would be good to start out with links to other accounts i have so here they are:

spotify: xeris

twitter: umbreonology

pinterest: espeonology

insta: espeonology

Other than that my plan for uploads will be that i will pick one topic per month / couple of months and post a series of pre planned reviews and analysis of that topic.

My first topic will be Vampire Academy (both the books and movies and potentially the series but no promises) and i have the first 5 instalments already planned (ish) but i do still have to read / listen to the bloodlines books so those are the later instalments (6-7) and will end on an 8th for a conclusion.

You can watch the movie on Netflix, and the books are available on Kindle or in Waterstones and, Barnes and Noble or on spotify premium for audiobook lovers. The show is available on NOW with a premium subscription or for money on Apple, Amazon and Youtube.

I have both a playlist about this series on my spotify and a pinterest board on my pinterest.

Anyways that's all I have to say so I will hopefully see you in the next post: An Introduction to The Vampire Academy Universe and Its Characters.

Dominic Sherwood Movies and TV Shows, Wiki, Biography, Girlfriend, Height, Age and Net Worth

The multi-talented English actor and model Dominic Anthony Sherwood has made an enduring impression on the entertainment world. He has won the hearts of many thanks to his mesmerizing performances in films and TV shows as well as his musical skills. We will look into Dominic Sherwood’s biography, career, and fascinating details in this in-depth blog post.

Dominic Sherwood Wiki / Biography

Dominic Sherwood was born on February 6, 1990 (as of now 33 years old) in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England. His parents are Mary Summons and Alfred Sherwood. Dominic is one of five siblings—three brothers and a sister—who make up his family. While many parts of his life are publicly known, his religious convictions are kept a secret.

He has sectoral heterochromia, a condition that causes the retina, which is the colorful portion of the eye, to change colors. Because of the disorder, he has two different-colored eyes: one blue and one that is half-blue and half-brown.

Dominic went to Maidstone’s Oakwood Park Grammar School for his secondary studies. His love of theater and drama began to take shape at this time. He left to work abroad after completing his theater and drama studies in Maidstone and Sevenoaks. He started working for the organization in Kenya and remained there for six months before moving to London. He had only just begun his path into the entertainment industry.

When he was 18 years old, he and his friends formed the band “Tamarin Sky” in 2008.

Career

Dominic Sherwood’s journey in the entertainment industry started with small roles, but it didn’t take long for him to make a significant impact. Here are some key highlights from his career:

In 2010, he made his acting debut as Jack Simmons in the third season of “The Cut.”

The year after, he appeared as a waiter named Tom in the “Sadie J” episode “Cherylistic.”

He played a youthful Mick Jagger in the drama movie “Not Fade Away” in 2012, and it was a small but memorable part.

His big break came in 2014 when he played Christian Ozera in the parody horror movie “Vampire Academy,” which was based on the Richelle Mead book of the same name.

He became well-known in 2015 after making an appearance in Taylor Swift‘s music video for the smash hit “Style.”

The Freeform fantasy drama series “Shadowhunters,” which is based on Cassandra Clare’s “The Mortal Instruments” book series, cast Dominic in the role of Jace Herondale in April 2015.

He added to his career by co-starring in “Billionaire Ransom” with Ed Westwick and Jeremy Sumpter and by playing a supporting role in “Don’t Sleep” with Drea de Matteo and Cary Elwes.

He appeared in the 2020 television drama “Penny Dreadful: City of Angels,” a dark fantasy series that was canceled after one season.

It was revealed in September 2021 that Dominic Sherwood would play the title character in “Eraser: Reborn,” an adaptation of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “Eraser” from 1996.

Sherwood has displayed his acting talent in the Netflix original series “Partner Track,” which was adapted from the same-titled book by Helen Wan.

Along with co-star Katherine McNamara, Dominic expanded his career by beginning to host the “Return to the Shadows” podcast, which is a treat for “Shadowhunters” fans.

I’ll go with a couple vampire academy/bloodlines opinions since it’s you asking :) 

(think we’re in agreement on this) I dislike Rose&Dimitri romantically in the books. In the show they’re fine but still don’t do much for me personally. 

feel like I disagree with a lot of takes I’ve seen on Rose&Adrian’s relationship not the obvious: it was an unhealthy relationship, but different specific arguments about it I’ve seen from other fans. As much as I love Adrian as a character some of the takes I’ve seen on how Rose treats him that villainize her I side eye hard, there are a couple valid points there about how she views his alcoholism and how it effects the way she treats him but there was a lot more about their dynamic that doesn’t paint Adrian in the best light. At the same time though it was definitely the most compelling to me of Rose’s het dynamics (I only fervently ship her with Lissa lol) just for virtue of Adrian is interesting and Dmitri and Mason are not lol, there is something there to me about two passionate/similar people who ultimately aren’t good for each other. Basically I have mixed feelings there vs I think there’s a lot of polarization about it in the fandom. 

I prefer the first three Bloodlines books to any other vaverse books by a lot but I do think VA was a more consistently good series (although both series peak with book 3), and I prefer Sydney to Rose as a protagonist (although I adore them both they’re my #1 and #2 favorite in this verse respectively) but I prefer the ensemble of va to that of bloodlines as much as I like the bl gang. But then I dug the plots and general atmosphere in bl not to mention elements of the world building (the focus on witches) more so they’re pretty balanced for me although I have sgreater emotional attachment to Bl because Sydney <3 and Sydrian <3.

I liked the show better than the movie as an adaptation but neither was great for me. Also fun fact I actually managed to write a paper partially about the show for one of my classes last year (the class was on serialized fiction so linking Victorian novels that were originally published serially to how modern television works and so the paper topic was to make a point about serialization so serialized novels being adapted into tv aligned with that lol). 

Sydney and Miss Terwiliger’s dynamic is one of thee best things about Bloodlines to me and I wish it got discussed more.

(send me a 🔥 + a topic or fandom and I’ll give an opinion or multiple)

Game of Thrones wouldn't have been the same without people speaking High Valyrian and Dothraki. A few words like dracarys and valar morghulis have even made it into English to a small degree.

If a language offers clues to the culture of its speakers, then the experience of learning Game of Thrones’s High Valyrian on Duolingo conjures visions of a bustling historic civilisation in which owls stalk the skies, magic abounds, and the spectre of death forever haunts the imaginations of the living. You learn to say “The woman is sweating” before that most basic greeting, “Hello”. An incongruously cheerful cartoon asks you to translate “All men must die, goodbye.” And, of course: “Ñuhyz zaldrīzesse gevī issi.” (“My dragons are beautiful!”). Described in George RR Martin’s books as the language of the dragon-taming rulers of a once-great empire, Old Valyria has been compared to the Roman Republic, and High Valyrian to classical Latin. The language only assumed full life when linguist David J Peterson took it on for season three of the television series in 2012. Working from the few High Valyrian phrases mentioned in the book – names, places, and the infamous strapline, “Valar Morghūlis” (“All men must die”) – Peterson created an entire language. The Duolingo course was launched in 2017.

Season 2 of House of the Dragon won't be seen until well into 2024. So there's plenty of time to become fluent in High Valyrian through Duolingo before then.

There's a lot more to a constructed language than just substituting a new word for an existing word in English, French, Spanish, Ukrainian, Thai, Xhosa, or whatever. Without a dedicated grammar and syntax, it would just sound like a more fancy form of pig Latin.

It is strikingly detailed labour for something that will be missed by most viewers. “Ninety-eight percent of viewers are never going to know 99 per cent of what we do,” says linguist Jessie Sams, the partner of Game of Thrones’s Peterson(in both life and work, they confirm cheerily, after I awkwardly ask for clarification); the two have since developed the languages in Dune, The Witcher, and Vampire Academy. “It doesn’t matter if people don’t really notice it at the time,” Peterson says, “it’s always going to be there. And so at some point in time, if somebody decides to analyse it, it’s going to hold up or it’s not.” (He recalls watching a Star Trek episode in which the actor for a highly intelligent character mispronounces a word.) Their involvement with projects varies greatly, from working with dialect coaches, to meeting with actors, or being around on set. Ideally, they would get six months to a year to create a language; more often, they’re given two or three. How do they account for the spiralling demand for their services? “Game of Thrones was so big that everyone wanted to hire everybody who worked on Gone of Thrones” Petersen says. “That’s why I got my second, fourth, and 15th job.”

One interesting thing about High Valyrian is that it has four genders. But we're talking grammatical gender.

High Valyrian from 'Game of Thrones' has four genders. Here's why.

You can create your own language, but it helps if you know more than one real world language – to get some perspective.
