» Ann reported that the September 28th issue of Entertainment Weekly offers an advertisement for the premiere of Life and also includes an intriguing reference to “orginal bonus content brought to you by Mastercard“!? (Promotions for Life also appear in the current issues of People and In Touch.)

» This review in The Star describes Life as a “…remarkable new drama…anchored and brilliantly balanced by the nuanced lead performance of British Band of Brothers break-out Damian Lewis…” The article also includes quotes from Damian and writer/producer Rand Ravich.

Still more “alternative media” options for viewing Life starring Damian Lewis! Episodes of Life will be available on Verizon’s wireless mobile television VCast service.

The wedding of actors Ioan Gruffudd and Alice Evans took place in Los Cabos, Mexico on September 14th. Ioan is Damian’s long-time friend and co-star and Los Cabos is an easy trip from LA; so do you see Damian anywhere in this photo? Is he the tall man on the left in the dark suit or perhaps the tall man on the right in the light suit? Or do feel that he’s not in this picture at all? Oh well, it’s fun to speculate and our congratulations to the happy Bride and Groom! (And also a big thank you to D for giving us this chance to “hunt for that ginger fellow”!)
