I know what I'll be doing! At 9:oo p.m. I'll be watching the first of 4 brand new episodes of Moonlight! Spoilers are popping up on fan sites and I have to tell ya, I'm really liking what I'm reading!
But today I got a special gift. Alex O'Loughlin, who plays Mick St. John (the Vampire Private Investigator pictured above) posted a very special message to his family, friends and devoted fans (of which I am one of many) on his Myspace page. He has been working so hard, such long hours, traveling the world to promote Moonlight as it opens up for broadcasting to different countries around the globe. But he took time out of his busy schedule to thank us, the fans, for our support in helping to spread the word about "this little show of ours". You can read his post below. Can't you just hear his beautiful Aussie Accent?

| | Hello everyone!! Dearest Friends, Family and devoted Fans.
Well I just thought i would put a blog out and touch base with everybody before this crazy show of mine goes back into production... which is happening any minute now!!
I have got to say that this show of ours is SUCH a little survivor, it's unbelievable! I mean, talk about delivering in the face of adversity...
* They completely recast the whole show around my character after the initial Pilot was shot (which never aired of course).
* We have gone through not 1..2....3............but 4 different Show Runners.
* We were fighting to survive, let alone get a pickup and the industry moved into a 3 month Writers Strike.
... and that is just the beginning of it.
With all that being said not only are we still on air with another pickup of 4-5 shows, but we won best new show in the People's Choice Awards!!
The award however, is only because of all you AWESOME fans out there. You guys take full credit for that one and know that from the bottom of our hearts, ALL of us here at MOONLIGHT (cast and crew) love you for it!!! ;)
I have been in touch with a number of you individually but i wanted to send out a group mail to let you all know what has been happening recently in the world of Alex.
I have been all over the planet in the last 2 months, Australia twice, London, Paris, Rome, Dublin and back through LA like three times where I now find myself, back at home gathering my thoughts and readying myself for the onslaught that is MOONLIGHT to come. Honestly... I cant wait!!
My travels have been as extensive as they have because i have been promoting the show for the world market. We have started airing in different regions of Europe with a lot still to come and already are being received very well. I saw how hard you all fought to keep this great story alive while i was here shooting it and realized that though i had some time away from the set and the cameras over this strike period and during the Christmas break, i had to keep working as hard as you guys have been so when the time does finally come for our second season pickup (and it's not too far away now!) we know we all did everything we could.
I am currently working on a refurbished MySpace page and official Alex O'Loughlin fan page which I look forward with great anticipation to delivering to you.
I am well. I am happy. I am focused and i am ready, once again, to pour everything i can back into this great little show of ours to make it the best i possibly can!!
Wish me luck my friends.
All my love and appreciation,
Alex xox

Isn't he just the best? If you're not already a fan, you have to check this show out! Remember, circle the date of April 25th on your calendars. And on the 25th at 9:00 (eastern time) lock yourself in the TV room, put the TV on CBS and then take the batteries out of the remote (in case the hubby tries to change the channel). Pour yourself some wine (preferably red), and get comfortable cause you're not going to want to move for the next hour. Snuggle up with Mick, he'll soon be your favorite vampire... I promise.
I'm sure that a lot of you think that a vampire show must be dark, since vampires are night creatures and have to stay away from sunlight. But as you can see, Mick is outside in the sun with Beth in the picture above. The vampire lore has changed and been re-vamped in some very interesting ways.
You owe it to yourself to find out what those changes are! I know you will thank me after you do! You can send your thank-yous to me at

RW
