Remember the Pretender?

I lament that actors like Michael T. Weiss and James Spader no longer have a film vehicle that they are bringing to us.

Weiss was great in The Pretender and Spader was a joy to watch (with William Shatner) in Boston Legal.

Spader has a new show on NBC called Blacklist. Also, main reason I watched Boston Legal was for the banter between Shatner and Spader on the balcony.
 
Michael T Weiss should have played Max Payne instead of Marky Mark

what's he been up to anyway?
 
Last time I saw Weiss, was a guest spot on Burn Notice last season.

I used to watch this show religiously.
 
UPDATE AS OF JULY 19, 2013

The Pretender will be returning in three mediums:

1) A series of novels
2) Graphic novels
3) A cable/broadcast TV series and/or feature films (with old and new faces)


Pretender Mission Statement

In the tale of The Pretender, Young Jarod was taken against his will and held away from the world by forces larger then he was. Yet during his captivity he never gave up hope that his fate would be freedom one day - to return to the world to continue the amazing journey we call life.

The story here is very similar. A little over a decade ago, forces larger than tP and for reasons that really don’t matter, made a decision that kept the saga of tP locked away from the world – just like Jarod was.
We know loyal fans were disappointed and yes, so were we. There was so much more to tP that all of you wanted to know and that we wanted to explore.

But there is good news.

Just like Jarod who, after decades of confinement, finally escaped The Centre and ran away to be free. Well now, so has the tP itself. After being locked away for so many years, tP is finally free to return to the world and continue life’s adventure.
As fate would have it, we have regained the rights to give tP the Rebirth it deserves. We can now reinvigorate tP for as long as you want - and no one can ever lock it or Jarod away again.

After thinking long and hard about the best way to bring the tP back, we’ve come up with several different ways to reawaken our much-loved saga for both faithful fans and new fans alike.

First, tP will be reborn as a series of novels enabling us to delve much deeper into the characters’ hearts, minds, souls and lives in a more revealing way that the limitations of a weekly TV series could never allow for.

Second, we’ll add graphic novels to the mix, fleshing out even more provocative details of the early years of Jarod, Miss P, The Centre and much more, leading to…

Third, be it cable/broadcast TV, a Netflix model series and/or a series of Pretender feature films - tP will then be taken to a whole new level with familiar faces and new characters as well.

You have always been loyal to tP and we want you to know that we’ll always be loyal to you.
The Pretender has found freedom – and an amazing journey into life is about to begin again!
The Rebirth of The Pretender will blow your mind.

wow, I just realized that I beat Sawyer to the punch... :cool: :woot:
 
Last time I saw Weiss, was a guest spot on Burn Notice last season.

I just noticed the past connection between Weiss and Jeff Donovan... Donovan played Kyle, Jarod's brother on the Pretender...
 
I remember this. I used to love that show. I had watched many episodes over a few years and thought it was over all the seasons. Turns out it was just the first :p
