As always the UK is behind the US with getting TV shows, and we are only about halfway through Jericho. Season 2 has been confirmed in the US and starts in February 2008. The star of the show is Skeet Ulrich, well I suppose there is more than one star, but hes the one I am concentrating on. In his earliest screen appearance was an uncredited extra in films Weekend at Bernie's and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. After joining the Atlantic Theater Company as an apprentice, Ulrich performed with the group, which got him noticed yet again, this time by director Stacy Cochran. She cast him in a CBS School Break Special. With her help he also received his first notable role on screen in 1996 as the loutish boyfriend of Winona Ryder in Boys. That same year he appeared in The Craft with Neve Campbell. He starred with Neve Campbell again in Wes Craven's hit slasher film Scream released later that same year which became his best known role. In 1998 he starred in The Newto
I’ve been meaning to post this for a little while, but with all of the scare coming about with Jericho’s renewal in question, it got shuffled aside.
Skeet Ulrich made it into the Top 10 of TV Guide’s Sexiest Stars on Television, placing at number 7 for the men. He shares the list with stars from Lost, Heroes and Ugly Betty, all some of my favorite shows on this season.
Considering most of the coverage that Skeet has gotten since he showed up on the scene many years ago, most memorably for me, Scream, it’s not really surprising that with the media coverage that Jericho has been getting he’s made it on the list this year.
I just hope that this means that Jericho’s getting enough coverage to have us see a second season coming.
See the whole list here.

Unfortunately, my recap of One Man’s Terrorist is going to have to be delayed due to a missing (stuffed toy) puppy and an inconsolable 5-year-old who won’t let me watch my own shows until it’s found….
But, I do have some really great interviews with Skeet Ulrich that came across my feed reader recently that I thought would sate y’all until tomorrow.
Over at ExtraTV.com, Skeet talks about Jericho and celebrity culture, though that photo with the article is a little scary, and the best of in the world has named Skeet the Best TV Hero, and you can log in there and vote as to whether or not they’re right.

While I was stressing and talking about being interviewed for the first time, Winnie over at Watching The View got to see Skeet Ulrich on the show last week, which is about half-way down in the post.
Skeet was there to promote Jericho, of course, and there were a few great nuggets of what to expect in some coming episodes, in particular about Episode 18.
He said that episode 18, which will air in a few weeks, will be a “big deal,” and viewers will learn a little about why Jericho is still there and other mysteries. Skeet said that viewers will get a lot of clues this season, but it won’t answer all of their questions.
He’s been on The View before back in November, but I’ve not been able to sit down and watch the video yet.
I found a video on YouTube for the interview here.
Hat-tip to Watching The View.

Skeet Ulrich, who plays Jake Green on Jericho, was recently interviewed by Terry Morrow for AZNightBuzz.com, and he talks about how Jericho really isn’t that far off the mark in the great “What If” scenario of Apocalyptic Mayhem that Jericho delivers every Wednesday on CBS.
Ulrich says the ideas of what life will be like after such an attack are leftovers from the Cold War era of the 1950s when American schoolchildren were told to duck under their desks to avoid radiation.
“It’s kind of amazing when I hear from (viewers) about what should have happened,” he says.
They discuss the concept of a nuclear winter, and that the advisors that they have for the show work closely with the writers to make sure they’re as authentic as possible, though some of the science used on the show does have its detractors on the internet and elsewhere.
They also talk to Executive Producer John Turteltaub about the critics of some of the technical aspects, and he
