Drive Episode 3 Reviewed -- It Gets Better 2007-04-21 03:16:00 Okay, so watching Episode
3 of "Drive" on Fox made me feel a little better about being drawn in by the hype.
While the ratings for the Drive premiere on Sunday night were disappointing (a little over 6 million viewers), and some negative reviews and commentary are floating around, most of the bad seems based more on presupposition and assumption than actually engaging in the show. By contrast
Drive Cast Bio -- Mircea Monroe 2007-04-19 21:33:00 Birth Date: 1981/82 (?)
Location: ?
Best Known Roles: All Soul's Day, Cellular
Mircea Monroe
is a relative newcomer to the screen, but has been fairly busy in that short time . . . probably not in anything that you've seen, or remember her in, however. Most of the buzz about her comes mostly from a male audience, and focuses more on her breasts and butt (see particularly Drive, Episode 1) than
Drive Cast Bio -- Riley Smith 2007-04-17 02:53:00 Birth Date: April 12, 1978
Location: Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Best Known Roles: Radio, Eight-Legged Freaks, New York Minute, Joan of Arcadia, 24
RileySmith
has been a constant presence on the TV and movie scene for the past eight years. None of the appearances has propelled him to a high level of fame, but his consistent performances will likely keep them bringing him back for more . . . and perhaps
Drive Episodes 1 and 2 Reviewed 2007-04-16 20:11:00 As expected, the premiere of Fox's serial drama, Drive, was marked with both highlights and shortfalls . . . the question remains as to which will prevail?
Even going into the pilot episode, aside from the many who expressed an opinion on the potential longevity of the new show, based purely on its description, those who had actually secured an early viewing of the first two episodes were
Drive Cast Bio -- J.D. Pardo 2007-04-15 23:30:00 Birth Date: (?) 1980
Location: Panorama City, CA
Best Known Roles: American Dreams, Clubhouse, A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story
Aside from any sex appeal JD Pardo is calculated to bring to the Fox serial drama "Drive", he also plays a role in balancing out his brother, Winston's (Kevin Alejandro), bad boy attitude. Cast as brother's sharing a father and little else, the danger of their
Drive Cast Bio -- Kevin Alejandro 2007-04-14 19:24:00 Birth Date: April 7, 1976
Location: San Antonio, TX
Best Known Roles: Ugly Betty, Sleeper Cell, The Young and the Restless
KevinAlejandro
has few big roles (TV or movie) to add to his resume, but has a fairly long string of appearances on successful television shows, and an educational background in theater reaching back to high school, including a scholarship to study Theater Arts at the
Is Drive "Doomed" or "In Season"? 2007-04-14 17:45:00 The buzz about the success or failure of the new serial Drive on Fox seems to hinge on two contradictory lines of thought:
1) With the level of support given by Fox to this project (including a solid Sunday night slot for its premiere, and a high level of early promotion), this might finally be Tim Minear's "breakthrough" he has been waiting for;
2) Timing and placement in the spring lineup, Read more:Season
Drive Cast Bios -- Emma Stone 2007-04-12 03:17:00 Birth Date: November 6, 1988.
Location: Scottsdale, Arizona
Best Known Roles: None
At nineteen, Emma Stone
is fairly new to the screen (big or small), but does have a few minor roles to lend some experience. The opportunity presented by Fox casting her in their new, and potentially very successful, drama Drive, might be the jump start to bigger and better things.
On Drive, Emma Stone plays
Drive Cast Bio -- Dylan Baker 2007-04-11 14:44:00 Birth Date: October 7, 1959.
Location: Syracuse, New York
Best Known Roles: Murder One; Happiness; Thirteen Days; Spider-Man 2;
Surprising to see DylanBaker
take on a role in a television series like Drive at this stage in his career. He has fared well in the movie arena and is starting to achieve a level of recognition in his own right. Although TV appearances and roles are not unusual -- he
Drive Cast Bio -- Melanie Lynskey 2007-04-10 16:16:00 Birth Date: May 16, 1977.
Location: New Plymouth, New Zealand
Best Known Roles: Heavenly Creatures; Two and a Half Men
Melanie
Lynskey appears to bring a greater acting depth to the Fox show Drive, than some of the other less well rounded or less experienced cast members. Not to say that Drive doesn't have its share of other talent in the lineup (such as seasoned and well-rounded veterans as
Drive Cast Bio -- Kristin Lehman 2007-04-09 19:09:00 Birth Date: May 3, 1970.
Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada (grew up in Vancouver)
Best Known Roles: Poltergeist: The Legacy, Judging Amy, G-Spot
As with Drive co-star, Nathan Fillion, Kristin Lehman
is Canadian born, and has a strong background in the science fiction and horror genres (plus eight years of training at Canada's Royal Academy of Dance -- unlikely to help her here).
Kristin Lehman
Drive Cast Bio -- Nathan Fillion 2007-04-07 23:56:00 Birth Date: March 27, 1971.
Location: Edmonton, Alberta.
Best Known Roles: Capt. Malcolm Reynolds (lead role on Firefly -- FOX TV, 2002-2003); Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place; Serenity
Nathan
Fillion and Drive writer / producer Tim Minear have a long-standing friendship and have worked together on previous projects (most notably, short-lived Firefly). Together again, perhaps they can achieve

Drive on Fox Premiere - Air Date April 15th 2007 2007-04-05 22:20:00 After months of hype, FOX's new show, Drive, will air on April
15th, with a two-hour premiere at 8/7 c.
Much like the success of NBC's Heroes and Friday Night Lights, or FOX's Prison Break, at first glance this series seems to hold promise of interesting characters caught in changing and conflicted situations that keeps viewers coming back each week to see the growth and change in their personal Read more:Premiere
Drive Cast Bio -- Taryn Manning 2007-04-23 14:59:00 Birth Date: November 6, 1978
Location: Falls Church, Virginia
Best Known Roles: crazy/beautiful; Hustle & Flow; Crossroads
Taryn Manning
brings a list of movie roles to the table, more so than TV appearances, but nothing of any real note (Hustle & Flow being perhaps the one standout). Part of the limited recognition, may rest in part on the fact that her roles are largely relegated to that of "
Drive Cancelled -- Fox At It Once Again... 2007-04-30 02:44:00 Well, needless to say, I haven't posted my review on the fourth episode of "Drive". I started to, but rumors of a possible cancellation of the fledgling serial drama of Fox began to fly before I got very far.
It's unbelievable that they barely even gave it a chance! I actually came to Fox Network's defense in an earlier post on the new Tim Minear creation, saying that for once Fox was putting Read more:Cancelled
