| (August 8, 2006) Just got back from Virginia, filming the made-for-TV movie, "First Landing". It's a story about the journey to the new world by Captain John Smith and the Jamestown settlers in April, 1607 (13 years before the pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock!). It's told through the eyes of the chaplain, Rev. Robert Hunt. I play Smith's nemesis Edward Maria Wingfield, an extraordinary man who was the first leader of the colony. It's set to air on ABC Family Channel on April 30th, 2007 - the 400th anniversary of the Landing at Cape Henry. Look for it on a special broadcast of the 700 Club! |
| Stephen Blackehart as Wingfield. |
| Ship's Captain Christopher Newport (Marc Appleby) surveys the deck of the 'Susan Constant', one of the 3 ships to make the journey. |
| Bartholomew Gosnold (Marc Gable), Captain Newport, and Wingfield are the first to 'hit the beach' in the new world. |
| John Smith (Josh Adamson) and seaman Matthew Fitch (Scott Watkins) wait on the camera boat. |
| Rev. Robert Hunt (Guy Birtwhistle) at the Virginia Co's offices in London. |
| The actual First Landing, shot only about 100 yards from the historic site. |
| Some of the crew of the Susan Constant (The flagship for the Jamestown expedition). |
| A little mischief on Nevis Island... |
