(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!
