From The Watcher by Maureen Ryan

Spoiler Warning

( Callum Keith Rennie ... gives an excellent performance as excessively rich and somewhat crazy music producer Lew Ashby. )

Callum once again gets an awesome review. He usually does, even in bad films/shows (not saying Californication is bad, though, because I've never seen it). Silk, for example. He's the only good thing about it (besides the cinematography).

A perfect two-sentence review! *g* I completely agree.

The thing about Silk is that it LOOKS like a good picture. And then it isn't. Five or six rewrites and replacing the lead actor with Ewan McGregor might salvage it (and OMG Ewan and Callum in the same film? I would MELT, right there in the screening room).

I happy he's getting good reviews on a high profile show.

I've read three reviews and all three have mentioned him as a "bright spot" or words to that effect. Yay!

Finally got to see filthy Lew Ashby in 52" HD tonight, and it was nice. :-)

I'm jealous! You got to see life-sized Lew!
