My episode of Threshold aired Friday night October 21st on CBS at 9pm Pacific. The episode is called “The Order.” I play the owner of a diner in Washington DC .
For those of you who caught “Threshold” I should give you the following explanation as to why it was so short. That last thing you saw was Molly asking me if I had any other regular customers. I said, “At night No…” I had a speech that followed that about how all I have is students that come in during the day and sit for hours with their laptops only ordering one cup of coffee. I liked it because it gave the guy a real small business owner character and I really worked on that struggle. Unfortunately they cut it. It was very much like Scrubs for those of you who remember my explanation for that. I said no to J.D.’s question about being the guy who played the soup nazi and proceeded give him a speech about being a classically trained actor and all that stuff but they cut that after the word no. I guess I’ll have to learn not to pause after I say no. I had fun shooting “Hot Properties” this week and I’m hoping they’ll leave that scene intact. I played a surly DMV worker with Gail O’Grady. I’ll let you know the air date when I get it. As usual thanks for helping and supporting me. Larry.
THRESHOLD is a suspenseful drama about a team of experts who are assembled when the U.S. Navy makes a chilling discovery: an extra terrestrial craft has landed in the mid-Atlantic ocean. Dr. Molly Anne Caffrey (Carla Gugino) is a government contingency analyst whose job is to devise response plans for worst-case scenarios. In a single instant, her life changes when one of those plans--THRESHOLD--is activated by Deputy National Security Advisor J.T. Baylock (Charles S. Dutton). Armed only with her hypothetical strategy to address the appearance of aliens on earth, Caffrey now finds herself thrust in the midst of a global crisis. She hand-picks a team of eclectic specialists to prepare for first contact: Dr. Nigel Fenway (Brent Spiner), a disillusioned NASA microbiologist; Lucas Pegg (Rob Benedict), a brilliant but neurotic physicist; Arthur Ramsey (Peter Dinklage), an expert in languages and mathematics; and Cavennaugh (Brian Van Holt), a highly trained covert operative with a mysterious past. Together, they decipher the intention of the craft, the fate of the ship's crew and begin preparations for the possibility of a crisis situation--an alien invasion.
