I have to thankLong Legs O’Loughlin for posting this video of Alex O’Loughlin talking about his role on Three Rivers. He plays Dr. Andy Yablonski on the new show. Alex talks about the research that went into his role and how the character is based on Dr.Gonzo Gonzalez-Stawinski. It looks like Alex did a great job because looking at the clips of the show he says everything effortlessly.
And really, I can handle listening to his Aussie accent for three minutes.
The first stills of Alex O’Loughlin from The Back-Up Plan have been released by CBS Films. I am so surprised to learn that CBS produced this movie. But it must have been under Alex’s one year holding contract with them. (Sorry, I am still a bit bitter with the Moonlight thing.)
Alex also was talking about earlier this week a the TCAÂ Press Tour how while researching his role for Three Rivers that he found that he was so boring that he said he should have become a doctor himself.
“You know, I don’t have any training in medicine, and there’s so much to learn, even just to get off the ground and be convincing when you say the words. And, you know, the whole time we’re in Pittsburgh, and before that as well, I was into medical journals and I was on the phone, and I was researching all night. I’ve chosen the wrong profession. I’m so boring. I should have been a doctor. I found out that my father wanted to be a cardiothoracic surgeon. That was a dream of his later; it was something that he was obsessed with as well.â€
I think that I speak from all the fans when I say that we don’t find Alex boring at all. Even though we would love seeing him in scrubs all the time.
Three Rivers premieres on October 4th. I am starting a countdown now. I’m getting excited to see Alex O’Loughlin back on the screen. And lately I have a thing for TV doctors. I found a couple of commercials for the show.
Alex O’Loughlin stars as Dr. Andy Yablonski, a highly-skilled workaholic lead organ transplant surgeon whose affable personality and sarcastic wit makes him popular with his patients and colleagues, and Katherine Moennig portrays Miranda Foster, a surgical fellow with a rebellious streak and fiery temper who strives to live up to her deceased father’s excellent surgical reputation.
