I guess it's kinda, sorta a grey area. I mean.. It's kinda Identity theft in a way but without the financial fraud. On the other hand it's still wrong in that by doing so they may have a negative effect on how fans view the celebrity they are impersonating. I will point out one positive thing about these fakes. It gives the vulgar fans a place to make fools of themselves without having the real Craig see some of the disgusting comments that have(Or will if they haven't yet) posted. I honestly think that such comments are what chased Nathan off Myspace and onto Twitter. He seems to enjoy posting things but Twitter allows for him to pick and choose who's comments he can see rather than being subjected to anything and everything. Agreed. If Craig were to have an official website, a moderator (or team of moderators) could filter any innapropriate material so that he (and his fans) do not even have to see it. |

Hey let's get back to something that's more exciting, like actually writing to Oprah, cause now she has the space for something new. And I think Our Seeker would be good for her network and her network would be good for LotS. Let's do it.
Also, I've wrote to Dancing With the Starts and ask for them to look into Craig Horner as a candidate. I just couldn't help myself (I'm sure all of you will understand) I just want to see his damn face somewhere. But this would be amazing coverage for him and I could see him on the dance floor. O, my higher brain function just caved in, does it every time, sorry. Something to think about. The first letters been sent, so go for it, can't hurt. And we'd get to see Craig doing something that we've not seen before, heeee! Can't help myself.... O, I think every cell in my brain's gone now.

deacon> thank ya so much, I'll take "credit for most unique brain-storming ideas". Well, look at it like this, if Starz picks up Our Seeker and they only do 13 episodes, he'll have lot's of time to do Dancing. And we don't know how long it's gonna take Starz to come to their senses. I mean really, how long should this take, already? God created the damn world in a shorter time than this. heeee!
And I'm not holding my breath that Our Seeker will get picked up (hey, I told ya my brain cells are fried) and the man needs coverage, big time. IF he get's on Dancing and IF they pick up Our Seeker, I'm sure something can be worked out. They can film over and around any thing.
Face it, ya know ya all want to see Craig do the Argentine Tango. Ya do, ya know ya do.

Maybe I'm alone in this but I don't like that idea at all. Seems to me that's where all the has-been or soon to be has-been stars go. I'm missing my Craigy tons, but I'd rather wait and see him in something like, The Hobbit or some other awesome movie/ TV show. Even if it's a smaller part. Not on some reality show.  |

I kinda agree with Jlyn here..
Now I DO think it'd be AWESOME to maybe get Craig as a host on SNL! You know how they have a different host every week. Each week's host also ends up in a skit or two which would give us new material yes? and it's fetch him some good exposure right?
Just a thought.

Hosting on SNL would be great, but this is the "catch-22" of this situation. Hosting on SNL is good exposure for someone, but they kind of have to be famous to be considered to host the show. If Seeker had become more popular, I could see Craig and Bridget being on as co-hosts. Unfortunately, not enough people know who they are yet.  |

I know my opinion doesn't really count for a lot but... I dunno they've had some really off the wall hosts haven't they? I coulda sworn that even Paris Hilton's been a host and there's nothing between her ears.. and I mean c'mon.. She's famous for what? Being .. lets say "Loose or easy"?( to keep it polite.) If SNL wouldn't have Craig or any of the rest of the cast on as hosts then I'd have to rate them in the same class as Yerf. (Long story.. don't ask..) |

I like the SNL idea... good exposure. But Deacon has a point... You need to be a household name before you host that show. C & B aren't quite there yet (but we're working on it!)  I also tweeted Craig Ferguson awhile back and said he should have Craig Horner and Craig Parker on his show together. He's such a riot -- could you imagine all 3 Craig's...all with different accents? He'd have so much fun with that. Hahaha, I'm laughing just thinking about it! Keep the ideas coming!  Oh, I haven't checked the boards yet today, but I think we're planning to contact the new Comcast owners... Deacon may have already posted the info. If not I'll dig it up and post it. |

I like the SNL idea myself, face it, who is Paris Hilton? I understand most host are pretty well known, but if they got enough letters, that would get their attention for sure. Craig isn't that well-known here but, like Khei said they've had some off the wall host. If they got enough letters asking about him, then they'd check him out and who knows. I think it's worth a try myself. Blessed Be....

I think we would need an Australian fan to answer this one, but is "Saturday Night Live" broadcast in Australia, or is it strictly an "American" thing?
To be honest, I'm not sure that Craig is even looking for any work at the moment. Remember the interviews from last Spring and early summer, and he would often say that he was going to take some time and work on his music? Also, I remember a few interviews in which he mentioned how tired he was, and was looking forward to some "rejuvanation" time. He was also going to set up a "home base" in the L.A. area, for the times when he needs to be in the U.S. Not many people have the luxury to take a year off, but a successful actor is able to do so. I think that he is deliberately keeping himself available for Season 3, and if for some reason that were not to happen this year, then he would probably start to work on other projects again. Not to worry Sybil, you will see him as "Richard" again, and many other roles in the future. He still has a long career ahead of him.

Crai's not well-known enough to do SNL, unless he came on as one of the regular performers and not as a guest star. Though it would be a lot of fun to see him on there. He does a killer Leonardo DiCaprio impression. It's almost impossible to know what Craig's up to. What we do know for sure is that his information showed up on a US acting school Web site at the end of summer/beginning of fall. We also know for sure that two new head shots appeared around that time as well. That tells me two things: 1.) He was in LA for at least some time in the late summer and early fall in order to take an acting class in LA; and 2.) He is looking for acting work. Otherwise, why bother to take a class, post your info on the Web site and get new head shots taken if you're going to hunker down and not look for work. Also, why move to LA, if not to look for acting work? Yes, I remember Craig saying he wanted to spend some time on his music, but not to the exclusion of everything else! Let's face it, finding acting work is really hard. And the more successful you become the harder it is because you can't just take anythign any more. Craig's already been the lead of a show, so he's going to look for other big parts, and there are less of those than other parts and the competition is higher. Pilot season is starting up soon, if it hasn't already, so for all we know, he's busy running from one audition to the next. Sometimes it takes actors years to find their next gig. Hopefully it won't take Craig that long, but it could. |

I agree Crystal. And I really wouldn't be surprised to see him showing up on and episode or two of Spartacus. We know how Rami loves to use his actors across shows.
Hopefully it will be something soon...I really miss him!

Hopefully it won't take Craig that long, but it could. Agreed, we really do not know what is happening with him right now. That is why it is so important for all of us to keep on fighting to have Seeker renewed. The sooner that this happens, it is more likely for them to regain the original cast. Personally I'm hoping that Craig can find a movie role before then. The average movie takes about 8 to 12 weeks to film (and some will go on longer than that...look at "The Hobbit"). If the new producers of "Wonder Woman" take heed of fan polls, Bridget will definitely be in the running for that role. However, there is no point in worrying about it. For now, we will keep on doing what we have been doing - keep on writing those letters and postcards, and watching Seeker on Hulu. |

I agree with you guys. I think Craig's taking the opportunity to do some things he loves. I think he wants to keep himself open for more Seeker while at the same time getting some rest. He even said that he would have gone to the execs and charmed them into a S3 if he had known how dire the situation was so I believe he loves Seeker like we do.
I miss him lots too and that's why we owe it to him and Bridget and the others to keep sending in those letters and postcards, watching it on Hulu, etc.
Keep up the effort!! ;D
