While "Dollhouse" began life as a House box setvehicle for star and producer Eliza Dushku, one of the supporting players House dvdwho immediatelyHouse dvds drew the notice of fans was Enver Gjokaj.
As Gjokaj kept showcasing his versatility -- oneHouse MD dvd week he was Russian, the next week British, the next week he became co-star Reed Diamond -- his Victor seemedHouse seasonsto get more and more screentime. Eventually, Victor's relationship with Dichen Lachman's Sierra became a key part of the show's emotional core.
When the Joss Whedon drama ended its truncated House MD dvdstwo-season run this winter, fans immediately started waiting for Gjokaj to land a pilot role. So far, that wait continues House seasons 1 5, but Gjokaj's next House MD season dvdproject will make its online debut next week.
Titled "Previously on Point Dume," it's a tongue-in-cheek One Tree Hill dvdwebseries built around recap clips from a non-existent supernatural soap opera. Gjokaj is one of the producers (dvd one tree hilland creators and directors and writers) on the project and also co-stars as dreamy gardener Ron. The clips are tremendously amusing and it's no surprise that "Previously on Point Dume" will have its one tree hill box setdebut on FunnyorDie.com One Tree Hill dvdon Monday.
HitFix caught up with Gjokaj this week, fresh off ofone tree hill dvd season shooting a guest turn on FOX's "Lie to Me," to discuss "Previously on Point Dume," as well as other future prospects...
Full interview after the break...
HitFix: What was the genesis of "PreviouslyOne Tree Hill dvd box set on Point Dume"?
Enver Gjokaj: Basically, I've been working with these guys from New York, pretty much we do something every year just to stay busy. They're other actors and writers and friends of mine. We've been doing it pretty consistently, but it's mostly been theater and we put something together. We had a male a cappella boy band One Tree Hill dvd seasonone year that we didone tree hill seasons 1 6 something, then "Glee" came out and we immediately stopped doing that. We've been creating our own work for a while, but this was the first year we decided, "Well let's just do something and film it. Boston Legal DVD" And this has been the result.
HitFix: How much have you Boston Legal dvd box setshot so far and how much are you hoping to shoot?
EG: Well, this is the promo episode. Boston Legal DVD SeasonsThis is an episode recap promo, but they all wil Boston Legal seasons be. The show is pretty much episode recaps in structure, as a Boston Legal dvd collectionconceit, of a show that doesn't really exist. We're doing episode recaps of a show that doesn't exist,buy Boston Legal DVD of a supernatural soap opera. We're thinking of it as "Lost" meets "Clue," although a lot of people I've talked to don't know what "Clue" is, which is a shame. If this all goes well, we'll be able to get to shooting the next four pretty quickly. We just want to see what people thought of it and what kind of structure we want to go ahead with. But this is about it. What you see is about Cheap Boston Legal DVDwhat it's gonna be.
One of the things that we're playing off Charmed DVD of is the humor of something like "Lost," where nothing ever gets solved and it's constantly a new mystery Charmed DVD Collection and things are never, ever wrapping up. So in these recaps, we do tend to continuously be wild and never actually end the stories and just constantly complicate things forever. It has a " Charmed DVD SeasonsWhen will it f*** Charmed DVD Box seting end?" Charmed DVD Set kind of quality to it, Charmed DVD 1-8right? That's one of the things that we're DVD Charmed satirizing.
HitFix: But if people tune in for every episode, Medium DVDwill there be plotlines Medium DVD Collection that progress through the recaps?
EG: That's why I say "Lost" meets "Clue." It's Medium DVD Seasonsall the same characters -- The Prodigal, The Gypsy Gardener, the Bastard Tycoon -- these archetypes always stays the same and then it's like your basic soap soap structure, with these same Medium DVD Box set people and these insane things happen to them. Another way of saying where the genesis comes from for this is that I love soaps. I think soaps are absolutely hilarious and I always have, but the Medium Seasons plots kinda of suck. Medium Box set If you can do anything, if you can kill somebody and bring them back as their twin brother or something like that, well you can do so much more with a soap than what people do with them. They tend to be about incest and paternity issues and stuff like that. We're just taking a soap and making it much better, in our opinion. As soaps go, they have their archetypes and constant intrigue and love DVD Medium triangles and those things. We wanted to jump into that world and just have fun in this world.
HitFix: "Point Dume," the show you're recapping, The Apprentice DVD Box Set in your mind is it it a good show or is it the worst show ever?
EG: We love "Point Dume," actually. We think "Point The Apprentice DVD Dume" is great, because we love shows like "Dark Shadows" and there's a lot of shows out there that we love. And I love melodrama. If you look at a soap opera, people think soap operas The Apprentice DVD Collectionare bad because the acting is bad, but it's not true. The acting in a lot of soap operas is really, really good. The problem is that the lines are really f***ing awful. Right? It's just The Apprentice Box Setso insane what they're saying, so that's the tension and the humor in a soap opera for me. These actors have to really, really sell the most insane situations. And we went to that The Apprentice Seasonson this. If you watch it, the tone is very straight-forward. We all felt like the stuff we saw The Apprentice tv series on the Internet was very over-the-top and spoofy, with a lot of fake wigs and that kind of stuff. We wanted to see what would happen if we just played something insane straight. DVD The ApprenticeSo this is our little experiment, with "Point Dume" to see how it works out.
HitFix: What's the budget here and how was it financed? prison break dvdHow lean is the prison break dvds production?
EG: We had to spend a little bit of money on it, but it's very close to zero dollars. We certainly spent under a thousand dollars on it. But, having said that, we used a lot of volunteer work so going forward we're going to have to find somebody who can finance, because there was a lot of work in this that people were nice enough to donate.
