There's a girl on my LJ f-list that makes "Of the Day" posts about Gale, with random music vids and songs thrown in. A few days ago she posted this quote:
““Insert it into your mouth in a phallic way, Gale,” coaches the episode’s director, Canadian film vet David Wellington, between takes. “Make it a performance.” Harold takes the note gamely and in subsequent takes looks longingly at the eclairs before swallowing them whole.” ~ From The Advocate – Inside QAF.
Only ET has the news from Teri Hatcher that she is going to be naked on the new season of "Desperate Housewives" -- and this time she may take her clothes off for a new guy!
"It is ABC. I can't be completely naked," Teri jokes with ET's Mark Steines, who is talking to the actress about her upcoming charity event as a guest vocalist for The Band from TV, while getting the latest on "Desperate Housewives."
"She is five years in the future and there are circumstances that have led her to have a more pulled-together personality," Teri continues. "There is a new guy on the show. He is great."
The new guy is being played by Gale Harold, but that doesn't mean we have seen the last of Mike (James Denton).
I can't wait until they actually interview Gale or release a new picture of him. For a character that's being described by Marc Cherry as an "artsy type", he was pretty buttoned up in the season finale. Hopefully we'll see some casual, scruffy Gale. It's a good look on him.
The Gale news never stops! For those wondering why he was at the NBC summer press tour party, the knoxnews guy tells us why
"As for Gale ... he was just having fun. He was attending the party with his friend, Yara, who is a co-star of Christian Slater's new series, "My Own Worst Enemy."
And I ran across my new best friend on this tour -- Gale Harold, who assured me that not all Southern people are stupid.
Gale greeted me and than sat me down to talk about all things Southern and how much he enjoyed our rather unusual meeting the other night. He's quite the kidder. He had me going for a bit when he pointed out someone who he identified as his girlfriend. In reality, he didn't even know her. Gale loves to mess with people -- almost anyone really -- if he can get away with it.
He picked up a chicken breast, enjoyed eating it and then accidentally dropped it. Instead of playing by the 5-second rule, he picked it up and then threw it like a bowling ball across the lawn, hitting a publicist in the foot. Thank goodness it was a crowded party. No one knew he was the mysterious thrower of the chicken breast. Can you imagine the story that publicist had the next day? "I was at the Beverly Hills party when this chicken breast attacked me!"
I gotta say that I'd forgo the 5-second rule on dropped chicken as well. It's really only good for things that aren't moist, like M&M's and Skittles.
I'm so glad that Gale seems to be enjoying himself as he's promoting his role on DH. Good for him!
Now I just need some new pics to go with all of the press that's floating around.
I woke up to find this amusing article all over my f-list. Seems like Gale had a good time in Knoxville.
"Perhaps the most interesting conversation of the evening was with new "Housewives" co-star Gale Harold. He's playing Teri Hatcher's new love interest -- an artsy type -- in the new season (when the show moves its story 5 years later). He kept toasting my glass and asking me about Knoxville's Girls, a band. He also knew of the song "Knoxville Girl." We toasted often. He strayed off subject frequently, and he apologized for being an "a$$." But, in all honesty, he was very amusing. He asked me to come down to Alabama when he visted there next. He wants to party with me in Atlanta. Whatev."
The latest Desperate Housewives news from eonline's Watch with Kristin:
Susan Definitely Has a New Man, (Sorry Mike!) Regarding Gale Harold (Vanished, Queer as Folk), who plays Susan's (Teri Hatcher) new man, executive producer Bob Daily says, "He just shot his first scene today and Marc [Cherry] said it went great." Said Wind, "And it wasn't an easy scene to start with...it involved a little skin."
I'm gonna go completely gratuitous with some Gale skin. It's from the 12/2003 issue of Vanity Fair.
Scruffy Gale dressed in all black is always worth repeating.
So, if you know anything about Gale you know that yesterday was his birthday. (Which I would have posted about but my computer was having *issues*) And in case you had forgotten, just cruise the IMDB board or check out my f-list over on LJ. It's kind of sweet (in a celebrity-stalking kind of way) that so many people care about Gale and want good things for him on his birthday.
This little post popped up on my Gale Google Alert and I laughed so hard when I read it. Then I spent a few minutes gazing at the Brian's O-face picspam.
"Still, having eyes as I do, I've taken notice here and there of its star Mr. Harold, and I do know well enough that to summon his name is to invite some sort of fannish wrath very specific to a sort of compulsive web-type... i.e. his fans are crazy people. Hi, crazy people! I will not abuse your lover here. I don't know or care if he and that blond twelve year old he romanced on the show were really in love or not but mean old society kept them apart."
A pic with Gale and Faye Ann Lee. I doubt that "Falling For Grace" will make it to Austin, but if it does, I am so there.
I watched Wake this week and I'll review it later. I'm watching it again tomorrow because I have a squee date/movie chat with a couple of Gale fangirls.
I will be SO FREAKING HAPPY when Gale starts to do some press for DH so I can get some new pics.
I got my Wake DVD and the Puddle of Mudd CD in the mail today. I'm uploading my CD to itunes right now so I can copy it to my Zune. Eventually, when my husband loads the correct software on my laptop, I'll be able to copy Wake and all five seasons of Queer As Folk to my Zune so I can watch them on the go.
I am ridiculously excited at the prospect.
I found the official Wake website today and grabbed a few pics. Gale must spend a good part of the movie in a housecoat because in most of the pics he's wearing one. Not that I'm complaining. He looks gorgeous in it. *has a shallow moment*
Amazon sent me an e-mail today letting them know that my order had been sent. Yippee!
In addition to Wake, I also ordered Puddle Of Mudd's latest CD, Famous. It was released last year (on my girl's birthday, what a coincidence) and I remember reading about it but I never heard any of the tracks on the radio. Odd.
Anyway, I was listening to Time Flies on my Zune (I have mad love for this song) and it made me think of them so I went to Amazon and added their CD to my order. The only song that I know from this release is Psycho and that's because my girls heard it and wanted to know if I had it on any of my CD's. I have their other two CD's and I like them both, so we'll wait and see how this one fares.
Now, back to the Gale!
I love the skeptical look on Gale's face in this picture. I imagine he looked a lot like this when FOX was explaining to him why it made sense to kill off their leading man seven episodes into the the first season of Vanished. Bastards!
One last musical observation: The song White, Discussion by Live from their CD Throwing Copper is made of WIN.
“He's breaking new ground for bringing sexuality to a performance, and not just gay sexuality. I don't think any other actor has ever done what he's doing. I think it's kind of historic.” ~ Ron Cowen on Gale
On my LJ f-list there's a user that posts "Of the day quotes, pics and songs" and the other day she posted this quote about Gale. Then, this picture popped up yesterday on my Gale Harold Google alert.
This little message popped up as part of my Gale Harold Google alert.
The season premiere will begin filming on July 7. Season 5 will have 24 episodes.
Cast members known to be returning include Teri Hatcher (Susan); Felicity Huffman (Lynette); Marcia Cross (Bree); Eva Longoria Parker (Gabrielle); Nicollette Sheridan (Edie); Brenda Strong (Mary Alice); Doug Savant (Tom); Ricardo Antonio Chavira (Carlos); Shawn Pyfrom (Andrew); Kyle MacLachlan (Orson); Dana Delany (Katherine); and James Denton (Mike).
Bree's well on her way to becoming the next Martha Stewart.
Edie returns to Wisteria Lane, having also gone through significant change as well.
Susan has a new man, played by Gale Harold.
Many people have emailed me wondering about Susan's relationship with her new man, who may or may not be named Ken. I don't know anything about their relationship beyond the fact that they have one. It then goes on to detail the history of Susan and Mike's relationship and in doing so leaves no doubt that Desperate Housewives is indeed a soap opera. No one's life is that fucked-up.

And in keeping with the "Gale on TV" theme, here's a couple of pics from the 2001 TV guide article on Queer As Folk.
Oh my poor blog. I have been forgetting to update you lately.
I was at the Gale Harold Italian website the other day and ran across a bunch of the publicity photos from Suddenly Last Summer. I kind of liked this one.
He's doing the infamous lip-bite. Only, it looks more like a lip "lock down".
I tried to access the Italian site a few minutes ago to look for another pic and the site wasn't found. I think they've been having server problems lately, at least that's what I remember reading on the IMDB boards a few weeks ago. I certainly hope it's temporary because they have a gazillion pics of Gale.
Last week a thread was started on Gale's IMDB board by someone who saw him at a movie theater holding hands with a girl (presumably on a date). It set off quite a stir, most interestingly one that called into question the truth of the original poster. Evidently, because the OP didn't intrude on Gale's private time or space to take a picture to share with the rest of the world that meant that they were lying. Many pages of posts followed in defense of and in condemnation of the original post.
And then, two days ago, someone posted that "yes, Gale has a girlfriend and that he was at that particular theater because he lived in the neighborhood and it's all perfectly normal because this IS hollywood after all and it's common to see celebs all time."
One person responded with a post asking them to share the details.
And then...nothing.
For almost twenty four hours. Not one other person said "Wait a minute. How the hell do you know such personal stuff and why aren't you filling us in with all of the details??????"
I am SO disappointed with you IMDB Gale fanatics. You let a golden opportunity fall through your fingers.
Oh well.
It's rare that I find a picture of Gale that I haven't seen before. Most of the Gale sites are plastered with every pic ever taken of him. This is undoubtly several years old; but, he looks good so I'm posting it :)
First, last week's post and subsequent buzz about a Gale and a date at the movies sighting on the IMDB boards which threw some people into a frenzy. They're a very amusing (and sometimes mean and nasty) bunch of people.
Then, his profile was updated to show that he's in a small indie film called "Passenger Side" that just finished post-production work at the end of May. It think it's supposed to be shown at a film festival but I can't remember where and I'm to lazy to look right now :)
So Go Gale! *shakes her fangirl pom-poms*
I hope this is the start of a steady work (read "picture laden") time for him. I NEED SOME NEW GALE PICS, yo!
I'm just saying.
This pic popped up on my f-list yesterday. It's pretty old (maybe 5 years?) but it makes me laugh anyway.
So I watched The Unseen last night. I was pleasantly surprised. There were several of what I call "cringe worthy" moments, due to (over)acting, cheesy dialog and various southern accents being used but overall, I'll definitely be watching it again soon.
Visually, it was a stunning movie. The small, southern Georgia town that served as a backdrop was truly beautiful. One of my favorite scenes was the shot of the barb wired fence.
I was really surprised by Gale's performance, especially when you contrast it with the behind-the-scenes documentary that I found on you tube. He's so quiet and soft-spoken and almost uncomfortably shy when talking about his role in the movie and yet when you watch the movie he's very, very believable as an explosive and violent red neck with a haunting secret from his past.
It also stars Steve Harris (from The Practice) and Catherine Dent (from The Shield)who I think is a stunning woman. Michelle Clunie (Mel from Queer As Folk) plays Gale's love interest Kathleen in the movie, which is amusing because on QaF she and Brian spend most of their time on screen warring with one another. She was quite adorable in a white-trash, southern girl, kind of way.
I'm a huge fan of scruffy!Gale. I can't help it; it's the hillbilly in me.
A short behind-the-scenes documentary from you tube which includes the movie trailer.
If you like Gale at all then I'd definitely say it's worth your time to watch The Unseen.
