I cannot believe that the site’s anniversary has passed me by once again!

I’m thankful for the visitors & fans for visiting in the first place — and it looks like there have been extra visitors lately; thanks! — and of course, another year’s worth of updates covering Amy’s projects.

I love working on this site.

Just a heads up that Amy’s upcoming guest spot on Grimm may be episode 1×11, titled ‘Tarantella’, which is scheduled to air on February 10, 2012.

I’ll be sure to keep you guys updated!

Buddy TV has revealed that Amy will play two characters in her upcoming guest spot on Once Upon a Time, as well as touching on Amy’s other guest spot on Grimm — which will air in February — details are below. How exciting!

In other news, you can take a sneak peek at one of Amy’s characters in Storybrook, thanks to a behind-the-scenes photographer. The images are available to view over at Flickr — such an interesting look for Amy! Personally, I’m really looking forward to this guest spot.

Grumpy is getting a love interest. What saintly maiden could Once Upon a Time get to put up with this surly dwarf? According to The Hollywood Reporter, her part will be played by Amy Acker.

Acker, well-known to audiences from her roles on Angel and Dollhouse, will play the characters of Astrid (in Storybrooke) and Nova (in fairy-tale land). Exactly what her relationship will be with Leroy and Grumpy (Lee Arenberg), we will only find out when the episode airs late in the winter of 2012.

This isn’t Amy Acker’s only foray into fairy-tale TV in 2012. The actress will also have a guest-starring role on Grimm in early February. On that show, she will play a Black Widow character. What exactly does a Black Widow do on a show like Grimm? Executive producer David Greenwalt noted, “She has an issue with men that has to be worked out. And it’s kind of a life and death issue.”

Just a quick post to wish everyone a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.

Updates may be a little slow while we enjoy the holidays, but I look forward to following Amy’s career into 2012- we already have guest appearances on Once Upon a Time & Grimm to look forward to, as early as January! And let’s not forget the long awaited release of The Cabin in the Woods in April & the surprise movie with Joss Whedon, Much Ado About Nothing.

Of course, we’re bound to have even more to look forward to, perhaps the R1/R2 DVD release of Sironia and Dear Santa…? Here’s hoping, anyhow!

Enjoy the holidays!

Back in November, Amy made her first public appearance of the year, appearing in a family friendly interpretation of Prokofiev’s Peter And The Wolf — the article below offers more information. I’ve also added a few images to the gallery; previews & links are below. Doesn’t Amy look lovely?

- The Broad Stages ‘Peter And The Wolf’ Saturday Morning Mash-Up With MUSE/IQUE

As part of her Saturday Morning Mash-Up series, passionately innovative conductor Rachael Worby, Artistic Director of MUSE/IQUE, offers a kid-friendly version of Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf in which classical music becomes cool. Add in special guest narrators – Golden Globe winning actress Wendie Malick (Just Shoot Me, Hot In Cleveland) and Dan Lauria (The Wonder Years, ED, JAG) – and they will leave you and your family gasping (and texting) for joy. Before you know it, the line between orchestra and audience disappears. Performances take place at 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM on November 5, 2011.

Worby, who spends more than half the performance off the stage directly engaging the kids and families, brings her lifelong passions for people and music to the experience of the Saturday Morning Mash-Ups. As Artistic Director of MUSE/IQUE, Worby is renowned for mixing high culture with casual whimsy. She has engaged writer Matt Nix to create the text for a group of actors, including Malick and Lauria, who will each be paired with an instrument. Additional cast members are David Fickas, Kiele Sanchez, Amy Acker, Jay Karnas and Bradley Whitford as…the wolf!

Several clips of Amy’s TV movie, Dear Santa, have been released online courtesy of Image Entertainment — the clips are only available for USA residents. However, Trailer Addict have also posted the clips online. The clips & Amy look rather cute. Hopefully, these shall tide you guys over until we can add DVD screencaptures to the gallery!

In other news, I came across a still of Amy in Dear Santa as part of an interview by the Calgary Herald with Amy’s co-star, Patrick Creery, who played the homeless shelter’s chef. Thus, I’ve added the still to the gallery; preview to your right & link below.

And finally, Dear Santa has been airing pretty regularly on TV lately, including Lifetime on Christmas Day, so be sure to check your local listings if you’d like to catch a viewing.

Neither the trailer or new poster features Amy, but I felt it warranted an update, since it’s the first batch of material to be released since the movie completed production back in 2009.

Thus, the poster has been added to the gallery; preview to your right & link below and you can view the HD trailer on YouTube — it does contain a lot of spoilers, but it looks awesome. Happy viewing!
