Thanks to Bad Fred for bringing this to my attention –

It looks like that Amy has signed on to make an appearance at a brand new convention, this time for the upcoming T1 — A three day convention for fans of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Chuck, Dollhouse and Dr Horrible’s Sing Along Blog featuring guest talks; photo & autograph sessions; competitions; parties; and much more.

It will run from 24-26 April 2009 at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel in the UK. Tickets can be purchased at this site but please note that, “Ticket prices will be subject to an increase on 1st February 2009.”

Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend despite living in the UK, so I — and I’m sure the fans — would appreciate a written account and/or picture donations.

I had a wonderful surprise in my inbox this morning; a batch of scans from 2003 — including rarer material — courtesy of the ever lovely Bad Fred. Gallery links and previews are below, enjoy!

A heads up for US fans: A Near Death Experience will once again be re-airing on the Lifetime Movie Network. Last time was August, this time it will re-air on Sunday, October 26 at 6:00 pm et.

Again, if anyone could record this movie for the site it would be greatly appreciated — thanks in advance!

Once you’re in the Jossverse, it’s hard to escape, Amy Acker has discovered. Not that you’d really want to. There are worse things than being associated with Joss Whedon, the writer-director-producer whose cultlike fanbase worships his creations: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly and the upcoming Fox SF series Dollhouse.

When Acker, who played Winifred “Fred” Burkle on Angel for three years, heard that Whedon was developing Dollhouse, she naturally wanted in.

Co-created with Eliza Dushku, another Whedon veteran, Dollhouse centers around a secret organization that programs specially modified humans–known as “dolls”–with temporary memories and personalities suited to different assignments. Acker plays the role of Dr. Claire Saunders, the caretaker of the dolls, who has a mysterious past of her own. The role was originally written for a woman in her 40s or 50s, but Whedon ultimately decided to adapt it for Acker based on his experience working with her and their ongoing friendship.

Acker spoke with SCI FI Wire exclusively in a phone interview last week and talked about reuniting with Whedon, with a peek at what Jossverse fans can expect from the new series. Dollhouse is set for a January premiere on Fox and will air Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Thanks to Spoiler TV, we now have the synopsis for the episode that Amy is guest starring in, as well as the first batch of MQ stills, although we still don’t know which character Amy is playing. Judging by the stills, I believe that Amy is playing the mother of the patient (a young boy.)

“A Family Thing” – At Oceanside Wellness, friendships are tested and secrets revealed when Addison discovers that Naomi is concealing the practice’s financial problems. Meanwhile, Violet wonders what secret Cooper is keeping from her, while Cooper himself has to decide whether or not to reveal a medical secret to a patient.

The episode will air WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1 (9:00-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

I finally found the time to sit down and finish writing up the pages for the Filmography so that section is now complete; with the exception of The Energy Specialist (2001) and Eight Minutes (2001), since no information is available whatsoever — as far as I am aware.

I also wrote up a new page, titled Rumoured Projects, which aims to be a reference point for all the projects that Amy was initially attached to/cast in but didn’t end up filming. I’m sure I’ve missed a few, so if you think you know of them, don’t hesitate to get in touch, thanks!

And finally, I’ve added a new page to the ‘Information’ section, titled They Said — a lovely extract from an interview with the actors who played Fred’s parents on Angel. Happy reading!
