I came across a fairly recent Q&A with Amy’s husband, James Carpinello — who, as you may know, is currently starring in the Broadway play, Rock of Ages — and towards the end, the questions touch on Amy and how they met; a few extracts are posted below. It’s a lovely read and I highly recommend reading the Q&A in full.

You’ve mentioned your wife [actress Amy Acker] several times now. How did you meet?
Through mutual friends who were waiting tables together and thought we should get together. I went to a party at her house with a group of people, and the rest is history.

What was it about her?
Well, here’s a picture [he shows off a snapshot of his gorgeous wife], sooo that was the first impression. But I had also been in some relationship doozies before her. A best friend of mine said to me, “You can’t marry the crazies.” And there was something about her—she comes from Dallas and is so sweet and level and genuine and centered—that was everything I hoped that girl would be for me. You know how you have an idea in your head of what you hope it will be like when you’re in love, but you never seem to quite find that girl? Well I met her. And then I almost screwed it up!

How?
Oh, you know—as soon as I met her, someone I had been with before called out of the blue and almost screwed it up. But luckily [Amy] stuck with me, and I’m thankful for it everyday. We’ve been married six years.

Thanks to Lisa for the heads up! A mini movie site for 21 and a Wake Up has been launched where you can view a new “60 second commercial” & send an email to receive free tickets to the Sunday preview screenings — there are 3 in total; August 2, August 16 and August 30 — if you do manage to attend, I’m sure the fans would appreciate a comment on the movie & Amy’s performance.

Thus, I’ve added a handful of screencaptures from the commercial to the gallery — featuring some new scenes with Amy and are much better quality caps than the previous trailer — and the clip to the video vault. Links and previews are below, enjoy!

Dollverse has confirmed what I suspected — Amy will indeed be in the first episode of Dollhouse‘s second season! As previously reported the episode is titled ‘Vows’.

1) Amy Acker is back in the ‘house for a while. There had been a bit of query as to if she can appear at all, as she’s in ABC’s “Happy Town” this season. Well, for the record, she’s back in the first episode of season two.

2) Alexis Denisof – Wesley from ‘Angel’, for those who live under a Whedonless rock – is indeed in the season. He’s playing a senator who’s gonna kick some Rossum ass.

3) Themes on display this season: ethics, and what’s possible with this technology. And what happens when it goes wrong.

4) Did you love “Epitaph One”? Do you what to know what the future holds? Well, fear not. Because the show will flash forward to the future at times. For the bulk of the opening episode, it’s 3 months since the events of “Omega”.

5) Expect to find out more about the lives of the people running the ‘house.

Once again, huge thanks to the ever lovely Stef, I’ve now also added over 080 HQ DVD screencaptures to the gallery from ‘Echo’ — the original pilot of Dollhouse which is only available on the DVD — enjoy this treat; more coming up! Gallery link and previews are below, enjoy!
