Just a little background on the
site, along with odds and ends
and various ramblings.
You never know what you may
find on this page!
Did You Know?
I started this website
after I became
completely and
absolutely wrapped
around Konrad, a
character Norbert
played in one episode
of the short-lived
television series The
Agency. I quickly
became a fan of all of
his work. This is just a
very small way of
showing appreciation
for his talent. Out of all
of his characters,
Konrad continues to
hold that special place
in my heart -- I must
admit that I have quite
a "thing" for that
character. Don't ask me
why -- I'm not sure I
can explain it.
Ramblings and info about the site, acknowledgements,
other random thoughts --
I should just retitle this page Thank You Mr. Weisser. It seems I have no end
of thanks and gratitude to offer him for his continued support of this website.
The most recent benefits from his support has allowed for an expanded
presentation on the film Seeds of Tragedy and The Killers Within -- neither one
of which are available on DVD.
Special thanks to Mr. Weisser for contributing several images for the Theater
section of this website, the most recent being some stills from his new play
The Arsonists, not to mention a very special treat of some “behind the
scenes” and other shots of the cast and set. And, it just keeps getting better
and better -- thanks to his ongoing generosity, I now have a full presentation of
The Arsonists online, complete with dozens of screencaps and a more
complete synopsis. You all know how I feel about Norbert, but I must also do a
special call out to John Achorn who played Joe Schmitt -- he was utterly
fabulous!!! Norbert and John were both nominated for awards for thier roles,
along with several other cast members and Director Ron Sossi.
There is a completely redesigned and expanded theater section, with more to
come soon. Norbert has graciously allowed me to share the photos from his
professional site with you on this site, and I will be adding stills from a
documentary made for Coyote Cycle that includes part of a daytime dress
rehearsal.
Also,be sure to check out all of the new screencaps from never-before-seen
features -- Keeping Secrets, Inseln Unter Dem Wind, Under Cover, After MASH
and more! These can be found throughout the Television and Movies section.
The Incident is now available on Amazon as well as TCM.com. It is also
available as a rental from Netflix. If this movie is of interest to you, please
take some time to read two very well written books on the subject: Guests
Behind the Barbed Wire, by Ruth Beaumont Cook, and another by the man who
is probably the foremost authority or historian on the subject, Arnold
Krammer, who authored Nazi POWs in America. This is also available as a
fascinating documentary on DVD from the History Channel.
Additionally, Brent Berry, who had a small role in the film, sent along several
photos for me to use on this site and the new website dedicated to that movie,
The Incident Movie. Thanks, Brent -- you and Norbert make all of this possible!
This website, which also includes an extensive section on German POWs in
America, will be entered into the 45th Annual Worldfest Houston International
FIlm Festival later this year.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you have comments or suggestions for things
you would like to see -- or just take a moment to say hi. I always enjoy hearing
from you!
