Summary (SPOILER WARNING):  Set in 1890's New Orleans, Vendetta is the shocking true story of Sicilian immigrant dockworkers and the local businessmen and politicians who sought to exploit them and take control of the docks. After the Chief of police is brutally slain, hundreds of Sicilians are rounded up; 13 are ultimately charged with murder. Nine men are tried and when subsequently acquitted, vigilante justice sets the stage for the worst lynching in U.S. history. 

Also starring: Christopher Walken, Bruce Davison.  Directed by Nicholas Meyer.

June 19 There is now a guestbook for the web site. This will allow you, the visitors to these pages, to leave messages and comments about the site and Clancy Brown's projects. You can find the guestbook here:  http://books.dreambook.com/earth2kim/cb.html

Also, don't forget about the upcoming Earth 2 convention in Los Angeles, and a chance to see Clancy Brown in person! The registration date is closing in, more information at their web site:  http://members.aol.com/e2party/home.html

May 20 There is no sign of The Caseys on UPN's fall schedule, not even in the list of midseason replacements. However, not all of the midseason replacements have been announced, and by the looks of the lineup it seems they might just be needing a lot!  You can see it for yourself at: UPN's Fall Schedule
May 18 UPN announces it's fall lineup this Thursday, May 20. As soon as I hear if The Caseys has been picked up or not, I will post here. Keep your fingers crossed! 

A blurb about The Caseys appeared in the Hollywood Reporter yesterday or the day before saying: 

"Clancy Brown (Earth 2, The Adventures of Superman) will play the lead in the pilot of the UPN drama THE CASEYS. The series is about a family adjusting to their father (Brown) after he is paralyzed." 

And from Ultimate TV

"'The Caseys,' from 20th Century Fox TV is the first TV project from Michael Steinberg, director of "The Waterdance" and a producer of 'There's Something About Mary.' The drama is about a wheelchair-bound, working-class father in Rhode Island who's forced to build a new life with his family. UPN." 

And in honor of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, which comes out tomorrow in the US... 

Clancy in Star Wars?

April 2 I hope there aren't too many of you who missed the Clancy online chat the other night (March 30th). I only heard about it a mere 4 hours before it began, thanks to Char who spotted it on the TV Guide page and notified the Earth2 mailing lists.  (Thanks Char!) 

Clancy chat

Unfortunatly, the transcript of the chat, like others at Yahoo Chat, take a *very* long time to appear (if ever), and there is no way to cut and paste from the chat screen. So, let me give you a brief rundown on some of the more important topics covered... 

  • Clancy will soon be filming a pre-pilot pilot (small sections of a pilot) for UPN titled The Caseys. He plays Peter Casey, the family patriarch who, after a construction accident, becomes a parapelgic. The show deals with the struggle the family goes through after the accident. 
  • He is doing voiceovers for two animated series SpongeBob Squarepants, where he plays SpongeBob's boss Mr.Crabs, and The Big Guy and the Robot, where he is one of the evil Legion. 
  • In Claire Makes it Big he is the boyfriend of Claire... who makes it big.  And in Chump Change he is "the man", a slightly eccentric acting coach.
March 12 Clancy to attend an Earth 2 convention!

In case you missed the image on the main page, Clancy has agreed to be a guest at the upcoming Earth 2 Fifth Anniversary Reunion Party this July 17th, at the Radisson Valley Center in Sherman Oaks, California!  Barring other professional obligations, of course.

Feb 14 There is an Earth 2 marathon on The Sci-Fi Channel tommorrow, February 15, in the U.S. which runs all day long. 

Any images or other files which load in from www.earth2.org/~grendler/ are no longer working. This includes the Highlander screen captures, the Rosie movie file, and images on the Articles page. I will need to re-upload these to a more stable storage area, and until then they will not be availiable. I'll try to do this as soon as possible! 

The movie Clancy is currently filming in Toronto is called Lazarus and the Hurricane.

January 25

I added Flubber screen captures to the Image Gallery, and two interesting items in the 1998 area of Articles & Interviews. One is a 18 second clip from the Rosie O'Donnell Show where the cast of ER tries to explain who Clancy is to her!  The other is CB's Pacific Bell telephone company commercial movie sound file. The Rosie clip should take about 5 minutes to download depending on your connection. The one-minute PacBell clip is longer, about 25 minutes. I'm sorry about the long download, but I can't figure out how to make the sound file smaller.

January 13 Clancy has recently finished filming his role in a small independent film called Chump Change, which has been filming in Los Angeles and Wisconsin. Other cast members include Fred Willard, Traci Lords, Tim Matheson, Anne Meara and her husband Jerry Stiller (of "Seinfeld"). 

Clancy has also completed work on yet another independent film titled Claire Makes It Big. This is a short film directed by Jeremy Workman (He did a movie titled "Who is Henry Jaglom?"). 

Clancy is also about to start filming Hurricane Carter or Lazarus and the Hurricane. I'm not sure of the exact title, or CB's role in the movie. This film stars Academy Award winner Denzel Washington and is directed by Norman Jewison. The story follows an ex-boxer (played by Denzel Washington) who was wrongly jailed for murder. Greg Kinnear ("Sabrina") is also supposedly playing a Canadian who helps free Carter.

January 5 Today, Clancy celebrates his 40th birthday! The CBWS would like to wish him a very, very happy birthday! You can read birthday messages others sent in here.

January 3 Happy New Year everyone! 

The third issue of the Clancy Brown Fan Club newsletter is in the mail! The January issue focuses on Clancy's birthday, containing well-wishes from fans around the world. Also included are excerpts from a personal interview conducted by Fan Club creator and editor Beth Blighton, in which Clancy talks about the character Danziger and the direction "Earth 2" would have taken if the series had continued. (He has some *very* interesting things to say about the Devon/Danziger relationship... Are you D/Ders listening??)  There is also a character essay about Danziger written by Susan Bowden of the UK, and a "Bad Boys" review by Gry W. Neilsen of Denmark. 

Subscription information to the fan club newsletter can be found on the CBFC page.

November 27 I hope all of you in the U.S. had a happy Thanksgiving!

I used some of my vacation time to continue to work on the site.  I added a bunch of articles to the Articles and Interviews page, and also scanned in more images for the Image Gallery.  I also made asign to help you locate the new items.

November 8 I'm sorry I haven't updated this in a while, but there hasn't been much info around, until now. 

The Agency and Vendetta still do not have exact air dates; however, there is a "positive buzz" surrounding both of them.  In Vendetta, Clancy plays Officer David Henessey, Chief of Police in 1890s New Orleans.  HBO is showing previews for this, and it seems like it may air in February during Sweeps.  In Showtime's The Agency, Clancy plays Dale Beckham who goes undercover to rescue a friend from North Korea. Three other actors who Clancy has worked with before, Tom Berenger ("Shoot to Kill"), Ron Silver ("Blue Steel") & Alice Krige ("Donor Unknown"), are also in the cast.

September 27 There's a new cartoon series being aired which Clancy is doing voiceovers for. It's called Voltron: The Third Dimension and airs on the WB Network. I believe on Sundays, but check your local listings.
September 14 I've recieved word that HBO might be showing promos for Vendetta. Not sure yet what these previews show or what this movie is about, but I'll keep you posted.  (Thanks Kathy!)
August 20 Clancy will be in an upcoming Showtime movie tentitivly titled The Agency.  It will air on Showtime sometime at the end of 1998 or early 1999. 

He will also be in an HBO movie titled Vendetta, playing Officer Hennesey. 

He is also lending his voice to the Nickelodeon series Sponge Bob.
