I'm a couple months behind on updating. Sorry about that!

I created a Facebook page a few months ago, but never got around to actually doing anything with it until today. I've created a news feed into the notes section, so if you have a Facebook account, you can subscribe to it. C-P.net on Facebook here.

Craig has narrated a new game called Jenarium: Rise of the New Sun. Visit the official website.

There's a small interview with Craig at 3news.co.nz. New US fantasy TV series being made in NZ

Good news for those of you outside the US! You can now purchase each episode of LotS after it airs through the iTunes store.

Read an article about it here.

You can download the premiere 2-hour episode of Legend of the Seeker in two parts. They are .flv files, so you'll need a VLC player to play them. I know nothing about these files, so if you're having trouble playing them, try a VLC support group. These files are watermarked, unfortunately.

I did a pretty terrible job recording it myself in sections, but I can upload mine in MP4 format if anyone is interested.

The official site for Legend of the Seeker has updated with several videos of the cast, including one of Craig. See them here.

Also, there's an unofficial fansite for LotS, which looks to have a lot of great info from the TV show and the books. Thanks to Amanda for letting me know about it!

Sorry if you're seeing this post twice, but I posted on Saturday night, and it wasn't showing up on several friends' lists, so I'm posting it again.

I recorded the documentary "Making of a Legend" on my tivo, and was able to convert the file to a M4V, which should be playable through iTunes if you import it into your iTunes library. I was also able to play it through Quicktime.

Download the documentary here.

Unfortunately, if any of you have trouble playing it, I'm not going to be able to help you figure out why, as I know nothing about these file formats. PLEASE DO NOT upload this documentary anywhere else!

I also made a few screen caps of Craig, which I added to the new section of the photo gallery here.

I also started a page for the new TV series that you can check out here.

Check out the new trailer for Legend of the Seeker HERE. It's got a tiny clip of Craig.

There is a bootleg version of the Underworld: Rise of the Lycans trailer that was shown at Comic*Con in San Diego a few weeks ago HERE.

I can't see Craig in it, but it's a nice first glimpse into the film.

There is already an official site for Legend of the Seeker. You can see the two principal actors and even a quick trailer for the show HERE. I'm sure Craig will be added soon!

Craig has been cast in a new TV series that will be shown on the major US TV network, ABC, this fall! From Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert, the creators of Xena, and Hercules, the ONE HOUR series is called Legend of the Seeker. It will premiere with a 2-hour hour episode on November 1st.

From the Winter Fest official site, I've added several photos from the 2008 comedy debate in the gallery here.

There is also an article about the ski race Craig participated in on the stuff.co.nz website.

Craig was part of the comedy debate last night at the annual Queenstown Winter Festival. There are two articles about the debate/festival, but nothing really specifically featuring Craig.

Craig is also going to be taking part in a series called The Sitting,where portrait artist Marty Welch will interview Craig and paint his portrait on TVNZ 6. The painting will then be auctioned for Starship Children's Hospital.

Craig is taking part in a charity event this weekend for Cure Kids. See article on stuff.co.nz website.

Finally, our first real article on Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans, on the fangoria.com site here.

Makes me wonder how Craig's character is going to die. Will it be by sword, crossbow bolt or having his head chopped off?

According to this article, the release date for Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans will be January 23, 2009.
