Wow.   

I had no idea my little April Fool’s prank would go over so well.  (Or so terribly, depending on how you look at it.)  I was sure that with my "take it down on April 2nd" hint that you would all see right through me.  I guess you all have been so starved for information about the film, you were willing to believe even the most ridiculous of stories.   (And if you go back and read it again, you will see how preposterous the whole thing was…)

Or maybe you all have put far too much faith in me.  Don’t take my word (or any actor’s word) as the Gospel.  I am a genuinely good guy.  I really do mean well.  But when it comes to HARMLESS pranks, I can be totally full of shit and I have no qualms about pulling someone’s leg or yanking someone’s chain.  It’s my job to make you believe whatever crap is spewing out of my mouth.  

I honestly think you should have known something was "fishy" (as one of my friends said) when I started speaking explicitly about other people’s personal lives.  If you know me, you can rest assured that I’m the last person to go running my mouth in public about who someone is sleeping with (me included) or who has a substance abuse problem.  Let me go on record now in stating that Shemar is a sweetheart, a professional in every way and that I totally believe his assertions that he is 100% heterosexual.  And although it has been noted that Merwin and I had a tiny bit of tension during season 2, (all character related) he is an absolute joy to work with and the LAST person to allow himself to be involved in any type of physical altercation.  (You can ask some other cast members about that.)  As for Evelyn and Charles, you needn’t worry about them.  None of the things I said about them are true either.  And Kelly and Ashley are fictional characters from a script I’m writing...  

And as for the movie, it has already far exceeded my expectations.  It’s playing much funnier and much more emotionally poignant than I ever imagined it would and  it is so BEAUTIFULLY shot, I can’t even tell you.  Fans of the show are going to love this movie.  Obviously, I haven’t seen any of the footage.  I’m basing all this on the performances I see happening around me.  And there is not one diva actor on this set.  Everyone here is lovely.  The crew is amazing and even though it’s cold, we’re all keeping warm with laughter and love for these characters.  

I was shocked to see how many of you were waiting to hear that the movie was going to suck and that LOGO was just waiting to sabotage the whole "Noah" franchise.  Quite the contrary.  LOGO has a lot of stake in this film and I think they’ll be very pleased to see what we’ve done so far.  So stop doubting.  We’re holding it down in Canada.  The movie is going to be FABULOUS!  Happy April, Fools!

(I realized I couldn’t let this go on any longer when Allan and Willam, both of whom know how silly I am and how I keep the "business" in this very public forum very CLEAN, responded with words of encouragement.  I love y’all for the support.  But COME ON!)

xo,

P.S.  I love that a couple of you have picked up on the Channing Tatum reference.  Don’t sleep on that white boy!!!
