Tom Brevoort?

Or is it Breevort?

Accept no substitutes

There’s very little that AMAZING SPIDER-MAN writer Marc Guggenheim likes more than a plug for his ABC television series Eli Stone, now in its second season. And there are very few lengths he won’t go to in order to get one.

This is how, last season, Natasha Henstridge wound up taking an important and plot-crucial phone call from “Tom Brevoort at Chaykin Industries." But this year, Marc topped himself—and all, I’d like to think, for the chance to be mentioned on this blog.

Two weeks ago, actor Matt Reidy was Tom Brevoort. Or, should I say, Tom Breevort (Marc had some line about them deliberately changing the spelling in order to get the name past their legal department, but I know he just can’t spell it just like everybody else.) And while he possesses a distinctive lack of proud, distinguished facial hair, Matt carried the torch proudly. Some might say he stole the show (some in my family, at least.)

Marc Guggenheim’s Eli Stone. Tuesdays at 10:00 on ABC. This is not a Marvel-sponsored event.

More later.

Jeez Tom!!! Talk about jinx-ing a guy, Eli Stone was just cancelled by ABC. No-more plugs for a while okay.

...I hadn't been credited in the last Indiana Jones.

So, he can add to his resume, "I'm not a Tom Brevoort, but I played one on TV."

Too bad about Eli Stone. I'm very disappointed (but not surprised) about Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money. Unfortunately, I was probably part of the problem. We've been stocking up recordings of both shows to watch in marathon viewings. I think DSM might have found its audience in an earlier timeslot. I know we taped it instead of watching because it was on too late. (wow I feel old)

Yep, cancelled
Has anyone ever seen Tom and Ted McGinley in the same place?
