I spoke with Jane and the family and know that their house is safe. I was very concerned Sunday morning, knowing how close the fires were and that they were broadcasting live, across the street from her house. It was a scary situation for 48 hours. Now most of the fires in Malibu are contained. We are safe but suffering from the smoke in the area. Luckily the cool air and lack of wind has allowed the firefighters to get ahold of the fire.
People acted very civilly, helping one another out. California handled this disaster in a way the rest of the country should handle their disasters. They should see how things went on here and act accordingly. True, there is more money here than in most states, but a lot of disasters happen and the practice made this whole incident a lot easier to bear.
I was disappointed to see Jane in the bottom two. We cannot be complacent because she gets a good score from the judges. Everyone has to vote and support Jane as much as we can. I will try and see her next week. I will make an attempt to be there.
All the best,
Joe
Oct 16, 2007
Hi again. I didn't get to see Jane dance the past two weeks. Last night I fell asleep on the couch with the baby and missed the show, but we did vote for her and I will see how she did tonight on the results show. So keep voting for Jane and I will let Judy know when and if I go in person again to see her dance.
All the best,
Joe
Sept 29, 2007
I will try and answer all the questions you guys asked about Jane and Dancing with the Stars.
Nicole G, Maryland: Did Jane design her costumes or is there a designer for the show?JOE LANDO: There's a designer for the show and apparently I hear they love Jane, get along with her very well, and listen to Jane's input and Jane's designer, Sherri.
Christine J, France: Thanks a lot for your blog and it is very kind of you to answer our questions. Seeing Judy's poll on the site, a lot want you to dance on Dancing with the Stars, but yourself, would you want to participate? Anyway, it was nice to see you in the audience cheering on Jane.
Joe, the question of would you want to be on Dancing with the Stars is also from Nancy T, Maine; Clela D, NJ; Penni, NC & Heather, Arkansas.
JOE LANDO: Yeah, I think so, for sure. After seeing it and being there, I'd love to, but I don't know if they'll have me.
Jessie O, Georgia: What was it like to see Jane on stage? Are you proud of Jane? What was
your reaction when u saw Jane dancing?JOE LANDO: I was very proud. Both James and I were sitting there on the sidelines beaming, everything was perfectly executed, she did a wonderful job. I was very happy to see her and I know she is going to do very well.
Clara, Italy: Hi Joe....What kind of dance do you like?
JOE LANDO: I love the Tango, although I don't do it...yet.
Debby K, Pittsburg: What goes on at the set when the home audience is being shown commercials? Do the stars come out and mingle with the audience before the show? Before their performance, do the stars have the opportunity to practice on the dance floor, to become accustomed to its dimensions and texture of it? Is there any sort of reception after the show, or do the stars just go home right after the program ends?
JOE LANDO: They have a guy there who keeps the audience warmed up. He tells jokes, gives out books from Dancing with the Stars, and pulls people out of the audience to have them dance. Chris, Jane's little son, went out dancing the first night, it was very funny, and he got the book. The other night they were changing sets and they had the whole audience come down and dance. People who didn't know each other danced together. There were quite a few good dancers in the audience.
The stars do not come out because some of them are in makeup or wardrobe or rehearsing in the back, or practicing in the wings up until the last minute. By the time that I arrived, the celebrities have already had a chance to practice on the dance floor without an audience, but we don't see them practice at all. Surprisingly, no one has flubbed up yet.
Immediately after the show, they start to herd the audience out in specific directions and then, from the back of the studio, come 70 or so reporters and cameras. They start to put out a little roped off area, chained off thing, and all the stars stay in the middle. We got to talk to Jane for 5 or 10 minutes tops and then they flood the room with the press and everyone does publicity. After that, they then hear the music for their next dance and have a wardrobe fitting. They can then start to rehearse if they still have the energy.
Nancy T, Maine: It was wonderful seeing you cheer Jane on at DWTS. She was stunning to watch. What do you think of the three judges? I would love to hear more about what you saw behind the scenes. Did you get to see any of Jane's practice sessions? How would you compare her determination to dance to her acting? I hope you sit in the same place--easy to spot.
JOE LANDO: I think the judges are pretty darn accurate and I think they are trying to keep the dancers honest in their performance. They have to be overcritical, trying to entertain the crowd. I was really surprised how "small" everyone is, except that Len judge, he's the only one about my height, the rest are all shorter, including the two hosts.
I did not see any of Jane's practice sessions but I know William Shockley, actually by sheer coincidence, was in the same hall where Jane was practicing and got to see her perform her dance before anyone else in the country did.
Jane is intense and hard working in everything she does. Jane doesn't give anything less than 100 percent, even if it's just a friendly game of tennis, and that's one of the things I like about her.
Penni F, Lumberton, NC: You and James both looked like you were amazed at how easy she made it look. It's great that you and the Keaches have remained close friends, that you can show your support of each other's projects. Will you be in the audience again any time soon? If Kirsten told you she wanted to learn how to do ballroom dancing, would you be willing to learn it as well? Why or why not? Thanks for answering the questions. Have a great day.
JOE LANDO: I was there for Wednesday night's show and really enjoyed it and told James I'd be glad to be his date again any time in the future.
Of course I'd love to do that with Kirsten. We'd have a great time together and definitely laugh a lot; we're both kind of klutzy.
Emma, Beautiful UT: Hi Joe! If you were on DWTS, what professional dancer would you most like to be paired with? I would LOVE to be able to go watch in person. You're lucky! Thanks for answering and you look great Joe!!!
JOE LANDO: I don't know, they are all so good. I'd be intimidated to be with any of them and be with whoever wanted to dance with me.
Continue watching the show and supporting Jane, please. We're having a wonderful time watching her go all the way to winning the trophy. I'll be back next week with more Dancing with the Stars talk.
All the best,
Joe

We just got done reading all the birthday wishes for the kids and the "Welcome to the World" messages for William. I want to thank everyone for their good wishes. Will is a beatuiful little boy. Kirsten and I feel very blessed and very fortunate with our family and we want for nothing. So, please, no one send us any gifts for the baby or the kids. Instead, I would like you all to give a gift to the charity of your choice.
I also want to take this opportunity to rally the troops and ask all my fans to tune in Monday, September 24, to watch Jane on Dancing with the Stars, and to vote for her. Jane has invited me to the show, and I will be there rooting her on, and I promised Judy I will try to do a weekly blog on my impressions of what's going on on the show and about Jane.
Judy has also talked me into sharing these with my fans. Hope you all enjoy them. See you on Dancing with the Stars!
Love,
Joe, Kirsten, Jack,
Christian, Kate & Will

Hi, I hope everyone is enjoying their year so far. I have been doing a lot of traveling and not working "in the business," so sorry I have been so out out of touch. I hope to start looking for work again after the summer.
Kirsten and I want to thank everyone for their good wishes for our 10th wedding anniversary tomorrow. We can hardly believe it's been that long. We are not doing anything special to celebrate, just enjoying family life.
I told Judy I will try and answer your questions this coming Tuesday. Thanks for everyone's continued support and I will speak to you soon.
Love,
Joe, Kirsten, Jack,
Christian, and Kate

Hi, I hope everyone enjoyed their summer. I did. That’s why I’ve been out of touch with everybody, Judy and the cyber world.
I went with the family for a month-long, world-wind road trip; three kids, my wife, and I packed into the Suburban for nearly 4,683 miles. The first stop was Arizona, to visit our friends there. The second day was New Mexico. I showed the family where I spent my time working on Wildfire and actually stayed in the condo that I would stay in while I was working there. The kids had a great time in the pool and played around. Wildfire was filming while we were there but I haven’t been asked back as of yet.
Next stop was somewhere in Nebraska, I think it was Omaha, but I don’t remember. And then we were on to Chicago and ten days with my family, visiting our friends and celebrating my dad’s 80th birthday. We then crossed Iowa and the entire Midwest, up to Denver, Colorado, where we stayed with an old high school friend of mine, and her family.
The following day we took a leisurely drive from Denver, past Vail, to Glenwood Springs, to Aspen, my favorite place on this continent, where we hiked and biked and fished and just basically spent every moment outdoors, even attempting on the second-to-last day to hike down Ajax Mountain. Again, three kids, my wife, and I descended from 12,000 feet to around 7,000. It took two and a half hours and we almost got caught in a big thunderstorm, but we got lucky.
The kids didn’t enjoy it as much as we had hoped, it was rather difficult, but no one gave up. I met up with Jane and James in Aspen, coincidentally.
Then the drive was from there to St. George, Utah; we blew right past Las Vegas.
On the trip Kirsten read me a novel that I really loved, The Ride of our Lives, by Mike Leonard. I found it very poignant and at times very similar to my life.
As far as work goes, there hasn’t been a lot of auditions, although I was offered a screen test on ATWT for the part of Craig Montgomery. It would have involved relocating to NYC or leaving the family for periods of time and I just wouldn’t have been happy doing either of those.
Look for my buddy Brian Tarantina (Lucky from OLTL) in the premier of Heroes on NBC. He stayed with us while filming and I was actually his ride to work every morning. He received quite the star treatment while staying at Casa del Lando.
I hope everyone stays healthy and well for the rest of the summer and I’ll be talking to you soon, just keep checking the web site.
Love,
Joe, Kirsten, Jack,
Christian, and Kate

In a conversation I had with Joe today, he was excited to hear that his newest Wildfire episode would be on tonight, 'Loyalty.' I asked him if he could let us in on what happens in tonight's story.
"This is where more of my character starts to come out, Pete is starting to flush himself out. He meets up with his estranged son for the first time in two years. He is in need of my help and I show up."
When asked about continuing on the show, Joe said, "Hopefully, they want me back and I think there is a good chance of that." Joe also said the demographics changed with his last episode and it included adult women 18-49, which they did not have before.
He will also be appearing in a new Lifetime movie called The Abby Lord Story. "It's about a woman who is kidnapped. I play her yuppie husband. We pay off a million dollar ransom to the kidnappers and it wipes us out financially. One of the kidnappers is killed, the woman. The man gets away with the money and then you fast forward to the future and see what we face and how we get through it."
Orsen Bean and Joe auditioned for a new independent feature called Jam. They ran lines off each other. "Orsen and I auditioned together. I haven't heard anything yet and I don't know if Orsen got the part either. I have to call him."
Recently, before William Shockley left for Russia to film a new movie, Joe, Kirsten, and William went to a screening of the Johnny Cash movie . "I loved it, the movie is great. It's definitely going to be up for an Academy Award. James Keach produced the movie.
Before we hung up, Joe added, "I hope everyone enjoys the show. I will have to call my mom and let her know it is on tonight."

Hi All!
Thank you for all my birthday wishes,
I had a great birthday. I spent it with the family. We had a lot of fun.
I haven't been on any auditions lately but the episode of "Missing" I did for Lifetime TV will be on in January. I will let Judy know when anything new comes up. I also got to see a preliminary cut of "Bloodsuckers" and it looks good. It is still in production, all the effects still have to be added, and the name may change.
Everyone have a safe and Happy Holiday!Love,
Joe, Kirsten, Jack,
Christian, and Kate
July 10, 2004
Hi to all my fans!
First off, Happy Fourth to everybody.
I got a gig on "Summerland," on the WB, and I hope to do with this part what William did with "Hank" on Dr. Quinn. Judy has the details in the news section.
Thanks everyone who sent their birthday greetings to the kids, I'll keep checking back with Christian all month to see what everyone has to say on that "Miscellaneous" page.
I am also in talks with "General Hospital" and "The Young and the Restless" and I will let everyone know what's going on with that.
I was out in the sun all day yesterday and got sunburned. I hope I can tan before I start shooting.
I'm waiting here for Anne Marie and Peter, they are bringing their new baby "Jake." And Matthew Hastings should be here soon. He's the creator of "Higher Ground."I watched the video Judy made of the dinner I had with some of my fans and it was lots of fun to see. I'm glad everyone had such a great time.
Thanks for everyone's support and being respectful of my family's privacy. Keep checking back here for any news I have, I'll make sure Judy gets it.
Love,
Joe, Kirsten, Jack,
Christian, and Kate

Happy New Year to All
I just spoke to Joe and he asked me to share some things with his fans.
Joe asked me to wish all his fans a Happy New Year and he hopes everyone had a great holiday season.
The kids are all doing great and Kate is just about ready to start walking.
He and Kirsten want to thank everyone who sent their birthday best wishes.
Joe and Jane did some commentary recently on "For Better or Worse," for the Third Season DVD release of Dr. Quinn. He said that they did it at Jane's in-house studio, with Jane in the loop booth, with headphones on, and he was sitting in their theatre, and they had fun. They also did a little question and answer thing with the producer, but not together. Joe is going to New Zealand in February, looking for some land and some work. If he finds anything, they are going to try and move around April or May.
He has also agreed to do a chat before he goes to New Zealand and after he returns. So check out the details for the next chat Joe will have with his fans on the Joe Lando Web Page. It will be Friday, January 16, 2004. The details are on the News Update page.
Hope to see everyone there. Bye for now!
Sept 2, 2003
Hi, All,
Joe just called and said I could share some of our conversation with his fans.
The family is doing great and Kate is beautiful and he will try and get pictures out to me shortly so I can share them with everyone on the site.
Today was Jack's first day of school and he took him and they had a great time. He goes in the morning and Joe hung around for about an hour.
He and Kirsten have sold their old house but are not moved into the new home yet. They are renting a place while they continue to renovate, which is a 12-hour-a-day job right now, which leaves him very little time to think about work.
Kirsten and Joe have gotten hooked on one of the reality shows, on Fox, "Paradise Hotel," but that's the only one they watch. He's working on a few things but really hasn't been concentrating much on his career lately.
Joe should be calling me back either today or tomorrow, and I will see if I can find out anything more for all of you.
Bye for now!
May 23, 2003
Hi, Everyone,
Joe asked me to post this for all his fans:
He wants everyone to know he is living through a "tornado of activity," but no work. He said, "Business here is dead."
He just bought an old house to fix it up and become more a part of the design of the house. The home they are currently living in, they really didn't do anything to it. So this new house, when they are done, will be better suited for the family and they are very busy with that right now.
Joe wants us all to know that Kirsten, Jack, Christian, and Kate are all doing well. He hasn't had a chance to get any pictures out to anyone yet, not even his folks, and as soon as he's able, he will give us some pictures of the family. He also stated that they don't even have a picture of the family as a whole yet.
Unhappily, Joe believes, "TV is at an all-time low" with this reality craze. Until people stop "prostituting themselves" and stop taking part in this "manufactured" reality, there won't be much work around. So he'll just have to wait it out until everyone is ready for some new comedies and drama.
I say: Let's hope that that will be very soon for all our sakes!!

Hello Everyone,
Joe asked me to post this for all his fans:
"THE BABY HAS LANDED"
On Thursday, April 3, 2003, at 2:46 p.m., weighing in at 8 pounds, and 20 inches long,
KATE ELIZABETH LANDO came to join the family.
Love,
Joe, Kirsten, Jack,
Christian, and Kate
March 5, 2003
Dear Fans,,
I have been very busy with a lot of things and I am sorry that it is so long between posts. I hope you all liked "Counterstrike." Personally, I think the one I did in Vermont was better but you all can decide.
I enjoyed working up in Canada again but was glad to get home to Kirsten and the boys.
I know a lot of you are hearing that I went up to Montreal to film a new movie but that is not true. I turned it down because I would have been away for the baby's birth.
I have been on a lot of different auditions for TV shows and pilots and this week I will be directing a small commercial for a friend of mine and so I am looking forward to that.
Kirsten is doing fine and she is really big. We have another month to go but, from the looks of her, she may not go that long. We are excited awaiting the birth of the new Lando.
Jack is getting big and is growing a lot and Christian doesn't seem to be getting taller but has a ton of hair. Everything is very good for us
I would like to let you know that I will be doing a chat with Judy on Thursday, March 13th, and Judy will post the time. I am looking forward to hearing from you and we hope you are all well.
Thank you for all your support and wonderful loyalty.
Love to all,
Joe, Kirsten,
Jack, and Christian

Hello Everyone,
I am sorry there has been such a long time between communications. The only good thing about that is that I feel I have more to share with you.
We hope that all of you had a wonderful Christmas and a safe New Year. We did Christmas at our home this year with all the parents. We had a great Christmas and were happy to be able to spend it with all the family. Toward the end we all got sick and are now slowly recovering from it. My parents are back home with their colds now.
I will be leaving in ten days for three weeks to do a movie called "The Devil Winds." It is similar to the movie "Twister"; I am a storm chaser!!!
On March 2, TBS will air "Counterstrike" (Attack on the Queen). I will be doing some promotion work before it airs.
Pax will air "Killer Flood." I am not certain when but I will try and find out. It would be nice to do the promotion work for that one as well, at the same time, but we will see.
I also finished a thing for the Travel Channel about the ranch and they are editing it now. I will find out when it will air, if I can.
The boys are great and growing up fast. Jack and I are taking karate together and we are loving it. Kirsten is feeling great and she is big now. She is in her seventh month but I don't know that she will go to her due date. The baby is moving all over the place and is very active.
Well, that's all the news for now. I will let you know how the shoot goes and about the movie when I return. Thank you all for your love and support.
I would also like to thank Judy so much for all the great things she does with the web site and the fun birthday and holiday things that were done throughout the year. As always, thank you, Judy, for your devotion to keeping me out there.
Love,
Joe, Kirsten, Jack,
Christian, and Baby Lando
October 23, 2002
Hello everyone,
I am sorry that I have been so absent but I have been off shooting a movie. I want to update you on my comings and goings.
The shoot went great and I am so happy to be home; I missed Kirsten and the boys.
I have been auditioning for different things and will let you know if I get anything.
Well, the biggest news from our household is that Kirsten and I are expecting another baby in April. We are very excited and I will be sharing further events as they come along.
I hope all of you are all doing fine.
Love,
Joe, Kirsten,
Jack, and Christian
September 2, 2002
Joe is on location for "Flood Zone" and says that the movie is about an architect (played by Joe) who designs a dam. When the builder builds it, after a while it starts to fall apart due to shortcuts and the whole town is threatened. The builder blames Joe's character for a bad design and now the whole town is after him to save them!!!!
He said he can't tell us anymore but there are lots of twists.
Kirsten and the boys did not go with him. Joe wanted to check it out before they came, if at all, due to the location. After hearing where it was, he thought it would be too much for her and the boys.
Joe will continue to keep us informed as to what is going on, so hang in there.
July 25, 2002
Dear Fans,
Kirsten and I and the boys just came back from a houseboat trip, along with Danny Bonaduce and his family, and we had great fun. It was a lot of work with the boat but very much fun.
I have been offered a movie shooting in September. I am in the process of reading the script and will let you know if I am going to do it.
I hope you all have been having a great summer. The boys are big and we celebrated Christian's birthday on the boat trip.
I feel so lucky to have been able to be with the boys as much as I have been. I guess this was the reason why work went the way it did. I expect that things will pick up very soon.
Love,
Joe, Kirsten,
Jack & Christian
July 2, 2002
Dear Fans,
I am sorry I have not posted for a while but I have been very busy. I have gotten a new agent and have been on a lot of interviews and auditions. If any of them pan out, I will let you all know.
Thank you for all the information you all have sent about projects coming up. I have given the information to my agent and he will be looking into them.
The boys are great and so is Kirsten. We had a family gathering for Jack's birthday and will do the same for Christian's.
Kirsten and I and the boys will be going on a houseboat trip for a week this month, unless of course I should get called for something that I have auditioned for.
I hope you all have a safe and fun summer and a safe 4th of July.
Love,
Joe, Kirsten, Jack, and Christian
June 1, 2002
Hello Everyone,
I am sorry that I have not posted anything for a while. I have been pretty busy but I am taking a break to write to all of you.
Well, in April we had the DQ Times dinner and I had a dinner of my JC people the Thursday before the DQ Times dinner. I had such a great time with all of you who came and it was really nice to be able to sit and talk one-on-one without anyone saying "We need you on the set"!!!
The dinner on Friday was really nice but it didn't have the personal feel that I shared with all of you on Thursday. I still had a good time and it was nice to see everyone again and catch up.
I went to my sister's and went to my nephew's wedding. Kirsten and the boys stayed home. We felt it would be too long of a trip for all to go in the car.
Kirsten and I spent the weekend away on our anniversary and left both boys for the first time. We had a great time but we did miss the boys. It was almost like we broke our routine of being with the kids all the time that we weren't sure what to do first.
For Jack's birthday, we will be going to the wine country. Since he doesn't want to have a party but loves to go on road trips, that's what we will do.
There is no new news on the job front but I am looking into the Paul Newman movie that I have been hearing about from all of you. I will let you know if anything comes from it.
Thank you for all your support and for your continued loyalty.
love,
Joe, Kirsten,
Jack, and Christian

Hello Everyone,
Sorry I have been silent for so long but I am still not working yet. I have gone on some auditions. The one part that I did want I lost out to my very good friend. I will keep plugging away but, until then, I am enjoying the boys and our new home. We have had our run of sickness but we are all well right now.
The boys are getting big. I had Jana take pictures this weekend and she will get them to Judy for the web site.
I want you all to know that I want to be back on the screen as much as I hear all of you want me there. If there is any breaking news, I will be sure to get it to Judy as soon as possible. I will be talking with Judy about doing another chat soon. I hope all of you are well and I will talk to you soon.
Love,
Joe, Kirsten, and the Boys
December 21, 2001
Hello Everyone,
Kirsten and I and the boys are back from our month-long trip and we had a great time. Our Thanksgiving was really special, being with family and seeing Kathy's granddaughter (seems strange to think of my sister as a grandma).
We celebrated my big 40th birthday and Kirsten had a party for me. It was really great and I guess turning 40 isn't all that bad. I would like to thank everyone for the birthday wishes and a very special thank you to Judy for the wonderful job she did on the web site for the holidays and my birthday; it was fun and we all got a kick out of it.
I am hoping that after the first of the year that work will open up and that I will be employed again. I have heard (via the web) that the movie I did down under has changed its name and it said that the release date will be 2003. I cannot confirm or deny this. They have not contacted me except to give me some pictures from the movie. I can only hope that they don't wait that long but I have no say either way. For now, we will enjoy the holidays and bring in the new year and wish for a better year.
Kirsten and I and the boys want to wish all of you a wonderful Christmas and a very safe new year. I also would like to personally thank all of you for all you do for me all year long and for always being there to give your support to my family and me.
Merry Christmas!
Love,
Joe, Kirsten, and the Boys
November 19, 2001
Hi, Everyone.
Well, Kirsten and I and the boys are off on another road trip,
this time to Chicago to see my sister and her daughter's new baby.
We are very excited to see her. We will spend Thanksgiving there
and be back the first part of December. We really wanted to be
around family during this time.
Kirsten and I and the boys wish all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Love,
Joe, Kirsten,
Jack, and Christian
September 6, 2001
Dear Fans,
Kirsten and I have returned from our trip and we had a great time.
The boys were good and we loved our time together.
I will be setting up a chat with Judy soon. I will look forward to
spending a little time with all of you.
Thanks,
Joe
August 20, 2001
My Dear Fans,
Kirsten and I want to thank all of you for the cards and gifts sent to
Christian and Jack; they were so great.
Kirsten and I and the boys are going on a road trip on the 24th to Aspen
and we are really looking forward to it. After I return, I will be starting to
look into working, although I have had fun being at home with Kirsten and
the boys.
I want to thank you all again.
Love,
Joe, Kirsten, and the Boys

Dear Fans,
I would like to tell you how sad Kirsten and I are about the passing of Carol. She was a wonderful lady and was very devoted to the website. I appreciate so much all that she has done for me in allowing me to keep in touch with all of you. Carol will always be in our hearts.
Our Prayers go out to Dave and the Children. Kirsten and I will be making a donation to the Children's Fund in hopes that it will help them.
I have been kept informed of all the great things all of you have done for Carol and the family and all I can say is that it doesn't surprise me. You are all so wonderful and I thank you.
Love,
The Lando Family

Dear Fans,
I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate all that you have done for me and my family during our hard times these past months.
My mom is doing great and is home living like nothing ever happened. They have resumed life as normal. She was so grateful for all the love and support and all the wonderful cards she received from all of you. She was overwhelmed with the outpouring from everyone.
Well, our next event is our baby and we are very excited about the birth. Jana will let you know right away when the baby arrives.
Thank you again.
Love,
Joe & Kirsten

December 10, 1998
Right now, Joe is busy working on a children's series called "Cindy" (the adventures of Cinderella's daughter). The series consists of 13 episodes and Joe is in 9 of these episodes. He plays the part of King Gregory, a pompous, absent-minded, but good-hearted husband to Cinderella. All 13 episodes, which also star Adam West (Batman) and Shirley Jones (the Patridge Family), are being filmed in one week. Even if the series is picked up, Joe (by his own choice) will not become part of the regular cast. This is not the project he mentioned in a previous message which he was planning to do with PAX TV.
As he was working on his birthday, Joe, Kirsten, and friends celebrated by going out to dinner the evening before and then having cake and champagne on the set at work on Dec. 9. Jack is flourishing. He has two teeth and is already standing against the furniture. As far as the DQ movie is concerned, all Joe has heard so far is rumors. Joe is overwhelmed by the amount of fan mail which continues to arrive and is going to need help to work through it all. I think he's really grateful for all the support he's received from fans over the last few months. He even talked about doing a chat, so I promised to see what I could find out about setting one up. His hair (for those who are interested) is the longest it's been since it was cut and he has a beard similar to Mel Gibson in Hamlet. I asked for a photo and I'll try to keep reminidng him! He had to rush off to go to work, but I'm sure if he hadn't, he would have wished us all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

From October 9 to October 21, Joe is going to be filming two episodes of JAG but he doesn't know when they'll be shown. While he's filming JAG, he's going to be interviewed by ET or Access Hollywood but, again, he doesn't know which dates or when they'll air either but he'll let us know, but keep those VCR's ready, just in case!
