The End of The Beast

Unfortunately, the news out of Hollywood indicates we will never see a second season of The Beast (see my earlier blog on this program). According to Entertainment Weekly, the program show starring Patrick Swayze and Travis Fimmel did not do as well as the A&E premiere of The Cleaner (a show that has a second season starting this week).

I think it was a great run and we can only hope to see more of both Swayze and Fimmel in the future, both of whom did some terrific acting in this series. While the news has been up and down over the past years concerning Swayze's health as he battles pancreatic cancer, we can only wish him well.

As far as Fimmel, he starred in a 2008 film Restraint and just completed work on a new film called Ivory. A film review at FilmSchoolRejects defines Restraint as "...an excellent thriller, with strong characters, subtle touches, and suspenseful scenes of tension and discovery"
