Roots - starts in the UK on 8th Feb on BBC4

Hey BritGirl!

I am excited to see this. First, great that they are remaking Roots. Second, Matthew, more Matthew... always goode news ;-)

Getting psyched for Downton in January, even though I read every spoiler.

Hey Red

Should be goode. Only for a few episodes I think for his character. The person who played his character last time did 5 ep's.

Of course you know what I am thinking Red - southern american accent. Now where did I put my sturdy knickers...

Matthew with a southern accent..as a gal from NC..can't wait to hear it!

Hey Carri

You will be able to tell us if Matthew's accent is a goode one - and I'm sure if he needs one to one vocal coaching you'd be only too happy to help! xxx

The southern accent will not be my favorite (hate those accents), but heck it's Matthew so easy to overlook.

How come he isn't listed on the cast list of Roots on IMDb? He doesn't have many future projects either. 😧.

I hope this changes soon! I still think The Good Wife was a bad move. The writers are all over the place this season and have no clue how to develop a character. I think their main concern is pleasing their star so she doesn't have to sit in hair and make up too long or do scenes with other actors.

I am sure once America meets Henry Talbot, he will be much in demand!

Trailer, etc. here. Thanks to rosalyn!

Click on 'gallery' for his pics. They've aged Matthew up in some of them - still looking goode.
