I don’t know who would prefer television over film.
The only good thing about TV is it’s a steady pay cheque.
That’s not true, it’s not the only good thing about TV.
But look at me, dude. I just finished a pilot [Hawaii Five-0]. I’m beat. You do 15, 16-hour days every day. You’ve got to churn the work out.
I think film is the most comfortable medium because of the time and the money that’s usually there.

Alex O´Loughlin ~ An Intense Study 
I wish him a very successful movie career. Of actual good movies. He’s had a dearth of those… IMO. 😉

He was born for movies, no doubt – but he’s great at TV too. Some actors just don’t transition so easily. Alex does, because he’s that talented and dedicated.

I would love to see Alex in movies after H50 ends. He could play any character and do it so well.

I love Alex in H5O but I would love seeing him on the big screen!! What a treat that would be!!😍😍

To see Alex on the big screen – wow!! I am still kicking myself for not seeing “The Back-Up Plan” when it was out. That was before I knew who Alex was and I thought the movie looked really cute but never got around to go the theater.

We want him to have a movie career. But is it want he wants in 2017? A steady pay cheque may be more important to him now he has a family.

I fully understand the steady pay cheque thing, and Alex’s responsibility to his family, but he will have to take the plunge if he wants an enduring career, IMO. Eight seasons is enough. I would feel totally different if HF-0 was a better show, that gave Alex story-lines he could sink his teeth into. Lenkov doesn’t even know what to do with Steve, anymore. Alex’s talent is wasted!!
They’re just grinding out episodes, to make the numbers.

Of course, and I do want great movies for him too.He’s an Oscar winner if given the right material. I was just wondering abt his priorities.

Your perspective changes as you grow older and have a family. The good news is that Alex has made a lot of money doing Hawaii Five-O. So, when the show ends he’ll be free to do films if he wants, or do another TV series if he wants to.

Seems to me he already has his priorities right – family first. I’m sure whatever he does next will continue to honor that part of his life.

I really have to LOL at myself! I am worried about this man’s career more than by mine. How is that? Ah yes, it’s Alex we’re talking about.
LikeLiked by 1 person
me too, but he has a lot more talent than I do. My “career” is just a way to keep a paycheck. I can stay where i am for the next 20 years if nothing else comes up. He needs something to keep going after this current ride is over (preferably something that keeps him visible to all of us!).

Hahah, my “career” is like yours, not at all artistic. But I don’t want him to fall into oblivion after H50. He’s too talented for that!

I wonder where FOYeur and Paula are? It’s not like them to go this long without posting something. Are they going to miss Alex’ birthday this week? I hope all is well with both of them. and that they just decided to take some well deserved vacation time.

kathysr, I was just wondering the same. Just a tiny post from them to say they are well would be a relief.

I agree. I’m concerned for their health and well being. There’re a few more recent posts at their Facebook and Instagram sites, but not much is happening there, either. They used to post new photos every day. I sure hope we haven’t lost them forever. Something dreadful must have happened recently for them to cut back so drastically. Or, they’re both just emotionally and physically exhausted from doing this and they need a break. I can’t imagine the abuse they take from obnoxious trolls. The pressures to create new material and maintain this gorgeous site are time consuming and exhausting. And five years is a really long time to give your whole heart to a project. People can just burn out.
FOYeur and Paula,I hope you’re OK. Please take care.

I’m hoping they’re just recharging their batteries. You need that once in a while.
Or they are plotting a big thing for Alex’ birthday.
Miss you FOYeur and Paula, but I am enjoying your insta posts tremendously.

Thanks, kathysr and leiCa. The FB page, with its automatic crazy translation of the texts into Spanish, is absolutely hilarious.

I’ve been wondering if all is ok in their worlds as well. No emails for many days. IMHO, theirs is the most professional and enjoyable, fun AOL website and I would hope that there is enough support from the 1000s of readers to outweigh the obnoxious elements. Please girls, hope you are both ok xxxx

That goes for me too! There certainly is a void not hearing from either one of them. I do hope they are both fine and as mentioned earlier, hopefully they are enjoying some R&R!!
