Airing tonight on the cable net TNT at 8 p.m. (EST) is the new miniseries "Into the West." Alan plays Nathan Wheeler, brother of the main character Jacob Wheeler (Matthew Settle).

According to the Into the West site, he's on in tonight's first episode, "Wheel to the Stars," wherein Nathan and Jacob leave Virginia and hope to join up with mountain man Jedediah Smith on his expedition to California.

And if you miss it tonight, TNT will be airing repeats every Saturday and Sunday night throughout the run of the series.

However, if you're expecting lots of Alan goodness - I just read an interview with Alan where he said they cut down his role so much they gave him the option of not taking it. So, he's probably not in it much.

Ah well, a little Alan is still good :)

Thanks for the reminder. I forgot that started tonight. I'll have to set my VCR to record.

A little bit of Alan is worth more than a lot of a few other actors I can think of. Hayden Christensen, for instance.

Makes me wish I still had cable. This will probably come out on dvd though, so let me know if it's good, then I'll just buy it.

In addition to Alan, I believe that Christian Kane (Lindsey on "Angel") is also going to be in this show. I don't know anything about his part or how much he's going to be in it, but he's someone else to be looking for.

I just found a huge ad for the movie in the TVGuide that listed like 10-20 actors in the movie. Christian Kane was shown (with weird, braided hair) but not Alan Tudyk! I seriously think his part's going to be tiny. In the interview Gonzai mentioned, I think he said he's just there for a bit then he disappears for the entire movie.

* And about Hayden Christensen, he's a good actor. Just watch his other, non Star Wars works. I mean, Lucas even made Natalie Portman and Liam Neeson turn in horrible performances.

Christian's playing a half breed, the son of the main character, so I'd guess he has a bigger part than Alan! Throw in Sean Astin and Matthew Modine, and I'm set.

Alan's part just finished. He's in the first 30 minutes of the first episode. I don't think he makes another appearance.
