Another post reported. What you choose to expose your own kids to and what other people choose to expose their kids to are obviously two entirely different things. You have no right to make that choice for other, more responsible parents. And YouTube is not this board. YouTube is not a family-oriented website and doesn't claim to be. Reported. I am hoping they delete this entire thread.

My kids watch You Tube too. They are 37 and 32 Years old. If they were little kids I would not have shown them this board.

My kids are 27, 25 and 19. I don't know what the registration age is for the USA boards. I'd be interesting in knowing what it is.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't recall any age given for membership. My 17 year old is on the board, although she doesn't want anyone to know that she's my daughter, for some reason. And I know by the language and expressions of some other posts that there are teens and kids younger than that.

OK, Heres the thing, all I wanted to originally know was if any of you knew if Ted had any new projects going on, movies TV, etc. I didnt mean to start world war 3 here I think he is a wonderful actor and am sorry this thread took on a kind of mean streak. I guess it is "A Jungle Out There "


Come on, I'll buy you a wipe.

With nothing new on his imdb page and MONK currently in production, I guess Ted doesn't have anything new in the works ... Whoever edits his imdb page is usually prompt in getting his projects posted, so I'd say that's your best source for new projects.

Ted's page @ IMDB

Then again, there's always the possibility he's taking the summer off ... or participating in the Ojai Playwrights Conference ...

Of course, I should do a little google searching before I post ... there's a rumor that Ted has signed on to do the 4th Fast & the Furious that's due out in the Summer of 2009 ...

~~ Tami

Thank you for the replies Tami. I belong to IMDB also but never find much info there. Sometimes word of mouth gets out before the official news does.

Yes, the rumour about Teddy reprising his role TFTF4 is also being reported on my Yahoo Ted Levine board.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Any Ted is better than no Ted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL! A jungle in here too!

Make sure the wipes have aloe, okay?

Do you have a link for that Yahoo TL board ?

Try that, you might have to join the group, though.

Thank you, I will check it out

I really enjoy Ted Levine's character, I would love to see him in more Monk episodes, but would love to see something new as well. Also, as a person, what are his likes and dislikes as theater and tv goes? Is he based on the West or East coast?

Hi Melody! Welcome!

I was at a Museum of TV and Radio "seminar" for MONK a few years ago and Ted did say that when he watches TV, it's usually the Discover Channel. When the band Novillero appeared in the Rock Concert episode, Ted had lunch with the band one day and they blogged about it on their MySpace blog; Ted mentioned that one of his favorite songs is "HEROES" by David Bowie ...

Ted lives in Southern California (Ventura County) ... he and his family had llamas as pets at one time ... I thought that was kind of cool.

TL is a private person, so this is what I've been able to glean off the Ted Levine Yahoo Board and the web. His acting background was theatre and then he progressed to movies and television. He lives in California with his wife. I've also read that back in the day apparently he was quite the hippie guy!

There can never be too much Teddy!

LOL !! I could totally see a younger Ted with long hair and those rose colored granny glasses in his hippie threads with a peace symbol hanging around his neck. Is he old enough to have been a hippie ? wasnt that era like the late 60's -70's (you can tell I wasnt a hippie, ha ) I think he is a couple of years younger than me ( I always thought he was older ) Thanks for giving me that image, it gave me a good laugh and I really needed one today.

He was born in 1957, so he's certainly of that (my) era. Based on what I've read at the Yahoo Board, he was quite the free wheeling hippie guy.

Remember that nipple-piercing in "The Silence of the Lambs"? I understand he had that long before he got the role of Buffalo Bill!

~~ Tami

I never met a hippie with a pierced nipple! LOL! A pierced nipple in the 1970's only meant "swinger"
bi-sexual leather community. While it's not my thing I support his right to any lifestyle he chooses. I know Ted Levine likes his privacy. As long as no one puts an eye out. These things happen. "It puts the lotion on it's skin or it gets the hose again" I still like his acting anyway.

Yup. Based on what I've been able to glean, I have little doubt that our sexy Teddy has quite a colorful past.

Not necessarily. Ted may have had his nipples pierced before SOTL for another acting role.

I'm pretty sure he got that piercing for the heck of it ... Just like Stottlemeyer, I don't think Ted remembers all of the 70's ...

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LIMAMA: I joined that Yahoo link, Thanks. Just when I got on yesterday I got an emergency call and had to leave, but I am going to check it out today. Thanks again.

I will send some aloe wipes your way

No, you cant clean nature with nature !

They have lots of photos and articles about Ted too.

I am going to have to watch SOTL again just to check out Teds role in it , saw it many years ago and bits of it off and on but not enough to remember it. I had a nightmare years ago that Hannibal was after me and was staring at me with that creepy look, I havent been able to watch it since and I think Anthony Hopkins is a wonderful actor but everytime I see him now I get the creeps

I've never seen the entire movie either. Only parts of it here and there. I find movies like that very disturbing and then I can't stop thinking about them.
At this point, I don't want to look at the captain and have 'BB' come to mind- in fact I think SOTL was just on a week or so ago. I remember VERY quickly changing the channel. Yikes!

I agree thats exactly why I am afraid to watch it. I like the Stot image in my mind a lot better
I saw a publicty photo of TL with like a vandyke beard, I am probably wrong about the style because I do not know much about beards , but I thought it looked very nice

Ted looks great with a beard! He looks even better without the toupee, but that's just my opinion. Heck, I'll take him with or without!

Absolutely I like the F+F photos with the hat and beard stubble

Mother of mercy what happened to you ?

Sorry for no advance warning, but I just now see that Flubber is coming on WGN right now (3pm eastern) for anyone interested.

Darn!

I have Mad City coming next in my netflix queue. Anyone seen it? Is Ted bit-parting in this one too or does he have screen time? I have high hopes at this point. I'll post after I've seen it. Fingers crossed.

I will be very interested to read what you thought about Mad City. It was a snorefest for me. I was reclining on a sofa while viewing it and had to re-wind and restart the movie 3 or 4 times to finish it because I dozed off. Ted Levine plays yet another "large and in charge" cop outside a musuem that a recently fired security guard (John Travolta) in trying to regain his job is holding children hostage while a overly competitive career minded investigative reporter Dustin Hoffman wrestles with his limited concience inside. When John Traolta finally blows himself up at the end my only concern was for the museum artifacts and why he waited so long. It's been a couple of years since I suffered thru this movie and I can't remember if Ted Levine wears a toupee in this one but John Travolta definitely does. I hope you enjoyed it more than I did.

Oh damn! I think I saw this movie! rofl. I hate John Travolta. Tony already made me sit through one of his movies with Civil Action, and now Ted's going to drag me kicking and screaming into this one. lol. I'm thinking Ted's gotta be bit-parting in this one too because I don't remember seeing him in it at all. I don't remember hating it but the simple fact I have only a vague recollection of seeing it at all, I guess I didn't love it either. Oh well. I should have it by Monday or Tuesday. I'll post my verdict. rofl. Thanx for posting yours.

Hi

I don´t know if you mantioned this already, sorry if you did, but Ted Levine is fantastically playing the disgusting General "Bloodbath" McGrath in the great Wild Wild West, and also the interesting character General Russel Woodman in the equally interesting movie Evolution. In this last movie, ted appears bald, withou any cap or anything covering his head. I do not remember he appearing at the big screen like this before.

Hugs
Mi

I was just about to post and reccomend this movie! He doesn't play a really nice or 'good' guy but the movie is really funny. And if you get the DVD, watch it with the commentary running, David Duchovney mentions that he kept looking at Ted and couldn't quite place where he knew him from, but when Ted opened his mouth, he scared the crap out of him. Or something to that affect.

My son subjected me to Evolution. lol. It's not my favorite movie but I did remember wishing someone would punch Ted's character in the mouth. I did recognize him in that movie though, and it's one of his better ones.

Wild Wild West is a favorite of mine and I think it didn't catch on because the younger viewers that went to see Will Smith just weren't old enough to remember the TV show. They just didn't get it. I remember walking out of the movie theater and hearing some guy behind me say "What the hell was that?? They didn't have all that stuff back in those days." Well, no, they didn't. But Wild Wild West the TV show wasn't Bonanza or Gunsmoke or Big Valley--that was their hook, all those gadgets.

Wild Wild West the TV show was a hit but not on the scale of those other shows. To do a remake on an old TV show, you better pick one that most people remember or know. A lot of people thought it was just another western. They did a very good job on that movie, in my opinion. If you haven't seen it, catch it. If you have the opportunity to catch an episode or two of the old TV series, try to see it before you see the movie. Then much of what's in the movie will make sense to you. I had no idea that was Ted with all that makeup on--my son picked him out by his voice. I almost brit a shick. rofl.

Added note: Keep in mind we saw Evolution years ago when it first came out, yet my son didn't see SOTL until this year. He didn't know Ted from that movie. Once my son sees an actor in anything, he remembers their voice, uncannily so, and can pick them out on that alone in every other movie he sees, regardless of makeup. It's started many a fight in our home and the little bugger wins every time. If he's never seen an actor but only heard them do a cartoon voiceover, same thing. Drives me up a wall.

WWW worked as a TV show. My brother and I got such a kick out of it!

Ted's voice is very distinctive.

Wanna talk Snore-Fest----
I rented "The Assassination Of Jesse James" because I love newer, realistic westerns--and because TL was in it.
Anywho---I fell asleep b/f TL showed up, and woke up to the last ten minutes.
So------replayed the DVD------------
You got it---Fell asleep in the exact same spot, and missed TL again. *sigh*
I refuse to rent it again.

Meme Stottlebeck

Yes, that movie was a real bore. My husband asked me if I wanted to see it one more time (just for Ted) before we sent it back, and I said no. Not even for TL would I sit through that again!

Damn. I actually liked that movie. rofl. Guess it's all in what you like. Of course, my favorite movie is Jeremiah Johnson so that slow paced western kind of theme falls within my ballpark I guess.

I just saw Evolution last week, I havent rented Jesse James yet maybe I will wait on that one. Darn we need to get this man ( Ted ) like a starring role in a good movie Do any of you think any of the Monk gang will get some kind of TV series offer once the terrible happens and Monk ends ?

I have a TV spinoff in mind for Ted...let's call it a contemporary "McMillan & Wife".

Sounds like it could work ! Are you a writer ? I know there were a couple of people in here that stated they were. I am fairly new here and am just getting to where I remember the people and their statements,etc.
