Patrick Levis is "Least of These"

I have to say. Patrick, throughout So Weird and these ten years gone by, had to grow on me. I don't know if the innocence of his demeanor, playing Donny Osmond, or if it was his antagonist views as "Jack Phillips" on So Weird, that were what made me cold to him initially. As much as I love the show, and as much I care for him and his health, career, and life, I am forcing myself to surround myself with Patrick Levis to be inspired to write this. I have been listening to his beautiful Christian songs, watching various clips and commercials via YouTube, and even with this taste of laziness I feel, I can't fail to mention that it was a two year old and Patrick Levis on Nick Jr.'s "The Fresh Beat Band" that inspired this entire So Weird inspired fan PAGE! It helped me to remember what it felt like to watch So Weird. To see the characters. To hear them. To crave to listen to that great music. The music that touches deep inside of you if you let it. And listening to Patrick's band "Least of These", I came to a realization that he has the same power over me as Alexz Johnson or Mackenzie Phillips. He's an amazing actor with quite a large filmography. He's intelligent, dedicated, and very beautiful.

Listen to his great band, "Least of These" on their Myspace HERE
Or visit the "Least of These" Official Website. 
Buy their first album "Only Begun". It is really amazing and beautiful if you're into Christian stuff. They don't have a music video that I could find, otherwise, I would have posted it!


 Least of These are Patrick Levis, his younger sister Caitie Levis, brother Joe Levis, Rick Horio, and Keith Smith. 
Here's the band's bio from their site: "Least of These is a progressive folk pop band based out of Southern California. They are a group of Christians with a desire to use the talents God has given them to play good, quality music. The band members came together to perform for fun at a local college campus in the early part of 2004, and since then have been consistently playing coffee houses, churches, schools, and other venues in the Los Angeles area. Beautiful piano and keyboard melodies, groovin' drum beats, rhythmic bass and acoustic guitar progressions, and tight vocal harmonies meet fun, thought-provoking lyrics to make for a wonderfully entertaining blend of music."


Patrick Levis got his start in commercials. Here's a Captain Crunch commercials from like '96 or '97. It would be a crime for any So Weird lover to have never seen this, so here ya go. It's very entertaining.



Jack Phillips


Not many people know this, but in the show So Weird, Jack Phillips  was actually suppose to be a reincarnated knight.
 
The episode "The Rock" was supposed to be a major hint toward this in the original third season, if Annie had never been introduced...





Here's Mackenzie Phillips as "Molly Phillips" singing her song The Rock with many scenes of the Phillips family hall. These scenes were intended to be spoilers for the third season that greatly involved Jack, Fi, and Rick's characters.
These facts have been confirmed via one of the shows Exec Producers, and who is also a friend of mine, Jon Cooksey.
You can read all about it HERE.
I can't believe this site has survived this long. All of the fanfiction for the original season is so good. I have it all printed and bound like a book. Thank you Staples.

Eric Lively is such a PEACH~

If you want the SCOOP on ALL things Eric Lively. You HAVE to check out his #1 fansite: Eric Lively Fan!

Photo by: Tatiana Botton

Eric has been a busy guy since his endeavors on So Weird. His role as "Carey Bell" was so amazing, in my opinion, no one else could have done any better. His place in this cast is so special to me. I love him. And who would have thought that his sister would be world renowned by now? 
Eric Lively's filmography (along with the rest of the cast) is very extensive.
"Born on July 31, 1981 in Atlanta as, Eric Lawrence Lively was raised in Tarzana, CA in a show business family. His father Ernie was an actor and later on also a director, his mother Elaine worked as a talent agent. All of his four siblings, Blake, Lori, Robin and Jason have been or still are in the entertainment industry..."<- click to go to his bio.

He recently wrapped up 24: Redemption, a television film he did as a prequel to the last season of the show. He also played P!NK's love interest in her music video:
"Please Don't Leave Me"

What ever happened to Cara Delizia?

Cara Delizia. Every time I think of Cara Delizia, I can't forget the feelings she roused in me during her run on So Weird. I've seen a few things via Youtube that she's done, but I haven't really kept up with her. Most of this post is all news to me, and over all pretty exciting as far as I'm concerned. Most reading this are probably Alexz Johnson followers no doubt, and for a while, I felt almost like a traitor for taking Alexz's side at first back in 2001. When Cara's character, "Fiona Phillips" was announced to be leaving the show. I was upset. So upset. But of course life ran it's course and Alexz voice/songs from So Weird were what really fueled my drive for her. But Cara lies not forgotten. I've always made collages and tried to keep her face around in my life even though So Weird was no longer available. Now, it's time for all of us So Weird fans to peer into her career since her So Weird days.

Apparently, according to her Wikipedia,
"DeLizia became engaged to Robert Chambers in 2001. The couple married in 2004 and lived in Burbank, California. In 2006, the couple divorced.
In December 2009, she married Nick Rich" She now goes by the name Cara Delizia Rich according to her Facebook page.

I hope she's living happily. It is also believed that she had her first son about a year ago.
I did not want to post the photo of her beautiful baby, because I felt it would be infringing upon her personal life. 

Cara has also posted a "Photostream" of some of her photography via Flickr. It is unknown if she enjoys photography, or if these are pieces for a school project. Beautiful stuff though.


Cara's acted in over 110 different acting projects. She's been acting since 1992 with her debut in Literary Visions. She really got a break in '95, starring in over 24 episodes of Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher.

You can catch the rest of the episode by following the link to YouTube!
Cara Delizia recently however embarked as an Executive Producer for the short drama MERCENARY.

And just for kicks. I thought that this was so cute:

So Weird Current Cast Projects: My Promise

We all remember So Weird from the Disney channel from 1999-2001. It was a very sci-fi influenced "X-File"-esque show for teens and young adults. The show had some very adult themes that were supposed to see even darker themes before Disney stepped in after the second season and "re-vamped, re-colored, -and re-introduced" the show with it's third season. Alot has happened since the show has been cancelled. Fans have witnessed the cultural change in the Disney Channels TV shows. The shows writers and creaters have moved on all together. But most of all, the show is still in the casts shadow, and they talk about it often... and ofcourse have done exceptional things with their careers since their So Weird days.

Briefly~ I will be breaking down the casts, and often, people associated with the show's current projects in life as of late and yet. So that the cast doesn't die to us. Because we we're fans of the show, and thus: fans of the cast. I follow Alexz Johnson furvently! I do for the other cast as well. Just don't broadcast it! I hope you all enjoy this blog! It's for you as much as it's for me! I need to do this!
