Vanessa Marano, the sharp and witty actress who brought us Luke’s quirky daughter April, turns 16 today.
Special thanks also go to Vanessa for the great photos she took of the Gilmore Girls set during her time there. Look for them in The Gilmore Girls Companion.
Gilmore Girls fans continue to pay homage to Stars Hollow’s busiest entrepreneur, copyright issues be damned. This week, a humble little mug plugging Kirk’s Town Tours. Here’s the pitch:
You are viewing a new Gilmore Girls mug featuring that quirky character we all love ….. KIRK”S TOWN TOURS! This ceramic mug holds 10 ounces of your favorite beverage. The mug is white with black text and a photo of our beloved Kirk. Great gift for any GG fan!

Oh wait, “approved by the proper authorities.” Never mind that copyright nonsense I was spouting on with earlier. Carry on.
Today, on the eve of next week’s release of Saw V, eBay brings us the many faces of baseball’s Scott Patterson. Note the evolution of Luke’s trademark poker face.

He gets around, our Mr. Gleason.
So here’s a dilemma for you. Let’s say your love for Gilmore Girls is rivaled only by your fond memories of, oh I don’t know, Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Now let’s say you have the good fortune to get Danny Strong on the line, who had great roles on both? Finally, let’s cap your conversation at just 30 minutes. How do you talk to the man behind both Gilmore Girls‘ Doyle and Buffy’s Jonathan in such a short period of time without having your head explode?
Yes, I know — “We should ALL have those kinds of problems, fan boy!”
Still, it was a great honor to speak with such a beloved actor about meeting the real Ben Bradlee, Krav Maga, and the delight of playing opposite both Alexis Bledel and Liza Weil.
Of course Danny’s also riding high on the Emmy-winning Recount, the HBO movie he wrote about the 2000 presidential election debacle.
Isn’t this exactly the type of movie Doyle would’ve written given the chance?
