| Alert for Stephen Fry fans--he's on "Bones" right now (Fox). I don't know why they don't tell you these things ahead of time... |

Come on, lighten up. Harper's Island is the ultimate in cheese, but it's also a lot of fun. It's Agatha Christie meets Wes Craven, as in And Then There Were None on Friday the 13th. A long wedding celebration on an island, where all the guests start getting murdered, but more gruesomely than Dame Agatha ever dreamed, and...whodunit?
Even the premise is silly, insane, and a hoot: "Let's get married on that island where all those horrible killings took place a few years ago!" |

Get him Repo! The Genetic Opera for Christmas. It's directed by the director of Saws II - IV and is surprisingly good for a musical with intestines. |

I'll second that recommendation. |

It might even send him looking for Hollywood musicals. Of course, that way looms Hello, Dolly, but you also get Chicago. Sweeney Todd and Little Shop Of Horrors (which were stage shows, but so was Repo!.) He may even fall for a musical you can't stand, which is one of the reasons kids were created. |

Just going for what I think is his best known role in the States: He played Peter in the Kenneth Branagh directed Peter's Friends. |

| Fry was the perfect Oscar Wilde (and Jude Law a perfect Bosie) in "Wilde." But it's true, he's much better known in the UK. |

He also played Jeeves to Hugh Laurie's Bertie Wooster on PBS. |

| I'd forgotten that. I knew I had seen him in a recurrent role but never remembered what. He was trimmer then. |

| I may have mentioned before that a friend of mine, when I told him that the star of "House" had once played Bertie Wooster, absolutely refused to believe me. |

| Well, now I undertand better why Hugh Laurie is quoted on the recent paperback Penguin re-issues of Wodehouse. |
