“30 Minutes Or Less”

ANTHONY EDWARDS: AN OFFER HE COULDN’T RESIST

#anthonyedwards #janetcharlton

When California born Anthony Edwards left his role as Dr Mark Greene on the hit series “E.R.” after 10 years in 2002, he was financially set for life, and really didn’t need to work again. His wife, make up artist Jeanine Lobell, built up her Stila makeup line and sold it to Estee Lauder for a rumored twenty million dollars. Anthony and Jeanine raised their four children on the east coast in the New York area and according to his friends, money is not an issue. When Anthony was approached to star in the new series Zero Hour he told producers he’d only consider doing it if they shot the series in New York, close to home. Imagine his surprise when they agreed to shoot in NY. He was flattered and took the part. The series looks rather ponderous and melodramatic in the trailer, but it’s nice to see Anthony again.

JESSE EISENBERG MIGHT BE DELIVERING YOUR PIZZA

A friend of ours was indulging in a 1500 calorie slice of deep dish pizza at Gino’s East in Chicago when he sensed a stir and an elevation in the noise level. Actors Jesse Eisenberg and Aziz Ansari walked through the restaurant joyfully handing out breadsticks and pizza slices, followed by a photographer. It turns out the pair are visiting pizza places all over the US, promoting their new movie “30 Minutes or Less.” It’s a comedy about two fledgling criminals who kidnap a pizza delivery guy and force him to commit a crime. A woman at Gino’s told Jesse Eisenberg she was grateful to him for developing Facebook and he gently informed her that he just played Mark Zuckerberg in the movie. The actors posed for photos with everyone.
