Update from Jim MacDonald:
The show Vanished was cancelled so they are airing the last two episodes online. I'm the ruthless killer posing as an FBI agent blowing people away. If you scroll 7:00 minutes into the show you'll see me shoot up a police station. I'm in both of the final two episodes 12 and 13 and you can view them at http://creative.myspace.com/VOD/vanished/index.html
I will also be appearing as Wally Denison the fun loving Detective on Criminal Minds (CBS) WEDNESDAY December 13 episode is called "Profiler Profiled" @ 9:00.
I also have a small role in the movie Home Of The Brave that opens up December 15th. I play Jessica Beils small town boyfriend who she wants to dump. As usual I never get the girl. I'm in the middle of filming teh new TV series Stand Off so I'll let you know when you can see me on that.
