January 8, 2011 - Chicago Parent - Joe Lando rekindles his famous 'Dr. Quinn' chemistry in Hallmark's 'Perfectly Prudence'
Former Chicagoan Joe Lando might be most recognized for playing Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman's Byron Sully, but after tonight's highly anticipated Perfectly Prudence premiere on the Hallmark Channel (8 p.m. ET/PT), we'll see him channel some chauvinistic acting chops (ahem, at first) as Jack Jameson, Prudence McIntyre's (played by Jane Seymour) handsome producer.
The movie is a sequel to the highly rated 2008 Hallmark Channel Original Movie, Dear Prudence.
Joe was kind enough to join me for a laid-back second interview full of laughs (read the first interview here), to talk about being reunited with Jane Seymour, rekindling their famous on-screen chemistry, and the projects he has in the works. ► Read More

January 8, 2011 - Chicago Parent - Jane Seymour Revisits Joe Lando Romance in Hallmark Channel's 'Perfectly Prudence'
It's no secret that Jane Seymour is one Hollywood's most iconic and dynamic actors, and tonight at 9 p.m. ET/PT, she'll star in Hallmark Channel's highly anticipated premiere of Perfectly Prudence.
Filmed almost entirely at a Grand Rapids-area home once owned by the co-founder of Amway, Seymour plays a British Martha Stewart type asked to make changes to her successful television show. Naturally, she's resistant to the idea and concocts a plan to keep her show "a good thing."
The movie is a sequel to her highly rated 2008 Hallmark Channel Original Movie, Dear Prudence.
Real-life husband James Keach and daughter Katie Flynn co-star alongside Seymour, as does her former Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman flame, Joe Lando, giving the movie a uniquely intimate feel.
She was kind enough to join me for a second interview (read the first interview here) to talk about Mackinaw Island, a real-life romance with Joe Lando, and how she finds balance in her busy family life. ► Read More

EXCERPT:
Steve found that mindset to be totally different on his next project, Perfectly Prudence. The Hallmark movie stars Jane Seymour and Joe Lando, known to many fans as Dr. Quinn and Sully from “Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman.” Steve was selected to be a stand-in for Joe Lando and the other three male actors, which meant that they had to wear the same color of clothes, have a similar hair style, etc. Once the actors did a run through of the scene, he and the female stand-in had to do the scene exactly as the actors did, with all the nuances, so that the film crew could adjust the lighting, shadows, etc.
“They would then call the actors back in and Joe Lando would high five me and say, ‘Good job, Steve,’” he recalled. “Those actors were much more accessible.” He said they were all on a first name basis, and took lunch together. “I was sitting next to Jane and she was asking how many kids I had, that kind of stuff.”
They were shooting in a house in Ada, and about five days into the shoot, they told him to change his shirt—they needed a camera man for a scene. “So I got to do a little more,” he said. Although it was not a speaking role, he did get some face time on the screen. “It was kind of surreal,” he said, “watching and knowing I did all of those things, or that I’m just off screen.”
