It looks like all 22 episodes of John Woo's "Once A Thief" series from a few
years ago will be shown in many areas of the US starting this Fall (alas, NOT in
mine - grrrrrr). I've been in contact with a gentleman from the distribution
company via e-mail, so I believe this is on the up-and-up. However, I have NOT
heard this from Greg (who may not know). The gentleman said if it did well,
there's a chance of new episodes, although I'm not sure that'd be possible with
so many of those involved now doing other projects.

Greg, hisselfishness, appeared as the recurring character of Mr. Murphy, a
rather regal assassin (The anti-Screed).

I do have a complete list of all the areas it will be shown, but will have to
wait until this weekend and try to convert it to a file I can repost here.
Meanwhile, here's the press release:

Sergei – “Jack and Jill,” “Touched By An Angel,” “Dangerous
Minds”) and Li Ann Tsei (Sandrine Holt – “Black Robe,” “New York
Undercover,” “The Outer Limits”), both in their mid-twenties, now use
their expertise to fight crime in North America. Working with a former cop,
Victor Mansfield (Nicholas Lea – “The X Files,” “The Commish,”

forces. Complicating their relationship is an ongoing sexual tension among the
three operatives.

October Moon Television.
