I was looking for some autographed pictures of Lindsay on eBay, but
couldn't find any. Has she put any out there?

Best of luck to you Lindsay! You were hysterical (per usual!) on My
Name is Earl! You'll get your own show someday, and then membership in
this group will be through the roof! Hope to see you on TV soon!

Hi Everyone!

The thing I hear most from everyone who writes is how they think I should be on
a show
as a series regular. I so agree! I mean that is one of my biggest goals and let
me just tell
you how difficult that can be! This pilot season has blown in like a whimper for
the young,
character types. The pickin's are VERY slim so I was really excited to audition
for ONE last
week. I know the Producers from a Showtime show I had done a few years back. The
part
was perfect for me. They wanted to test me! That means bring me to the studio
suits and
network suits to audition. Then if those lovely people want me, I get a series
regular gig!
We waited a whole week for my deal to come through. Then last night I got the
call that
they did not have enough money in the budget to make this role a series regular.
So, they
were knocking it down to a Guest Star for the episode. I still have a shot at
it. I have to go
in for a "chemistry test" this afternoon with the guy who has already been cast
as one of
the leads. But the disappointment of not being able to go after a series regular
role is with
me right now. This is the second time in my career this has happened. They do
not value
character roles in Television. They are always the first to get cut or knocked
down. I wish I
knew how to get a toe in the door in order to start changing this. It's
extremely frustrating
and I feel like I'm always hitting my head against a wall when it comes to this
process.

I decided to post so y'all could see a part of the process. A little bit of all
the turmoil that
is constantly happening beneath the surface. I also went in for a different
pilot yesterday.
It's for a recurring Guest Star. I ask everyone to send some good thoughts my
way. Instead
of wallowing in my own self pity, I've decided to rally! I just say "it's going
to happen, it's
going to happen". In some way, that feels better than "life sucks, life sucks".
LOL!

Here is to hoping something pulls through this season. Odds say it will not
happen. That's
why most actors are superstitious and NEVER tell anyone about the stuff they are
up for. I
know why. It kills you to say, "I didn't get it". But this time I'm letting
y'all know so send
out some good energy for me into the universe, if you will :)

Lindsay

I wanted to say thanks to Jowy for the nice new pics on the main page, awesome!
Also,
thanks to those who've been responding and posting. It's fun having a discussion
in here...at
least for me anyway! I'm in the middle of a move (sucks!) so I'm off for
now....keep those
questions coming if you have them :)

Lindsay

I can't pick one favorite. I liked them all, because they are all so close to my
life. Nanette and Laurie come to mind right away though, mainly because I cried
after those two.

I do remember that I first got your name after your episode of Popular, though
that is not by any means my favorite character. I loved that show (and Tammy is
from my hometown and went to my HS, which is a big deal when you live in the
middle of nowhere :-D).

Jowy

Hi and thanks for another great question :)

Yes, I was teased all through school. I think Jr. High was just about the height
of terror for
a fat girl. I'm still not sure how I made it through those years!  When I was
cast in my first
play as a sophmore in high school, a lot changed. It was a comedy and I made the
students laugh. This gave them a reason to have a little respect for me. So, I
would say
that the character of Christine Banks in Boston Public would most resemble my
life. For
those that didn't watch the show, I played an overweight girl who starts beating
up kids in
school for teasing her. The wrestling coach helps her focus this strength in the
wrestling
ring. She goes on to be very successful at this and stand up against those who
call her
names. Most kids either become introverted or defensive when they are labeled as
outcasts for their size, looks, etc. I was sassy! I would always run my mouth
and defend
myself with sarcasm. I've never let anyone get away with insulting me. I just
don't believe
in that.
Most favorite role would have to be Christine Banks because I was able to play
her for four
episodes and it was my first job in this town. I have such great memories of
that set and
cast. I still remember the way the sound stage smelled when I first walked in. A
close
second would be Nanette Babcock. I loved playing her from sweet and hopeful to
desperate and crazy!
Least fav role would have to be Margie in Strong Medicine. I just didn't do a
good job with
her.

A question for the group: What is your favorite character ?

Love,
L.

I've been big my whole life and I tell you what, I can
SO identify with Lindsay's character Agnes on the
episode of Law & Order: SVU. If I were a student in
school nowadays, I think I would have pulled a
Columbine on the kids that picked on me in highschool.
I regret not getting into acting in highschool and
drama classes, but because the kids all teased me
about how big I was, I really wasn't as outgoing as I
am now.  That's why I'm hoping to get into acting and
hope to be half as successful as Lindsay. Hollywood
and NY needs more of us big beautiful women.

Hi again
           i was wondering this time is did you ever feel that your
roles on tv resembled your life eg did you get teased when you where
younger.  Also did you have a favorite and least favorite role. keep
up the good work and dont let hollywood change you one bit.
                                                             Daiji

Hi My Same Named Friend~
I get this question a lot from people outside of major cities. It's hard because
there aren't
many choices. But get in an acting class for sure. Acting is like any other art
(singing,
architecture, music) you can't JUST do it. Training, training and more training.
I still take
acting class once a week. You have to learn the basics, develop your technique
then keep
practicing it every day. A person wouldn't just jump in and design a skyscrapper
for New
York city. A lot of people come to LA thinking they can do just that with
acting.

Bottom line (I tend to repeat myself) Take classes. As many as you can in your
area. Then
see how you feel. Is it right for you? Cause trust me..... This is so much
harder than it
looks :)

Let me know how it goes!

Lindsay,
I want to get into acting, and I know I have to start
somewhere, but I'm not sure where. I live in a small
town near Harrisburg Pa, and we don't have much in
acting classes around here. Being that I have
absolutely no acting experience at all, not even high
school,  what would you recommend? Should I jump right
in and audition for any plays in my area or should I
perhaps spend the $200 for classes so I know what I'm
doing?

Or maybe I can pay you for acting classes ? :-D

i tried to email you this proposal but i guess your busy on your
screen play thatsa cool anyway:


my interest hiring her to play a role: is to hire LindsayHollister
[plus 50% of all said project mechindising ect]my offer to her: 5
hundred to 2 thousand per hour or episode depending on her, all
expence paid and a house while filming and 10%-20% to the agent and

webpage {and what i have seen of her on tv and films} she is
perfect. {all will be done around her schedule and at her discretion
[remember i came asking for her for the role the ball as they say is
in her court]



the show:  {his coming [intro] history[memory sequence] and outward
redemption [fights and i mean fight his own friends for redemption]
It is an original extra-ordinary, stupendously amazing, unique
{never been done before [or attempted]} show. It will revolutionize
and forever change the face and format of television. It will exceed
and transcend all expectations, thoughts and beliefs. The show,
itself, transcends emotion; it will dwell in your mind and stick in
your heart, forever {an inevitable talk of the town. it will hit you
with truth, heal you with humor, pull at the heart-strings, force
you into action and leave you wanting more. in essence it is a show
of the like you have never seen. filled to the rim with love and for
women empowering all the way. for a world still underestimation its
power and potential, it will be a long anticipated breathe of fresh
air. give me and the show a chance and we'll prove it. the show will
with out question, be worth your wild. I can prove it. Ask and I
will tell you all you need to know about the show.


Anyway, why do I ask you; because that fact of the matter is that
you might like it? I have been a fan of your since i could remember.
And I believe in you and the show. In the final analysis, taking it
all into consideration, it is all up to you.

Peter~

To answer your concerns...

A. When I'm not working, I'm writing on the computer. When I can't think of how
to further
the screenplay I'm working on, checking my e-mail helps (I think I have a minor
case of ADD)
B. This group has been around for several years and I never took the time to get
personally
involved with it. I decided the other day to do so. I love the people that take
the time to write
me personal e-mails (I will be sending you one, you skeptic you) so I thought
that getting a
group discussion going in here would be fun! Right?
C. No one else was writing so why not me? lol!

That's the deal. I posted personal pictures from the set of My Name Is Earl and
one with Jamie
Fox from a holiday party at Mekhi Phifer's house (he directed me in a movie I
did last
summer. I play a dominatrix, grrrr!), if that doesn't convince you then...dang,
you Candians
are
tough!

Loves,

Lindsay

Because here in Ontario.  We don't base things on what is on the
outside, it's what's inside that matters the most.  But hey in your
case the outside and the inside shines like no other.

I've never done this before, but with a busy schedule that you have.
I am some what a bit skeptical, that THE Lindsay Hollister is able to
respond back to not only my e-mail, but to the numerous of other e-
mails from all her other fans spend to this site.

So I'm goingot leave my personal hotmail e-mail address
(n_boy41@...), so you yourself can respond directly back to
me.  In order for us to discuss how life is different from the states
and ontario, how fuller figured women are treated/viewed/adored
different from the states and ontario.

I am well aware that you constantly get this kind of request from all
your different fans and everything.  But I am far from a
stalker/rapist/fanatic.  All I am is a handsome black man north of
the border that is a president of a bbw admirer group in ontario.
Plus like I said on the previous post that I am fan of your north of
the border.  That's never been on a site like this ever, and I find
it hard to believe that with an incredible actresses schedule that
she can actually find the time to reply back to any of her fans
questions no matter how big or small they maybe.

Hope to get a reply from you at your earliest.

Peter

I think that is FANTASTIC. Wondering why I don't live in Ontario.....lol! THANK
YOU Peter
for such a beautiful post. You totally made my day!

Lindsay

Hi my name is peter and I'm just here to say that not only is lindsay
loved, adorded and respected for not only her breathe taking beauty,
and incredible talent in the states, but north of the border as well.

I'm just hoping that as she receives more opportunies to be on great
shows like (C.S.I, Cold Case, My name is Earl, Nip/Tuck and the show
that even though it isn't on anymore, but it was the show that got me
first started to being here biggest fan north of the border, and
which gave not only myself, but millions of other people just how
beautiful and great of an actresses she is on Boston Public).

She is the most versatile actress out there right now.  From all the
different characters that she has been able to protray.  Either as a
suductress trying ot get out of a parking violation, to an
emotionally unstable woman that just wants her looks to be just
right.  Lidsay doesn't deserve to just be a face in the crowd, or
just be in the show for a few moments at a time.  What she derserves
is her own show, or her own movie where as she can display all the
ranges that she has so far in her previous endevours.  But to show
more of herself, and various different ranges that she has not been
given the proper chances to show what she can really do.

So just as long as she is so far given scripts that shows different
emothions on all the top shows.  But if all the writers, show
executives, and other people that are in control of programming that
gave Sara Rue (she is a different topic at a different time all
together, but of course I'm just joking with what I just said).  If
those same people that gave her a chance with her own show, just
think what lindsay can do, if she was given that same show or at
least the same opportunity for a show similar to that.  Then not only
with her current adoring fans have an opportunity to she her on
television on a more consistant basis, but the rest of the world
would be able to see and find out for themselves what we as fans
already know.

That without a shadow of a doubt, and without any hesitation.  That
Lindsay Hollistor is Hollywood Best Kept Secret.

Just keep up the good work

On a side note.  Not only myself but a few friends of mine join
together and write scripts specifically with the main character as a
full figure woman, and how real and ordinary men (well north of the
border, I have no clue what things are like in the states.  But here
in ontario.  The majority of the relationships that you see are with
bigger women and slimmer men).  And wehn me and my friends get
together we discuss how are relationships are like and put then on
paper, and we get either are firends or friends of friends and act
out the scripts that we write about.

Basically they are sitcoms, and even romantic love stories solely
based on our experiences.  Showing how "normal" people interact with
one another.  In each story/episode/movie the main characters are a
bigger woman and a slimmer man.  That's just how mine and alot of
other men I've grown up with, and met lives not mostly focused on
(because we do have lives and make a good living.........lol). but
that's what are lives north of the border have been about.

Now what do yo think about that.

Hey Daiji~

First, thank you for being a fan and for your question! This has been the thorn
in the side
of my career, the idea of always playing the "fat character".  This is a giant
double edge
sword. On one hand, I've been given the opportunity to play some amazing
characters on
Television. On the other hand, because I can't leave and take off a fat suit, it
does hit a
little close to home. Unfortunately, this industry has been built on
stereotypes. These are
the roles that have been presented to me. Writers rarely write roles for large
people that
are just "normal". Or roles where the weight isn't a major part of the story
line. Casting
directors and producers don't always think outside of the box.

There have been a few exeptions in my career. My part in My Name Is Earl had
nothing to
do with weight. So did my roles in a Hallmark movie called McBride and a
Showtime show I
did, Going to California. Joan of Arcadia had nothing to do with size (i was
god!). But those
haven't been my high profile roles. Most people know me from Nip/Tuck, L & O:
SVU,
Boston Public, and Cold Case. I have to say that those characters did have the
common
thread of being overweight, but I feel like each one was different. Different
personalites.
Different journeys through life.

Bottom line: I'd love to just play a part where the word "fat" isn't mentioned.
I'm working
my way into Hollywood in order to change that. Till then I just CAN'T turn down
amazing
Guest Leads like "Cold Case" (most recent). They just don't write large Guest
Stars anymore
for anyone who isn't a "name". I have to jump on those roles so people can see
me do
more than just a scene or two. And I want to work!

I'm not alone. A lot of my friends in this industry complain about always going
out for the
"girl in a bikini" or the "nerds". I'm sure Pamela Anderson would like to not
always play the
bimbo :) My friend, Eric, has Guest Starred on every major show out there. He
always ends
up playing the killer. Ah, we all have our crosses to bear!

Till that perfect role comes my way, I might have to play a fat girl or two. BUT
I have
turned down roles that are degrading. That's not worth it. I hope that when
people watch
the shows I've done, they see how horrible our prejudice towards people of size
is. How it
needs to end. I've received letters from all over the world from people who are
able to
relate to my characters. That keeps me going. That makes it worth it :)

What do you think?

Hey Everyone!

Thought you'd like a post that doesn't have anything to do with webcams or
refinancing your
homes! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. 2004 was a busy year! I just had an
episode of My
Name is Earl air, hope y'all caught it! Plus, this Sunday my episode of "Cold
Case" re-airs at
8pm on CBS. It's a big, fabulous dramatic show. The highest rated Cold Case
episode so far!
And I have a website all my own at LindsayHollister.com if you wanna check that
out. It's still
evolving into the site I want it to be but it's a great place to keep updated!

Love and Best Wishes for a Fabulous New Year!!

Lindsay

Hey everyone,

I found a couple cool links that are fun to play
around with. The first is the Internet Movie Database.
It's cool for looking up trivia and stuff:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0391234/

The second is a "star links" tool that you can use to
figure out how actors are connected. Best of all, it's
hosted out of UVA (if I could go back to college,
that's where I'd go). Lindsay has a star-link score of
"2" to Clint Eastwood! Anyway, enjoy:

Hi everyone, it's your mod Jowy. Sorry I haven't been around much
lately, a bit stressed, senior year and all.

Anyway, I was just checking out IMDb and it says that Lindsay is going
to be on Cold Case tomorrow (Oct 2).

If anyone has any other news, please share!

From our friends over at PlusStuff.com

Banned Books Week 2005 is September 24 – October 1 . . .

At PlusStuff, we believe in living fully. Our definition of living
fully includes the freedom of choice. Some folks choose to diet, some
choose not to. We advocate making informed healthy choices, but
realize ultimately you must decide what's best for your mind, body and
spirit. When it comes to feeding your brain, we feel the same way.

Not every movie, TV show or book is to our liking, but we appreciate
that others may find value in choices that do not appeal to us. And we
appreciate that we have the option not view or read things that are
not to our liking. The key word being the "option" or freedom to
choose.

This week is the American Library Association's Banned Books Week

Be naughty, read a book!

Being overweight my whole life I often wondered why
these big name designers didn't tap into the plus size
market considering how much of the US population is
considered over weight, but then I realized why they
never did. It would tarnish their image of supporting
the skin flint bean pole market. Kudos to those
designers who are starting to tap into the plus size
market

"I like big butts and I can not lie . . .

Hmm, lately I find myself humming the old Sir Mix-A-Lot tune every
time I see a beauty ad. Oh, the mighty pendulum seems to be in full
swing. Note to skinny, waif like models – grab a sandwich – Big
Butts are in. Last year J. Lo launched jeans that had room for "junk
in the trunk." This year, Jessica Simpson has launched a plus-size
line. You gotta love it!

The Dove "Real Beauty Campaign" has sparked many a heated debate
about the role of "real women" in advertisements. And now those
voluptuous ladies are featured on the cover of People magazine.
Damn, that song keeps playing in my head – LOL

Wait there's more, Nike has joined the ranks. Its campaign
celebrates women's "big butts, thunder thighs and tomboy knees."
Real women with real bodies- well, it's about time. Looks like Kate
Moss is heading to the unemployment line.

Maybe, women have had enough. Maybe, they are tired are starving
themselves to try look like air-brushed waifs. Maybe, they are tired
of the rollercoaster ride of yo-yo dieting. Maybe, they just want to
keep it real. And for that, we say "AMEN!"
