I've been out here in LA for a couple of weeks now and had enormous amount of fun. I am shooting a film called The Perfect Host. A young, first time director / writer called Nick Tomnay is in charge, and what a great script he has crafted. David Hyde Pierce, of Frasier fame, plays the main character. It's a thriller with some very clever moments that also has that wonderful, unquantifiable Australian input. Our producer, Stacey Testro, and her husband, Martin, one of the executives are also both Aussie.

There has been a great atmosphere, hard working and thorough, yet with a sense of humour and cooperation. I play an American cop, Detective Morton, which is nice for me as I don't often get the chance to play with an accent. I also sport a little beard. Not what you would call a big budget picture by any means, but I am really please to be a part of it. I think it will be a really inventive piece when it comes out.

The Spirit of Christmas, a carol concert in aid of The Neuromuscular Centre will be held on Friday 28th November 2008 with Nat attending and performing.

Thanks to Leanne who manages the event, I'm able to give you a tad more info.

The charity itself provides a range of unique services and specialist advice with the sole aim of improving the quality of life for adults with neuromuscular conditions. The charity was founded in 1990 and is located in Winsford, Cheshire.

Thank goodness I logged on. As usual I learn more about my career from this site than I do from anywhere else. I didn't realise that the new DVD was coming out, or when Flawless was being released.

I don't know yet if there's a little premiere of any sort, but if there is I hope its a few days before. I have a carol concert I am doing in Chester Cathedral on the evening of the 28th November. If anyone is around then they are more than welcome to come and join in. It's a beautiful cathedral, and the event is organised by Sarah and Matthew Kelly. I look forward to that.

I am also off to Latvia for a few days of filming on a wonderful piece called Miss Irina's Children. This is a very moving and extraordinary film with Anna Pacquin in the lead. I think it should be a gripping film. Not a huge part for me, but I couldn't say no to it. I am huge fan of her. I should have some more news about another project very soon, fingers crossed.
