What is a talent holding deal?


Cynthia, from SF Universe, gives her opinion of Alex O'Loughlin's new contract with CBS. She also explains a bit more about what a "talent holding deal" means. I like her idea for Alex's new show ;> LOVE noir... and we know he is good with that genre.

Alex O’Loughlin Stays with CBS
by Cynthia Boris

A number of sources are reporting that Moonlight’s Alex O’Loughlin has signed a talent holding deal with CBS. What this means is that the network will attempt to develop a new series for Alex and /or cast him in another project. Obviously, the first of the two would be the better option, but fans are saying why not just bring back Moonlight? Since Alex was the show, why bother creating something new when something old will do?

As much as I love Moonlight, I’m happy to see Alex sticking around for another shot at anything on TV. Too often actors get one go of it and that’s the end of that. I could totally handle him as a PI in a 40’s Noir drama, or maybe as a lifeguard in a Baywatch remake (I’m going for the ’shirt off’ aspect.) What ever it is, I hope it’s action packed and I hope its soon.

Alex O'Loughlin on TV Guide's List of Sexiest Sci-Fi Stars


Excellent job, everyone! Alex O'Loughlin is on TV Guide's list of Sexiest Sci-Fi Stars thanks to your comments and support. I guess his unbelievable natural beauty & sensuality had a little to do with it too. ;) Alex is in the number five spot. Who is #1, you ask ~ Jensen Ackles from Supernatual.

The truly wonderful thing is, Moonlight was canceled in May but you continue to keep it & its cast alive and newsworthy!

#5 Alex O'Loughlin (Moonlight)

"He has the longest lashes, gorgeous hair and best facial expressions I've seen. That smile can light a thousand light bulbs. He's a true heartthrob but is so humble about it. That's the sign of a real star." (SonjaMMK)
