All-American Teenagers in Pursuit of Pseudospirits

By DAVE KEHR

Published: March 26, 2004

Packed with extensive and expensive digital effects, "Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed" appears to represent Warner Brothers' effort to produce a homegrown rival to its wildly successful, feverishly Anglophilic "Harry Potter" franchise. Adapted (like the first film, released in 2002) from a short-lived (1969 to 1972) Saturday morning cartoon series produced by the Hanna-Barbera factory, "Scooby-Doo 2" features a gang of all-American teenagers (played by actors well into their 20's) whose mascot is the semitalking, computer-generated dog Scooby. Their mission: to battle the seemingly supernatural apparitions that constantly beset the back-lot town of Coolsville.

Where "Harry Potter" offended some conservative Christians with its apparent endorsement of witchcraft and sorcery, "Scooby-Doo" threatens to do the same by steadfastly denying the existence of any transcendent dimension. In the strictly secular-humanist world of "Scooby-Doo," there are no real ghosts, but only humans desperate for attention who disguise themselves as supernatural figures. The episodes end with a ritual unmasking, in which a feared apparition - like the Pterodactyl Ghost, the Black Knight Ghost, Captain Cutler's Ghost and the 10,000-Volt Ghost - is revealed as a mewling fraud.

All of the above pseudospirits are back for "Scooby-Doo 2," which begins with a tribute to the ghost-busting gang - handsome Fred (Freddie Prinze Jr.), perky Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar), brainy Velma (Linda Cardellini) and spacey Shaggy (Matthew Lillard) - at the Coolsonian Criminology Museum. On display are the ghost costumes captured from various miscreants, which suddenly come to life on the orders of a mysterious masked figure who appears in the exhibition hall and seriously poops the party. It's time for our friends, who call themselves Mystery Inc., to strike back and reclaim their damaged reputations.

Who is the mysterious masked figure? Among the suspects are the guest stars Seth Green, Peter Boyle, Tim Blake Nelson and Alicia Silverstone, all of whom seem to have signed up for a maximum of two days' work.

"Scooby-Doo 2," which opens today nationwide, is, like its predecessor, directed by Raja Gosnell, a protégé of and former film editor for Chris Columbus, who made the first two "Harry Potter" films. Mr. Gosnell does his best to recreate the Potter blend of mild spookiness and kiddie comedy, but the material just is not as psychologically rich as J. K. Rowling's shrewd combination of adolescent self-pity and violent revenge fantasy.

"Scooby-Doo 2" looks like a Saturday morning cartoon (the characters all wear color-coded costumes) and unfortunately feels like one, too, with its thin characterizations, largely arbitrary action and feeble jokes. (A few flatulence gags, probably too tasteless for television, have been added to the theatrical version.) Kids will find "Scooby-Doo 2" a place holder at best, a way of staving off impatience while waiting for "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," to be released on June 4.

"Scooby-Doo 2" is rated PG (Parental guidance suggested) for some dimly frightening situations, some gross humor and at least one covert drug reference. (Keep your nose out of those aerosol cans, Shaggy!)

Directed by Raja Gosnell

PG, 91 minutes

Scooby Doo 2 Review

From www.buffy.nu:

Bigger, but not better

It is loaded with expensive CGI set-pieces, but this sequel only makes you long for the Gang's good old animation days on TV instead

By Ong Sor Fern

SCOOBY DOO 2: MONSTERS UNLEASHED (PG)

95 minutes

Opens tomorrow

SCRIPTWRITERS, WHERE ARE YOU? : CGI Can't Get It right, so the cast (from left) Gellar, Prinze, Lilliard and Cardellini have to fend for themselves. THIS movie presents an interesting conundrum for movie critics.

To judge Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed as an actual movie is unfair, since it is no more than a string of expensive CGI set-pieces set to instantly disposable pop music.

Yet, the presence of live actors, a big budget and a 95-minute running time seeks to convince one that this, indeed, is a feature movie.

Given the number of critically-drubbed animation-turned-into-live action features, including the first Scooby Doo, one would have thought a sequel would be moot.

Yet here we are confronted once again with the sight of a real-life Fred (Freddie Prinze Jr), Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Velma (Linda Cardellini) and Shaggy (Matthew Lilliard) interacting with a 1.8m-tall computer-generated Scooby (voiced by Neil Fanning).

The good news: This sequel actually has a skeletal plot that makes - barely - coherent linkages from one frenetic set-piece to the next.

It has something to do with the appearance of a new villain in Coolsville, who has invented a dastardly machine to re-animate old villains from the Scooby gang's past.

The script attempts character development.

So Velma gets a nerdy suitor in the form of museum curator Patrick (Seth Green, Gellar's Buffy The Vampire Slayer alumnus who really deserves better than this).

Shaggy gets insecure about his goofiness and vows to become a more useful member of the Gang. And Fred gets an attack of introspection that lasts all of one minute.

If you are under six years old, the antics of an animated cartoon come to expensive three-dimensional life will probably prove thrilling.

Beyond that demographic, the viewer will probably marvel at how live action can be flatter than two-dimensional drawings.

It would not be such a bad thing if this were not such a totally, shameless exercise in mercenary money-making.

Every action set-piece, with dizzying roller-coaster scenery zipping past, looks like a theme park/Xbox game in the making.

One full-length musical number dropped into the middle of the action is designed to showcase the determinedly radio-friendly hit-and-run single.

The bombastic CGI only makes one long for the uncomplicated, cheap animation of the cartoon.

The presence of a decent cast of actors only serves to show up the abysmal pointlessness of it all.

Lilliard, with his rubbery lankiness and gurgling voice, was born to play Shaggy and he imbues the character with enough goofy charm to be endearing.

Gellar's Daphne is a diluted version of her spunky Buffy persona. When Daphne utters at one point, 'Quick, we need to think of a comeback' but manages only a 'Hey, shut up!', one cannot help but wish one is in the presence of that other much better-scripted Scooby gang from the TV show.

By the time the Velvet Teddy Bear himself, Reuben Studdard, shows up for his musical cameo, it is evident that this pre-engineered piece of pop piffle has long passed its sell-by date.
 
Can Scooby Doo Two Top Original ?

Can Scooby Doo Two Top Original ?
From The-Numbers.com - By C.S.Strowbridge - 2004-03-28th


Can Scooby Doo Two Top Original? Four movies open wide this weekend, or maybe it would be more accurate to say one and three halves as only one film opens in more than 1,600 theatres. This makes the race for top spot not so tough to predict, but the rest of the top ten is wide open. The three smaller openings are hoping for strong word of mouth, but as last week’s soft debut for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind tells us, that’s a risky bet.

Scooby Doo surprised analysts opening with more than $50 million, but then it dropped fast and had poor legs. That makes the market for Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed a little suspect. A year earlier another film, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider had a similar box office, and it’s sequel was one of the biggest box office disappointments of 2003. Will Scooby Doo 2 suffer the same fate? It probably won’t be as extreme, but a big drop is in store for the franchise. Look for $30 million, and with reviews that are even weaker than the originals, look for less legs at the box office.

Given its genre, Dawn of the Dead is almost guaranteed to lose more than half its box office this week. But given its strong reviews, it won’t be much more. Look for $13 million this weekend and a sequel sometime in 2005 - 2006.

For the first time in its run, The Passion of the Christ is losing theatres; granted it’s less than 100. Halving topped $300 million during the week, Passions should earn another $12 million this weekend.

The three other new releases will all have great difficulty making an impact at the box office.

Tom Hanks is a huge star who is currently riding a seven-movie $100 million streak. Unfortunately, that streak is about to come to an end. The Ladykillers would have to more than double The Coen Brothers’ best effort so far. And it will have to do it opening in just 1,583 theatres, and to the worst reviews in Tom Hanks’ career since Bonfire of the Vanities. It should, on the other hand, earn $11 million this weekend and have enough legs to top $50 million.

I’ll admit right up front that I’m a big Kevin Smith fan, so I’m hoping Jersey Girl does well. However, his films work best when he cares less about the potential box office and more about telling a story his way. His weakest film to date, Mallrats, was an obvious attempt to cash in financially on the critical acclaim Clerks had earned. I said his weakest film to date because Jersey Girl is earning the worst reviews of his career (but second best this weekend). This may be because this film has none of the edge Kevin Smith is best known for (it is his first PG-13 movie). Look for $7.5 million this weekend and about $20 million overall.

The last film on the list, Never Die Alone, opens in less than 1,200 theatres, but with focused marketing it should have a stronger per theatre average than it would otherwise muster. Also hurting its chances are its reviews, currently sitting at only 36% positive they don’t suggest the positive word of mouth this film needs to succeed. It should have a similar box office to Jersey Girl with $7 million opening and slightly better legs.

Also worth noting, three movies have sneak peaks this weekend. Hellboy plays in New York and Los Angeles on Friday, Walking Tall plays in roughly 750 theatres on Saturday while The Prince and Me has its sneak peak Saturday and Sunday.

I plan on going to see the film sometime soon. But I heard that it wasn't as good as the orignal. I never believe critics until I see the films for myself though. I'm sure it's a cute film and worth checking out with SMG in it and all.
 
Fans report about SD2 premiere in LA: story + pics

Fans who met her in LA during the SD premiere.

Story + Pics they took



Josh:
Well, a large, black, SUV drove right past us (the street was closed off, thankfully"¦), made a u-turn and stopped right in front of the red carpet. We realized it was Sarah and Freddie because the press got really excited. Sarah stepped out of her car, and immediately bypassed the red carpet and started crossing the street. She gave a few waves to the crowd, and went over to the barricades. The six of us started freaking out, we could actually SEE Sarah"¦ She was right there. We were taking pictures and trying to get camera footage. We weren't really expecting anything. Some of us were getting shoved against the barricades because everyone behind us started pushing to get to Sarah. She signed for a few kids at the beginning of the line, then signed for four kids dressed as the Scooby gang. She bypassed a group of the people in the crowd, and came right up to our group. She focused right on me, probably because I was smack dab in the middle. I just stared in awe, and went, "Sarah! Will you sign my shirt?" so she asked "Does anybody have a Sharpie?" It was then that we pulled out the magical, wonderful, FIVE DOLLAR green marker. She proceeded to sign my shirt, (Sarah Michelle,) as photographers were all around, photographing it. I babbled out how I was the Fred on TRL, and my friend with me had been Daphne. She looked up at me and went, "That's right! I remember! I remember that!" She was signing Nancy's shirt then, and I went, "I came from Boston, would you mind taking a picture with me?" And she complied very happily. I then thanked her and told her I loved her. Kieu was next in line, someone pushed into her and it seemed like she was going to fall over the barricade. Sarah went, "Careful! Don't fall!" She started signing Kieu's shirt, and apologized for it being messy but said "its better that way!", so she started signing her initials instead of her full name. Karen and Genesis had been standing in the crowd, completely stuck. Jonelle noticed that they were stuck on the other side and Sarah was going to be moved down the line. Karen went, "Dammit, I guess she's gone"¦" so Jonelle went, "No she's not!" and pushed Karen and Gen up front. Sarah told Karen something along the lines of "Come here" and she said "Okay" then held up her shirt front so Sarah could sign. During all this, Sarah made a comment about our t-shirts, something along the lines of "you guys spent a lot of time on these huh?" And we all answered her "YES!" Gen's shirt was next to be signed, and Karen's now reads something along the lines of "SMc" or "SMa""¦ It depends on how you're looking at it. Sarah was trying to get to Jonelle, but she couldn't push through completely so Sarah went, "Just give me and arm, or something!" (Jonelle's tee-shirt's arm now bears "SMG" or rather "SMg".)

Genish:
Sarah handed the (FIVE DOLLAR!) marker back to Karen, and we all screamed out our complete success at getting Sarah's attention. We were all very composed when Sarah was with us, but when she moved away, we broke down. I wasn't expecting Sarah to reach me, I was not expecting anything but to have the chance to see her from afar and support her. When Sarah moved away"¦ everything slowed. I looked around unbelieving and everything literally came crashing down "“ this was real. Josh turned around to see Nancy crying, and then to me, bawling "“ overwhelmed and completely and utterly in shock/awe. This then caused a chain reaction as the six of us stood there in tears. We all basically suffocated each other with enormous hugs: trying to calm the other down and in happiness. Everybody was very excited for us. (Well, almost everyone"¦ Those in the back were mauling us with their eyes. But they weren't the ones up since 6 A.M. with 3 hours of sleep!)

buttercup:
So after that ordeal, Sarah signed for very few people after us, and went to the press line. Matt was signing for a few kids up front, and Freddie did as well. Gen, Nancy, J etc. started calling to Freddie. He turned toward us while in the press line and gave a great big wave. We started jumping up and down and screaming. I believe the wave was caught on tape. We followed Sarah and Freddie through the press line - following their feet, which were the only things that were really viewable through the tiny gaps between posters. We would call out Sarah's name, but we didn't want to be rude so we would stop for periods of time, and then when she was closer to the largest gap, we were told to call her name again. She was still being interviewed, so we waited until she had finished talking (because we're such well-mannered children lol). The second she stopped talking, our whole group, (which did include more than the six of us,) screamed out her name. We were holding two of our signs up, one overhead and one against the barricade. Sarah turned to us (which again caused pandemonium behind us - video camera footage got a bit shaky at this point. It's hilarious.), smiled and waved with one hand, then waved with both hands to us. She was grinning, and then shielded her eyes to read our signs. She pointed to us, laughing, and gave us thumbs up. She held both index fingers up (as in "number one"), then responded to us very enthusiastically, which was really fun to see. (This will later be researched as to what we THINK she may have said, seeing as everything has been caught on video. We were trying to figure it out while still together, but it was too difficult.) She tapped her friend to have the signs be read by her, and her friend laughed with her. After waving, she then left the press line and went inside. Meanwhile, we were still in awe/shock. I am currently still in shock. Did all that really happen?

kieuber:
After the premiere, we went around to the side of the theater and waited near the exit, in hopes of getting more pictures. Everyone was all split up because we didn't know where the exit was. We just stood where we saw black cars. Karen and myself were helping this lady with leg problems so we got split up with the group. I acutally massaged this woman's leg while karen held her up. We're such friggin saints. This "lady" had to sit down so i was there with her while karen went back to the place behind the concert area to wait, because there was a buttload of cars parked there. Then i saw about 7 security guards come out of the concert area that the "lady" and i were infront of, so i called them over (thank god for cellphones). There, Seth gave us a wave, as did Linda, Alicia, James Gunn, and Matt responded to our sign by saying he "liked the way" we thought. Sarah and Freddie had apparently left early, so there was no sign of them, but the day was incredible, and none of us will ever forget it.

Janna23:
Sorry in advance for all of the tags, their placement and the small size of each photo. These are all precautions and hopefully deterrents against theft of my photos. I'm pretty proud of them and have chosen some of the best of the bunch to share with you all.

Once again here's my story (and I'll probably come back later to supplement it on what it was like to watch those crazy kids see Sarah)"¦

Let's see, well I arrived at about 8am Saturday morning knowing that the set-up for a premiere would attract all kinds of attention and that people who really are just willing to watch any event would line up and take all the good spaces. I spoke to a couple security guards and they assured me that the only place to get any pics or to be able to see anything was across the street. So, I chose my place based on being able to see the event longest...seeing them get out of their cars...walk thru the endless front red carpet area that had all of those lovely posters and advertisement for the charity that was involved with the event that you all see in the posed photos...and then finally on the side of the carpet that we could still see them on before they rounded the corner into the press pit. My friends were all running late with several important personal things having unfortunately landed on the same day. But, I held their space thru many hours of annoying people trying to push themselves in with the help of some other friends that just happened to be there too.

Now there are many fun moments to talk about regarding this premiere but I know what you all want to hear and that's about Sarah, so I will give you the details on my experience and mine alone. Sadly, my digital was fated to die the day before the event, but I borrowed my friend's video camera and I had two still cameras. Before you all ask, I probably won't be sharing the video...I don't see it as something that everyone and their brother should be able to download and I'm sorry in advance. But I will share a few of my photos with smgfan.com and the Hostess and I will make sure they are appropriately emblazoned with all the necessary credits.

So, the SUV carrying Sarah and Freddie pulled up...I recognized the bodyguard worked for her a lot on locations in the front seat and knew it was them. Then Sarah made her way across the street and pandemonium ensued. Suddenly new people were next to me that had pushed my friends right out of the way...let's just say there was a lot of rude people that thought that they had just as much of a right to see Sarah as those of us that had waited the entire morning, afternoon and years of being great fans. I brought my photo of Sarah and I and prepared for her arrival. I was shaking so much that I'm surprised I was able to say anything or take photos, but shockingly I did. Sarah came over to me, looked at my photo and realized it was me, seemed to scrutinize herself in the photo and signed it...I said, "Hi Sarah...How are you?" and she said, "I'm well thank you...how are you?" and she smiled for a photo, a gorgeous close-up photo with such a sweet smile that I adore and all of my friends adore too. I believe this will be the main photo that I share with all of you when I get around to scanning the photos. Then Sarah made her way past me and to the rest of the line of people...who I'm sure will all have stories for you also.

I will let the others fill you all in on the rest...you must have patience, because good things come to those who wait. Sarah has proved that to me quite a few times, including Saturday.

Thank you Sarah for making so many people so happy all at once. You are just too fabulous.

Back for another Scooby Snack Apr 2 2004

Western Mail Reporter, The Western Mail

The world's most famous cartoon sleuths got a live action makeover for the big screen in 2002. Now the Great Dane and his super crew have returned to make Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. ROB DRISCOLL teams up with the Mystery Inc heroes

Sarah Michelle Gellar plays Daphne

"Scooby Doo 2 is a stronger movie, the characters have more depth"

You'd think that starring as Buffy the Vampire Slayer on the small screen might have prepared Sarah Michelle Gellar more than adequately for her action-packed combat scenes in Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.

But the 26-year-old's extensive martial arts experience from seven seasons of slaying sinister creatures on the world-conquering TV series counted for nothing when it came to her Scooby character Daphne's valiant sword fight with the Black Knight Ghost.

"Everyone thinks my fight with the Black Knight Ghost must have been so easy because of all my Buffy training, but if anything it's actually harder," says Gellar, who has a brown belt in Tae Kwon Do.

"I'm trained as a fighter but not a sword fighter. So to have to forget everything and just be Daphne up against this imposing enemy was a lot harder, considering it was very choreographed."

When one of the most popular children's TV animation series of all time made the tricky journey to celluloid two years ago, Hollywood insiders were sceptical.

But Scooby Doo: The Movie went on to reap an astonishing $275m worldwide, paving a way for a sequel which had the luxury of inventing a more spectacular adventure as well as investing more in the heroic quartet's character development.

"When you do one of these movies for the first time, the first 30 or 40 minutes is all about presenting the characters," says Gellar, who co-stars for the second time with her real-life husband Freddie Prinze Jr (he plays leader of the Mystery Inc. gang Fred).

"Scooby Doo 2 is a stronger movie, while the characters have more depth."

In the new movie, the crime-busting, ghost-hunting foursome have skyrocketed their way to superstar celebrity status in their home-town of Coolsville, USA.

In honour of their skills in solving all things mysterious, the gang is honoured at a red carpet affair at the Coolsonian Criminology Museum, where the costumes of all the creepy villains they have unmasked over the years are being exhibited for the first time.

Unfortunately, somebody with a serious grudge against the gang wants to take the costumes down and soon our heroes find themselves up against an anonymous masked villain with a monster machine that re-creates classic Mystery Inc. foes like the Pterodactyl Ghost, The Black Knight Ghost, Captain Cutler's Ghost and the 10,000 Volt Ghost.

Working with her husband of two years on the Scooby Doo movies was the cream on the cake for Gellar.

"I always say any chance I get to work with talented actors I will take it, and he was the best," she says. "I don't think I'd do it in a situation where it was about us."

It's been nearly a year since the final series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer wrapped. Yet for Gellar, she still feels like she's in a mourning period.

"In all truthfulness I don't know if the enormity of it has actually hit me.

"We finished Buffy on April 16, and I started on Scooby Doo 2 on April 17.

"After completing the movie I thought I'd decompress a little and take stock to comprehend, and then I was home for a little bit, but then I left for Tokyo for another film project and it seems like I keep putting off dealing with it. But I will deal with it!"

Matthew Lillard plays Shaggy

"The leap of faith was much smaller on Scooby Doo 2"

There's one very important critic that Matthew Lillard took along to the Los Angeles premiere of Scooby Doo 2 the other week; his 20-month-old daughter Addison.

And before you think she might be just a little young to appreciate the finer points of daddy's performance as the eternally scared but goofily loveable Norville "Shaggy" Rogers alongside his canine companion Scooby Doo, think again.

"Addison was born the weekend that the first Scooby Doo movie opened in America, so that was the greatest weekend that anybody could have asked for," enthuses 34-year-old Lillard.

"And now, the first movie I ever took Addison to was Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.

"She's grown up with Scooby Doo stuff in the house.

"I was over here in Britain for five months doing a play and before I left they had this big cut-out of Shaggy that was put near my hotel room, and she went up to the sign and went, 'Daggy?' It was pretty cute - it broke my heart."

Lillard, still fondly remembered for his star-making role as a hyper-kinetic teen serial killer in cult comedy-horror Scream, is in many ways the true lead turn of the Scooby Doo movies.

"I guess Shaggy and Scooby are the heart and soul of the gang," he smiles. "One of the things that makes Shaggy and Scooby so appealing is that they're not superheroes. They're always scared and they're always hungry. There's a little bit of that in all of us."

Of all the actors on the set, Lillard knows best what it's been like acting opposite a non-existent dog.

All the footage involving the computer-generated Scooby was added well after the players had shot their scenes - but Lillard is fast becoming used to running with his imagination.

"The leap of faith was much smaller on Scooby Doo 2. The first time around, we didn't know how they'd make Scooby - would he look like a real dog? And it changed all the time too. It turns out the animators upstaged me at every single chance! I still think it's the most difficult thing you can ask an actor to do.

"Acting is all about the energy between two people, the exchange, and comic timing."

Luckily for Lillard, actor Neil Fanning invoked the spirit of the ravenous Great Dane and delivered Scooby's dialogue to provide emotional cues for all of the cast.

"I couldn't have done it without Neil," says Lillard. "He was on set every day, and at least I had his voice to work with; that was invaluable."

In preparation for the extensive amount of comedy-based action that is required of ultra laid-back power eater Shaggy, Lillard turned to one of the masters.

"I watched a lot of Charlie Chaplin movies, and studied his whole style of physical comedy. I think that really helped my physical timing."

But one of the hazards of dedicating himself to the role so doggedly became evident this time around.

"Playing Shaggy twice now, I notice there's a part of me that brings him home from work," says Lillard. "I find my voice continually breaks and I'll raise my pitch an octave when I make a joke. But I generally don't speak to the air, which is what I did on set all day!"

Linda Cardellini plays Velma

"You never know when your next job's coming"

Meet Linda Cardellini in the flesh and you'd never believe this is the girl who plays frumpy brainbox Velma in Scooby Doo 2.

The actress is blonde, svelte and sexy - words which wouldn't apply to the bespectacled, brunette, polo neck-wearing intellectual she plays on screen.

So when Velma starts falling in love - with like-minded museum curator Patrick Wisely (Seth Green) - and decides to woo him with an image makeover by squeezing into a tight red cat-suit, 29-year-old Cardellini had her work cut out.

"That cat-suit was hot," she says. "And by that I mean physically hot, not sexy!

"Velma jumps to the conclusion that Patrick likes her because he thinks she's a mysterious jet-set adventurer, so with the help of the more image-conscious Daphne, she transforms herself into this glamorous Bond girl.

"Quite a few times when I was wearing that cat suit, I had to take a break, because I was sweltering!

"But it was a lot of fun, because it was so out of character for Velma and any of the awkwardness I felt wearing it was perfect for Velma's character."

These days Cardellini's star is shining, as she recently landed a major new role on the world's most famous TV drama series, ER, as Nurse Samantha Taggart, a character yet to be seen by British viewers.

Commitments to ER's filming schedule mean that Cardellini's career on small and big screen requires a great deal of juggling.

"Basically the only time I have free from ER is in the summer, so that's the time I get a chance to do whatever I want - whether it be a break, or make a movie," says Cardellini.

"In this business, you never know when your next job's coming and if you're having a lucky streak you've got to enjoy it while you can.

"My role on ER is one of the best roles I've ever had. Samantha is a single working mother, who's also an excellent nurse, and she's tough and independent. I was reading so many scripts, and I really didn't come across anything that I liked as much as my role in ER. "Meanwhile, it's great that I have something like Scooby Doo which could not be more different from what I do on ER."
