Human Target Premiere Now November 17?

Various sources on Twitter and Facebook are reporting that FOX has moved the Human Target second season premiere - and Tahmoh's episode - to Wednesday, November 17. FOX's Human Target website and schedule still say Friday. I'll update as soon as I read something official.

ETA: Thanks to reader McDaniel for this IGN link to more info on the delayed premiere of Human Target

Early Review of Human Target 2.01

Short post to point you to this early review (beware of spoilers) of Human Target episode 2.01 "Ilsa Pucci", guest starring Tahmoh as "Pete" and described here as Ilsa's "right-hand man." Perhaps the guy in the background of the preview linked here is Tahmoh? Tune in to Fox, October 1 at 8:00 ET/7:00 CT to find out!

Just for fun, this old NPR blog post showed up in my Google Alerts, and I can't figure out if we posted a link to it before. Just in case we missed it, here's Tahmoh - and Joss Whedon - trying to figure out just why Dollhouse was presented at the New York Comic Con in 2009.

"The Hostage" at Beverly Hills Film Festival

According to The Hostage Facebook page:

The Hostage has been accepted to the Beverly Hills film, TV and new media festival. It runs from Oct 21 - 28 in Beverly Hills. Congrats to everyone who helped make the film a success!

Read more about the festival here. We'll post more info here as we get it.

Entertainment Weekly online asked 'Battlestar Galactica' Stars: Where are They Now? and had this to share about Tahmoh. See the full story.

Human Target and FanExpo Vids

Fox has released a teaser for Season 2 of Human Target. Tahmoh appears in the season opener, which premiers October 1 at 8/7 Central. However, the jury is out on whether the security guy lurking in the background of this vid is Tahmoh or not. Check out the video here. It starts after a commercial and introduction by John Francis Daley and David Boreanaz.

Reader Genoka found this video of Tahmoh from Fan Expo.

A Little More from Fan Expo

RGB Filter interviewed Tahmoh at Fan Expo about BSG, Dollhouse, and potential future projects.

Scott Woods had a great time with Tahmoh at Fan Expo. Not only did Tahmoh comment on Scott's very cool "My Other Ride is a Raptor" tee shirt - from Scott's own design (see the illustration tab at his site), but Tahmoh also agreed to arm wrestle him!

Here are a few pics Scott shared with us (click to enlarge).

Fan Expo Pics, Reports, and More

Fan Expo looks and sounds like a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone who sent us con reports or gave us permission to link to their pictures. Note that all pics are the property of their posters. Do not repost or use in fanart without first contacting them.

Doug Mann of The Mark posted a detailed con report. He shared this exchange with Tahmoh:

I asked Penikett in his Q-and-A session about the attitude of the Canadian actors who worked on both the grimly realistic Battlestar and more fantastic shows such as Smallville: were they struck by the differences, or was it just another job? He replied that even the Battlestar miniseries was “badass,” and that it “broke that stereotypical mold about what a sci-fi show is.”

Geekstalt posted this pic of Tahmoh to Flickr (original here).

He later posted this second pic, "Because the moment I post a picture of him, the internet goes wild and I receive e-mails asking for more. I didn't realize he was this popular!" (original here)

AATP reader Mari went to Fan Expo to celebrate her birthday. She got to chat with Tahmoh a couple times, including sharing a great exchange about books written by Dominican Republic authors. Here are a few exerts of her report (Mari, I tried not too get too personal!)

Tahmoh: Oh, you're Dominican! Then you must've read In the Time of the Butterflies
Mari: I haven't yet.
Tahmoh: Oh it's great. Or Oscar Wao. It's dark and historic.
Mari: I haven't read it yet either and it's on my list of books to read. I've been told it's Lord of the Rings meets Dominican history.
Tahmoh: (makes a face) Mmm, naah. But it's definitely dark. You know it's a Pulitzer Prize winner, right?
Mari: I do, I own it I just haven't read it.

They also discussed the book Dead Awakening before Tahmoh wished her safe travels and she moved on so as not to hold up the line for autographs. [Edit: In the comments Mari gives an udpate on the title and author: Dead Man in Paradise by J.B. MacKinnon]

Rambling Russ posted this audio that includes an interview with Tahmoh. Tahmoh "appears" at about the 9:00 minute mark. Thanks to Michelle at the Tahmoh Penikett Facebook fan page and Mari for the links.

Finally, SpoilerTV gives us the name of Tahmoh's character on Human Target, but little else on his role. Of course spoilers for Human Target 2.01 "Ilsa Pucci". (Edit: forgot to mention that their info comes from the Fox Press Release. As of 9/12, Futon Critic and others had also reported the same.)
