Austin Nichols Media

This is a new (to me?), old picture of Austin. It's from the Canadian Toro Magazine from 2006. I haven't actually got the magazine, so this is just a small picture from the web. Hence, it's hard to read. Anyone have this in a more readable size? He was one of the magazine top ten new hunks, or something like that.

So, here's a selection of photos of Austin at the premiere of The Informers in LA. Why does he always have a shiny forehead in these kinds of pictures? It's rather amusing. *g*

( More! )

So, just because. Yay! :D



Surely, though, no matter what else you believe, biking CAN'T be the only thing these two ever do together. Why are the paps so fond of photographing them biking? And who is the third guy?

Seems Austin likes to take a very active part of the virtual world. Now you can find him on eguiders.com where he suggest a few video clips that he loves. Seems David Milch is one of the people behind the site, so there's your connection!

For instance he chose these videos - with accompaning comments from Austin:

Barackula
Comedy (Broad), Music (Musical)
When you see original online content like this, you get a feeling that there is a future for cinema and the internet together. This is a beautiful short film that is also funny and well written, well choreographed, and the songs are well sung as well. I was amazed! Cheers to Mike Lawson and everyone involved!

Angry Erotic Sheep in the Woods
Comedy (Broad)
Kristen Schaal from Flight of the Conchords is incredibly talented and funny and strange and beautiful. I would love anything she does. Enjoy!

Could be interesting to follow this! See what more things he might add to that list.

More Austin at that blog. Now with video! He's adorable.

I'm not sure where they're going with this blog, though. Is it just to get a lot of attention so they'll get finance so they can make a movie? It IS a little weird to be talking about the characters of a non-existing movie this much. It'll be hard to live up to their own hype, if they ever manage to get it done, I fear.

With that said, I do love this part. Hilarie Burton sure does have a soft spot for our dear Austin. I think we all can sympathize. *g*

Austin rode 45 minutes on a scooter, all the way across the sprawling metropolis of Los Angeles to eat eggs and split a crazy big 47 grain (exaggeration) pancake with Lis and me. He knew more than a couple people in the restaurant. He's been taking meetings out west with agents and managers, doing really solid work to get this project rolling. He's going to make this movie great.
But he's not a slick LA man. This is a southern creature we are talking about. He belongs in our sleepy little town, rocking on front porches and sipping on sweet tea.

You know I just HAVE to keep posting Austin's completely insanely hilarious blog posts! That boy is strange. But in a good way. *g*

And man, I want to know what he's auditioning for!

( Read it here. )

It would be a crime if I didn't post these fabulously happy-making, long overdue, man-I've-missed-them pictures, now wouldn't it? Because the boys are back! Or: The Boys Ride Again! Or whatever you want to call this sequel to the saga that is Jake & Austin. Anyway, yay! ♥

Some more insight into the wonders of Austin, courtesy of Hilarie Burton:

Mr. Nichols - I call him that because I have
the utmost respect for Mr. Austin Nichols.
To be perfectly honest, I really didn't know
if he and I were going to get along when we first
met. He was too beautiful. And beautiful men frighten me!
But Mr. Nichols is a nerdy, brainy, eccentric man in
disguise. True story: I was giving Mr. Nichols a ride
home one evening, when a party bus full of young
women started hollering at us. One of the rowdy
things mooned us.....although Austin and I debated
as to whether it was a full moon, or and undies-on moon
(which is not really a moon at all.) Not to be outdone,
he instructed me to speed up and pull up next to them,
at which point, he dropped his drawers and delivered
the fullest of moons.

Wiccans could have conducted ceremonies under this moon.
Coyotes howled at it.
Cows jumped over it.

We had a good laugh, and then I dropped him off.
Later that night, he wandered into a bar and
happened upon the very same pack of girls who
had heckled us earlier. Coincidence doesn't exist
for Mr. Nichols. He is a magnet, and the earth is drawn to him,
so of course he met up with this group again. I believe
they bought him shots all night.

Perhaps they were Wiccan.


Hee! He's quite a character, isn't he? :)

Austin the blogger strikes again!

FROM THE ROOFTOPS
"I'm mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore!"
-paddy chayefsky -- NETWORK

"Look out music city, cause here I am and I ain't never leavin!"
-carol heikkinen -- THE THING CALLED LOVE

I am pretty in love with shouting from the rooftops.

Whether it be about revolution, career, dreams, or love,
I think people should spend more time shouting from
the rooftops.

Directors Sidney Lumet and Peter Bogdanovich nailed
it in their movies.

I have yelled from apartment windows in Manhattan,
screamed from the tops of tall buildings in Austin.

Lately, I howl like a werewolf in Los Angeles.

Usually from a balcony or deck overlooking all the twinkling
lights of Hollywood at night. My newest desire is
to shout from a tall building in every city I set foot in.

And I am urging all of you to do the same.

One time I was walking down a dark, quiet street in
Manhattan, and out of the sky, I heard...

MAN
I'M GONNA DO IT! I'M REALLY
GONNA DO IT!!

Quit his soul-sucking job and pursue his dream?
Ask a girl to be his bride?

There was so much hope behind those words, that he inspired me.
A man I never saw or spoke to.

Maybe he just finally decided to get new drapes.

Go to the window now. Or the roof. Or climb a tree.
It doesn't matter.
Just get as high as you can and shout as loud as you can.
Whatever it is that you dream about.
Or whoever you love.
Yell it from the rooftops for all to hear.

And do it often.

And for Godsakes, do it at night.

Romance, people. Romance!!!

Somewhere in our film, Lincoln or Mona, or both,
must shout from the rooftops. I am going to shout from
the rooftops, baby!!!

And I am Lincoln Booth!!!

your faithful steed,
austin nichols

post script: what are all the other films with
great rooftop shouting scenes?

Yet another blog from Austin! Seems he likes it. I say it again: get your own blog, Austin! *g*

MONA MILLS THROUGH THE EYES OF LINCOLN BOOTH
Mona Mills is the kind of girl that a man only meets once in his life.
I am hesitant to use the word girl, not because she isn't a girl, but because that great four-letter-word doesn't encompass the entire MONA. She is also a woman. She is a lady. She is a broad. She is a dame. She is a damsel in............
She drives a rickshaw around Manhattan, speaks in a tongue that only a handful of humans can understand.
She has the spirit of Kate Winslet's, Clementine Kruczynski,from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Also, Annie Potts', Iona, from Pretty in Pink.
She will treat a perfect stranger like a best friend, pick up a hitchhiker just to hear his story, drop a television in the ocean just to see the splash, and then dive in and retrieve it so it doesn't pollute the Atlantic.
Mona Mills deserves her alliterative name.
Few deserve such a priveledge.
Characters in novels and drama and cinema often carry alliterative names. Comic bookshave exhausted the device. Clark Kent, Peter Parker, Lex Luthor...
Mona Mills is a woman that lives up to the hype. She can back it up. Tromp through the mud, scale sheer cliffs, fjord rivers and bound over tall mountains.
From the moment one meets Mona Mills, one is struck by her eccentricities. Her confidence is over-whelming, bordering on nuisiance, but quickly forgiven.
We forgive the beautiful easily for their shortcomings, as long as they are kind and sincere.
Mona Mills could kick a puppy, but her laugh and her regret could mend war-torn nations. But never forget that just underneath that confident exterior lies a very sensitive pixey.
And reading Mona Mills on a page is just as mind-boggling as meeting her for the first time. So the great question is...
Who is the actress, so rare and special, that can play Mona Mills?
Who is our whimsical, magical beauty? (Beck lyric)
Please share your ideas....
Your Faithful Servant,
Austin Nichols
post script: I just read what I wrote and none of it makes any sense, but with Mona Mills, that makes a lot of sense.
Farewell.

Austin blogs about his upcoming role in Hilarie Burton's movie. From here. This makes me wish he had his own blog. He's definitely got a way with words! He's funny. :)

MY NAME IS AUSTIN NICHOLS AND I AM LINCOLN BOOTH
A smart, beautiful producer lady handed me a script one day. Her name is Hilarie Burton.
The script, PEDESTRIAN.
People hand me a lot of scripts and most of the time, they are less than extraordinary.
This script was light years beyond extraordinary.
After I read the opening monologue, I sent the pretty producer lady a text message.
It said something likethis."WHEN DO WE START?!!!"

Then I went home to finish reading and found pages 3-117 to be far richer and more illuminating than pages 1 and 2.
I have been called many things, but"careful" is not one of them. My whimsical approach is usually always rewarded, but not what others would recomend or call, "fruitful."
But I believe that it is the only way to be. The only way for me. And it proved fruitful that day.
Our scribe, a man called Nicholas Gray, posesses a wisdom far beyond his young years. His characters' tongues are sharp as knives, their journey's devastating and inspiring, full of fun and fancy.
The pretty producer lady asked me 67 times if I was serious about doing the movie. You can't fault her for that.
This business is full of fickle frauds. She just wasn't used to the chivalrous, strong, honest, straight-forward, my-word-is-stronger-than-oak, Texas gentlemanly promise that I handed her. And I understand,it's quite intimidating. :)

Interestingly enough, Lincoln Booth, the character I play, is founded on the same kind of Southern ideals, but he is all dressed up and covered in New York fancyschmancy, hiding behind the lens of his camera, not focused on his own beating heart.
And then...Enter Mona Mills...
Stay tuned...
Next time more about Lincoln Booth and Mona Mills. They may be the next Jack and Rose, or Romeo and Juliet.
Your Faithful Servant,
Austin Nichols

I've found a bunch of pictures of Austin from a movie that apparently has not seen the light of day in any way: Kate's Smile. All I know is that it was filmed in Oregon november 2005. It's a bit strange that there's no more information about it. If you guys can find out more, that would be great. Anyway, these pictures were taken by a woman who worked on the set and I found them on her Myspace. If you look at the album before Kate's Smile, called All Roads Lead Home you also see that there's a dog working on that film called Atticus... (No Austin in that one, though.) Coincidence?

I've uploaded all pictures of Austin, even the one which are blurry, just because. It's a pity we'll never know why he's all beat up, or why he's (un)dead.



( And a few blurry, smoking ones... )

Here are a few more pcitures from the set of Prayers for Bobby. These were found on the official facebook for Carly Schroeder, who plays the sister of Austin's character in the movie (she's the blond girl). Even here, Austin can't resist exposing his chest a bit. He seems to have an aversion to clothes. *g*

Here's a new interview with Austin, from My Fanbase. It's quite sweet. Quirky Austin!

1. There is a rumour that you were named after the "Austin, Nichols distilling company". Is it true? If so, do you know why you were named after the company?
I was told that when I was a baby, my Grandfather snuck that Wild Turkey bourbon into my baby bottle. I think my Grandfather wanted to name one of his sons Austin because he loved that bourbon and that name, but my Grandmother would not allow it. Ha! So my dad took up the slack. Still, after all the free press I have given that company, I still have not seen a single complimentary drop of that 101 proof bourbon.

Yet another interview with Austin, this time from TV Guide:

Filmmaker to Produce Big Drama for Tree Hill's Leyton?
By ROBYN ROSS

Lucas Scott may finally get a big break with one of his novels when Austin Nichols makes his way to Tree Hill as movie producer Julian Baker. We checked in with TV's former John from Cincinnati to learn more about his 10-episode One Tree Hill arc, including Julian's "voracious appetite for women." Plus: Will Nichols' coed-canoodling teach return to Friday Night Lights?

TVGuide.com: What you can reveal about your Tree Hill character?
Austin Nichols: He's definitely a troublemaker, kind of a Jack Nicholson sort. One of those guys you love to hate. I definitely piss Lucas off quite a bit, and that's probably going to come to blows.

Are you going to have any overlap with James Van der Beek, who'll be playing a director interested in the movie?
Nichols: We don't immediately, but I would imagine we do. The important thing to know is that I'm the producer of the movie, so I'm going to be James Van der Beek's boss.

TVGuide.com: I read that Julian and Peyton (played by Hilarie Burton) have a past connection. Is that anything you can go into?
Nichols: I don't know why they're being so secretive about my love life on this show, but I'll tell you this: When I had my meeting with [series creator] Mark Schwann, I told him that I wanted them all! There are tons of beautiful women on this show, so hopefully Julian crosses paths with many of them. Julian has a voracious appetite.

TVGuide.com: I also hear that there's a possible romance with Brooke (Sophia Bush).
Nichols: Time will tell, time will tell....

TVGuide.com: You played quite the heart-breaker on Friday Night Lights. Do you think Noah would ever make a return appearance?
Nichols: I wish. I really love that show and that character. When I talked to them on the phone beforehand I said [teacher-student romance] happens every day in this country and we should definitely explore this. I know it's a hard thing to do, to bounce all these storylines, and that was probably one of the ones that fell off the table. But I hope it comes back.

TVGuide.com: When we spoke to you back then, you said that David Milch was trying to think of a way for John from Cincinnati to come back. Any updates?
Nichols: No. At some point DreamWorks was interested in buying the idea and doing, like, a web series or something. They kind of got into a [legal] fight so that didn't really happen. Then David started doing his new series, which I actually really liked and wanted to do, and HBO was a little like, "Maybe we should keep these two apart for the next show." But David's new series, Last of the Ninth, is a cop show that takes place in 1970s New York and it's really bad-ass. As always, he'll be doing some pretty racy, cool stuff.

A new interview with Austin, from Buddy TV.

I hope he writes that movie someday! Also, according to German cinemas' websites, The Informers opens there next week. But I kind of doubt it.

( Exclusive Interview: Austin Nichols of 'One Tree Hill' )


For the record, for those unable, like me, to see OTH on your TV, I may be able to help here in this LJ. *g*

Newsflash: Austin will be on the tv show One Tree Hill this season.

On the one hand, great news; we'll be seeing a lot more of the boy.
On the other: One Tree Hill. Couldn't it have been a show I want to watch? Something a little more interesting, perhaps? I've gotten used to quirky Austin.

From EW.com:

Exclusive: Austin Nichols Relocates to 'One Tree Hill'

John from Cincinnati is moving to Tree Hill.

Ex-Cincinnati star Austin Nichols is joining the cast of One Tree Hill, sources confirm to me exclusively. He'll play an indie movie producer who expresses interest in turning Lucas' first novel into a film. And because OTH loves its triangles, he'll also share a past connection with Peyton!

My OTH mole describes Nichols' gig as "heavy recurring," which I'm pretty sure means we're going to be seeing a lot of him.

In related news, props to me for getting through yet another OTH story without saying anything mean. Not sure what's come over me.

It's been a while, eh?

Anyway, seems there's an endless supply of photos from the previously discovered Davis Factor shoot. Because here are two more, found on ebay. Unfortunately they're a bit small. Still! I love this shoot.

Here's yet another new project for Austin! Wow, is he keeping busy or what.

According imdb.com he's filming a movie by Chris "X-files" Carter called Fencewalker.

You can read an article about the movie here.

It seems to be a bit of a mystery. I'm intrigued. His character's name is Tweedy, for one. *g*

A new photo of Austin! Always a good thing, right? This one is taken by his good friend Matthew Frost, who you are all familiar with. It's from his website. Don't ask me what's going on in this one, though... What gender does those legs belong to? I can't be sure.
