I heard you’re a little worried that no one knows about the show, so I’m here to assure you that it’s on in New Zealand and had a big season premiere …

Oh good! I was a little bit concerned because they’re not promoting it here [in Sydney] yet. It hasn’t started but then I heard that it’s on tomorrow night and I was like “Oh God, no one’s going to know that it’s on”. It’s a weird show. You’ve got to get people to watch it. Is it on at a good time in New Zealand?

Yep, it’s on Monday nights, which is good because everyone stays in and watches TV.

Oh, okay, good. So it’s on a big channel at a good time? Good, I’m very happy about that. Continue…

Lee Pace predicts that when they see him singing a song in “Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day,” a certain group of newly reemployed TV writers will want him to do it for them.

“I have a feeling that once they see this movie, they’ll be working on a musical episode of ‘Pushing Daisies.’”

Pace can relax for the moment, though. While ABC’s “Pushing Daisies,” one of the surprise hits of the now writers-strike-shortened TV season, has been picked up for a second season, its initial nine episodes will have to suffice for a while.

“It’s like making a little movie each week,” says Pace, 28, who plays a young man with the power to bring the dead back to life. “But it’s a very expensive show to produce because there are so many special effects. So we won’t be back until the fall.” Continue…

He may play Amy Adams’ dreamy inamorata in the comedy of errors “Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day,” in theaters March 7, but Lee Pace is a little worried about swooning moviegoers accusing him of false advertising. “I really do look a lot different in person,” the 28-year-old actor insists, via cell phone from his house in Los Angeles’ Runyon Canyon.

In the end, it’s a moot point: Pace’s brown, puppy-dog eyes serve him well on-screen in “Pettigrew” as Michael, a penniless pure-of-heart piano player who attempts to woo the misguided Delysia Lafosse (played by Adams).

Lee was at the premiere Of “Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day” yesterday. I added a few pictures to the gallery.

Known mainly for his role on the fantasy TV show Pushing Daisies, Lee Pace is making his debut as a romantic leading man in the 1930s comedy Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. As Michael, the beleaguered and poor pianist in love with budding movie star Delysia Lafosse (Amy Adams), Pace sports a British accent and some snazzy costumes while effortlessly slipping into the role of irresistible hunk. He also gets to throw a punch, wield a gun and trade witticisms with Frances McDormand– not bad for a guy mostly known before for quirky TV roles.

Pace is gearing up to head back to work on Pushing Daisies now that the writer’s strike is over, and he’s happy to talk about his hit TV show as well as the upcoming Pettigrew. One thing he’s not happy to talk about, though, is the musical he did in high school. We didn’t press him for details, but given all the great work he’s given us since then, we can probably be satisfied with what we have.

TV actors often try to parlay their small-screen fame into big-screen success. Some, like George Clooney, hit the jackpot. Others falter in the transition, but you can’t fault them for trying. Here’s a sampling of where in the cinema you can currently find some of TV’s stars and rental picks for the Netflix-addicted.

Lee Pace (Pushing Daisies) - Pace is taking a 180-degree turn from his TV role, going dark and troubled for his role as the brother-in-law of Sarah Michelle Gellar’s character in Possession (February 28). But don’t worry, March’s Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day promises to delivery light-hearted romance. As one of the many suitors of the delightful Amy Adams, a 1930s singer/actress, Pace must surely be at the top of her list as he is on ours.

Alternate Rental Pick: Soldier’s Girl. Pace was Golden Globe nominated for his role in the Showtime film, which is based on the true story of a soldier who fell in love with a transgendered nightclub performer. As the transgendered performer, Pace’s transformation, which required prosthetic breasts and hips, is astounding. Make sure to have tissues handy.

Lee Pace, star of the ABC hit Pushing Daisies, was spending his vacation on a 45-foot chartered sloop sailing from Barbados around the Grenadines. 
  
“The whole point was to learn how to sail,” Lee said, “but it was too windy. Still, it was really fun. I’d done boat things once before. It’s like camping out on the water.”
  
The relaxed, 28-year-old bachelor had only recently moved to Los Angeles (“up in the hills”) from New York, where he’d lived for 10 years. Sounding a bit surprised at himself, Lee said, “I love L.A.”

–If Pushing Daisies deserves its Golden Globe nominations, it might just be because in the land of TV crime dramas, this ABC comedy stands out.

Fans might shudder to think of Bryan Fuller’s candy-coloured romantic fairy tale as a mere procedural, but that’s how the creator pitched his idea. But is it a fairy tale with a procedural bent or a procedural with a fairy-tale twist?

No matter. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which in past years discovered fresh cable fare such as The Shield, Nip/Tuck and Big Love before the Emmys noticed them, bestowed three important Golden Globe nominations for Pushing Daisies.

The series was the only new show that received a nomination, alongside its lead actors, Lee Pace and Anna Friel.

“We all knew it was something special when we got involved with the project, but we didn’t realize other people would recognize it so quickly and so surely,” Friel said. “I think it confirms our belief that it’s inventive and something very special on TV that people haven’t seen before.” Continue…

Where else on television do you find a lonely pie maker like Ned (Pace) who can bring things back to life with his touch and who is in love with a dead woman named Chuck (Friel) whom he revived but can never touch again or she will die permanently?

Pace, who previously worked on “Wonderfalls” with “Daisies” creator Bryan Fuller, said the complications make the part that much more fun to play.

“And I am so appreciative of working with someone like Anna. She works so hard and is not one of those actresses who is happy to just look pretty in front of the camera.”

For her part, Friel says she would have hated being nominated by herself.

“We’re both perfectionists and we work very hard,” said the British-born Friel. “We concentrate very hard because the dialogue is so poetic and it’s so fast and rhythmic. If you let your concentration slip for 10 minutes, the scene is ruined.”
