Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. These series are so wonderful and yes they feature real people who gasp are not 22 years old or size zero. I'm thrilled at the varying and very smart content that I've seen so far, Blue, Dakota, and this one. Thank you!!!

[lilyloveable]

I love that WIGS have such a diverse cast of actors. Both well known & one's that I personaly have never heard of. Keep on making your ecliptic web shows WIGS I'm loving them.

Oh and thanks for bringing Steven Webber back and showing his very underrated dramatic side! and I love Maura, have since ER. She's so real.

When and where do we get to see "Tom"????

[wendydennis]

God i wish they would do another season. probably a one to two day shoot. Would be awesome to have another season with Michael C Hall.

[ahillmann]

I like the fact that while all actors in the WIGS "Behind She Scenes" snippets praise these short episodes so much, Philip Baker Hall doesn't seem to perceive this "new age" in an entirely positive way. He seems to be slightly sceptical to it.

ruth reminds me of the lovely actress in the notebook movie

9:40, funny Michael C. Hall would say "Laboratory", since he plays Dexter.
Get it, Dexter's Laboratory. Maybe it's just me.

These actors probably shot their BTS during the shoot. I believe all the series were shot before any of them aired. Many of them worked for next to nothing and were excited to be part of something groundbreaking, so naturally they mention that. There are other BTS episodes where the actors and directors/writers do deal with the characters solely, as well as other topics of how they made these series. So you should probably be able to see what you want, all in all in these episodes.

Please don't let the actors talk about how "new" the You Tube venue is and how it remains to be seen how it will turn out. We've heard this already in many other behind the scenes. Lets move on! Its a small scale, low budget, high quality drama/comedy. Its working and will continue to develop a larger following. Please let the actors talk about their characters and how they prepare for their roles.
