Following a few months of hard work and some very late nights during which time I've been a bit of a recluse at TIWWA, and as previously mentioned in our staff blog, I'm pleased to announce that the newly overhauled Lance Henriksen Magic is now officially open, and which will make it all the more enjoyable and fun to take an interest in the career of the enigmatic Lance Henriksen.

I'm thrilled to say that Lance Henriksen Magic will now be brought to you with the kind assistance of Mark Hayden (aka ethsnafu) and Libby! Both Mark and Libby you may already know help me successfully run This is who we are.

Mark in particular will be helping me to bring you more news concerning Lance Henriksen and his career on a more frequent basis, whilst Libby will be helping oversee the brand new community forums section of the site. The new site is easier to navigate and use, contains the same classic archive of Lance goodness, but is now a new feature-laden social website where fans can discuss Lance's career, classic roles and his latest projects with like-minded individuals, who appreciate Lance's career and his amazing talent.

We look forward to chatting with you on the new site, we hope you enjoy the facilities it has to offer and we look forward to you sharing your favourite Lance video's fan tributes/art/video compilations and clips of Lance's film moments with a potentially much larger audience that we currently have here as TIWWA is solely focussed on Lance's work on Millennium.

Regards,
Graham, Libby and Mark.

Wednesday May 5th sees Lance Henriksen reach the grand age of 70 years young and as this is a milestone birthday the Millennium Fan Community (thanks to the inspiration of our founder, Graham P Smith) decided it was right and proper to mark the occasion in style and bring as many people together at www.tiwwa.info to celebrate the continuing career of one of the acting profession's brightest luminaries. To help the occasion go with a "boom boom" we have some super articles and videos looking back over Lance's stellar career and celebrating his achievements in various roles with a special emphasis on Frank Black. We have an exclusive comic strip bringing "Frank Black" back in his first adventure for over a decade (courtesy of artist and writer, Barry Renshaw with an ongoing series to follow), contributions from Millennium cast and crew members, Mark Snow, Peter Outerbridge, Robert McLachlan and Marshall Bell and from Movie Director and Writer, Brett Hart and Author M R Sellars. In addition to which we have games, an especially commissioned birthday anthem, seventy reasons why we love Lance Henriksen and much, more more.

Special thanks must be afforded to Matt Allair of www.x-fileslexicon.com and Laura and Frank of http://www.spooktalkular.com/ for their contributions and as the week unfolds we expect more surprises and fun. Our thanks is also extended to Frank Spotnitiz and his team at Big Light and Steven's Millennium Facebook Group for the coverage and support.

As we look forward to celebrating Lance Henriksen's 70th Birthday, with the great and the good assembled, it is also time to announce the third outing of our Millennium Skype Chat Group, "Millennium: The Family". We are inviting each and every one of you to join us on Friday May 7th 8:00 GMT as we take a look back at the continuing career of Lance Henriksen and the plethora of roles he has become famous for creating (with a little more emphasis on Frank Black of course).

As always, we endeavour to keep the flame alive and hope that you will all join us on Wednesday May 5th to do so but, more importantly, we hope you will raise a glass to Lance Henriksen.

Happy Birthday Lance, long may you reign.

Mark Hayden

BackToFrankBlack.com have published a recording of their recent participation in the Lance Feltman Radio show at Rowan Radio 89.7 WGLS-FM - The Music That Matters. Both James and Troy (a downright veritable comedy double-act in anyone's book) took part and did a grand ol' job in promoting their campaign to see the return of Millennium.

Be sure to keep up to date with their news blog for the latest campaign news, interviews and order a fantastic, non-copyright infringing Millennium themed t-shirt whilst you are there. By doing so, you'll help Jim and Troy get one step closer to ordering a advert in Variety or other respected trade publication to promote the campaign.

Our website Millennium - This is who we are celebrates its 9th birthday as of today, February 14th! That kind of makes me wonder why I was launching a website instead of spoiling my girlfriend on Valentine's Day all those years ago! My excuse would have to be that the site was about one of the best television series ever created, and that of course is down to the amazing collection of talent, artistry and creativity of Millennium's cast and crew.

Back then of course, I hadn't the slightest inkling that the website would still exist today, all be it together with a new more suitable name. It is without a doubt, down the fantastic fans of the series, from all walks of life who herald from so many varied countries around the world that have kept the interest going and so many I'm glad to say have become good friends. The Millennium fan community, many of whom of course reside online in our ever-popular forums, combined with the sheer depth, scope and fascinating dark intensity of Chris Carter's inspiring and so often copied Millennium television series, is what has kept the site going for so long.

This site will remain for many years to come, an online testimony to the work of the people involved in the series, who created such an amazing world where I think many fans of the show find solace and identify with the wonderful characters, in particular of course Frank Black and his journey through the darkness and light. Lance Henriksen of course, will be forever remembered and fondly cherished for his role as Frank.

Last year, 2009, Millennium - This is who we are (excluding our forums) received over 87,000 absolute unique visitors, almost 125,000 visits and almost 476,000 page views. Millennium may have concluded on television years ago, but interest is clearly far from over. Don't forget that you can help show this by supporting the campaign to see Frank Black return at BacktoFrankBlack.com, Lance isn't done yet, and needs your backing to deliver the good message that Frank still has work to do.

Thank you for visiting the website over the years, and long may you continue to return for many more.

THIS IS WHO WE ARE

The wonderful John Kenneth Muir has been an outspoken supporter of Millennium, in fact I quoted one of his remarkable insights and reflections into the series for our Episode Guide's Introduction to Millennium, I hope he doesn't mind!

Recently John was granted what turned out to be a fascinating and lengthy interview with Millennium's equally wonderful creator Chris Carter. I won't give anything away except to say that its a great interview and one not to be missed.

As Wikipedia puts it, John Kenneth Muir (born 1969) is an American literary critic. He has written over twenty-one reference books in the fields of film and television, with a particular accent on the horror and science fiction genres. He has been described as one of the horror genre's "most widely read critics", and as an "accomplished film journalist".

You can enjoy reading John's full article including the interview with Chris Carter at his superb blog over at John Kenneth Muir's Reflections on Film/TV. Beware, one note of caution, you'll be glued to John's fascinating website for a very long time, so be sure to bookmark it!
