At the time I was busy making the movie, so my good friend and colleague (and co-creator) Piet Matthys did most of the heavy lifting.<\/p>\n<p>Shooting was even more intense, we were at the height of the third covid-wave, Frank was exhausted (shot this back to back with the movie, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why his hair is short &#8211; we didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have time to do something else) and lonely in his hotel room. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a Dutchman and we shot most of the show in Belgium with a lot of restrictions, all restaurants and bars closed, no social gatherings possible. It made the experience very \u00e2\u20ac\u0153method\u00e2\u20ac\u009d for him, although he hates method acting. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the kind of actor who can switch on and off in the blink of an eye.<\/p>\n<p>Irony is that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m in LA now, stuck in my hotel room because of a positive covid test.

If you happen to know an agent who would like to help me do some stuff over there, I would be very grateful. And for the record I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have skinny legs.<\/p>\n<p>Greetings from Holland<\/p>\n<p>Frank lammers<\/p>\n<p>_____________________________________<\/p>\n<p>_____________________________________<\/p>\n<p>So glad you keep the love going for Undercover, as I could not agree with you MORE!<\/p>\n<p>Ferry is one of, if not the best bad guys in years on TV, and for those who know what we&#8217;re both talking about, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think there&#8217;s been a more lovable, yet despicable &#8220;bad guy&#8221; like this since Gandolfini in The Sopranos. Ferry is the show, and every second he&#8217;s on screen he&#8217;s unpredictable, ready to pounce, and flat out someone you can&#8217;t help but admire because he says what he means and means what he says, which is sadly something most knuckleheads in our world have forgotten is a noble and stand up quality we desperately need more of.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you,<\/p>\n<p>Richard Suckle<\/p>\n<p>_____________________________________<\/p>\n<p>I was an AFS student in Tunisia in high school and attended a few circumcisions &#8211; yes, they are a thing, like a combo bris and bar mitzvah. My eyes were big as saucers the first time I attended one &#8211; I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d heard the word circumcision said out loud before (I grew up protestant in Pasadena).<\/p>\n<p>Re Frank Lammers &#8211; The range. He&#8217;s mesmerizing as Ferry. He&#8217;s so alive as a character I feel like I can smell him. Repulsive and attractive&#8230;the boyish slump in the hotel lobby in Turkey, his tenderness towards Danielle, his rage &#8211; when he pulled that table out of the cement floor to reach the phone in prison! &#8211; the pursed lips, watching his brain work when he&#8217;s negotiating with the police and then&#8230;that remarkable scene with Serkan where he goes raw and real about why he desperately needs that drug deal&#8230;wow.<\/p>\n<p>Barbara Barna Abel<\/p>\n<p>_____________________________________<\/p>\n<p>I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m watching undercover, it really is good. \u00c2\u00a0Ferry was an amazing character and mean as a snake underneath. \u00c2\u00a0Bob is a full fledged character with his work, his family and I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know how people who work undercover for months, years do what they do.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for the suggestions, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll check out Spiral.<\/p>\n<p>Brian ALLMAN<\/p>\n<p>_____________________________________<\/p>\n<p>Ditto\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6100% !<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Teare<\/p>\n<p>_____________________________________<\/p>\n<p>Great season, loved it, too!<\/p>\n<p>Don Sizzle<\/p>\n<p>_____________________________________<\/p>\n<p>I want an all Fer network.<\/p>\n<p>Gary Mendel<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Re: Undercover Season 3 Thank you Bob.
