Extractions: NYPD BLUE'S NEW HUNK As Detective John Kelly, red-haired actor David Caruso added yet another to a long string of roles as a cop. (Check Mad Dog and Glory or the watershed King of New York ). This time, even though he gained thirty pounds for his world-weary character, Kelly's modus operandi struck a chord with global viewers. But stardom took its toll of Caruso. Never an easy actor, his temperament attracted attention. Then, come hiatus time, he demanded a pay rise of 30,000 a week. He was already paid 70,000 an episode for a role initially intended for another actor. That person, as it happens, was Jimmy Smits , who rose to fame on Steven Bochco's LA Law . A close friend of Bochco, NYPD BLUE's auteur, Smits had turned down the role when the show was casting. He was hoping to make the jump to movies. By the time he was offered a chance to replace Caruso, Smits found the show's writing better than his movie scripts. Thus, at last, he became "Detective Bobby Simone". Caruso received a hasty exit from the TV squad. (With an official party from the cast waiting for him in the wings, "Kelly" said his final lines, walked off the set and simply drove straight into the sunset.) Since he was still in costume, the script-disgraced detective managed to retain his badge.

Extractions: Emmy Award-winning actor and avid sports fan Jimmy Smits will host the 2000 ESPY Awards when ESPN's annual gala honoring excellence in sports will be aired live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas Monday, Feb. 14 at 8:00 p.m. ET. Smits presented Sammy Sosa with the ESPY Humanitarian Award during last year's telecast. Smits will host the eighth annual ESPY Awards. Smits, who has established himself as one of the most versatile actors working today, recently completed a successful run on the ABC hit series NYPD Blue. He has also just completed a starring role in a sports-related film by New Line Cinema called Price of Glory. The film, due for release this spring, tells the story of Arturo Ortega (Smits), who shows promise as a boxer until his career crashes. Arturo attempts to realize his dreams vicariously by training his three sons to become champions. Smits has also completed roles in Million Dollar Hotel and Bless The Child. Smits has enjoyed an exemplary television career and has the distinction of having received an Emmy nomination for every year he has been on television. He received six consecutive Emmy nominations for his role as Bobby Simone on the critically acclaimed, Emmy-winning drama, NYPD Blue.
Extractions: Works BIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY Jimmy Smits broke new ground on television in the 1980s with his portrayal of an impassioned, principled attorney on the Emmy-winning NBC drama series L.A. Law . As Victor Sifuentes, the Brooklyn-born actor represented one of the first positive, recurring images of a Hispanic character in the history of prime-time network television. He went on to spend four seasons on the ABC series N.Y.P.D. Blue , a role that once again drew immense critical praise, as well as a number of devoted fans. "Smits, who is tall, dark and drop-dead gorgeous," remarked Austin American-Statesman journalist Diane Holloway, "has gone out of his way over the years to temper his obvious sex appeal by playing serious, often flawed characters." Born on July 9, 1955, Smits grew up in Brooklyn, New York, in a solidly working-class neighborhood, and spent time with family in Puerto Rico during his youth. Smits is of Puerto Rican descent on his mother's side. His father was from Dutch Guiana, now Surinam, and managed a silk-screening factory. As a teen, Smits developed an ardent interest in theater. At Brooklyn's Thomas Jefferson High, he quit the football team in order to devote more time to acting in school plays and musicals. He majored in theater at Brooklyn College, but his degree plans were almost interrupted by unexpected parenthood: he was just 20 years old when his daughter, Taina, was born. He married her mother five years later. "I was always committed to the responsibility of having a child," Smits said of the dilemma in an interview with
Extractions: Jimmy Smits, MFA '82, left, meets with admirers and students, faculty and staff from the Department of Theatre, Film and Dance, Dec. 1, including, from left, sophomore theatre major Rachel Donn; sophomore Kristina Klimovich; and junior film major Jana Wilson, in the Black Box Theatre of the Center for Theatre Arts. Jon Reis/Photolink By Franklin Crawford Actor Jimmy Smits may be fixed in the popular mind as a tall, dark, TV hunk. But for those who met Smits, MFA '82, during his daylong reminiscence at the Center for the Theatre Arts (CTA) Dec. 1, the lasting impression will be of a dedicated actor, a gracious guest and a glitz-free personality whose sincerity was genuine, almost touching. Qualities you might look for, say, in a friend. In fact, the actor's first return visit here grew out of a 16-yearlong friendship with his former acting teacher, Stephen Cole, associate professor of theater, film and dance at Cornell. Cole had invited Smits to Ithaca while the former star of "NYPD Blue" was visiting family and friends in New York. With the final, much-hyped episode featuring his TV character's death behind him (the show aired Nov. 24, one week prior to Smits' visit), Smits was at liberty to visit Cole and Cornell for a low-key, nostalgia trip. Leery of publicity, as a rule, Smits consented to a loose schedule, limited to the theater arts community, with a few exceptions: He took an impromptu tour of Ithaca's Hangar Theatre; allowed for a brief interview with some members of the local print media; availed himself of photo opportunities for students and faculty alike while on campus; and made time for an intimate roundtable discussion with about two dozen students from Cornell's Latino Studies Program.
Extractions: Star in ``Bless the Child'' Principal photography has begun on the supernatural thriller "Bless the Child," starring Kim Basinger and Jimmy Smits. The Paramount Pictures presentation is directed by Chuck Russell and produced by Mace Neufeld. Kim Basinger stars as Maggie O'Connor, a woman whose well-ordered, practical universe has no room for such vague concepts as good and evil. But when her six-year-old niece, Cody, is forcibly abducted, Maggie learns that evil is very real indeed. For Cody is more than simply "special"; she manifests extraordinary powers that the forces of evil have waited centuries to control. Aided by an investigator who specializes in supernatural phenomenon, played by Smits, they together take on the forces of darkness in a battle for Cody's very soul in this riveting modern-day thriller. Basinger made her motion picture debut opposite Robert Redford in Barry Levinson's "The Natural." Since then she has appeared in more than 20 feature films. In 1998, Basinger received an Academy Award(tm) for her role in the critically acclaimed "L.A. Confidential," based on the James Ellroy classic crime novel of the same title. The film, directed by Curtis Hanson, earned nine Academy Award(tm) nominations and also earned Basinger a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award and a BAFTA nomination.
Extractions: Detective Bobby Simone is trading in his badge for a blaster. Confirming rumors that have been floating around the Web for weeks, Lucasfilm today announced the casting of ex- NYPD Blue star Jimmy Smits in George Lucas Star Wars: Episode II Smits will play Senator Bail Organa of Alederaan, the foster father of Princess Leia and the guy who gets blown to bits offscreen by the Death Star in the original Star Wars a d v e r t i s e m e n t "I'd thought of Jimmy for the role before George Lucas had even confirmed the character's appearance," casting director Robin Gurland told the official Star Wars site . "Then completely independently, his agents let me know that he would love to be involved in a Star Wars project. It worked out great." Rumors of the Emmy-winning actor's casting in Episode II had been all over the Internet thanks to a report at Coming Attractions over a month ago. At the time, reps for the actor vehemently denied the gossip.
