Here is a surprise: a new acting gig and we don’t have to turn the Internet upside down to find out about it. Also yeah, possibly a new TV series for Eric. Deadline writes that he has been cast as the lead in a new TV pilot for Lifetime, called Modern Love. Here are the first details:

Created and executive produced by Sex and the City alumna Jenny Bicks, the project weaves actual stories from New York Times columns to explore the state of modern relationships. It follows newspaper science editor Simon McElvane (Stoltz) as he faces a deteriorating marriage, the ramifications of potentially starting over and balancing his relationship with his adopted 15-year-old daughter. Unexpectedly handed the job of editor of the newspaper’s Modern Love column, Simon discovers he has a lot to learn about life and love.

Eric isn’t in the previews (see here) for tonight’s Wilfred, but based on the tweets from the director a few months ago, he should appear in one of the two episodes that air tonight, starting at 10 pm.

“Compassion / Isolation” Episode 9 – Ryan’s resentment of his eccentric mother is exacerbated when Wilfred starts treating her like the mum he never had.

“Isolation” Episode 10 – Wilfred uses Ryan’s unhealthy habit of isolating as a means to rid himself of a neighborhood pest.

the grand design,eric stoltz,frances conroyGreat news: The Grand Design, a short film Eric directed a few years ago, will finally be available somewhere – on ShortsHD channel on DirecTV (link):

Premiering Sunday, August 21: In The Grand Design a young poet-scientist struggles with his work – and his mother – when he is chosen to author the next spacecraft-carried “message” to alien civilizations. A 16mm short directed by Golden Globe-nominee Eric Stoltz and Neel Keller, written by Susan Miller, and starring Eric Stoltz and Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under).

If you’re in the U.S., you won’t need DirecTV to see it:

ShortsHD is available on DIRECTV (Channel 568), Dish Network (Channel 375), and AT&T U-Verse (Channel 1789). Access via iTunes will follow shortly after each premiere.

Hopefully, someone will share the film with the rest of the world too one of these days.

Meanwhile, Fort McCoy will be shown at the TriMedia Film Festival in Colorado in September. Source:

Included on the schedule is a screening of “Fort McCoy,” selected for the 2011 Choice City Award for Best Feature Film. The film will be shown the evening of Sept. 10.
