Just booked a role on Lie to Me. I will let everyone know the air date when I get it!
Immediately after
Christmas I started work on a new movie called Touchback. The script is amazing! The day after I wrapped I headed to Park
City for The Sundance Film Festival and the world premiere of Skateland. It was very well received by audiences.
Worked
on a fun indie last month called Rubber and I just started work on another project as a character in a video game! It's being
shot with MOCAP and since I have never done capture animation before I am having a great time learning about how it all
works.
Just wrapped my role on the 6th episode of Three Rivers. It's a new show on CBS with a fantastic cast including
Alfre Woodard and Alex O'Laughlin. I love any acting role that includes stunts and this one didn't let
me down!
The founders of
www.verymeri.com are actively involved in stopping bullying through tee shirt sales and fundraisers. I designed a tee with the slogan
"Use Your Heart and Not Your Fists" and it is now for sale on their site. All proceeds benefit Mattel Children's
Hospital and that's a very worthwhile cause. Go buy one of my shirts!
Follow me on Twitter
at
www.twitter.com/halesbells if you want to know what I'm up to everyday! Some of it's pretty silly but I have to admit that Twitter is a pretty
cool invention!
FYI everyone...I do not have a Broadwayspace page, a MySpace page or any fan pages on Facebook.
Any that you see are posers. My halesbells on Twitter is the real thing. I have a personal Facebook page but only add people
I know.
I was on the July 21st airing of Hawthorne on TNT. It's Jada Pinkett Smith's new show. Loved working on it and
the highlight was the wardrobe department's rescued mom dog and her 8 puppies. Lucky dogs! The mom was a stray. Who would
dump a dog?
My iCarly episode, called iReunite With Missy, aired on Saturday May 16th. We had
a blast filming! Hope you enjoyed watching it. It's in re-runs...all the time.
Joined the Celebrity Read Aloud Tour
at Oaks Elementary in Inglewood, CA. We had a rally for the students and then read to the younger ones. The students and their
teachers were amazing!
Had a fantastic time at the American Girl Store in Los Angeles. It was National Stop Bullying
Day and I read to 400 kids. You can see the pics at www.wireimage.com by typing my name in the search bar.
The movie Skateland is in post-production and I hear it is looking great. Can't
wait to see the final cut. I'm expecting some perfect 80s music for the soundtrack!
My friend, celebrity photographer
Tyler Shields, had an amazing birthday party and shot and filmed an epic cake fight. Messy and fun. He has one of the photos
on his www.tylershields.com site!
I was on The Unit (CBS) on Sunday, March 15th! Hope you got to see it.
Just for fun check out Miranda
Cosgrove's YouTube Channel for video of our Sleepover at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood. You can also see her music video
for Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and maybe you'll catch a glimpse of me, as well! You can find it on my links page!
OLDER NEWS...
Also,
I JUST FILMED AN EPISODE OF iCARLY titled iReunite With Missy. I play Missy, a long lost best friend of Carly's. I had a great
time working with Miranda again! I will post the air date when I know it.
I wrapped
"Skateland" and the director (awesome Tony Burns) has shared some
of the footage with us and it is beautifully shot! This will be a movie for everyone. It's a great story and has a great cast
including Shiloh Fernandez, Ashley Greene, Taylor Handley, Heath Freeman, Melinda McGraw and Brett Cullen.
My "Eleventh Hour" episode aired on October 23rd. Clips are

Many thanks to
all who came out for the Ronald McDonald House LA Walk for Kids. My team raised over 2000.00. Thanks so much. It was a great
day! The sun was out and we walked the 5k with Ronald McDonald and all the fantastic people who support this charity. I will be continuing my Movie Nights at RMHLA. My actor friends who have starred in kid friendly films come
by the house and watch movies with the residents.
The
first United Kingdom airing of Ben 10: Race Against Time was on February 11th on Cartoon Network. And on February 10th
we were in Leicester Square, in the heart of London, for the premiere. I loved meeting all of the Ben 10 fans! I had
such a great time in the UK. The movie is out on DVD now.
Don't
forget to make donations to your local food bank. They need canned goods year round and not just during the holidays.
