The DVD Special Feature I Love: Felicity's "Docuventary"
Whilst enjoying the third season of Felicity, one of my favorite series of all time, I stumbled upon a bonus feature I'd never checked out: The "Docuventary"--the name for Sean (Greg Grunberg)'s confessional documentary filming all season in hopes of getting aired on TV--makes a welcome reappearance, with Grunberg tracking down all the actors after the show had ended to film new interviews. The camera caught the entire cast, including Donald Faison (Tracy) and Scott Foley (Noel) on the set of Scrubs, Ian Gomez (Javier) at a production office, co-creators J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves, and even Robert Patrick Benedict (Richard).
A couple nuggets from the interviews: Amy Jo Johnson (Julie) revealed that she left the show because her mother had passed away as the show began and the schedule didn't give her a chance to grieve, and Kristen Lehman, who played gunshot victim-turned-Ben-pursuer Avery, says her audition scene was sympathetic, and that she didn't know she was supposed to be a villainess until she got her first script. Keri Russell laments her hair's "awkward growing-out period," and others have a laugh making fun of Scott Speedman's penchance for whispering. Good times. -- Ellen
