Craig rounded out the year by performing the role of “Arthur Gold” on the highly anticipated summer 2012 series “Wedding Band.” The series stars Brian Austin Green ("Beverly Hills, 90210"; "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”), Harold Perrineau (“Lost”), Melora Hardin (“The Office”; “Monk”), Jenny Wade (“Reaper”; “The Good Guys”), Peter Cambor ("Notes from the Underbelly"), and Derek Miller ("Scrubs").
The series is set to air on TBS starting in June of 2010 from FremantleMedia, executive produced by Tollin Productions.
“I had a fantastic time working with the cast. They were a really fun group,” Watkinson said. “’Smoke’ is one of my favorite films and ‘Lost’ was one of my favorite shows, so working with Harold was great. Honestly, everybody was really welcoming.”
Asked about his character: “Arthur Gold is a rival band manager to Melora’s character, so I’m definitely at odds with their core crew. I manage a boy band, and I’m definitely a bit sleazy. It was a great script, and the director (Kevin Dowling, “The Sum of Us”) was one of the best I’ve ever worked with. It was a great way to end the year!”

Craig Watkinson recently completed shooting "Dyslexia: A Hidden Disability," a documentary from award-winning producer/director Laurent Bouzereau produced by the Kennedy/Marshall Company. He was chosen for the film based on his years of teaching experience and affiliation with the Westmark School, one of the nation’s preeminent schools for students with learning differences.
“I was thrilled to have been asked,” Craig said. “I’ve long been a fan of Laurent’s work. He does some of the best documentary work there is. Dyslexia is still greatly misunderstood in our society. Hopefully this documentary can shed new light on the subject.”
Craig Watkinson also spent some time recently recording some vocals for the latest Richard Cheese album, "OK Bartender" (a send up of Radiohead's classic "OK Computer").
"I was thrilled to do it," Craig said. "I've long been a fan of Richard Cheese and have seen many of his shows. He's a consummate entertainer and a hell of a funny guy. So when he asked me to do some work on one of the tracks, I jumped at the chance!"
The album is available through iTunes or through Richard Cheese's website. For details, click the link below:
We here at the website would also like to congratulate Mr. Watkinson on officially becoming a credentialed, certificated California school teacher. Inspired by Angelina's humanitarian efforts to adopt a child of nearly every race or hair color, Craig felt he could help children too. Much like a superhero who is a mild mannered nerd during the workday but battles crime at night and on certain national holidays, he now balances the molding of young minds with the kind of breathtaking roles he's famous for, like "Onlooker" or "Sunglass Salesman." And who could possibly forget his riveting role as Sara Gilbert's one-night stand as "Derek" in the canceled WB series "Twins"? It still takes our breath away, and leaves us with just a happy little touch of gas. He has spent the last four years teaching 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students with learning differences.
INCREDIBLY SEXY PHOTOS!
Man, those pictures are making me sweat! (And I didn't smell so great to begin with!)
