Hey,

I wanted to let you know I just finished another episode "Charmed." I'm not going to tell you want episode, or what character I played, but I will tell you this, "I've come full circle."

It was nice to hang out with Julian and Brian again. Those guys are just so cool. And of course the girls are awesome too. I haven't been back there since I was killed off as Belthazor, so it was kind of like a big family reunion. They missed me!!!

Besides that, I've been really busy. This year, I've Guest Starred on "The Division" and "Malcolm in the Middle." On the "The Division" I played a tattoo artist names Skull. They put 29 tattoos on me and 6 were on my head! Pretty cool.

In "Malcolm in the Middle" I played this pycho coach that goes ballistic over his soccer players who are about 6 to 8 years old. It was pretty funny stuff and I had a great time.

Other than that, I've been doing the play, "Doing Judy", 4 nights a week. Believe it or not, it's become a hit. Every night has been sold out and it's been awesome. HBO and Extra came the other night to do pieces on us. The play's run got extended to the end of March. There has been rumors that the play's going to San Fran and Chicago and NewYork. Of course I can't go because of the family and my career, but at least I can say, "I was a part of the origina cast!" Oh, I forgot, Julian is coming to my play one of these nights. I got him tickets. He'll have a blast!

On the home front, my wife's doing great and the new baby will be here in a couple of months (May 5th). Man, it just seemed like yesterday when we found out she was pregnant.

Well, that about it! And YES, I know, my site is not up yet. I've just had no time to think or sit or do anything. Sorry about that. I'll try to get up in the next few weeks.

Hey, one last thing. As you know, I'm in "Men in Black II." It's a small but memorable part. We'll the producers called the other day and said that they are going to do a "trading card" of my character. Pretty cool!!! That's all I know about it for far.

See ya later...

I told Kelly that my website will be up by January 7th. Well, I spoke a little to soon. It looks like it’s going to be delayed another week or so. I’m sorry about that.

Remember, I’ve been in the business for over 10 years now, and I’ve gathered a lot of stuff. I have over 200 images and almost 50 video clips that I’m posting. Plus I have a lot of cool stories about some of the things that have happened to me along the way. It’s going to be a pretty awesome site, very extensive and I hope, very fun.

The “theme” of the site is “The Journey of an Actor.” And that’s where I want to take you, on my journey, as an actor, in this crazy town of Hollywood.

I’ll let you know when it’s ready!

Michael

And thanks for a special place for me to post. The board is really cool and I think it's the best out there. Thanks Matt!!

As for the petition, again thanks. I'm flattered that you guys would start one for me. I'm awestruck that so many people have signed it! Pretty cool. Remember, there's always a chance I'll be back, one way or another. Maybe even without makeup. You never know. This is crazy business and crazy things happen.

There's been some talk about a Chat with me. I know Kelly wants to do it but because it's close to Christmas and I know she has to save for gifts for friends and family, I'll make an offer. I'll pay for the cost of the chat. I guess before I say that I should probably ask how much it costs. How much does it cost? If it's not like a thousand dollars or so, then lets do it! If it's too expensive and my wife finds out, she'll kill me.

I'm doing play rehearsal for the next two weeks so my nights are pretty busy. How about on a Sunday?

So, what else is happening... Master of Disguise went really well. Dana Carvey and I had some really funny stuff together. They really played on the size difference between the two of us. I think it's going to be a great film. It supposed to be out around March. Wow, I have three films coming out about that time, "Undisputed", "Master of Disguise" and "Men in Black II." Man, that's crazy.

I just finished a Film Short. It's called "Blood Shot." It's a comedy about a vampire who is a member of a secret government organization called V.D. (Vampire Division). My job is to rid the world of scumbags. I befriend a cop whose been trying to kill me and together we stop a evil terrorist cell from taking over LA. It's pretty funny, with a lot of action and of course a lot of blood, hence the name "Blood Shot." It's my friends Senior Film Project. He's known in his school for doing the coolest student films. I think it's going to be pretty good.

Well, that's about it! I want to wish everybody a great holiday and hopefully we can get this Chat thing together. It might be a lot of fun!

Oh, one last thing and it's the best. We found out that we're going to have another boy! Wow, three guys in the house, my wife will be surrounded.

Take care.

Michael

Thanks for all of your emails. I'll try to replay to all of them but I’ve been putting in 12 to 15 hours a day on the film and it’s been kicking my butt. But I love it!

As for my site, I’ve been gathering as much info as I can to make the site as interesting as possible; everything from baby pictures (one of you requested that…. Kelly), to gawky high school pictures, to video clips, to video screen caps. Plus, some really cool stories about the business and what’s happened in my life. I know I keep saying, “Just a few more weeks,” but it’s still going to take a few more weeks. I just want to make the site as perfect as possible before it’s released. Plus my publicist wants to do a big press release on it. She looked at some of the preliminary stuff and she thinks it’s going to be pretty cool and very unique. We’ll see…

Well, that’s about it for now. My mom called me at 6:00 A.M. this morning singing, “Happy Birthday” just like she did when I was 10 years old. I don’t think she’s ever missed a year. Moms… they’re pretty cool.

This is Michael Bailey Smith. I checked out Kelly's new Unofficial Michael Bailey Smith web site and all I can say is WOW! I don't know what I did to deserve such an awesome site. It's just fantastic. Looking it over, I actually had tears in my eyes. No kidding. I've been in the business for 10 years and this is the first time people have noticed my work and have begun to support me. I mean, yeah, I get comments on the street like, “Are you an actor?” or "Hey, I just you on TV last night." or "You look familiar. Have we met?" But this is the first time someone has really taken the time, noticed the work I’ve put in and done this sort of thing. Kelly, what can I say, you're just awesome. And like you said on your site; “A friend for life.”

And to top it off, I've got Stephanie from all the way across the Atlantic Ocean, in Germany, building a site for me. Incredible!

And to top that off, I've got all of you who read this board and post here, all supporting me. I'm awed by all of you.

Well, you probably have been wondering what’s been going on. I've just finished doing another episode of Charmed as Belthazor. The show is called, "Black as Cole." And let me tell you, it will be an episode that you will not forget. I promise you. It’s supposed to air on November 15. So, grab your popcorn and hold on because it's going to be a wild ride.

Currently, I'm working on the Dana Carvey film, "Master of Disguise". I'm the right-hand man to the lead bad guy who played by Brent Spiner. He was on Star Trek - Next Generation. Yesterday I had a really good scene with Dana that turned out really well. I heard through the grapevine that Dana and the producers really like what I'm doing and they what to do a lot more fun stuff with me in the film. They liked the fact that I'm so big and scary, compared to Dana who’s a lot smaller than me. It's a good contrast. On my first day on the set, Dana comes over to me, sees how big I am and turns to the producers and director and says, “Good casting.” Pretty funny. I’m having a great time and the film should be out, I think, in the summer.

So, what else is happening… Well, I booked a play. I didn’t come from a theatre background so this is going to be good for me. It’s an original play called, “Doing Judy.” It’s a comedy about a cop who has to go undercover as a “Drag Queen” to find the person who’s been murdering Judy Garland impersonators. I’m the cop’s partner, “Lucky”, who gay. But the twist is, I’m a gay cop who is “butch” and into leather but homophobic against “Drag Queens” and the real effeminate gays. In the end, I have to go undercover as a Drag Queen to save my partner. (You know, “what goes around, comes around”, sort of thing.) The play is really funny and I’m looking forward to the challenge. We open January 19th and it will run for 8 weeks at the Matrix Theatre in Hollywood. Because I work a lot in film and television, I have an understudy, just in case I can’t make a performance.

Oh, and here is the best news of all. My wife and I are going to have another baby! Well… she’s going to have it; I’m just going to watch. Right now she has morning sickness, so she's not happy. She keeps saying, “This is your fault.” I’m like, “What… What'd I do?” It’s due in April/May and we don’t care what it is, just as long as it’s healthy.

Again thanks your support. No matter what happens in the future I hope we will always stay in contact. You guys have made my life as an actor that much more special.

This is Michael Bailey Smith. You know, the big guy who plays "Belthazor" and that funky demon "Shax."

I would like to thank Kelly for making me aware of this site and allowing me access. You're awesome! And also thanks to that crazy girl in Germany, Stephanie. She created those cool wallpapers that are great! Plus, all of you who have posted cools things about my work. Its nice that someone notices your work sometimes.

Well, I've been very fortunate lately. I just booked another movie. It's called, "Master of Disguise" and it stars Dana Carvey. I've playing the lead Henchman who is not the smartest tool in the shed. I think it's going to be pretty funny. At least I hope. I start working on it tomorrow.

The great part is that it works out with my schedule. I'm slated to go back on Charmed October 10th through the 19th and the film works perfectly around that.

I haven't been on the Charmed for the past several weeks and I kind of miss it. The make-up FX are not that fun but the cast and crew are great. When I go back it's like seeing old friends.

Thanks again for everything and now that I have access, I'll try to post more often.
