Moon Bloodgood, others fill cast of Spielberg's alien-invasion pilot
Moon Bloodgood, Jessy Schram, Seychelle Gabriel and Maxim Knight have joined Noah Wyle on TNT's untitled alien invasion pilot from executive producer Steven Spielberg, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Bloodgood was most recently seen as a rebellious pilot in Terminator Salvation and a cop on USA Network's Burn Notice. Here's what the trade paper reported:
The project, written by Robert Rodat from an idea he conceived with Spielberg, is set shortly after aliens have wiped out most of the human population and centers on a ragtag group of soldiers and civilians led by widower Tom Mason (Noah Wyle) who struggle against the occupying alien force.In the pilot, directed by Carl Franklin, Bloodgood, Schram, Gabriel and Knight all play members of the group.
Bloodgood will play Anne Glass, a therapist working with the children to help them with the trauma of the alien invasion. With her strength and dry sense of humor, Anne, whose husband died during the invasion, becomes a bedrock of the survivors' community and Tom's confidant.

I enjoyed Terminator Salvation more than most people seem to, but one thing I didn't care for was the atrociously-named Moon Bloodgood. She seemed to over do it.
And what's with the casting of weirdly-named actors? Seychelle? Maxim? Is this the casting director's idea of a joke? :)

You're kidding, right? Making fun of people's NAMES?
What grade are you in, dude? 3rd?

Moon Bloodgood is an awesome name. That's like the name Conan's witch whore would have in Hyboria. The Commentors on this site can whine about the lamest stuff.

BJ, Moon Bloodgood isn't a real name, just like Hyborian witch-whores aren't real. It's fine if it really was a fantasy name, but it's the name of a real, live actress who seems to think it isn't silly to walk around with the name Moon Bloodgood.
By the way, I was commenting more on Bloodgood's performance in Terminator Salvation, but it would require someone who has even slight reading comprehension skills to get that.
And, Chris (see, that's the correct way to spell the name), you really think Seychelle (seriously, "seashell"?) and Maxim aren't silly names? That's like being named Motto.

Bloodgood is doing the job it was intended to do. It's gotten you guys talking about her.
