Thanks to Suzettemonpetite, we have a little more information on Jane By Design:

I found some info on the series – actually called Jane by Design.  Oded’s character is named Beau.  Here’s a link to the episodes.  There is a synopsis of each – you can see the ones Beau appears in.

FOG! interviewed Oded Fehr back in October, about Super Hybrid and his career. Oded mentioned that he is recurring in something called Jane By Design, which according to Wikipedia, is is set to premiere on January 3, 2012.

Israeli-born Oded Fehr first captured the attention of movie audiences in 1999 as Ardeth Bay in The Mummy. He followed that with a memorable appearance in Deuce Bigelow, Male Gigolo that same year and a career was born.

Fehr has appeared in such films as The Mummy Returns, Texas Rangers, Resident Evil: Apocalypse and Resident Evil: Extinction. On television he’s co-starred on such series as V, Sleeper Cell, UC: Undercover, Charmed, and most recently, Covert Affairs. Fehr has also done a significant amount of voice-over work, with work on Justice League:Unlimited, American Dad!, Batman:The Brave and The Bold and Young Justice.

His latest film, Super Hybrid, was released on DVD and Blu-ray today from Anchor Bay Entertainment. Oded took some time to talk to me about the film and his upcoming work.

 What drew you to Super Hybrid?

I think that, you know, Super Hybrid is very much a genre movie, and it’s not necessarily my genre, but it’s something that I can appreciate.  And, when I read it, I wasn’t sure about it.  The script was also still in its earlier stages, so I went for a meeting with Oliver Hengst and Elizabeth Wang-Lee, and Eric (Valette), the director, and we had one of those great meetings, one of those meetings where you were meeting people that you were going to be friends with for the rest of your life.

We all knew what we had, that it’s a movie that shouldn’t take itself too seriously, and hopefully will be a lot of fun to shoot.  And that’s really what drew me — is the people involved.  We worked together on the script, and made Ray a lot more slimy and annoying, and hopefully succeeded with that.

I watched the film, and what I found very interesting was even though it’s a killer car film, it’s also set in a very claustrophobic environment, the garage.  Was that a challenge not only having a car as a protagonist but also being in a confined area? 

Yeah.  I mean, the confined area was huge.  It was a huge kind of a hangar made out of cement, in Regina, Canada, and it was definitely claustrophobic.  I mean, after a while, you’re going to miss the sun and miss being outside.  The effect that we created while we were filming it there worked well: the darkness, the hard walls, and having all these vehicles driving around at high speeds and so on.  The effect that you feel in the film was very much real.

Unlike other killer car films, like The Car or Christine, the vehicle super-hybrid kind of changes shape and functions in a much more chameleon-like capacity.  Did you find it difficult to act opposite an object, versus another actor?   

Yeah.  You know, it’s always slightly harder, acting opposite an object.  I’m sure there are actors out there who would rather work with an object than with their co-stars.  But that being said, I  didn’t encounter too much of that in my career, so I’ve been pretty lucky.  It’s hard but my character is more annoying towards everyone else, so I was lucky enough to just work with Shannon (Beckner) and Ryan (Kennedy) and Adrien (Dorval) and so on, and be more annoying towards them.

The car was more scary, and that’s where I had to pretend.  But we all played off each other.

You’ve done television, you’ve done film, you’ve don’t actually a fair amount of animation voice work.  Do you have a preference for what you work in, what area? 

I like it all, and  I love the voice-over work.  That’s kind of picked up a little bit even more in the last few years, and I love doing that.

It means a few things.  It means I don’t have to be away from my family for too long while I’m doing it;  It means that I don’t have to put any make-up on or wear any fancy costume or anything like that, or worry about all the hair, and all the things that are very unnatural for me.

I love the challenge of creating a character by using your voice only.  I’m doing a show right now called Young Justice, which is a show on the Cartoon Network and it’s great fun.  But of course, filming on-screen is phenomenal too.  I like it all.

Your next film, For The Love of Money is the first time in a film that you actually get to play an Israeli?

Yeah.

What was that experience like?

Well, it’s actually funny, because on Covert Affairs I played an Israeli too, a secret agent.  But For The Love of Money is more re-enacting a character, and it’s based on a true story.

It’s very interesting meeting that character’s friends and family and so on, all of them that knew him.

It’s cool.  I like it.  I like playing an Israeli.

The funny thing about it is nobody actually knows that I’m an Israeli actor.

I think very few people do in Israel.  I didn’t start my career there, and I guess when they see the stuff I do, nobody guesses that I’m Israeli, even though my name is Oded.

So it’s kind of fun.  It was kind of fun playing an Israeli character.

I’m Jewish, and when I saw you in The Mummy I realized that, “Oded Fehr’s the toughest Jew in movies.” 

I know.  I know.  Thank you.

What else do you have coming up?  

I’ve got For The Love of Money.  I’m doing Covert Affairs.  I’m actually up in Toronto right now shooting Covert Affairs, and there’s another show that I’m recurring on called Jane by Design, with Andie MacDowell.  I play some kind of a designer, soon-to-be-ex-husband of Andie MacDowell, and that’s kind of fun.

What are you currently geeking out over? 

Oh, I geek out over superheroes and Star Trek and sci-fi movies.  I love the voice-over work that I do.  Basically, it’s a whole bunch of basically like-minded geeks who love those kind of superheroes and stuff like that.  I’m totally into comic books and all that.  So it’s a lot of fun.

Milla Jovovich, the star of the Resident Evil movies, tweeted that Oded Fehr and other returning actors are coming in this weekend to film the newest installment in the film series: Resident Evil: Retribution.

BTW!Sienna Guillory,Oded Fehr & Michelle Rodriguez are coming in THIS WEEKEND to start work on Monday!It’s all happening!

20 hours ago

This is the first I’ve heard about it, and now I’m hoping it’s more than for just flashbacks or some such

According to an interview with the creators of Covert Affairs:

…We had great chemistry between Piper and Oded Fehr, so he’s going to be back in the [winter] premiere. He’s a great actor. … I wouldn’t say it would never [be romantic between them]. You never know.

You can read the full interview here.

That great news but not unexpected I assume the “winter” premiere is the season 3 premiere.

Looks like Oded will be in at least one more episode of Covert Affairs this season!  Yay! 

If you’re like me, you enjoy the dynamic between CIA coworkers Annie and Auggie, sure. But there’s no denying that Agent Walker also “sparks” with Mossad rival Eyal Lavin as well. In fact very much so, as we saw in this season’s second episode. Can fans of Oded Fehr’s spook hope for an encore? The following answer is For Your Eyes Only: “We have at least one more [appearance] planned for him this season,” series cocreator Matt Corman tells TVLine. Why is it that Fehr connects with viewers so? “He brings a real energy and asserting authenticity to the role, because he himself was in the Israeli Navy,” offers Corman. “He has some understanding — at least at a very baseline level — about what it means to be in dangerous situations.”

Spanning over two decades, “For the Love of Money” follows the true account of an Israeli immigrant who searches for his piece of the American dream. The story begins in Tel Aviv in 1973, where a young Isaac is raised in a seedy, gangster filled illegal casino that operates behind his family’s bar. The casino is a haven for unsavory characters who seek to corrupt him to their way of life. When the violence and crime finds its way to him and his family, Isaac (Yuda Levi) and his family relocate to Los Angeles. Hoping to start anew, he pursues his ambitions to become a young entrepreneur by developing small businesses, purchasing real estate, and running an auto repair shop. Success seems to find him at every turn and after falling in love with the beautiful Aline (Delphine Chaneac), luck seems to be on his side. However, it isn’t long before the world of crime that Isaac tried to escape so long ago continues to doggedly follow him every step of the way. Threatened by a dangerously temperamental gangster (James Caan), his criminal cousin (Oded Fehr), and even a Colombian drug lord (Steven Bauer), Isaac finds that starting fresh with a clean slate is all but impossible. As those close to him fall victim to the promises of quick money by the way of the gun, violence surrounds Isaac until he has no choice but to confront it. “For the Love of Money,” is a true story of crime, family, love, loss, and the temptations of easy money, based upon the life of executive producer Isaac Shomof.

From the FaceBook info tab:

A tale told over two decades of a young Israeli immigrant who got his piece of the American dream.

First seen in Tel Aviv in 1973, young Isaac works in the illegal casino run from the back of his family’s bar. It’s a hangout for local gangsters and the family’s fate is sealed as this seedy underbelly of society seems to find them wherever they go.

A true tale of friendship, family and triumph of the human spirit, Isaac’s story shows us that anything is possible if you do what’s right and follow your instincts.

This is a bit of news that personally excite me like crazy: my the favorite male actor, Oded Fehr, joins a favorite tv universe of mine: V! Feels like it’s my birthday!

Here’s the article:

IGN has learned an exciting bit of casting news for ABC’s alien invasion series, V. Known from the blockbuster Mummy and Resident Evil film franchises, actor Oded Fehr is joining up as part of the Season 2 rebellion.

Fehr will play Eli Cohn, a leader in a new radical Fifth Column resistance movement whose hard-line stance against the Visitors poses a special new challenge for our core group of rebels, played by Elizabeth Mitchell (“Erica”), Joel Gretsch (“Jack”), Morris Chestnut (“Ryan”) and Charles Mesure (“Hobbes”).

IGN had a chance to speak to Scott Rosenbaum, executive producer and showrunner of V, about this new character. “He is ex-Mossad, and one of the interesting things that we’re doing with the show this year is that we’re introducing a group of Fifth Column which is much more radical than our group,” Rosenbaum told us. “And essentially they have a much different philosophy than our main team does. Eli’s philosophy is, ‘We need to attack now, strike now and start this war now,’ rather than wait.”

Rosenbaum explained that our heroes, because they’re so outnumbered, are more of the mind of waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike and then deliver a knockout punch. “Oded’s character Eli actually knows a lot more about what the Visitors are up to than our team does,” he said. “And what he’s learned is that the longer we wait to fight the more we play into Anna and the Visitors’ hands, because everything she’s doing is a Trojan Horse. The Blue Energy is a gift, but really it’s just to get us all stuck on Blue Energy so they can turn it off.” Rosenbaum said Erica will have to decide whether her team can get along and join up with Eli to become one united front, or if she’ll have to take him down for being too extreme in his methods.

Apparently, Erica and Eli also share a mysterious, connecting, secret. “Erica does not want collateral damage, but over the course of the arc maybe she’ll come to learn that he’s not much different than she is,” Rosenbaum revealed. “She’s also going to find, and I can’t tell you what it is, a very shocking reveal. The two of them have something in common that she never would have guessed.”
