FameCrawler : Harvey Keitel

Harvey Keitel and Little Director

Karl Erikson — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 22:11:00 GMT

Don't think that Ptolemy Williams - Gretchen Mol's boy - is the only baby on the "Life on Mars" set. Harvey Keitel also has a little boy and he brought along 4-year-old Roman the other day. Looks like Roman is all comfortable in the director's seat. Perhaps he's got a future in the biz. Harvey, 69, is married to Daphna Kastner.

Gretch Mol Lifts Ptolemy Up

Karl Erikson — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 16:37:00 GMT

Gretchen Mol, 35-year-old star of the ABC series "Life on Mars," was out in NYC the other day, playing with her son, Ptolemy John (13 months). They hung out in a park next to the Hudson River for a while. When Gretchen was on "The View" recently, she said that her husband, Tod Williams, had a schoolmate with the name Ptolemy and so that's where the couple came up with their son's name. It's certainly unique.

If you're not watching "Life on Mars," you're missing out on a great show. I loved the British series, but I have to say that the American version is a very successful translation. You can catch episodes online if you need to catch up. Highly recommended.

Life On Mars With Gretchen Mol's Son

Gretchen Mol, 35-year-old star of the new American version of "Life on Mars," was on the show's set recently when she got a visit from her favorite man, 1-year-old son Ptolemy. Geez, who the hell names their kid Ptolemy? How do you even SAY that? I looked it up in a baby names database and Ptolemy means "Future therapy patient who hates his parents for such a stupid name."

Life on Mars," based on a British series by the same name, debuts October 9 on ABC. It's about a cop who gets hit by a car and suddenly wakes up in 1973. Sounds like it'll be good. I've never seen the original show, but I'll have to find it online. The American version also stars Harvey Keitel, Jason O'Mara, Lisa Bonet, and Michael Imperioli. A hell of a cast.
