Lee Pace is featured in a recent Miami Herald article.

The piece begins by focusing on the spiritual journey undertaken a couple years ago by the Pushing Daisies star. He checked into a meditation retreat after he returned from filming The Good Shepherd in London.

How come?

“… probably to detox for the amount I drank while I was in London,” the actor joked. “One of the things that they work on with you there, is that you can let go of anything. You just let it go. You sit there for hours during the day just meditating and being quiet. Your back hurts, you get tired and hungry and the whole point of the practice is you just let it go…

You can really bring that into life. You can let anything go, bad feelings about things, attachment to things that aren’t useful to your life. You can just let it go.”

Many actors are so absorbed in the parts they are playing that they never correlate the roles with their lives. Pace is not one of those. In fact, his role as the magical Ned in ABC’s whimsical Pushing Daisies has accelerated his interest in the meaning behind the words.

Ned can miraculously bring people back to life by the mere touch of his finger.

“I do think I’ve been away from spirituality since I left home at 17,” Pace said. “So now I think I’m coming back to it in a way I hadn’t before. I’d forgotten it’s an important thing to give thought to your morality and how you intend to live your life.”

We’ve provided background on everyone in the Pushing Daisies cast leading up to last night’s series premiere… except for one actor who’s never actually seen on the show.

Jim Dale.

This British thespian is the voice of the narrator. And our Pushing Daisies forum has been filling up with questions about his career.

For starters, Dale actually holds two Guinness World Records: one for having created and recorded 134 different character voices for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix; the other for occupying the first six places in the Top Ten Audio Books of America 2005.

While voiceover work - especially as the reader of Harry Potter audio books - is Dale is best known for, the actor does have an impressive stage and film resume, as well.

He’s appeared in Digby, the Biggest Dog in the World, (and the inspiration behind Ned’s pet’s name on Pushing Daisies) and also enjoyed success as a comic villain in Disney films Pete’s Dragon and The Spaceman and King Arthur.

On stage, Dale has been nominated for four Tony Awards, taking home the trophy for his performance in Barnum.

There was so much to love on the series premiere of Pushing Daisies last night.

From romance to intrigue to comedy to really fun, bright colors, it’s hard to choose our favorite aspect of the show. Fortunately, there’s no need to. We can enjoy it all!

We’d be remiss, however, if we didn’t mention the great music that accompanied many scenes. The man behind this score? James Dooley.

You’ve probably head Dooley’s music before, but never knew it. According to his official website, the composer has been behind the scores on hit films such as Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and The Da Vinci Code.

We look forward to hearing what else he has in store for Pushing Daisies.

Here is great news, Pushing Daisies fans:

Ratings for last night’s premiere episode are in - and they’re huge!

Pushing Daisies premiered to 12.83 million total viewers, dominating in the key demographics. It easily outdistanced the second place show, Deal or No Deal, which attracted 11 millions fans.

If these numbers hold up, looks like we have a major hit on our hands. Go talk about it now on our Pushing Daisies forum.

Wake up, Chuck! Your show is a hit!

When we first heard the series premiere of Pushing Daisies would be called “Pie-lette,” we knew it would be a funny, intelligent, entertaining show.
