you guys.
with all this fan love.
and all these sweet inbox messages.
i can’t, y’all, i just CAN’T.
thank you so much for the support and the love, thank you for watching last night (and this morning), thank you for wanting to share your fav moments of the episode on your blogs, thank you for creating so much buzz…thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! i feel like y’all are the kind of fans that will follow me throughout my career, in good choices and bad, from my future critically acclaimed sitcom spin-off Farnsworth, P.I. to my short-lived redux of The Cosby Show co-starring Donald Glover as my Cliff, to my role playing Prince in the musical Prince!
i am feeling both proud of the work, and humbled by your response to it.
i truly appreciate you, fandom. truly.
i don’t know how to show my gratitude beyond the words i have posted in this entry, so to give you something a little more concrete to show how very grateful i am, i am sharing with you a(nother) picture of myself that is quite embarrassing. perhaps what serves as my horror will serve as your day-brightener.
enjoy.
FRINGE - Fans Ask:
Cast do impersonations
FYI: “claire”

ain’t no fandom like a fringe show fandom…
cause the fringe show fandom DON’T STOP!
So these incredible fans got together to send the cast and crew mock awards (called Blue Moon awards, since they think it will be a blue moon before the show ever gets nominated) to show their support and love for the work we at Fringe have done for the past 3+ years. But then, with the money they had left over, they decided to make a donation to Autism Speaks, on behalf of Alt!Astrid and, by association, my sister Sedric, who has been the largest source of inspiration behind my portrayal of the character.
I am so thankful for the love and the appreciation, and so honored to be a part of what has created the Fringe fandom in the first place. I am not a lead character in this show. I do not get very much screen time, and I have no idea if and when that will ever change. But clearly, you guys still see me, and through me you also see a community of people that can seriously benefit from your support and attention and exposure.
This all feels incredibly personal. Thank you so SO much, from my family at home, and my family at work!

Astrid’s lack of backstory has been a sensitive spot for me, and a lot of her fans, for a while now. I am ecstatic to have been a part of the Fringe team from the very beginning, but I have fallen in love with Astrid and I want to see so much more of her. At the same time, it is important for me as an actor to recognize that Fringe is not about Astrid’s character, and that she is on the show to support the bigger story of the three main characters.
I have talked with the writers about what I could expect from Astrid in this fourth season, and while they admitted that they will not be exploring her backstory, they did say that there would be an Astrid-centric episode, and more importantly, that her relationships with the other characters was going to be different in this new Peter-less reality. I can only hope that if Astrid doesn’t get much more to do this season, her own spinoff, Farnsworth P. I. will debut on Fox in the next few years to extremely high praise. And John Noble will guest star.
