Thanks for the good wishes on the nomination. If I win it will be my fourth PGG. I'm sorry I haven't written lately. I`ve been pretty busy. I did a film in Barcelona, Spain in February called "53 Days of Winter". I`m shooting at the moment a film called "The Heart Of The Hearth" in which I play one of the leads. We are having a great time. The cast is great and a lot of fun. Some of the actors are: Catalina Sandino, Sienna Guillory, Bernard Hill and Phillip Winchester.It takes place in the south of Spain in the Rio Tinto Mines and the action takes place between 1888 and 1903.

My next two projects will be shot in Spain and Bulgaria and it`s nice to be close to my kids who live nearby in Portugal. Any days I have off I hop on the plane to spend time with them. I hope all is well with you and I`d like to send a big hug to all the fans.

All the best

Yes, I became today an American citizen. The family is good and I´m on my way to Mexico to shoot a film with Paul Walker and Lawrence Fishbourne. I`ll be the main villain for a change. From there to Spain to do a picture with, among others, the lovely Alicia Silverstone.

Before the shooting starts in Spain I`m stopping at two Film Festivals - Ourense and Malpensa to get a career award.

Well keeping busy as you can see! Till soon.

My Best,

Hello!

I´m finishing the last episode of Wanted and I´ll be on my way to Lithuania to portray the role of Archbishop Romero, who was assassinated in his native EL Salvador. Then I'll be in an ABC film about the life of the late Pope John Paul II.

From there to Portugal to spend some time with my kids.

That` s all for now!

Hello!

I just took three weeks to be with my kids in Portugal and I`m now back in LA to start shooting Episode 8 of Wanted on Tuesday.

In this series I play the captain of an undercover squad that goes after the 100 most wanted criminals in the LA county. I`n not in every episode. Part of the reason is because I wanted an agreement that allowed me to be able to take time to see my kids and do what I love most: films.

I may have more news in the near future...

Thank you all again!

All My Best,

Joaquim

Hello!

I`ll be spending the holidays with my kids in Portugal and then take them for a ten day trip to the beautiful beaches in the northern part of Brazil.

Some updates:

This year after 24, I played the role of "Father Sanchez" in the upcoming independent film "The Celestine Prophecy" directed by Armand Mastoianni and based on the James Radfield book. We shot in Florida during the spring. From there I played the father of the lead in another independent film also shot in Florida, "Thanks to Gravity" written and directed by Jessica Kavana.

I spent the summer in Portugal and Brazil with my family and had time to be in a Spanish film,"Posdata" directed by Rafael Escolar.

Since I came back to LA, I played the captain of an undercover criminal aprehension squad in LA in a TV Pilot for TNT called "Rush". If it`s picked up we will start shooting in March.

Thank you for the beautiful site and I also would like to thank all the fans that chat on it.

I don`t have any pictures yet from the last shows but as soon as I get any I`ll send them to you.

My best regards,
Joaquim De Almeida
