A Statement from Lennie James (A.K.A Robert Hawkins)
From the CBS Jericho message boards (http://jerichoboard.cbs.com/):
To the family, friends, and fans of Jericho,I write to you from my home in London utterly staggered by the events of the last week or so. I, along with all the cast and crew from the show, was totally gutted (UK slang for 'very upset') when news came down that our show was cancelled. As has been said by others who have posted here, Jericho was a special time for so many of us. We worked so well together and it was almost effortless, so easy. Don't get me wrong it wasn't all plain sailing, we fought and we argued and some days were best forgotten...But most days, almost everyday on Jericho was a joy. If I had to be as far away from my family, as I had to be to do this job, I could not have picked a finer bunch of people to be with than the cast, crew, writers and producers of this show.
As if that wasn't enough, my luck ran further because I was given the gift of playing Robert Hawkins. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity I was given to bring that man to life. He kept me on my toes and kept me honest. I enjoyed his company so much.
As I say, that was about as much luck as any one actor, any one show, deserved...but no, our luck ran still further. It turns out that we have about the most amazing fans that ever were. Truly your support and passion for Jericho is very humbling. You have stood up when all around you, including myself, gave up. You have reminded all of us involved in this rarefied world of making TV just who we are making it for. You have stopped being veiwing figures and started being individual people who cared, who enjoyed, who were entertained, and who were loyal and committed. You were a great audience and are proving to be more than we ever could have wished for.
As I said I am staggered by your show of strength and just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you. Thanks for watching and thanks for fighting to see more.
JERICHO FANS ARE DA BOMB!
God bless you all
Cheers
Lennie "The Hawk" James

I lost my last post so I will try to rephrase it here I hope it not lose any of the original's passion. This time I will cut to the chase. I tried to figure-out why I liked the show , and what has drawn me to it. Well, after I wrote the post the first time and reading it, apparently in the world that we live in there are questions to be asked and no answers. I felt fellowship with the cast because we are one of them on a basic level. We both did not ask for a world that we not only have no control over, but ont that writes rules as it goes along. In my earlier post I brought the issue of WMDs and how people think about them and deal with the psycological affects. I believe there are some, especially with children. At least there were for me. Notice that through the generations, yes now it is generations, that no one talks about this. I am not even a peacenick, growning up on the south side of Chicago, and having learned a hard lesson that one must defend himself physically first or no one else will. I cannot help to relate to the characters on the show and sympathize with what they must be feeling. They do face an unpredictable furture as do we all any more. They have to deal with death, disloyalty, and selfishness. Moreover they also need to trust one another in the face of slim odds. Maybe in me it does fill a need for comradarie that we all ahare. I hope it shows us ultimately a higher responsibilty to one another and maybe to speak-up and tell our leaders what kind of world we do want, and not have it imposed on us from afar. Who says we cannot reshape our world. What is the alternative? Jericho?
