Spring 2002
Our 2 Year Anniversary!
We are celebrating our second anniversary
of being on line! The Totally Steven site
is happy to be celebrating our anniversary
this month. Even though SC fans have been
around for several years now, and we have
been enjoying our webbiness on line through
the mailing list since 1999, "The Totally
Steven!" site has been in existence 2 years
this month and we want to thank everyone
who has had a hand in making this possible.
We want to thank the Webbies, the SC fans and those special friends that have
helped us with their unwavering support, creative talents and information month
after month. We would not be here without you.
Most of all we want to thank the incredible Mr. Culp for the gracious treatment
towards his fans, his unmeasurable talent and wonderful personality, that makes
it so easy for all of us to be his fans. We are truly proud to be able to pay
tribute to such a talented and classy man.
To celebrate our anniversary we have created various games for fans to play and
win prizes! So make sure to look for them in this newsletter. This is our small
way to say thanks to the fans and give everyone a chance to test their Webbiness
and SC knowledge.
Note from Mr. Culp
Shortly after our last newsletter was posted, we received a note from Mr. Culp,
thanking the fans for the Christmas gift we all sent him. This was posted on the
list at the time it was received, but we felt it was important enough to post it
on the newsletter as well.
"My thanks to all the Webbies for yet another wonderful Christmas present.
Donating money and gifts to needy families and foster children- This is the
best kind of gift you could give. It makes me proud to have such generous fans.
All the best to you.
Steven Culp
Thank you to Mr. Culp for his kind words. We are proud to be fans of such a
talented, truly nice and classy man.

Crossing Jordan
By Sandra Martinez
Medical examiner Jordan Cavannaugh approaches the
detective that is kneeling on the floor checking
the body of a 'jumper'. He has dark brown hair,
wears a black leather jacket. Could it be him? Nah.
Detective Rick Frazier looks up and smiles. A lock
of hair on his face, beard and a goatee??!! No way!
Is that really him? To the fans' surprise and delight,
it was indeed our very own Steven Culp! And what a
commotion his new look caused among the fans. Fans
almost forgot about what the story was about or what
a great job Steven did as a Boston police detective.
All the talk on line was about the way he looked. The photo even made it on a JAG
bulletin board: "Is this Steven Culp?". The new, very sexy, look was well received
by the fans. Many of them hope to see it again.
The episode "Four Fathers" was well done. It was your typical unexpected
suicide that turns into a who did it murder mystery. Steven as detective
Frazier works with Jordan to solve and apprehend the suspect of the crime.
Things get complicated when the suspect is the son of a 'mafia' man who
has been harassing and threatening Jordan's father. (A retired cop)
Steven is very good in this role. He has the
perfect 'cop' attitude and the new look adds
to a 'naughty boy' physical appearance that is
very different from most of the roles we have
seen Steven in, especially Clayton Webb.
Detective Frazier and Jordan work together at
the end in a little 'devious' plan that gets
the innocent man accused of the murder out free
and at the same time manage to get the 'mafia'
guy off of Jordan's father's back.
By the end of the episode we see Frazier and his cop friends
going to the bar of Jordan's father to celebrate the opening
on this new establishment.
Steven was perfect in this role; you'd think that playing a sexy
leather clad cop is something he does all the time. But then that
is the reason why he is such a good actor; he makes every role look
natural and easy. What I found interesting with this role is that
even though he is very good in it, it was his "new look" that grabbed
most of the attention, it almost overshadowed his work on the show.
All the fans could talk about was the facial hair, the smiles, and
that leather jacket! But no matter how you look at it, the fact
remains that Steven is still getting all of our attention one way
or another, and that is always a good thing.
What the fans said
"I agree......I loved the goatee....very sexy! He had a great part! I'd really
loved to see him get his own series."
"Oh different look of Steven :) He was so very sexy :) And leather???? WOW."
"He was totally cool :) Loved this character."
"WOW did SC look hot tonight or what? I usually do not like men with facial
hair, did not like SC's look much in "Nurse Betty" because of the beard/gotee
he had, but tonight?? WOW! He looked incredibly good in a "bad boy" sort of way."
"I loved him wearing that leather jacket."
"He was excellent. Those eyes, beard, smile, voice....you don't get any better
than that. That is definitely my favorite non-JAG tv show that he's been in.
Great job, Steven!"
"WOW! what a feast for my eyes! I think the pause button is worn out on my remote."
"Man O Man did he look good tonight!!"
"I would like to point out, that last night right about the time Crossing Jordan
aired with our sexy Steven on, we started having several earthquakes in So. Ca.
The first one, right on time for his first scene was about a 4.2 It is still
shaking from time to time, and I think it is all SC's fault for looking so good,
California Webbies just lost it and the earth started to shake!"
"Star Trek"
"Star Trek: Nemesis" is scheduled to open Dec 20, 2002.
We are all looking forward to the appearance SC will make in the movie.
"The Practice"
By Carol Preflatish
Steven Culp fans were treated on February 24 to his
guest appearance on the ABC series, The Practice. The
episode, entitled “Man and Superman,” was about a
schizophrenic mental patient, Bill, who thinks he
is Superman. While unstitutionalized, Bill causes
the death of another man by landing on him in an
attempt to fly.
The wife of the victim files a lawsuit against the
hospital. Steven portrays the hospital’s attorney,
Aldridge. Bill’s wife asks the firm’s Jimmy Berlute,
an old friend of theirs, to represent her and Bill.
They meet with the hospital administrator and the attorney
about the incident. Aldridge tells them that the hospital
wants to shift responsibility from themselves to Bill. He
explains that on the day Bill fell, his wife had just told
him she wanted a divorce. They claim he jumped trying to
commit suicide.
The law firm decides to counter-sue the hospital on Bill’s
behalf. They present this to the judge, who accepts the
claim. During a recess before the actual hearing begins,
Aldridge comes up to Berlute and his co-counsel and tries
to intimidate, possible even threaten them by saying, “You
need to understand, Dr. Gorman is a compassionate man who
gets paid to care about Bill. I’m not.” Great line delivery
by Steven.
Later during a conference in the judge’s chambers, Aldridge
explains to Berlute and the others that if Bill testifies,
he will treat him like any other witness. Berlute turns to
the judge and asks if Aldridge is threatening him. The judge
answers him by saying that Aldridge was warning him. Back in
the courtroom during the questioning, Aldridge informs Bill
on the witness stand that his wife wants to marry someone else.
Bill becomes very confused. Next, they are the closing arguments.
This is one review where I am not going to reveal the ending. The Practice
is an excellent show and this episode was one of their best. The ending was
both surprising and emotional.
Fans loved seeing Steven play an attorney again, and again we were not
disappointed with his performance. He made each scene believable and
interesting. His delivery of lines was perfect and I loved the sly way
he always got his points across. I know many fans would love to see
Steven as an attorney in his own weekly series.
What did the fans have to say?
"Just wanted to say that SC did a great job, as always,
on the Practice tonight. He looked great too!
"Ohhh that was an interesting case. Steven looked nice.
I really liked his Wardrobe! like it when he plays a lawyer."
"Another job well done, but I am still thinking of him with
that beard in Crossing Jordan, oh my."
"Steven is good playing attorneys, very believable."
"I did not really care for this episode, but watching Steven was worth it."
"I love "The Practice", always wanted to see SC in it, so I
am a happy camper!"
"I was wondering if SC was going to be the one playing Superman.
Imagine SC in tights? Too bad it was not meant to be, but he
looked hot in his suit anyway."

Webbies Paradise
By Sandra Martinez
Every Webbie would have been in heaven. Fun espionage gadgets
and interesting historical information. I am talking about
the "Spies" exhibition at the Ronald Reagan Library and
Museum in Simi Valley, California. The exhibition covered
the world of espionage from the first spy, Nathan Hale (1776)
to the latest operative to die in the line of duty, Mike
Spann (2002).
The exhibition contained lots of historical information (The
first female spy was Belle Boyd, a confederate spy), to
interesting gadgets (Nazi Germany's Enigma Cipher machine),
to interesting tales, (Years ago, the Soviets presented the
American Ambassador to the USSR a wooden plaque carved with
the Great Seal of the United States - It contained a bugging
device inside!), to anecdotes (the President's drivers kept
getting lost when going to the CIA headquarters, until in the
1950's the first identifying sign was finally placed in front
of the building)
The exhibition also had a section dedicated to the movies vs
real life. There were posters, scripts, photos, props from
famous spy shows, such as: "James Bond, 007", "The Avengers",
"Mission Impossible", "Get Smart", "I Spy" and others. (Ok, so
the exhibition was not complete! Where is the stuff about the
best spy ever? Clayton Webbb!)
