Entertainment Editors & Film/Internet Writers

ADVISORY...for Thursday Thursday: see week.  (March 23)

--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)

WHO:     Todd Louiso, who plays the introverted Dick character in
         Touchstone's "High Fidelity," began his career as an intern
         on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" in the film unit, which
         produces the show's commercial parodies.

         Louiso next worked on Academy Award(R)-winning director
         Robert Benton's feature "Billy Bathgate." He formed a
         friendship with the film's screenwriter, Tom Stoppard, which
         led him to produce and direct the short film "The Fifteen
         Minute Hamlet," based on Stoppard's play. The film won the
         New York Comedy Film Festival's award for Best Short and can
         currently be seen on Bravo and the Independent Film Channel.

         Since moving to Los Angeles to launch his film and television
         acting career, Louiso has appeared on James L. Brooks' series
         "Phenom" and in the features "Scent of a Woman," "Apollo 13,"
         "The Rock" and "Jerry Maguire," in which he portrayed the au
         pair.

WHAT:    To celebrate the forthcoming release of Touchstone Pictures'
         "High Fidelity," movies.com hosts a special online chat with
         the film's co-star Todd Louiso.

         In this biting romantic comedy based on the popular Nick
         Hornby novel, Rob Gordon (John Cusack) owns a semi-failing
         record store in Chicago, where he sells music the
         old-fashioned way -- on vinyl. A self-professed music junkie,
         he spends his days at Championship Vinyl with his two
         employees, Dick (Louiso) and Barry (Jack Black). His
         encyclopedic knowledge of pop music is of no help to Rob,
         whose needle skips the love groove when his longtime
         girlfriend, Laura (Iben Hjejle), walks out on him. As he
         examines his failed attempts at romance and happiness, the
         process finds him being dragged kicking and screaming into
         adulthood.
