>Hi Alex,

>I produced only the first two seasons of Sweating
>Bullets. It was an adventure, shooting first in
>verdant Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, trying to simulate
>the Florida Keys, and then later in the deserts of
>Eilat, Israel.
>
>In both locations we were blessed with great crews and
>excellent actors.
>Both Rob Stewart and Carolyn Dunn were a joy to work
>with.

>The show moved around from country to country because
>of the necessity of co-production funds. The final
>move (to South Africa for the body of the show and to
>Martinique for the beach scenes) was the most
>difficult of all
>and I wisely jumped ship for that part of the cruise.
>In the end, the show lost its CBS deal which was the
>most significant piece of the financing, and had to
>end. I think they hoped to revive it (which is why
>there would be no
>final episode), but the actors had worked three
>difficult years (away from home, working gruelling
>6-day work weeks) and were all ready to move on to
>something else.
>
>I went on to work on several series, including "Secret
>Service" (NBC), "Due SOuth" (CBS), "Eerie, Indiana:
>The Other Dimension" (Fox), and "Codename:Eternity"
>(Warner Bros.), as well as many freelance episodes of
>series,
>including "La Femme Nikita", "Honey, I Shrunk the
>Kids", "Relic Hunter" the Pilot Movie for "Arthur
>Conan Doyle's The Lost World" and many others.
>
>Unfortunately, John David Bland who played Nick's
>sidekick, Ian, in the first series later died.
>Carolyn has worked on various projects in the
>intervening years. Rob Stewart has appeared in guest
>spots on a number of L.A. series for the last few
>years and was one of the series leads in,
>"Peter Benchley's Amazon" a German/Canadian
>co-production that was shot her last year. Ian
>Tracey, who played Spider in the later two seasons,
>stars in an excellent Canadian police drama, DaVinci's
>inquest, which is shot in
>Vancouver.
