PIPER PERABO FILMING "COVERT AFFAIRS" IN TORONTO

Piper Perabo & Mr. Will-W.

Piper Perabo just about wowed all of us when she received a Golden Globe Award nomination for her work on USA Network Spy-series Covert Affairs earlier this year. Despite some of her earlier work only showcasing a bit of her range as an Actress, including sleeper hit Coyote Ugly and Cheaper by the Dozen, it would appear that she finally has landed herself that plum career-defining role.

Perabo who filmed the first season of Covert Affairs in Toronto last Summer, has been in and around town since March working on its second season.  Filming is scheduled to wrap mid-October.

Just recently the set for Covert Affairs was brought to the Financial District after having been in-studio much and the Actress was spotted out-and-about with her Assistant Director. Being in a bit of a rush, she zipped through a group picture with Fans, telling them "Thank you for being so understanding", as she curtailed face time and rushed back to her Trailer.  An insider tells me, "Piper's had a really brutal week and a long day.  Today hasn't been the best for her", explaining her intense focus at the time.

THE O.C.'S PETER GALLAGHER SPOTTED IN TORONTO

The O.C. fans will find comfort in knowing that veteran actor Peter Gallagher, who played Sandy Cohen on the popular Teen Drama series, is already at work on a new project.  Gallagher has been in Toronto since April filming Spy series Covert Affairs, which also stars Coyote Ugly's Piper Perabo, who although lovable has struggled to carve a niche in film.  The show premiered on USA Network just two weeks ago and production is scheduled to continue until the end of August.

Gallagher was seen in Yorkville with a male friend earlier this evening walking eastbound to grab a bite.  He was shocked that people recognized him and had items for him to autograph, thus stopping for a moment to pose for photos and autographs.  His friend joked what an attractive young man he once was, as Gallagher signed an older photo of himself.  

The actor will be appearing in two big releases later this year including Burlesque alongside Christina Aguilera and Cher, plus the eagerly anticipated Oscar contender Conviction starring Sam Rockwell and Hilary Swank.  Busy Man.
