The Crash TV series widget

The Crash TV series premieres exclusively on Starz, on Friday, October 17, 2008 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Starring an ensemble cast led by film icon Dennis Hopper, the series looks at the way different lives intersect and collide in the melting pot of LA, and will be quite different from the movie portrayal.

From the producers of the Academy Award-winning Best Motion Picture of 2006, Crash is a provocative new 13-episode drama series premiering on Starz in October. Starring an ensemble cast led by film icon Dennis Hopper, the series looks at the way different lives intersect and collide in the melting pot of L.A.

The drama features a disparate group of Los Angelenos, including maverick record producer Ben Cendars (Dennis Hopper); impulsive cop Kenny Battaglia (Ross McCall); his actress-turned-police officer partner Bebe Arcel (Arlene Tur); frustrated Brentwood mom Christine Emory (Clare Carey); her pre-bust real-estate developer husband Peter Emory (D.B. Sweeney); former gang member-turned-EMT Eddie Choi (Brian Tee); Ben’s street-smart driver Anthony Adams (Jocko Sims); illegal Guatemalan immigrant Cesar Uman (Luis Chaves); and cocky, hot-tempered detective Axel Finet (Nick Tarabay).

With a creative team including writers, directors and producers from movies like Million Dollar Baby and Casino Royale, and premium shows like The Sopranos, The Shield and Deadwood, Crash pulls no punches.

The promoters of the show have provided me with a link to the Crash Widget, that will be periodically updated with content. You can check out the latest on the show below, and grab the embed code, and place on your Facebook, MySpace, etc.
