The Lamp synopsis:
Suffering from the loss of his only child, Stanley (Jason London) has secluded himself to a dark and lonely place. Sullen and without hope, he continues to hide from and neglect those he loves despite their attempts to reach out to him.
In what seems to be the final days of their already strained marriage, his wife Lisa (Meredith Salenger) is presented with a strange gift: an old oil lamp from a far off land. Along with the lamp comes a mysterious messenger (Lou Gossett, Jr.) and a question that causes them to search the depths of their hearts for what’s truly important in life.
If you could have anything you wanted, what would YOU ask for?”
The Lamp is a story of discovering what is truly important in life and how you can get it.
About the actors:
Jason London made his film debut in Robert Mulligan’s The Man in the Moon in 1991. But it was his role as quarterback Randall “Pink” Floyd” alongside Matthew McConaughey and Ben Affleck, in the 1990’s cult favorite Dazed and Confused that helped launch his career. This marked the beginning of many diverse films, including the hilarious but sensitive film To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar, with Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, Jon Leguizamo and Stockard Channing, Fall Time (David Arquette & Stephen Baldwin), All Roads Lead Home (Peter Coyote and Peter Boyle), A Golden Christmas with Andrea Roth and a string of others. An established actor, in addition to his feature film work London also appears regularly on television, TV-movies and miniseries. Currently London is filming The Lamp with Meredith Salenger, L. Scott Caldwell, Cameron ten Napel, Muse Watson and Lou Gossett, Jr.
Meredith Salenger’s first role was at 10-years-old in the feature film Annie, directed by the late great John Huston. But it was her portrayal of the tomboyish Natty Gann in the Disney film, The Journey of Natty Gann (with John Cusack) that put her on the radar. The Journey of Natty Gann went on to win the Gold Award at the Moscow Film Festival and garnered Meredith Best Actress in A Drama at the Youth In Film Awards. Meredith then went on to star opposite River Phoenix in A Night In The Life of Jimmy Reardon and with the infamous Corey’s in the hit 80’s film Dream A Little Dream. Meredith then went to pursue her education, graduating cum laude with a degree in Psychology from Harvard University and 4 years later returned to Hollywood to resume her acting career going on to play some of her most memorable parts of the past few years – including sheriff Sharon Gare, in the cult classic Lake Placid, (Bill Pullman, Bridget Fonda & Betty White), alongside Ben Affleck & Luke Wilson in The Third Wheel, My Best Friend’s Wife with John Stamos & Daniel London, & 2009’s Disney hit movie Race to Witch Mountain with Dwayne Johnson and Garry Marshall, as Natalie Gann no less as a sweet homage to the company that put her on the map. Last year, Maxim magazine rated her as the #1 hottest actress of the 80’s. Meredith currently lends her voice talent to George Lucas’ animated series The Clone Wars and will be heard in this season’s Robot Chicken along side Seth Green. She is currently filming The Lamp with Jason London, L. Scott Caldwell, Cameron ten Napel, Muse Watson and Lou Gossett, Jr.
Sarah Brown made her national television debut in the popular children’s series VR Troopers and then went on to win three Emmys for her role as troublemaker “Carly Benson” on General Hospital. Other television credits include The Lyon’s Den (NBC), L.A. Dragnet (ABC), Strong Medicine (Lifetime), Cold Case (CBS), The Closer (TNT), K-Ville (FOX) and Lifetime original movies It Was One of Us and The Perfect Husband: The Laci Peterson Story. She made her big screen debut as “Constance” in Big Momma’s House 2 (Martin Lawrence, Nia Long, Emily Porter & Zachary Levi). In 2008 Sarah returned to General Hospital in the newly created role of mobster “Claudia Zacchara.” She exited GH and joined The Bold & The Beautiful as “Sandy Sommers” in November 2009.
