Article in Aussie paper about Amber Clayton's Hollywood tv break
Australian newspaper, The Herald Sun, published this quick article about Amber Clayton joining the cast of Three Rivers.
Melbourne's Amber Clayton gets Hollywood TV break
by Fiona Byrne
MELBOURNE actor Amber Clayton has landed her first regular TV role as the main female character in a new American drama series.
The 28-year-old South Yarra resident will leave this week for Los Angeles, after landing the role in the eagerly anticipated medical drama Three Rivers.
Aussie actor Alex O'Loughlin has been cast as the male lead in the series.
Clayton was working as a psychologist before turning to acting three years ago.
"I worked in mental health for three years, but I have always had a passion for acting and I always wanted to be an actor," Clayton said.
"I decided it was now or never, so I went to New York in 2005 to study at the Lee Strasberg Institute."
The cool blonde said she was thrilled but nervous.
"This is just a huge leap for me," she said. "I have done some commercials, some theatre, one low-budget film and I had a guest spot on (Channel 10 drama ) Rush, but they are little things compared to this."
Three Rivers is about the lives of organ donors, the doctors, and organ recipients at a transplant hospital.

Casting scoop: Newcomer scrubs in for 'Three Rivers'
by Rob Owen
Newcomer Amber Clayton has been tapped to play a doctor on CBS's Pittsburgh-set medical drama "Three Rivers."
Clayton will play Lisa, a doc who helps facilitate cases brought in through the ER. She may also be a potential love interest for Dr. Andy Yablonski, played by series star Alex O'Loughlin. The role is billed as recurring and could become a series regular.
Meanwhile, construction continues on the Three Rivers Center for Transplant Medicine set at Paramount Studios in Hollywood. The wall between two adjoining soundstages was broken down to make way for a huge hospital set that I'll report from during press tour on July 31.
"Three Rivers" premieres on CBS on Oct. 4.

TV Squad Previews Three Rivers
The folks at TV Squad have gotten a sneak peek at several of the new shows scheduled for CBS this Fall. One of those is Three Rivers. I will share Allison's opinion of it here. To read about all the shows, follow the link below.
TV Squad previews CBS's new shows
by Allison Waldman
Generally speaking, CBS had a strong 2008, developing one bona fide hit drama -- The Mentalist -- even though shows like The Ex-List never found an audience or a critical plaudit. Ironically, I liked The Ex-List based on the screener I reviewed last summer, so go figure. Sometimes a preview can inform you about a show's potential and sometimes it's just the best it'll ever be.
CBS has shared previews for the new season and we've had a chance to take a look. There are star vehicles for Jenna Elfman, Alex O'Loughlin and Julianna Margulies, which would seem logical based on the success of Simon Baker as The Mentalist. CBS is counting on familiar, popular TV stars to win over audiences. Will the strategy work? It's probably too soon to tell.
Still, we've watch these advance peeks and here are our thoughts -- bearing in mind that things are liable to change before the shows air.
Three Rivers (Sunday at 9:00PM ET)
Premise of the screener: Dr. Andy Yablonski is a dedicated doctor, the leader of the team of surgeons at Three Rivers Center for Transplant Medicine, a prestigious Pittsburgh hospital that specializes in transplants. Working against the clock to save patients, Three Rivers explores not only the doctor's trials, but the lives of organ donors and recipients of the organs, often dealing with questions of ethics and efficacy.
Allison says: Alex O'Loughlin is the centerpiece of Three Rivers, and if fans feel that CBS didn't come through for the star with Moonlight, the network has made every effort to give him a success with this new medical drama. The show is not edgy or caustic in the style of House or Nurse Jackie. Three Rivers is just the opposite. It's earnest and contemplative. It poses ethical questions about transplants, giving the viewpoints of those donating organs as well as those receiving the spare parts. While there's some mention of Dr. Andy's troubled home life in the screener (he's living in a motel instead of his house), the focus of the show is the hospital, the patients and the life or death race to get the transplants done. Considering the quality of this initial offering, as well as the prime Sunday time slot, Three Rivers will have a solid send-off and could very well be an early hit.
