ABOUT
(Why "pronounced "kay-oh"?
A) Archie pronounces his last name "kay-oh",
rather than "kow" which is what many people automatically suppose.
It's his name, that's how he pronounces it, and we want all the fans -
and the Academy presenters who open those envelopes - to say it right!
B) "Pronounced" is also an adjective meaning
strongly marked, distinct or noticeable. We think Archie's talent
is very distinct, and will hopefully become noticed more and more!)

for us in early 2007 here!
