We Shine the Spotlight on GRIMM Star Russell Hornsby
2012-02-03 15:20:00 NBC’s Friday thriller series GRIMM features stories about a young detective Nick Burkhardt, who finds out that he has inherited the ability to see people in their true forms, and not all of them are strictly human. Portraying Nick’s partner, Hank, who is not gifted with the special sight or even the knowledge that such creatures exist, Russell Hornsby has the unique challenge of remembering that his character is unaware of this supernatural world. In an exclusive interview, Russell candidly shared what he thinks of the show’s success and what he likes the most about playing Detective Hank Griffin in GRIMM. Are you surprised by the show’s success and how it has taken off with the television audience? RUSSELL: Yes. Having been working on television for a while, you’re always hoping for a hit, and we got one — I think. [Laughter] And I’m really surprised! I mean, I’m surprised, but I’m not. It’s just great.

We Shine the Spotlight on JANE BY DESIGN Stars Erica Dasher and Andie MacDo
2012-01-17 20:27:00 As noted our article “Hold on Tight, ABC Family’s New Series JANE BY DESIGN Will Steal Your Heart,” the new young adult series starring Erica Dasher is perhaps the most adorable show on television today. The show glows with warmth, charm and infectious humor. The trials and tribulations of a young teen who miraculously lands her dream job and then must find a way to keep it just swept us off our feet. It is in no small part due to the great talents of Erica Dasher and her legendary co-star Andie MacDowell. Playing Jane Quimby and her fashion designer boss Gray Chandler Murray, Erica and Andie are a remarkable team. In their scenes together, one senses Jane and Gray’s mutual respect, affection and genuine desire to make their working relationship strong enough to withstand the devious maneuvering of their common foe, India Jourdain (India de Beauforte). It is a rare treat when so many television shows and films depict employees and their bosses as...

We Shine the Spotlight on CASTLE Star Seamus Dever
2012-01-09 17:24:00 In the ABC drama series CASTLE, Seamus Dever portrays Detective Kevin Ryan, a role which has become more complex as the show explores the inner psyche of who Detective Ryan is beneath his loveable, funny-guy exterior. CASTLE is a cop show that embraces comedy and levity in the most absurd investigations, but which will also delve into the darker side of murder, cop killers, and sociopaths. Sliding seemingly effortless between the agile comedy and finely-tuned drama, Seamus is a chameleon on screen. In an exclusive interview, Seamus shared what drives Ryan and the relationships he prizes above everything else. In your mind, who is Detective Kevin Ryan and what do you think epitomizes who he is in his soul? SEAMUS: Whoa, deep. Wow. I think Kevin Ryan is a nice guy who is always under-estimated about what he really knows. I think he is quiet and I think he is a smart-ass. He grew up with two older sisters, so there’s always been an interesting relationship with o...

We Shine the Spotlight on PERSON OF INTEREST Star Kevin Chapman
2011-12-16 16:38:00 When talking to star Kevin Chapman about his role as Detective Lionel Fusco on PERSON OF INTEREST, one thing becomes quickly clear: he loves every second working on one of primetimes’ hottest new TV shows. Sharing what drew him to the show initially, Kevin did not hesitate to mention it was the high caliber of creators, writers and co-actors that made it so appealing for him. Truth be told, it has become a dream job for him and he feels excited each time he gets a new script. In fact, each episode reads like a page-turning mystery story and he is utterly thrilled to find himself right smack in the middle of it. To work on a show where there is this nearly omnipresent machine that generates numbers corresponding to a person whose life is on the line, is like working in the Land of Oz — and our heroes take turns being the man behind the curtain to save those people’s lives that have entered the cross-hairs of fate. PERSON OF INTEREST is a wonderful twist ...

We Shine the Spotlight on Tonight’s MODERN FAMILY Guest Star Josh Gad
2011-11-23 18:23:00 For the life of any struggling young actor, patience isn’t just a virtue, it’s a necessity. Or at least that’s the number one piece of advice that tonight’s MODERN FAMILY guest star Josh Gad has for anyone wishing to follow in his illustrious footsteps magic foot. “A few years out I was ready to give up and told my mom that I was going to go to law school because I was sick of being rejected,” said Gad. “And just as I’m thinking to myself — what Jewish mother doesn’t love the fact that their son wants to go to law school — she actually started crying and said to me that I’ve put in too much time and effort and she was right. A month later I booked Spelling Bee.” What followed was a roller coaster of ups and downs including a featured role in the Kevin Spacey produced hit poker flick 21, a regular series gig on the short-lived Fox comedy BACK TO YOU and tonight’s guest starring role on MODERN FAMILY that se...

We Shine the Spotlight on THE GOOD WIFE Star Mary Beth Peil
2011-11-11 16:53:00 Since getting her start in television and movies at the not-so-tender age of 43, one might say that actress Mary Beth Peil has spent the better part of the past two decades making up for lost time. How else to explain the fact that when she isn’t busy stealing scenes as Jackie Florrick in THE GOOD WIFE as what the actress herself characterizes as a “Mamma Grizzly” to son Peter Florrick and grand-children Zach and Grace, she can be found on stage eight shows a week belting music from Stephen Sondheim’s Follies. But just what is life like juggling Broadway with one of televisions most addictive dramas and is there any hope that Jackie and daughter-in-law Alicia will ever see eye-to-eye? We recently had the pleasure of catching up with Peil to find out just that. See for yourself after the jump. Having spent the majority of your career in theater what was the impetus for transitioning to film and television? Mary Beth Peil: The first twenty years of my life wer...

2011-11-10 15:30:00 For the hard-working actor, director and producer, Jason Priestley is a man of many talents and he has stretched out his varied career to not only encompass many entertainment career “hats,” but also an array of diverse characters that keeps him busy. Taking a few minutes out of his jam-packed schedule, Jason provided a few candid responses about his morally-challenged, yet highly entertaining character Richard Fitzpatrick in the Canadian comedy series CALL ME FITZ, as well as some brief thoughts on his upcoming appearance in Stephen King’s BAG OF BONES and Syfy’s supernatural thriller series HAVEN. How did you initially learn about CALL ME FITZ and how did you become involved with it? JASON: I was directing a web series for Warner Bros. called THE LAKE and our writers had just worked with Sheri Elwood on DEFYING GRAVITY. They told me about her and this show that she had written. This mythical, genius comedy that Sheri really wanted to get to me. I was both sk...

Halle Berry Custody Battle Casts Spotlight on Child's Best Interests
2011-02-07 22:37:00 Photo by Flickr user Candy_Kirby Actress Halle Berry and her ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry (at left) seemed to be the poster couple for an amicable parenting arrangement for their beautiful daughter Nahla. When they first split, they both said and did everything right about sharing their daughter's life and care. However, "handsome is as handsome does," and lately their situation is looking much less attractive. No one knows the bona fides of either side of this case. Even the reported allegations are vague: she accuses him of being unreliable and unable to be with their daughter without supervision; he accuses her of being emotional and motivated by jealousy, and implies she was sometimes a "missing-in-action" parent. What is especially puzzling is...

Spotlight on goalies after Hawks fall to Islanders 5-3
2010-03-03 05:59:00 Are there any doubters among us? If so, this is the game to point to when the Chicago Blackhawks fail to win the Stanley Cup. The Blackhawks 5-3 loss to the New York Islanders at Nassau Coliseum was a dissapointing return to the NHL schedule for a team with championship aspirations. Positive thinkers will swipe the mess under the rug and point to the encouraging aspects of Tuesday night's loss to an Islanders squad that had dropped 9 of 11 before the Olympic break. The Hawks outshot New York 44-23 and were 2 for 3 on the powerplay. For the majority of two periods, the Blackhawks dominated the slower, smaller team from Long Island. Plus, the disciplined Hawks weren't... |
