First Look: KINGDOM on DirecTV

DIRECTV released a long (NSFW (language)) trailer / preview for their new show KINGDOM (premieres Oct 8, 9PM on the Audience Network) today for your viewing pleasure.  A cast featuring Matt Lauria and Jonathan Tucker (two MToT favorites, not to mention Amber Holt love interests), along with Nick Jonas, Frank Grillo, Joanna Going, and Kiele Sanchez, it looks dark and gritty, and 100% what I’ll need to soften the blow of SOA heading off into the sunset this season!  Check

Peri Gilpin Talks Lifetime Network and ‘What Do You Do After Roz?”

I loved Peri Gilpin (Roz) on NBC’s Frazier.  So, you can   imagine my excitement when she called me from  LAX to discuss one of her latest projects, Lifetime Network’s The Choking Game. The Choking Game Gilpin tells me, “I play Heidi, a remarried mom who can now afford to stay home.  She’s a good mom, very conscientious.  And, since she never had the choice to stay home and raise her daughter before, she’s making up for  lost time.  But,

Previewing GRACELAND with Jamie Gray Hyder

Season 2 of GRACELAND has found Johnny undercover and maybe in over his head as he deals with the brother/sister team of Carlito (Erik Valdez) and Lucia (Jamie Gray Hyder).  As more details about their past and their current interests continue to come to light, I spent time chatting with Lucia herself about what it was that drew her to the role, what we can expect to see going forward, and ultimately, what her time on TRUE BLOOD meant to

Catherine Dent Teases GANG RELATED and Lifetime project GUILTY AT 17

How far would you go to support a friend?  Would you lie?  Would you lie about a teacher?  Would you accuse that teacher of sexual harassment just to keep that friend?  What would you do if that teacher then committed suicide?  Would you feel guilty? That’s the slant of Lifetime network’s Guilty at 17, which stars Erin Sanders (Eden Baldwin on The Young and the Restless).  With Baldwin in the cast is Catherine Dent (Gang Related, The Shield). I recently

The futuristic Extant has Berry returning from a year-long mission in space, where she’s left behind a dark secret.

Abhi Sinha talks CHASING LIFE and what he hopes to see for Danny

In tonight’s all new episode of CHASING LIFE (9/8c on ABC Family), Dominic and April are forced to reveal some secrets after a really interesting trip to a psychic!  The show has been firing on all cylinders and I find myself completely head over heels for it, a fact that I let Abhi Sinha (CHASING LIFE’S Danny) know when we spent some time chatting about the show late last week! What a great show!  I am kind of unhealthily addicted to

Sinqua Walls previews the fallout of POWER’s latest episode

Starz’ latest hard hitting drama POWER aired episode 4 Saturday night (“Who Are You?”) with reveals that promise an even more emotional and dramatic rest of the season.  One man dealing with the aftermath is Sinqua Wall’s Shawn, having gotten more than little eyeful of Naturi Naughton’s Tasha. To celebrate the continuing tension of the show, Sinqua spent some time chatting with me about why POWER was right for him, where the already-renewed-for-season-two drama goes next (“people gotta die”), and what he

Antonio Jaramillo Snags Guest Spots on GANG RELATED and DALLAS

Antonio Jaramillo will have his hands full this TV season playing on not one, but two, of television’s most anticipated dramas. Childhood Loyalties On June 19, Jaramillo introduces Beto to audiences of Fox’s Gang Related and portrays the character through a two-episode arc.  I spent a few moments on the phone with Jaramillo and got some insight into the role.  “I play a guy named Beto, a childhood friend of Ryan Lopez (Ramon Rodriguez) who’s willing to risk his life

FALLING SKIES’ Scarlett Byrne gives us the scoop on Season 4

The FALLING SKIES season 4 premiere is tonight on TNT at 10/9c and without giving too much away, Lexi is going to look a little bit different than you might remember.  Cast newcomer Scarlett Byrne stepped into the role of Anne and Tom’s rapidly aging little girl, and she and I spent some time chatting about what’s to come in Season 4. What did you know about FALLING SKIES before you go involved – what was the process of becoming
