When Windell Middlebrooks auditioned for the role of Dr. Curtis Brumfield on Body of Evidence (now Body of Proof), he just knew he had blown all hope of ever getting the job. No Time to Prepare He told me, “Normally, I like to get more time than I had to prepare and get ready for an audition, but this time I had no choice. “I had just returned home from Los Angeles in the middle of the night, on the
I had the chance to spend some time chatting with stars of the new series on ABC, HOW TO LIVE WITH YOUR PARENTS (FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE), which premieres tonight at 9:30/8:30c after an all new MODERN FAMILY; SUBURGATORY moves to 8:30/7:30c after an AMAZING all new THE MIDDLE. I enjoyed the pilot on second viewing and found Perkins and Garrett to have an easy charm to them. Check out the video interview for all the details about
When actor Cameron Mathison (All My Children) signed on to star in The Carpenter’s Miracle, he got more than he bargained for. Another Perspective Mathison, well-known for his charm and leading-man good looks, spent some time discussing choices with director Kristoffer Tabori. He told me, “We spent a lot of time doing readings, chatting, and talking. I was playing the character with a lot of myself in the role.” Tabori changed all that. He helped Mathison to see that he
Joseph Julian (JJ) Soria is really making a name for himself in Hollywood these days. He is now a series regular, starring as Private First Class Hector Cruz, in Lifetime’s Army Wives, now in its seventh season. It’s Not Over ‘Til It’s Over As I speak with Soria in North Carolina, I learn that Hector’s relationship with Gloria (Alyssa Diaz) just may not be over. (For those who watch the show, the couple is on the verge of divorce). Soria
In his own words, Al Sapienza tells me, “I made my mark in The Sopranos a long time ago, so people think of me as a hood. You know, I have that Mafia look and name.” His role as Marty Spinella in House of Cards breaks that mold. Sapienza’s A Good Guy As I speak with Sapienza, he is shooting Person of Interest, on which he has a recurring role as Detective Terney. He’s also starring with Kevin Spacey on
This season on SUBURGATORY, we’ve gotten to see the Werner marriage take a turn for the worse as new baby Opus did anything but bring Noah and Jill together. Somewhere along the line, Noah realized his heart belonged to someone else. After his most recent (and totally epic) play for housekeeper Carmen fell flat, and with the divorce being finalized, Noah’s out on the rebound in tonight’s all new episode, living it up in style at the swankiest hotel in
Of all the things about Sue Heck that I love, the fact that she has the same first name and middle name is one of my favorites! In tonight’s all new episode, Sue decides that she is going to change her name so that her license doesn’t say Sue Sue Heck on it. To preview how that goes, we spent some time talking with Sue herself (Eden Sher) about what to expect tonight and beyond! What can you tease that
On an all new CASTLE, Detective Ryan finds himself going back undercover in the Irish mob, an assignment that few people knew about – his colleagues are unaware; his wife is not too happy about an old flame back in the picture; and Ryan is right in the middle of what might be too much danger. I spent some time chatting with Det. Ryan’s portrayer, Seamus Dever, about this change in gears, getting a whole lot of Ryan in this
On an all new SUBURGATORY (tonight at 9:30/8:30c on ABC), George finds himself in hot water with Dallas when he accidentally forgets the birthday present she got him. Worried that she can never compare to his ex, Alex, Dallas goes on a bit of a food-related downward spiral. To discuss what’s coming up tonight and beyond for this season, and to give us a bit of insight on what it’s like to work with Cheryl Hines every day, I spent
On an all new episode of LAST MAN STANDING, Mike is surprisingly impressed with Ryan when they take Boyd to a baseball game and have a run-in with a tipsy Bill McKendree (Richard Karn), who’s been on a downward spiral ever since Mike failed to give him an Outdoor Man account. Meanwhile, when Mandy gets her laptop and cell phone taken away for failing history, she comes across Mike’s old ham radio and starts some unlikely conversations with people from
