Comic Con 2014: Talking DEFIANCE with the cast and executive producer

I was lucky enough to be invited to talk to some of the cast of Defiance and one of the hit shows’ Executive Producers during San Diego Comic Con 2014. Julie Benz (Amanda Rosewater), Stephanie Leonidas (Irisa), Jaime Murray (Stahma Tarr), Jesse Rath (Alak Tarr) and Executive Producer Kevin Murphy were all fantastic and gave terrific insights into their characters this season and perhaps beyond! Recently the storyline included an element of cosplay (people creating costumes, wearing makeup, pretending to

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

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

Kristin Booth talks the SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED Finale

Hallmark original series Signed, Sealed, Delivered may make you cry.  It may make you laugh.  But it will never disappoint. Kristin Booth, who plays Shane McInerney on the Martha Williamson series, recently spoke with me about her role and about what makes the show so unique. Who Is Shane? “Shane is a very modern woman, very independent, self-sufficed.  She has the capability to break into a mainframe to get information.  She can be dangerous in the wrong hands, that’s for

FALLING SKIES’ Drew Roy talks changes for Hal Mason

Season 4 of FALLING SKIES premieres Sunday, June 22, at 10/9c on TNT, and it starts off with a bang.  Or two, or three, as the Espheni bring yet another fight to our survivors on their way home.  To celebrate the return of one of the summer’s most exciting shows, I spent time chatting with Drew Roy (he plays Hal Mason) about what’s different this time around, who he’s spending some time with, why he and Maggie might be having
