Bill Lawrence riffs on UNDATEABLE and taking the show on the road

As a fan shows involving Bill Lawrence (SCRUBS, CLONE HIGH, COUGAR TOWN), when it was announced last spring at NBC up-fronts that a new show called UNDATEABLE was coming, I was predisposed to be a fan.  Add to the list of reasons to tune in: one of my favorite stand-up comics (Chris D’Elia, a favorite since the GLORY DAZE, well, days) and Briga Heelan, fresh from a great turn as Grayson’s baby-mama on CT and coming off of a killer

Max Adler talks Tank on SWITCHED AT BIRTH – “I was fascinated, so I definitely wanted to play him”

An all new episode of SWITCHED AT BIRTH heads to ABC Family tonight at 8/7c, and to celebrate the ongoing story of Bay and Tank, and how exactly he fits in among the Bay and Emmett fans, I spent some time chatting with Max Adler (GLEE).  He previewed for us what drew him to the role, if it was a conscious effort to NOT play a bully this time around, and what we can expect. I have to say –I

Lori Loughlin talks WHEN CALLS THE HEART

When Calls the Heart has been a wonderful experience for Lori Loughlin. During a recent press conference call, Loughlin talked about the Hallmark original series, her character Abigail, and the town of Coal Valley. A Sense of Community “I think what I’ve learned, and what I’ve always known in my own life, is that we need other people.  It’s hard to go it alone.  It takes a village and a support system.  And what I love about When Calls the

Previewing the return of PERCEPTION with Eric McCormack

Tonight on TNT, PERCEPTION returns to finish out season 2 with four all new episodes.  In the first one back, while Daniel and Kate investigate the death of a gifted baseball player, Daniel connects with the suspect, and Haley and Lewicki do their best to impress a promising new student. To celebrate the return, I spent time chatting with series star Eric McCormack about what to expect in these four, and why his portrayal of Daniel feels so authentic. I

Titus Makin, Jr, previews STAR-CROSSED on The CW

Tonight on The CW, Star-Crossed episode 2 finds everyone dealing with the aftermath of the pilot, and what happens when [spoiler alert] the Atrians realize a human took down their peaceful leader.  I spent some time chatting with series star Titus Makin, Jr., about what’s coming up on the show, for his character and for the continued Human/Atrian battle! Let’s start with the easy one – the show has action, romance, and what already felt like fully formed characters that

Chatting SWITCHED AT BIRTH with Katie Leclerc

It’s always a pleasure to speak with Katie Leclerc.  Though she describes herself as a “nerd,” she’s truly one of the most humble, sincere people I’ve ever met. Murder Mystery Bash When we spoke via phone recently about Switched at Birth’s Third Season, Leclerc teased a bit about Daphne as well as one of her favorite episodes of the season, “The Scream,” which aired just after we spoke.  In the episode, Kathryn (Lea Thompson) held a “Mafia” murder-mystery bash, with

Mircea Monroe talks HART OF DIXIE and EPISODES

Rarely today does one hear about a Hollywood actress being “discovered” at a drugstore counter or in a shopping mall, but that’s exactly what happened to Mircea Monroe, who has roles in both the CW’s Hart of Dixie (Tansy Truitt) and the Showtime network’s Episodes (Morning Randolph). A Dual Life Monroe has been playing both roles for the past three years but, according to her, they never overlap to the point of confusion.  She told me when we spoke, “I

Sam Huntington talks BEING HUMAN and what else he’s up to!

“I’ve been delighted to portray such a dynamic guy,” Sam Huntington said as we began to talk about Being Human’s Season Four.  He added, “I’d just like him to fully accept that his condition is not the end of the world.  It’s just once a month (that he turns into a werewolf).  He should just build an awesome cage in his basement.  He’s a smart guy.  Why he hasn’t done that already, I don’t know.  It’s a no-brainer.  Just go

Talking to THE GIRL HE MET ONLINE – Yvonne Zima

“Unfortunately, I play the girl he met online,” Zima blurted out when we spoke about the project.  “And, I think she’s probably one of the worst examples ever for young girls.  She puts all her values on her looks and her ability to attract a man.  So, what happens is she’s left with a hollow face, which is a really scary thing to explore.  She’s really literally a void. “She also does a little bit of The Runaway Bride thing

Mary-Margaret Humes talks tough parenting in THE GIRL HE MET ONLINE

Mary-Margaret Humes (Dawson’s Creek) initially turned down the role of Agatha Casey in The Girl He Met Online, saying she’d played the part before.  Then, she read the script. Unexpected Role When I recently spoke with Humes, she told me how she came to accept the role she very nearly abandoned.  “When Peter Davis (Executive Producer/Showrunner) asked me to do the role, I thought, ‘I’ve played so many moms.’  So, I said I’d wait for something else.  Then, they sent
