Nancy Stafford Talks Faith, Family, and Greenhouse Productions’ First Feature “All is Merry and Bright”

I had the honor to interview Nancy Stafford a few times before, and I have nothing but respect and admiration for her as an actress, as a person, and most of all, as a dedicated Christian in the entertainment industry. I consider it a blessing to know her. Recently, I had the privilege to speak with Nancy about her faith, especially as it relates to Greenhouse Productions’ “All is Merry and Bright.” mytakeontv (MTOTV): Tell me how you became involved

Behind the Scenes with “All Is Merry and Bright:” An Interview with Producer and Actor Shun Lee Fong

Discovering all the ins and outs of making a film fascinates me. And with Christmas just around the corner, I just had to have a look at the Christmas comedy “All Is Merry and Bright” with producer and actor Shun Lee Fong: mytakeontv.com (MTOTV): I know Darbi and Vicki are the writers for this project. And I was wondering how you got involved with it. Shun Lee (SL): This was Darbi’s first time as a screenwriter. She had written plays

Versatile Faces: The 3 Actors Who Avoided Being Typecast

There are actors who seem to be born for a specific character. Think Udo Kier, the actor who is often seen playing vampires (and who admittedly loves to play one) or Ian Somerhalder who returns to the world of vampires in the upcoming series V-Wars after making waves as the antihero Damon Salvatore in the popular series “The Vampire Diaries”. Being typecast these days is easy, especially after playing an iconic role in an iconic series. Jason Momoa, for one,

My Take on TV: An Update

Hello friends. It’s been a while. I wanted to give an update on where we’ve been here at My Take on TV, and provide you with a look at where we’re going (it’s a long one; strap in). Some of you may know my story because our MyTakeonTV Instagram is my personal one, as well, so I apologize if you’re reading something you already know! It was March 10, 2018. I got a call from my cousin that my mother

My Take On…SINGLE PARENTS on ABC

Tonight after MODERN FAMILY, the latest ABC comedy, SINGLE PARENTS (from Liz Meriwether and JJ Philbin), premieres.  The show stars Taran Killam as Will Cooper, a single dad who becomes the room parents for his adorable daughter’s classroom. Though they initially hate him and his gung ho helicopter parenting, the rest of the room’s single parents (get it) welcome him into their group, and I’d imagine, antics will then ensue. Based on the trailers for the show, I was not

My Take on…FX’s MAYANS MC

“I say we trust until we don’t.” Richard Cabral’s character utters that phrase about 2/3 of the way into tonight’s sprawling premiere (the first episode runs 1 hr, 8 minutes without commercials) of Elgin James and Kurt Sutter’s latest chapter in the SoCal motorcycle club epic, MAYANS M.C.   As Sutter has mentioned in interviews, the show is set in a post-Jax-Teller-post-SAMCRO world, and the line above about trusting who you need to in the moment, until you might not trust

My Take On…CHAMPIONS on NBC

CHAMPIONS (NBC, Thurs 9:30/8:30c), from the minds of Charlie Grandy and Mindy Kaling, follows the story of Vince (Anders Holm), a washed up baseball player who owns a failing gym (called Champions), his brother Matthew (Andy Favreau), the sweet and naive side of the sibling coin, and what happens to their lives when Vince’s 15 year old son Michael (JJ Totah) unexpectedly arrives on the scene. Michael was always destined for bigger and better things than a life of best

My Take On….BASKETS Season 3 on FX

Chip, Dale, and Christine are back and as funny as they’ve ever been when BASKETS returns to FX at 10/9c. After a brilliant second season that explored the evolution of Christine (Emmy winner Louie Anderson), BASKETS returns tonight with a third season premiere that continues telling the story of the Baskets Family Rodeo.  The impulse purchase is really coming along, as Chip, Dale, and Christine work together (not well, let’s be real; Chip and Dale are a mess) to get

My Take On…THE MARVELOUS MRS MAISEL

Miriam “Midge” Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan), the titular Mrs from Amazon’s new series THE MARVELOUS MRS MAISEL, is a woman scorned. Left by her joke-stealing husband Joel for the dim-witted secretary at his big-city office, she stumbles into a burgeoning career as a stand up comedian at the start of the 1960s, under the guidance of a woman named Susie (the jokes about whom all come down to “what’s with that dude? Oh she’s a lady”).  As the 8 episode first
