On the brink of the third season premiere of Murder in the First, (which airs June 26 at 10 P.M. on TNT), I had the honor to speak with Ian Anthony Dale about his role as Jim Koto on the series as well as his recurring role of Adam Noshimuri on Hawaii Five-0. First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me. I really appreciate it. I had the privilege to interview you in
As announced during this year’s Super Bowl, The Good Wife will take a final bow to CBS and to the world on May 8, 2016. Such a critically acclaimed series causes pause to reflect on just what made it so appealing to audiences in the first place. In a CBS press call earlier this year, the husband-wife writing duo/series creators/executive producers and showrunners Robert and Michelle King met with reporters to dish on the ingredients that make up a
Television shows sometimes impact viewers so much that they touch their hearts and change their lives. I’ve written here at mytakeontv before about what a powerful tool TV can be. This year’s Winter TCA’s gave NBC a chance to show off some of its more noble shows. And three of them – Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med come from Executive Producer Dick Wolf. Wolf joined Colin Donnell (Chicago Med), S. Epatha Merkerson (Chicago Med), Monica Raymund (Chicago Fire),
As Hallmark’s Hearts of Spring gets set to premiere, I had the pleasure to speak exclusively with one of its stars, Lisa Welchel (The Facts of Life). Tell me a bit about your character, Carly Ashby. She writes a parenting blog, she’s single, her daughter is a senior in high school getting ready to go off to college, and she’s kind of finding love the second time around. What do you admire most about her? I would say I admire
Has anybody but me noticed how quickly the lab rats of Hawaii Five-0 scurry away? First, there was the eccentric Dr. Max Bergman (played by Masi Oka), who, in his debut as Chief Medical Examiner in Episode 19 of Season One [“Ne Me’e Laua Na Paio” (Heroes and Villains)], showed off his skill as a musical prodigy on the piano and his penchant for avoiding eye contact. Bergman had quite an interesting character arc, with a thing for Keanu Reeves
NBC shadows worldrenowned cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Kathy Magliato in “Heartbeat,” and executives gave the winter TCAs a look at this unique series. The “Heartbeat” panel consisted of executive producers Amy Brenneman and Brad Silberling, executive producer and showrunner Jill Gordon, co-executive producer Dr. Kathy Magliato, and actors Don Hany, Melissa George, Dave Annable, D.L. Hughley, J Louis Mills, Shelley Conn, Jamie Kennedy, and Maya Erskine. Kathy, tell us, first of all, what got you interested in being a doctor in
NBC series Shades of Blue offers a fresh slant on the NYPD, as detectives strive to enforce the law without being influenced by corruption within. Jennifer Lopez, and other members of the cast and crew, joined NBC for a panel discussion with the press at this year’s winter TCAs. Jennifer, what was it like for you filming the entire season at once, not knowing how the series will be received? JENNIFER LOPEZ (Executive Producer/Star): It was nerve‑racking. Just doing the
Thursday, February 25 is officially “The Big Bang Theory Day,” as announced by the City of Pasadena at a celebration gathering over the weekend. And its only fitting, since the series has claimed Pasadena as its world since its September 24, 2007 debut. The gathering of series stars Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik, and Melissa Rauch, along with Executive Producers/Co-Creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, as well as EP/Showrunner Steven Molaro made the
Superman’s Master Jailer (sort of) is on the verge of marking his Supergirl debut. And the Master Jailer himself, Jeff Branson, called me to chat about his very first appearance. First of all, how did you prepare for this role? I did my homework. Google’s how I prepared for this role. I wanted to know every incarnation of the Jailer. When I was reading comics, I never came across him. He was used in a different era. I wanted to
Though Gabriel Waincroft is an interesting topic, in Part Three of our exclusive, I focus on Christopher Sean, the actor. Tell me a little bit about your company, Between the Lines. My friend, John Gearries, and I formed that company to make some silly movies, and we did. We had a good time making projects, and now I’ve actually got another production company. The general idea of this new company is to create intellectual properties, continue to create content, and
