Christopher Sean Talks “Do or Die” Time for Gabriel on HAWAII FIVE-0 (Pt. 2)

Part Two of the Christopher Sean trilogy here at mytakeontv speaks volumes, yet leaves us mystified! Are you able to add any personality traits to Gabriel or is it all kind of scripted? (laughs) Actually, it’s great.  Bryan Spicer is an amazing director   Many times, I’ll talk to Bryan and say, ‘you know’ and suggest some things here and there.  But, it’s ultimately the writers’ medium.  Whatever they write, I will do.  But, I always try to put a little

Christopher Sean Talks HAWAII FIVE-0 (Pt. 1)

Christopher Sean (Gabriel Waincroft) teases something big is coming on this week’s Hawaii Five-0 when he joins me for an exclusive interview that’s so juicy we’re splitting it into three parts. Gabriel is a big drug lord, and he’s taking revenge against Adam for beating up his partner. Given this, though, do you think that part of the reason he antagonizes Adam and Kono is that Kono is Chin’s cousin? I think Gabriel, as raging bull as he may seem,

  With CBS hit series Scorpion now in its second season, EP’s Nick Santora (NS) and Nicholas Wootton (NW) recently took time out to give MToT an exclusive Q&A on the series. 1.   What was it about this project that stood apart from anything you’d seen previously?

YATR’s Victoria Rowell and Kristoff St. John Pay It Forward in UPtv’s A BABY FOR CHRISTMAS

In 2013, when UPtv aired Marry Me for Christmas, the network had no idea what it had done.  Ratings for the TV movie soared, delivering the highest ratings in the network’s history.  The producers (Uptv and Swirl Films) followed that project with Marry Us for Christmas in 2014 (starring Victoria Rowell and Kristoff St. John) and continued the trilogy with this year’s A Baby for Christmas, again starring Victoria Rowell and Kristoff St. John.  When I had the privilege to

Claire Coffee spills the tea on GRIMM S5

For an actress whose character was originally to appear on one episode, then evolve into a recurring role, Claire Coffee (Adalind) is riding high these days as a Grimm series star. Now in its fifth season, the series’ action-packed finale saw Adalind relinquish her Hexenbiest powers – however temporarily – to test a formula that might help Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) become fully “human” again. And Coffee, for one, couldn’t be happier as she joins NBC for a press conference to

Talking MOM with Beth Hall

When Beth Hall (Wendy) became a Mom series regular this season, she reached a personal goal. In fact, during a recent telephone call to me, she admitted that it’s what she’s most proud of in her entire career saying, “I’m most proud of reaching this goal, of being a regular in a series. I guess that’s the goal of a lot of actors who want to do television.” Hall had no idea her role would evolve into a regular, however.

Trouble in Paradise Opens Sixth Red-Carpet Premiere of HAWAII FIVE-0

Hawaii Five-0’s red-carpet Season Six premiere did not go off without a hitch as in previous years.  In fact, it was only by God’s grace that the premiere happened at all.  As Executive Producer Peter Lenkov confirmed to an eager crowd, God answered prayers and held back the rain, which had been drenching Oahu for days and, at premier time, appeared to be everywhere except Waikiki.  It was a beautiful night on the beach as press awaited celebrity arrivals. Evolving

Hawaii Five-0 Location Scouting (and Teasing Season Six) with Timmy Chinn, Part II

When we left Chinn in Part I, he was scouting for locations for Season Six of Hawaii Five-0. In the first episode of that upcoming season, Chinn teased, “They (the writers and producers) wrote the script a certain way for a certain location. We could have used that location, but it simply didn’t work, so it was rewritten from one location to another. I can’t tell you where they are, but it’s not particularly uncommon for certain initial locations not
