Chatting with THE BLACKLIST’s Amir Arison: A Light Spot on a Dark Show

Amir Arison plays Aram Mojtabai on The Blacklist, and he’s pretty excited about his character. Perhaps it’s because Aran is lot like Arison in real life. He says, “It’s not exactly like me, but in terms of other roles that I’ve done on television shows, I would say it’s the closest to my own persona in that I’m the guy that wants to do well at work, likes to have fun, but takes his work very seriously; likes to laugh,

Tuesday’s episode of NCIS: Los Angeles, now in its fifth season, promises a bit of excitement, to say the least, and I was recently fortunate enough to get the scoop firsthand from Daniela Ruah (Special Agent Kensi Blye). When we last left Kensi, she was still being held in a cave by the Taliban, and she had come face-to-face with former fiancé from nine years previous, Jack Simon (Matthew Del Negro).  A remaining question in her mind was whether or

Renee Felice Smith Brings Nell Jones to Life on NCIS: LOS ANGELES

Renee Felice Smith plays Nell Jones on NCIS: Los Angeles, but Smith recently revealed to me that the two share more differences than similarities.  Smith said, “Nell is kind of Renee times two, I guess I’d say.  Where Renee’s brave, Nell is braver.  She’s more of the take-the-bull-by-the-horns kind of gal.  She’s one of a kind.  She’s her own little brand.  I’m not as organized as she is either.  She’s super, super type A, and she’s got her act together.

I recently got a glimpse behind the scenes of the TNT drama Private Lives of Nashville Wives when I had the privilege to chat with stars Cassie Chapman (wife of country singer Gary Chapman) and Erika Page White (wife of singer/songwriter Bryan White).

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”  This quote by Eleanor Roosevelt was the greeting on Logan Echolls’ (Jason Dohring) cell voicemail in Season One, Episode 15 of the series Veronica Mars.  To some extent, it mirrors the reality of a dream a long time in coming for series fans – the release of a Veronica Mars motion picture.
