Stefanie Powers Spreads the Love through Animals, Asia, and Hallmark’s LOVE BY THE BOOK

In the world of television, Stefanie Powers is an icon. Let’s face it. Perhaps best known for her Hart to Hart days with Robert Wagner, Powers has yet to slow down, continuing instead to shower the world with her talent in entertainment. Her most recent project, Love by the Book, premieres this weekend on the Hallmark Channel. Powers will play opposite John Schneider, Leah Renee, and Kristopher Turner. As I talk with Powers via telephone about her latest project, she

EMPIRE’s Grace Gealey previews the first season

The second episode of FOX’s latest hit, EMPIRE, airs tonight after an all new AMERICAN IDOL.  The episode, “Outspoken King,” follows the aftermath of what was presented in the pilot, as Cookie settles in to live out of jail, and everyone faces their new reality. To celebrate the great ratings and excitement the show has received, I spent some time chatting with EMPIRE’s Grace Gealey, the current head of Empire’s A&R (you know, the role Cookie wants?), about what’s coming

Alan Tudyk previews the return of NEWSREADERS

NEWSREADERS returns to [adult swim] tonight with all new episodes, and I, for one, couldn’t be more excited! The show, now airing Friday nights (Saturday mornings), follows all of the news that’s worth covering (and completely made up), reported by the (not really) very best.  In the first episode back, Ryan Hansen guest stars while lead News Reader Reagan Biscayne interviews TV’s favorite family about their sitcom lifestyle. To celebrate the return of the show, I spent some time swapping

Talking GALAVANT with Joshua Sasse and Karen David

I had the pleasure of speaking with GALAVANT stars Joshua Sasse and Karen David.  The show is ABC’s latest comedy, premiering tonight at 8/7c and airing for the next four weeks in back to back episodes, a “comedy extravaganza,” according to the network. We spoke about what drew them to the show, what it was like working with people like Alan Menken on a weekly basis.  Check out the above video, and check out GALAVANT – let us know what

Talking HAPPYLAND AND SCORPION with Camille Guaty

You all definitely recognize the face of Camille Guaty.  She’s been a TV staple for years, popping up in starring or guest starring roles on some of my favorites like PRISON BREAK, THE CHICAGO CODE, and LAS VEGAS.  Or maybe you recognize her from GHOST OF GIRLFRIENDS PAST or BLINK (and up next, she’ll pop up in the new Jennifer Aniston award-buzzy CAKE). It’s always great to see her on our screens, and she’s gotten to sink her teeth into

Ryan Gage previews THE MUSKETEERS and that little-heard-of-movie called THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF FIVE ARMIES

In anticipation of the final installment of THE HOBBIT (in theaters today) and the upcoming second seasons of THE MUSKETEERS on BBC America (premiering January 17, at 9/8c), I spent some time chatting with the movie’s Alfrid and TV’s latest King Louis XIII, Ryan Gage. Tell me everything possible about season 2 of THE MUSKETEERS? Musketeers S2 is a darker and more dangerous world than S1. We originally made Season 1 for an 8.00pm audience but it was screened at

Previewing ASCENSION with Al Sapienza

ASCENSION, Syfy’s three night event miniseries, premieres Monday, December 15, at 9/8c, and I’m here to say that you really should tune in.  It’s 1963, and the US government has launched a covert space mission sending hundreds of men, women, and children on a 100 year journey to populate a new world.  The show is dark and exciting, with class struggles, power struggles, murder, and mystery.  Definitely worth watching. Someone who agrees you should check it out is series star

RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER Guides Santa’s Sleigh on CBS

It’s that time of year again, and soon Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, my favorite Christmas special, will be leading Santa’s sleigh once more.  After doing a bit of research on this classic heartwarming Christmas story, I found Corinne Conley, the voice of Rudolph’s mother, Mrs. Donder.     Conley, who graciously granted an interview, recalls her role in Rudolph very fondly, considering it the favorite credit of her acting career.  To this day, she gets “the nicest reaction” from people

CCH Pounder Opens up about NCIS: NEW ORLEANS and Dr Loretta Wade

CCH Pounder is exactly the kind of interview I thought she’d be – very open, friendly, down-to-earth – just a joy to talk to. And, of course, one can’t talk to Pounder without bringing up FX Network’s The Shield. It’s just inevitable. And, in a way it is relevant to Pounder’s current role on NCIS: New Orleans. When she was asked to play Dr. Loretta Wade, Pounder worried that expectations might be high that she play a copy-cat tough-as-nails, authority

Life Imitates Art as Josie Bissett Plays Real-Life PAPER ANGEL

Josie Bissett truly brings the Christmas spirit to life – and not just once a year.  I spoke with her the day before she was to leave for Sri Lanka with the Starkey Hearing Foundation (www.starkeyhearingfoundation.org).  Her work with the Foundation, which helps change lives by providing hearing aids to people around the world, marked Bissett’s first mission trip. Another way Bissett (Melrose Place) will be changing lives this Christmas season is by reaching people through the UP Network’s Paper
