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
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
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
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 (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? NS: Normally, when you’re watching shows about geniuses or films about people who have genius as part of their lives, you deal more with the logical part of their minds and less with
