Ever think of Eric Beale as a case’s key witness? That’s exactly what he is on this week’s episode of NCIS: Los Angeles. Beale’s not only the key witness, but he winds up in jail for all his trouble. Eric Beale a.k.a. Barrett Foa joined the team in the pilot of the series when it was introduced in Season Six of the ever-popular NCIS, in an episode entitled “Legend.” Foa was excited about the role from the start. When we
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). How It All Began What I was most interested in at the start of our interview was how the two landed on the reality series. White came from the world of soaps, while Chapman was thrown into
Up-and-comer Mat Vairo loves playing the quintessential “bad boy,” Connor Bennett, on Revolution. When we spoke recently about his role on the futuristic series, he admitted, “I like Connor’s dark side.” Connor, the Rebel The son of Sebastian “Bass” Monroe (David Lyons), Connor has perhaps had to do a bit of growing on his own, despite being raised by his late aunt and uncle. And, even though he’s now found his father, the two have had quite a tumultuous relationship.
“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. When Dohring and I spoke about the upcoming film, he filled me in on some
Now in its fifth season on ABC, Emmy-nominated The Middle began its syndication run on the Hallmark Channel on March 3. As a kickoff to this milestone, Charlie McDermott (Axl Heck) and Eden Sher (Sue Heck) participated in a conference call for the media via Hallmark. A Relatable Feel It was a call full of teasing and laughing, mostly between McDermott and Sher, who were obviously enjoying reaping the benefits of such a successful Top-20 series. Syndication, for McDermott, seemed
When Calls the Heart has been a wonderful experience for Lori Loughlin. During a recent press conference call, Loughlin talked about the Hallmark original series, her character Abigail, and the town of Coal Valley. A Sense of Community “I think what I’ve learned, and what I’ve always known in my own life, is that we need other people. It’s hard to go it alone. It takes a village and a support system. And what I love about When Calls the
It’s always a pleasure to speak with Katie Leclerc. Though she describes herself as a “nerd,” she’s truly one of the most humble, sincere people I’ve ever met. Murder Mystery Bash When we spoke via phone recently about Switched at Birth’s Third Season, Leclerc teased a bit about Daphne as well as one of her favorite episodes of the season, “The Scream,” which aired just after we spoke. In the episode, Kathryn (Lea Thompson) held a “Mafia” murder-mystery bash, with
Rarely today does one hear about a Hollywood actress being “discovered” at a drugstore counter or in a shopping mall, but that’s exactly what happened to Mircea Monroe, who has roles in both the CW’s Hart of Dixie (Tansy Truitt) and the Showtime network’s Episodes (Morning Randolph). A Dual Life Monroe has been playing both roles for the past three years but, according to her, they never overlap to the point of confusion. She told me when we spoke, “I
“I’ve been delighted to portray such a dynamic guy,” Sam Huntington said as we began to talk about Being Human’s Season Four. He added, “I’d just like him to fully accept that his condition is not the end of the world. It’s just once a month (that he turns into a werewolf). He should just build an awesome cage in his basement. He’s a smart guy. Why he hasn’t done that already, I don’t know. It’s a no-brainer. Just go
“Unfortunately, I play the girl he met online,” Zima blurted out when we spoke about the project. “And, I think she’s probably one of the worst examples ever for young girls. She puts all her values on her looks and her ability to attract a man. So, what happens is she’s left with a hollow face, which is a really scary thing to explore. She’s really literally a void. “She also does a little bit of The Runaway Bride thing
