Arshad Aslam Finds Fame in ZACH STONE IS GONNA BE FAMOUS

ZACH STONE IS GONNA BE FAMOUS and he doesn’t care how.  But Hasaad, Zach’s cameraman, hopes he’s along for the ride. That’s the title and the plot of the MTV series, which stars Bo Burnham and features cameraman Arshad Aslam. The Means to an End Premiering this year, the series has taken Zach from one means of becoming famous (with no talent) to another. Aslam told me, “In one episode, Zach goes missing.  Of course, the media aims attention on

Ella Wahlestedt previews ARMY WIVES with Cheryl

There’s a new brat in town – in Fort Marshall, that is. Fort Marshall, the fictional town of Army Wives, welcomed its newest – and arguably it’s most outspoken – resident this season. Family Affair Ella Wahlestedt joined the cast, now in its seventh season, as the bratty Caroline Hall, step-daughter of Maggie Hall (Torrey DeVitto). And from my chat with Wahlestedt, it’s not going to be pretty.

The Scoop on CBS UpFronts

CBS rolled out its new drama and comedy series yesterday at the Upfronts in NYC. I thought this might be a good time for a brief synopsis on what to expect in the 2013-14 season. Here goes. Hostages, set to air on Mondays at 10 (taking the slot of Hawaii Five-0), takes a dare and uses kidnappers led by Agent Duncan Carlisle (Dylan McDermott) to attempt to force a Presidential assassination via threats to Dr. Ellen Sanders (Toni Collette) and

On Location with HAWAII FIVE-0

When I recently chatted with Jim Triplett, Location Manager for Hawaii Five-0, I found that finding locations for the series is not all peaches ‘n cream – or pineapples ‘n spam – or well, you get the picture. Life Is Not A Beach One of the things I discovered was that you don’t always get what you want in the land of make believe. Triplett told me about a snag he encountered prior to the shooting of episode 2.22 of

Nora Kirkpatrick: The Hidden Talents of the GREEK / THE OFFICE Actress

Some people are simply “gifted” in their craft.  There’s no other way to describe them. Nora Kirkpatrick is one of those people. Enter The Office I recently spoke with Kirkpatrick about her role in the last season of The Office, on which she plays Dwight’s new love interest, Esther. Kirkpatrick told me she found out about the job through her agent and thought the addition of the character was a twist in the series to perhaps provide a bit of

Laurie Fortier Brings Marie Godfrey to Netflix and HEMLOCK GROVE

Just outside Pittsburgh lies the town of Hemlock Grove – in the fictional world of Netflix, that is. And Laurie Fortier is excited to be a part of that world. A New Opportunity When I recently had the chance to chat with her, Fortier told me, “Being on Netflix gave the producers and writers of Hemlock Grove a freedom that radiated down through them to us, the crew.  Moreover, as an actor, being on Netflix gave me permission to twist

David Faustino talks “Bud-Bundy-esque” qualities and BAD SAMARITANS

You remember David Faustino.  He played Bud Bundy in Married with Children. Nowadays, Faustino is playing a new character with similar traits, something he calls “Bud Bundy-esque” qualities, for Netflix. Bud Bundy II? The character’s name is Dax Wendell, the series Bad Samaritans. Wendell resembles Bundy on several fronts.  Says Faustino, “Bud Bundy was obviously a character who wanted to be loved and wanted to be respected, and never was.  And the same goes for Dax Wendell.  I think there

Windell Middlebrooks Balances Life Between BODY OF PROOF and Miller High Life

When Windell Middlebrooks auditioned for the role of Dr. Curtis Brumfield on Body of Evidence (now Body of Proof), he just knew he had blown all hope of ever getting the job. No Time to Prepare He told me, “Normally, I like to get more time than I had to prepare and get ready for an audition, but this time I had no choice. “I had just returned home from Los Angeles in the middle of the night, on the

Cameron Mathison previews THE CARPENTER’S MIRACLE

When actor Cameron Mathison (All My Children) signed on to star in The Carpenter’s Miracle, he got more than he bargained for. Another Perspective Mathison, well-known for his charm and leading-man good looks, spent some time discussing choices with director Kristoffer Tabori.  He told me, “We spent a lot of time doing readings, chatting, and talking.  I was playing the character with a lot of myself in the role.” Tabori changed all that.  He helped Mathison to see that he
