Season 4 of Boardwalk Empire wrapped up on Sunday, and naturally all of the key characters in the series underwent major changes. One of those characters was Jack Huston‘s World War I sharpshooter character Richard Harrow, a character that started as a supporting character in the first season whose role
While not every professional actor is a good source of advice (just trust me on that), an actor as respected as Ian McKellen ought to have at least one or two pieces of good advice to pass along to aspiring actors. During a rare break from acting in his current
Though Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart are obviously the stars of the productions of Waiting for Godot and No Man’s Land now on Broadway, even those two can’t play all the roles themselves (thought who wouldn’t like to see them try?) One of the other actors involved is Shuler Hensley,
I’m not one to assume that so-and-so actor is awesome in “real life,” but when it comes to a guy like Patrick Stewart exceptions must be made. Though Stewart has always been a fan favorite since starring as Captain Jean-Luc Picard on Star Trek: The Next Generation, his popularity has
Monday night saw the thirteen annual 24 Hour Plays event in New York City at the American Airlines Theater, and if the event by its nature wasn’t confined to a single day one would expect that the popular fundraiser was long overdue for expansion. Actors participating this year included Jesse
The Steve Coogan film Philomena is based on a true story about an elderly woman who was forced to put her child up for adoption when she was a teenage unwed mother and her search for that son fifty years later. Coogan stars as journalist Martin Sixsmith, who aided Philomena
After a half dozen cast injuries, over $12,000 in fines for safety violations, hundreds of late night jokes, $75 million in production costs, millions of dollars more in worldwide advertising, and over 1000 performances, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark will reportedly close on Broadway in January. It brings to a
I was surprised when I saw that Will Forte was the star of Alexander Payne‘s Nebraska. Not because I didn’t think the Saturday Night Live veteran was capable of being the lead in a dramedy, but it is definitely a leap for the actor best known for his MacGruber character
For years Patton Oswalt was one of those “Hey, look, it’s that guy!” actors. You know, the type that you’re familiar with because he or she has a unique look and has appeared in various small roles, but never had any leading roles that would make them more recognizable. However,
The Seeing Place made an excellent choice in reviving Sidney Kingsley’s hospital drama ‘Men In White’
Cloven Tongues runs at The Wild Project (195 East 3rd Street) through November 23.
One might expert that after the massive success of Thor, The Avengers, and Thor: The Dark World, Tom Hiddleston would be enjoying rock-star success. However, in an interview with the Los Angeles Times Hiddleston, who plays the scene-stealing villainous Loki in the three films, speaks about how he appreciates his
Matt Damon gets paid a lot for his movies, but $200,000 a second? No way, he just gets that for commercials. Believe it or not, Damon was reportedly paid $3 million for a 15 second appearance in a Nespresso ad starring Hollywood buddy George Clooney. The commercial was directed by
Mariska Hargitay has always been front and center on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit as Detective Olivia Benson for the show’s entire run (its now in its fifteenth season). But Hargitay’s marathon run on the series almost ended early because of a haircut. During the third season, Harigtay got
People who work in Midtown Manhattan, take note: your favorite lunch spots are about to get more crowded on Thursday afternoons, and more coach buses will be clogging the streets. This is because three Broadway musicals will begin offering Thursday matinee performances in order to offer variety to tourists and
The American Film Market is a major yearly film industry event in California in which hundreds of filmmakers and producers meet with distributors in order to try to sell their films. While many indie filmmakers have great success stories coming out of the event over the years, according to The
Though Huong “Junie” Hoang lost her lawsuit against IMDb back in April, Hoang has since filed an appeal. Joining her in solidarity are SAG–AFTRA and Writers Guild of America, West, which filed an amicus brief to support her appeal. Hoang’s case began as a lawsuit over IMDb posting her actual
While it’s hard to argue against Clark Gregg‘s Agent Phil Coulson being the unexpected breakout character of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — the guy went from being a background character in Iron Man to the lead role in a television series — a close second has to be Tom Hiddleston‘s
I’m not sure if vampires or still a thing now (we’re onto zombies now, right? Or are we past zombies yet?), but even if vampires aren’t as popular with the kids as they were a few years ago Dracula never seems to go out of style. NBC’s newest drama Dracula
I got a chance to see Ben Stiller‘s The Secret Life of Walter Mitty at the New York Film Festival and it’s definitely the type of film that will play really well with family audiences at Christmastime (although we’re in for a VERY crowded December in terms of movies). Since
