Though most of the great cable TV series of the last few years have been full of unexpected surprises, I think Boardwalk Empire really set the “holy shit” bar when Jimmy Daromody, played by the second-billed star of the show Michael Pitt, was killed off. Shows have killed off characters
Cristin Milioti has a major role as Leonardo DiCaprio‘s wife in Martin Scorsese‘s upcoming film The Wolf of Wall Street, but if you’re a fan of her from Broadway’s Once and TV’s How I Met Your Mother, don’t expect to recognize her. Milioti reveals to The Wall Street Journal that
Hugh Jackman might be a blockbuster movie star, but he’s also one of the major Broadway stars of the last decade. His past two returns to Broadway — first in the play A Steady Rain and second in a solo musical revue Hugh Jackman, Back on Broadway — sold out
Every few months we run a story here at Daily Actor which I think sets a new low in lack of theater etiquette. There was that time someone in the balcony threw up onto the audience below. There was that time that an audience member refused to stop using her
Though Zachary Quinto has been acting in theater for his entire career, it wasn’t until his current starring role in The Glass Menagerie that Quinto made his Broadway debut. Though he’s appeared on stage in New York before — he starred in an off-Broadway production of Angels In America shortly
Though I am obviously very interested in the entertainment industry, I really have no interest in watching award shows. They’re simply too long and drawn out, and too focused on sappy speeches and often badly-written jokes for my taste. I’m not into fashion either, so the whole pageantry parade is
I don’t think any actor could ever replicate the career path of Clark Gregg. After acting regularly in small roles since the 1988s (including a recurring role on The West Wing), Gregg played S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson in Iron Man. When the massive box office success of Iron Man launched
You probably don’t know who Brett Dalton is, but there’s a good chance you’ll recognize the name in a month. That’s because the actor is playing a lead role on one of the most anticipated television series of the season, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Dalton has few credits outside of
So the secret is out: the titular mother of How I Met Your Mother was finally revealed to be played by Cristin Milioti in the eighth season finale. Not only did she have to keep her casting a secret from everyone, even auditioning for the role was difficult to fit
Whether you are a fan of the series or not (and who isn’t?), Breaking Bad is truly something special. And undoubtedly the main reason for that is Bryan Cranston, an actor previously best known for his comedic television roles who has completely reinvented himself as Walter White, the meth-dealing high
Considering that Michael J. Fox began to scale back his acting roles after revealing that he had Parkinson’s disease in 1998, one would expect that the disease — which causes involuntary movement — would have had major detrimental effects on his acting. However, in an interview with Rolling Stone Fox
It’s probably hard enough for a famous actor to make his or her debut on Broadway. It doesn’t make it any easier if the play is one of the most famous in history and has been read by probably every kid in middle school. But Orlando Bloom is well aware
Though Dean Norris‘ Hank Schrader on Breaking Bad might be one of the least “evil” characters on the show in terms of the law, that might not be saying much considering the show’s lead character is Bryan Cranston‘s Walter White, a meth-dealing high school chemistry teacher. He spoke to
Who wouldn’t want to wake up from surgery and find out you’re married to the beautiful “nurse” feeding you? That’s the premise behind a new viral video hit starring Jason Mortensen, who wakes up groggily after hernia surgery to discover a beautiful woman is feeding him a cracker and making
Some actors get so associated with iconic roles that it’s hard to accept them in any other movie. Christopher Reeve, for example, had problems getting people to see him as anything other than Superman despite starring in a myriad of other films. However, despite the fact that Hugh Jackman will
I don’t often write things like this on Daily Actor, but I recently got to see Michelle Pfeiffer in person at a press conference for The Family, a new mafia comedy film she stars in alongside Robert De Niro, and she is a remarkably beautiful woman. Normally I’d focus on
We’ve all heard stories of how an actor went out of his or her way with a characterization in order to land a role that he or she really wanted. Most of the time it requires dedication and courage. Sometimes it involves props. Sometimes it even requires spending $15,000 on
There are few actors I like as much on screen as Robert Duvall. One could go on and on about the problems of The Godfather Part III, but as far as I’m concerned that film was doomed the minute they wouldn’t pay Duvall to come back to play Tom Hagen.
Grant Neale stars as Polanski during three distinct periods of Polanski’s life
Just when you thought Sons of Anarchy couldn’t get any more disturbing, violent, or darker, star Donal Logue, who has been featured on the show as Lee Toric since last season, confesses to The Hollywood Reporter that we haven’t seen anything yet. He spoke about the difficulty of shaking off his
