Tim Griffin Chats With Me Vaguely About NBC’s Prime Suspect – Exclusive Interview

p/c Jeff Berlin

So, Prime Suspect is premiering tonight, and I've got an interview for you with Tim Griffin who stars as Augie Blando. It was one of the most interesting interviews I've conducted in quite a while, and I don't think I ever actually asked him a question. Unfortunately, due to some technical issues, the first half of the interview is lost to the aether, and it wasn't until he called me back that … [Read more...]

Fringe’s Anna Torv Q & A Interview

anna-window_0031.rc.b

If you've been watching Fringe recently, you know that Anna Torv has had her workload doubled. Now playing two versions of her character, who are from different universes, Anna's Olivia has become a lot more than she signed on for. She recently took part in a Q & A interview to discuss the show, and the challenges of playing what has now turned into a dual role, and it was a very interesting … [Read more...]

Splice Preview With Clips And BFCA Exclusive Junket Interviews

splice-oneShtsm

Splice is hitting June 4th, and it's had a lot of people talking for quite a while already. From Sundance and beyond, not all the talk has been positive, but there has certainly been talk. At the film's recent junket, the BFCA got some extra interview time to use as exclusive content, and I have it to share with you. Frankly, I'm not sure what to make of this one yet, and I've heard both … [Read more...]

Fringe Interview With Leonard Nimoy

222_overthere_009

With Fringe heading into the second season finale on the heels of inclusion in the fall lineup, things are looking pretty good. I was oddly impressed with the show's beginnings, but it lost some momentum for a while, and a third season order was no sure thing. Whether you're a huge fan or not, it's good to see some quirky shows get a chance to play out for a while. Fans will be familiar with … [Read more...]

Bones Interview With Emily Deschanel And Series Creator Hart Hanson

BONES:  Brennan (Emily Deschanel, L) and Cam (Tamara Taylor, R) examine the remains of a young boy who could help them convict the Gravedigger in the BONES episode "The Boy with the Answer" airing Thursday, May 13 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on Fox.  ©2010 Fox Broadcasting Co.  Cr:  Mathieu Young/FOX

Bones has consistently proven itself over five seasons now, and it has a devoted fanbase. Much of its success comes from the apparent chemistry, not just between its stars, but of everyone involved. Though it battles it out among a plethora of crime-related shows, the fun and light-hearted moments blend cleverly with the meatier aspects of the show, and the result remains a strong, fresh effort … [Read more...]

Alex Ferris Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Interview

IMG_0004

Diary of a Wimpy Kid is hitting this week, and I recently got a chance to check in with Alex Ferris, who plays Collin. It was a lot of fun to talk to the young actor who was recently nominated for two Young Artist Awards (The Time Traveler's Wife, Living Out Loud), and given my experience interviewing people under the age of 15, it was rather educational as well. Given my fairly limited … [Read more...]

ScreenTime – Warehouse 13′s Eddie McClintock Exclusive Interview

NUP_135083_1449sm

I got a chance to talk with Eddie McClintock recently, and it was a real pleasure to pick his brain a bit before we hit the season finale of Warehouse 13. I've been a nervous fan since I gave you the preview review of the show here, and I've been pleasantly surprised by the ratings the show has received. I was nervous, because while I thought the show was a fun mix, I wasn't confident that it was … [Read more...]

ERICA_LOGOsm

I recently talked with Erin Karpluk of Being Erica, and it was a great interview.  I first covered the quirky, pseudo-sci-fi, Canadian show when it hit Soapnet back in February, and it has only sucked me in more as the episodes have rolled out.  Catch my initial Being Erica coverage here. A new season is coming to CBC starting September 22nd, and running Tuesdays at 9:00 pm.  Unfortunately, … [Read more...]

Monk’s Tony Shalhoub Interview

monk2

Monk is kicking off its eighth and final season on August 7th, and I got the chance to take part in a Q&A with Tony Shalhoub a few days ago.  It was a great time, and there were a lot of great answers.  This was especially fun for me, because I've been a fan ever since Wings, and list Big Night (which came up) among my favorite films. These things are often quite interesting, … [Read more...]

ScreenTime – Clifton Collins Jr. – Exclusive Interview

cliftoncollins5

Welcome to ScreenTime. I got the chance to put Clifton Collins Jr. through the ringer recently, and it was a tricky bit of work.  As you probably know, I do one kind of interview (which is why this section is not called "Interviews").  I don't particularly want to hear people telling me how great their next big thing is, and I don't think anyone else needs another version of that going around … [Read more...]

ScreenTime – Craig Horner – Star Of Legend Of The Seeker

legendoftheseeker31

Welcome to ScreenTime! I had the opportunity to chat with Craig Horner recently, and regular readers are going to notice a ScreenTime difference right there.  I actually prefer ScreenTime to be an exchange of emails.  Much as I love talking to all the people involved, I like the idea that ScreenTime participants get to stare at the questions for a while and ramble on as much or as little as … [Read more...]
