TV of the Absurd

TV Stars Talk Halloween

Cynthia — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 00:34:15 +0000

For the last few months, I’ve asked every celeb I’ve interviewed to give me their thoughts on Halloween. Here’s what I got: Katerina Graham Vampire Diaries I can’t wait for a Halloween episode! I don’t know what I’m going to be as corny as it sounds, I’m between vampire and witch. Maybe I’ll go vampire because I [...]

The Cassidy Brothers: All Together Now

Cynthia — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 05:46:06 +0000

Few people in the world are true teen idols, but the Cassidy family managed to turn out two of them. David Cassidy came to fame in 1970 when he joined his real-life mother Shirley Jones on the TV series The Partridge Family. Seven years later, younger brother Shaun captured the hearts of teen girls everywhere [...]

Ten Minutes with Supernatural’s Misha Collins

Cynthia — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 05:40:21 +0000

It’s been nearly a year since we were introduced to Supernatural’s first angel in residence, Castiel. With his unblinking stare and deep, humorless voice, he’s been guiding Dean Winchester down a biblical path that’s leading them all straight into the ultimate maelstrom known as the apocalypse. But when the director yells cut, Castiel falls away and [...]

Julian Morris Goes Dark for Donkey Punch

Cynthia — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 21:54:34 +0000

My introduction to ER’s Julian Morris was when he played the innocent schoolboy who gets roped into some deadly fun and games in the movie Cry Wolf. In his new movie, Donkey Punch, Julian’s character, once again, gets pressured by his peers into taking part in a deadly game, but this time around it’s [...]

Nathan Fillion Gets Absurd

Cynthia — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 05:29:52 +0000

Last week I had the pleasure of interviewing Nathan Fillion. Though I’ve been a fan of his for awhile, it was my first opportunity to speak with him one-on-one and I was immediately charmed. I can’t believe he’s not a good ole’ Southern boy because he has a very sweet, laid back style that had [...]

Friday the 13th Star America Olivo Gets Down and Dirty

Cynthia — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 01:29:57 +0000

Last summer, I interviewed America Olivo in regard to her role in the new movie Bitch Slap. Coincidentally, she had just come back from filming Friday the 13th. The story of how she got from one movie to the other is just one in a series of crazy good news/bad news events in her [...]

Into the Woods with Bridget Regan

Cynthia — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 01:15:18 +0000

Bridget Regan’s TV credits include The Black Donnellys, New Amsterdam and Law & Order Criminal Intent. All great experiences, but none of them properly prepared her for the role of Kahlan Amnell in ABC’s syndicated series Legend of the Seeker which requires her to ride horseback through the magical Midlands. Bridget plays Kahlan, a “Confessor” who [...]

Leveraging a Hit with Christian Kane

Cynthia — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 01:09:10 +0000

The Leverage cast and crew will be back at work very soon, producing new episodes for a season premiere sometime in June. In the meantime, I snuck in a little time with Christian Kane who plays hired gun Eliott Spencer on the series. What was this country music crooner turned TV tough guy doing when [...]

Renovations Needed on Whedon’s Dollhouse

Cynthia — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 00:48:39 +0000

“I’ve been doing this my whole life,” says Echo and that’s funny because. . . well. . she hasn’t. She’s actually been doing this for about two hours. The “life” she speaks of is simply an imprint that’s been embedded in her brain so she acts, talks and thinks like whomever the client wants her [...]

Don’t Get Mad. Get Leverage.
