Exclusive: Before Emmy nominee Harris Yulin died on June 10, he had been cast in a leading role in MGM+’s upcoming comedy series American Classic, starring opposite Kevin Kline, Jon Tenney, and Laura Linney. Now, the role of Linus Bean will be played by Len Cariou.

Additionally, Sean Dino Johnson, Johnny McKeown, Phillip Johnson Richardson, Billy Eugene Jones, Andrea Jones-Sojola, Yaegal T. Welch, Joseph Morales, Matt McGrath, and Terry Walters will appear in recurring roles.

From co-creators Michael Hoffman and Bob Martin, American Classic is an 8-episode series that centers on Broadway star and notorious narcissist Richard Bean (Kline), who suffers a spectacular public meltdown and returns to his hometown and the family-run theater where he first became aware of his brilliance. When he arrives, he is shocked to discover that his father Linus Bean (Cariou), the former artistic director, has lost a step and that the once-respected theater,...

Ryan Gosling's shift to lighter roles stemmed from family priorities, avoiding dark characters for better mental health. La La Land marked the turning point for Gosling, as he embraced more inspiring and mainstream film projects. The Fall Guy aligns with Gosling's current priorities, offering a mix of comedy and action without bringing darkness home.

Given his recent movie choices, it might be hard to remember, but Ryan Gosling used to dabble in very dark and brooding roles primarily. From playing a neo-Nazi in 2001's The Believer, to playing a serial killer in training in 2002's Murder By Numbers, to playing a man in a marriage that is tragically dissolving in 2010's Blue Valentine, Gosling was never afraid to tap into very serious and complex emotions. That has changed in recent years with lighter roles in Barbie and the recently released action comedy, The Fall Guy, and, as it turns out,...

After welcoming in 2024 with an eclectic mix of movie titles, from new and old to classic and modern, Netflix is set to embark on its monthly cull as it cuts titles from its roster, accommodating the demand for new movies by creating space in its stacked catalog. Following on from a busy 2023, where big-name blockbuster releases dominated the cinematic terrain, streaming platforms such as Netflix and the like will seek to re-establish themselves and regain a foothold in this increasingly saturated market. Having taken a hit to its subscriber base last year, the streaming giants will be hoping to rediscover some form when it comes to subbing out older films for new additions. Let's take a look at every movie leaving Netflix in February 2024...

The third film from Damien Chazelle, in what might be dubbed his “Jazz Trilogy”, La La Land eschews the New Wave immediacy of Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench and the psychological horror notes of Whiplash, and brings us a blast of Golden Age musical energy. La La Land arrives on a zephyr of hype; and while it’s not up to the standard of his previous feature, it has a certain charm of its own.

Except, it’s not really its own. Like The Artist before it, La La Land is an awards-friendly picture – proudly presented in “Cinemascope” – which is inextricably wedded to past glories. Yet I’m not sure its modern elements are entirely comfortable in the relationship.

Being a vegan sounds hard enough, but when you add being pregnant to the mix, the whole lifestyle sounds a lot more difficult to maintain. What do famous meat-abstaining pregnant celebs like Natalie Portman and Alicia Silverstone eat in order to keep their babies (and themselves) healthy? Terry Walters, the author of the vegan cook book Clean Start (buy it here!) and the lady who counts Lea Michele and Katy Perry amongst her food fans, talks to Celebuzz about vegan celebs and how we can all learn a thing or two from these healthy non-meat eating beauties. (Also, we're giving...

Chicago – People who have been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, which is on the autistic spectrum, are sometimes described as being “mind blind”. In other words, they often don’t understand what people are thinking.

Rose Byrne and Hugh Dancy star in the film “Adam” to help audiences to visualize the condition, learn how to deal with it and metaphorically highlight it as just one way to understand typical misunderstandings in relationships.

“Adam” was released on DVD on Feb. 2, 2010. “Adam” star Rose Byrne is being buzzed about now with her return to TV’s “Damages” with Glenn Close. HollywoodChicago.com sat down with Rose Byrne and Hugh Dancy in Chicago to discuss the film.
