Ray Wise is back on The Young and the Restless canvas as master manipulator Ian Ward. Perhaps best known for his role as Leland Palmer on Twin Peaks, Wise initially debuted on the soap in 2014 as the New World Cult leader with a history of tormenting Nikki. Although sent to prison in 2016, he’s now back to wreak more havoc.

The veteran actor has had an impressive career in film and television. Some of his most memorable roles include henchman Leon C. Nash in RoboCop (1987), Jack Taggart Sr. in Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003), and the Devil in The CW series Reaper (2003).

Want to learn more about the actor? Here are seven things to know about Ray Wise.

1. Wise was born in Akron, Ohio, and is of Romanian descent on his mother’s side. He attended Garfield High School before enrolling at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio. Upon graduation,...

Géza Röhrig in Richard Kroehling’s After: Poetry Destroys Silence: “It was really quite a magic tree there on the shore.”

I first met Géza Röhrig when László Nemes introduced us at the Universal Pictures brunch in The Vault of the St. Regis for Danny Boyle's Steve Jobs, starring Michael Fassbender as Jobs with Jeff Daniels as Steve Wozniak and Michael Stuhlbarg as Andy Hertzfeld.

Géza Röhrig played Saul Ausländer in László Nemes’s Oscar-winning Son Of Saul. He played Georges, the cousin of Marcel Marceau (Jesse Eisenberg) in Jonathan Jakubowicz’s Resistance, and Shmuel opposite Matthew Broderick in Shawn Snyder’s To Dust (co-written with Jason Begue and co-produced by Alessandro Nivola and Emily Mortimer).

Géza Röhrig with Anne-Katrin Titze on The Way Of The Wind: “Obviously it has been edited forever, and we all know that Terrence Malick is a maestro.”

He will be seen as...

The Creep Tapes is the third entry in the Creep franchise, with each episode focusing on a new victim of Josef, Peachfuzz, or whatever the real name of the titular serial killer is. The 2014 film teased the closet full of recordings that Josef had collected by luring relatively innocent people into his traps. The 2017 sequel didn’t exactly make it clear that Josef was alive or dead. So, maybe those tapes (being played in the form of these episodes) are being played for our viewing pleasure by a copycat killer, or maybe Josef is alive and is making new tapes, which are being shown to us via this miniseries. In the first episode, Josef pretended to be Jeff Daniels, an aspiring actor who wanted to shoot an audition tape in a remote cabin, and hired Mike, a struggling filmmaker, to help him with it. Things started off on a weird note between them,...

The two Creep movies by Patrick Brice relied on a very simple premise. The titular serial killer would lure a struggling videographer to a secluded place under the guise of making some kind of documentary on him. I think that Josef is his real name because it was somewhat confirmed by his sister, Angela. But he also goes by Bill, Peachfuzz (which is the alter-ego when he dons his favorite wolf mask), Aaron, and whatever else pops into his mind while toying with his prey. In the 2014 film, he stalked and killed a guy called Aaron, and in the 2017 film, he fell in love with his victim, Sara, and almost stabbed her to death, but he failed and she hit him on the head with a shovel. Now, I assumed that Josef died in that film and the guy who was stalking Sara after that incident was a copycat killer,...

George Miller “Huckleberry” Fox, the former actor best known for playing the youngest son of Debra Winger and Jeff Daniels in Terms of Endearment, died Nov. 3 in Washington, DC. He was 50.

His death was confirmed by Potter Funeral Service in Massachusetts.

Fox’s breakout moment from the 1983 movie directed by James L. Brooks was when his character tearfully says goodbye to his dying mom (Winger). He would go on to appear in such movies as Misunderstood, American Dreamer, Konrad and The Blue Yonder before eventually leaving Hollywood.

He ultimately graduated from Northfield Mount Hermon School and New York University before continuing his education at Cornell University, where he earned a Master’s Degree in animal science. He also received his doctorate from the University of Florida in plant medicine.:

Fox would go on to work as a scientist and diplomat of the United States Department of Agriculture.

He is survived by his wife Mercy,...

US film and television production and finance company Sk Global, best known for Crazy Rich Asians, has reportedly laid off around 20 employees in multiple departments.

Company representatives could not be reached for comment, but according to reports Sk Global has attributed the cuts to economic headwinds and last year’s US actors and writers strikes. The reports said all the company’s lines of business remain active and current and upcoming productions are on track.

Headquartered in Los Angeles, with offices in New York, Mumbai and Singapore, Sk Global produces studio features and television programming in English and local languages.

When Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev sit down to discuss a potential nuclear arms treaty in the upcoming film “Reykjavik,” the actors portraying them, Jeff Daniels and Jared Harris, will be lowering themselves into the actual chairs in the actual building where the historic 1986 meeting took place.

Writer-director Michael Russell Gunn, who previously shot “Thai Cave Rescue,” says he loves the “authenticity” of shooting at the actual Höfði House in Iceland. Producer John Logan Pierson adds, “there’s an energy and spirit that comes from shooting in the real place.”

This authenticity was only feasible because of Iceland’s rebates and professional crews. “We needed to make this for a competitive number and sometimes you want to film in a place that isn’t production friendly and lacks a robust infrastructure,” Pierson says.

“The people of Iceland have been so welcoming to our production,” says Mark O’Connor, exec VP of...

Exclusive: Add Sk Global Entertainment, the independent studio behind hits like Anyone But You and Crazy Rich Asians, to the long list of entertainment and media companies impacted by layoffs in 2024.

Less than 20 employees were affected across multiple departments, sources tell Deadline. Like so many others, the company made the move to ensure the continued growth and success of its operations amidst continually strong economic headwinds, following the year of the double strike.

Sk Global remains dedicated, we’re told, to creating premium content with cultural impact. All of its lines of business and current and upcoming productions will remain on track as staffing changes are implemented.

News of the layoffs follows word of others this month at the Film Academy, Fox Corp., Allen Media Group, Netflix, Disney and elsewhere.

Sk Global saw major success last winter with Anyone But You, the critically acclaimed Sony rom-com starring Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney,...

Jared Harris is going full circle and returning to the Royal Shakespeare Company for the first time in 34 years to play Claudius, the treacherous uncle in Hamlet. It is a play much-loved by his father Richard Harris, who played Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies and Marcus Aurelius in Ridley Scott’s original 2000 Gladiator.

Harris said that when he and his brothers, thespian Jamie and director Damien, were kids, their stage-struck parents — dad Richard and mum Elizabeth Rees-Williams — would sit around the dinner table and discuss the productions they’d seen and “Dad would actually get up from the table and act them out for us boys.”

His father “adored” Hamlet and many of Shakespeare’s other plays. “I saw his version of [Laurence] Olivier’s death scene in Coriolanus quite a few times,” he chuckles from his hotel room in Iceland, where he’s shooting...

Exclusive: More than a decade after his last feature directorial outing with The Do-Deca-Pentathlon, Jay Duplass is back behind the camera for See You When I See You, a comedic family drama to star Cooper Raiff (Cha Cha Real Smooth), David Duchovny (Californication), Hope Davis (Succession), Kaitlyn Dever (Booksmart), Lucy Boynton (Bohemian Rhapsody), and Ariela Barer (How to Blow Up a Pipeline).

An exploration of the intricacies of grief and healing, currently in production in Atlanta, See You When I See You is scripted by actor, comedian and writer Adam Cayton-Holland (Those Who Can’t). The film is inspired by Cayton-Holland’s acclaimed memoir Tragedy Plus Time: A Tragi-Comic Memoir, the winner of the 2019 Colorado Book Award for Creative Non-Fiction, which examines the impact of his younger sister Lydia’s suicide on him and his family.

Jay Duplass called the project “the kind of deeply personal dramatic comedy that I grew up on,...

In our era of cinematic universes, it feels like every actor has donned a cape at some point, but back in the days of Christopher Reeve’s Superman, being a superhero represented something larger than life. There was a responsibility, a moral code to abide by. You weren’t just playing a superhero — you were one.

Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story is not afraid of equating Reeve to the Man Of Steel he played in four Superman films between 1978 and 1987. Archival footage from Reeve’s films, interviews and personal home videos cut to CG vignettes of the actor cast in marble like a Greek deity — but that stone eventually cracks. Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui’s documentary begins with the moment that irrevocably changed his life: Reeve was seemingly capable of superhuman feats himself, with a thrill-seeking interest in sailing, skiing and flying, but it was an accident during...

Exclusive: Guy Burnet (Oppenheimer), John Ross Bowie (Speechless), Adrian Rawlins (Mary & George) and Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson (Vikings: Valhalla) will round out the cast of Reykjavik, writer-director Michael Russell Gunn’s historical drama for Anyone But You producer Sk Global. Additionally, 2521 Entertainment has been set to produce and finance the film in partnership with Sk Global.

Others in the cast, as previously announced, include Jeff Daniels, Jared Harris, J.K. Simmons, Hope Davis, Branka Katic and Aya Cash.

Entering production in Iceland in early October, with extensive filming at Höfði House, the actual site of the 1986 Reykjavik summit, Reykjavik explains why the event marked one of the most significant diplomatic achievements of modern times. The film takes place at the most dangerous point of the Cold War, watching as political enemies Ronald Reagan (Daniels) and Mikhail Gorbachev (Harris) meet in Iceland over one long, tense weekend to decide if there will...

There are whisperings that Sister Wives is being made into a movie.

The long-running TLC series has been entertaining reality TV fans since 2010.

Kody Brown, a former polygamist, and his then-four wives, Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn, allowed cameras into their lives as they lived plural marriage and raised their super-sized family.

Since its inception, Sister Wives has taken on a completely different storyline.

After Robyn joined the family, Kody’s dream of living under one big roof with all four of his wives and their 18 children was squashed.

Kody’s marriages to his first, second, and third wives deteriorated over the seasons, and eventually, Meri, Christine, and Janelle left him and polygamy behind.

5 Must See Shows if You Love The Morning Show - Main Image

Apple TV may be considered the runt when it comes to the popularity of streaming services, but the platform has managed to nab some great talent and has quite a lot of critically acclaimed shows in its library.

One particular gem for Apple TV is The Morning Show starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. The show had started way back in 2019 and is still going strong, but it’s going to be a while before the next season makes it to air.

Though the wait is going to be a while, there are some other series that are worth checking out for anyone who loves workplace drama and anything that addresses current social issues.

What’s The Morning Show about?

For context, The Morning Show had started out as a series about a morning news show that had...

As “Reykjavik,” a look at a critical summit between the U.S. and the Soviet Union that helped determine the fate of the two superpowers, begins shooting in Iceland this week, the drama has brought on Hope Davis, Branka Katic and Aya Cash. They join the Sk Global feature, which has already lined up an impressive ensemble that includes Jeff Daniels as Ronald Reagan, Jared Harris as Mikhail Gorbachev and J.K. Simmons as Secretary of State George Shultz.

Davis, who appeared on Broadway opposite Daniels in “God of Carnage,” will star as Nancy Reagan. Katic is set to play Raisa Gorbachev, wife of the Soviet leader, and Cash has been tapped to portray a young journalist covering the Reykjavik Summit. Production officially commenced Tuesday on location in Reykjavik, where the cast and crew started filming in and around Höfði House, the actual site of a 1986 meeting that happened as the...

Although the 1994 blockbuster Speed was filled with meticulously planned stunts, one scene felt a little too real for its stars.

Marking the Jan de Bont action flick’s 30th anniversary, Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock reunited with the director on Tuesday at Beyond Fest, where the actors recalled being “a little under-informed” about where the bus was steering.

“Don’t you remember that day on the bus, though?” Reeves asked, according to IndieWire. “When we were crashing through all the cars on the street? I remember we were a little under-informed. We were all on the bus and then we were driving down by San Diego or something. We were set by the ocean, and all of a sudden, we’re actually hitting cars. Boom! Boom! Everyone on their bus lost their mind. People were screaming.”

Although she noted that she “did get my Santa Monica bus driver’s license,...

Odd though it may seem, part of the reason "Jurassic Park" endures as a blockbuster classic is surely due to its horror elements. Like director Steven Spielberg's "Jaws," the 1993 movie gets downright hair-raising at times — an experience made all the more visceral by the fact there are two young children enduring the ordeal.

Alongside Drs. Alan Grant, Ian Malcolm, and Ellie Sattler, John Hammond's (Richard Attenborough) grandchildren find themselves stranded on Isla Nubar after the power goes down and several ravenous dinos are set free. Tim and Lex Murphy (Joseph Mazzello and Ariana Richards) provided a proxy for kids everywhere, putting young imaginations straight into the heart of the film and making the terrifying set-pieces all the more effective as a result.

Since the 1993 classic debuted, the "Jurassic Park" franchise has continued, remaining a popular saga even some 30 years after Spielberg's original bowed. However, while several of...

The world has gone through a lot since HBO‘s Aaron Sorkin drama The Newsroom aired, and as we head into an election season and the show’s 10th anniversary since the final season, there’s no better time to look back at the show which put journalism under a microscope. “I can’t believe that it’s been 10 years. I also feel like it was way ahead of its time,” remarks star Thomas Sadoski, who TV Insider caught up with to discuss his ongoing role in American Sports Story. “I feel like it was an important show.” For those who may need a refresher, The Newsroom followed the team behind Atlantic Cable News (Acn), a fictional news station akin to network news like NBC or ABC. Among the ensemble cast led by Jeff Daniels who played lead anchor Will McAvoy, Sadoski portrayed executive producer Don Keefer. HBO One thing...

Intro: Comedies involving a central pair of main characters usually have one thing in common; their premise is generally very simple. Take 1994’s Dumb and Dumber, for example. The Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels all-time classic comedy, in which two hapless, hopeless losers attempt to return a suitcase full of cash to its rightful owner, thrives on how simple both the plot and the two main characters are. The Farrellys had an amazing knack in the 1990s for delivering comedies that were hilarious because they had a simple idea for the plot, plus they weren’t worried about upsetting anybody with outrageous sequences. Those were the days. You couldn’t produce mainstream comedies such as Me, Myself and Irene, Kingpin or There’s Something About Mary nowadays, for fear of upsetting someone.

However, back in the late eighties, audiences, and studios, were a touch more liberal in their thinking, and...

Nothing brings people together like laughter. And over the years, comedy films have continued to lift our spirits and tickle our funny bones. Whether it be slapstick hilarity or clever, dialogue-driven humor, the best comedy movies always deliver something for everyone.

Let’s face it—making an action flick as perfect as Jan de Bont’s Speed is no cakewalk. That 1994 barnburner, featuring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, ran circles around our expectations and became an instant classic. Do you remember the bomber’s dastardly plan? The one where the bus had to stay above 50 miles per hour or it would go up in smoke! This film masterfully wove suspense and action, creating an indelible ride!

From rising star to champion for others, Christopher Reeve blazed a trail of hope. Directors Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui tell Reeve’s inspiring story in Super/Man, documenting the challenges he faced and the good he created in the world.

We learn of Reeve’s journey from a struggling young actor’s breakthrough role as the original Superman to his paralyzing horseback riding accident. Through it all, Reeve’s dedication to others despite his own struggles makes him the embodiment of heroism.

Reeve started simply, training as a theater actor but landing the role of a lifetime as Superman in 1978. With Richard Donner’s film a phenomenon, Reeve became a star yet retained his humility. When a tragic accident left him paralyzed, Reeve could have faded but instead fought to help others.

Through advocacy and his Reeve Foundation, he changed policies and improved countless lives. His optimism, even in darkness,...

Yellowstone has become one of the biggest shows on television, as it should because the series is a brilliant piece of art, which deserves every praise it gets. Created by Taylor Sheridan, the neo-Western drama series revolves around the Dutton family who own the largest ranch in America. While there is a lot of infighting amongst the family they must all stand together to protect what’s there from several enemies.

Robert Downey Jr. could be about to join an exclusive actors club by becoming just the fourth person to win both an Oscar and an Emmy for acting in the same calendar year.

Downey Jr. won Best Supporting Actor at this year’s Oscars for his portrayal of Lewis Strauss in “Oppenheimer.” That Christopher Nolan biopic, which also won Best Picture, followed Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer and depicted the scientist’s creation, and later guilt, of the atomic bomb. Downey Jr’s Strauss was a politician who was once an ally of Oppenheimer only to become his rival. Downey Jr’s portrayal of Strauss, the film’s villain, made him the obvious choice for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar and that remained throughout awards season. He won the BAFTA, Critics Choice, Golden Globe, and SAG awards before he eventually won the Academy Award, beating fellow Oscar nominees Sterling K. Brown...

Before The Morning Show became an Emmy contender (with 16 nominations for its current third season, including outstanding drama series), The Newsroom garnered the TV Academy’s attention by examining the fast-paced world of primetime cable news. The Aaron Sorkin show, which ran on HBO for three seasons starting in 2012, took a West Wing-type approach to TV journalism, presenting the challenge of covering real-life stories from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill to the Boston Marathon bombing.

Jeff Daniels led the cast as Will McAvoy, anchor of the fictional evening news program News Night, whose crew — played by the likes of Emily Mortimer, Sam Waterston and Olivia Munn — are on a mission to cover the news smartly and objectively, ratings be damned. McAvoy sets the tone for the series in its opening scene, with a monologue expounding on why “America is not the greatest country in the world.”

Despite Sorkin’s trademark witty dialogue,...

Veteran actor Jim Carrey has done his fair share of comedies over the decades that he spent in Hollywood. From films like Dumb and Dumber to The Mask, Carrey has done a lot.

However, it wasn’t always smooth sailing for Jim Carrey. A stunt that went horribly wrong on the sets of his 1999 film Man on the Moon, put Jim Carrey on the red list for insurance companies. As always, there are two sides to this story.

Jim Carrey Was Completely In Character

Man on the Moon is a biographical film about the life of real-life comedian Andy Kaufman. Depicting the struggles, joy, survival, and, everything that Kaufman faced throughout his life, the film had Jim Carrey portraying the lead role.

Exclusive: Jeff Daniels (A Man in Full), Jared Harris (Chernobyl) and J.K. Simmons (Being the Ricardos) have signed on to star in Reykjavik, a historical drama from Sk Global (Anyone But You) that chronicles one of the most significant diplomatic achievements of modern times: The Reykjavik Summit.

Reykjavik takes place at the most dangerous point of the Cold War, watching as political enemies Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev meet in Iceland over one long, tense weekend to decide if there will be peace or war in the world.

Daniels plays U.S. President Reagan, with Harris as Soviet leader Gorbachev, and Simmons as United States Secretary of State George Shultz.

Michael Russell Gunn will direct from his own script, in his feature debut, following his work with Sk Global as showrunner of its acclaimed limited series Thai Cave Rescue for Netflix. He also produces alongside John Logan Pierson. Production will commence on location in Reykjavik, Iceland in early October, with extensive filming at Höfði House, the actual site of the 1986 summit.

Sources tell Deadline that Gunn’s project is one that he’s spent years working on and researching. His work began when he drove out to Stanford to interview Secretary of State Shultz before his passing, receiving now-declassified transcripts from the summit. With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the recent revelation that the U.S. will again deploy long-range missiles in Germany, the hope is to reflect on how we, as citizens and as nations, can come together to work past our differences, in pursuit of a better, safer world.

Daniels is coming off of A Man in Full, Netflix’s limited series from David E. Kelley, which adapts the 1998 novel from Tom Wolfe. Recently, he was also seen starring opposite Maura Tierney in the crime drama American Rust, which ran for two seasons.

Most recently boarding Kathryn Bigelow’s new film for Netflix, as we were first to report, Harris also stars in Apple TV+ and Skydance’s sci-fi series Foundation, based on the works of Isaac Asimov, which previewed its forthcoming third season at Comic-Con. Previously garnering Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for Chernobyl, he’s also recently wrapped on the indies Brave the Dark and Reawakening.

Following roles in films like National Champions and Being the Ricardos, Simmons’ upcoming slate includes the Clint Eastwood pic Juror #2, Jason Reitman’s Saturday Night, Amazon’s sequel to The Accountant and holiday event film Red One, and the addiction film The Prince written by David Mamet.

Prior to Thai Cave Rescue, Gunn wrote and produced for the critically acclaimed Showtime series Billions, as well as the political thriller Designated Survivor for ABC and Netflix, having begun his career on Aaron Sorkin’s The Newsroom. On the film side, he sold his script The Virginian about a young George Washington to Warner Bros, and is currently adapting a novel for Charlize Theron at Universal.

Indie studio Sk Global has produced and financed over 100 features, dating back to its origins as Sidney Kimmel Entertainment. Most recently, the company unveiled the acclaimed rom-com Anyone But You, a star-making project for Glen Powell, who led the cast opposite Sydney Sweeney. The Sony pic emerged as a sleeper hit upon its December 2023 release, proving that rom-coms can continue to work theatrically as it grossed over $220 million worldwide. Also recently unveiling the acclaimed limited series Thai Cave Rescue, as well as inspirational docs like Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa, which just debuted on Netflix, the company is also responsible for such acclaimed titles as Crazy Rich Asians, Hell or High Water and The Place Beyond the Pines, among many others.

Daniels is repped by CAA, Martino Management, and Yorn, Levine, Barnes; Harris by CAA, Gateway Management, Independent Talent Group in the UK, and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern; Simmons by Gersh; and Gunn by WME and Artists First.

No one would accuse Hollywood of being rife with level-headed, even-tempered, morally upstanding types. As a result, it’s a rare film set that’s above a little sabotage. These are mostly sad BoJack Horseman-y outmaneuverings, but occasionally, they’re just hilarious.

5 The Studio Did Everything They Could to Not Cast Jeff Daniels in ‘Dumb and Dumber’

In the early ‘90s, Jeff Daniels was known exclusively as a dramatic actor, so when Jim Carrey and the Farrelly Brothers declared him their choice to play Dumb to Carrey’s Dumber, the studio freaked. They decided to offer him the insultingly low salary of $50,000 — in comparison, Carrey got $7 million — sure that he would turn it down. When he didn’t, they spent the first week filming only his scenes without Carrey, expecting to have to replace him. Of course, they didn’t have to, because Daniels somehow didn’t let all that...

Speed is arguably one of Keanu Reeves’ most booming films ever (pun very much intended), both critically and commercially.

It had everything one would want in a good film, especially a good Reeves film – a storyline brimming with action, the anticipation rising with each scene, and a thrilling culmination of the plot. And let’s not forget how the movie gifted us with the dynamic duo of Reeves and Sandra Bullock.

Fans will be surprised to hear that Jim Carrey’s comedy film, Ace Ventura, and Anthony Hopkins’ thriller, The Silence of the Lambs, have a weird connection. Hopkins once revealed to Carrey that they had both used the same method to bring their respective characters to the screen. While Carrey’s titular character was an animal detective, Hopkins’ Hannibal Lecter was a serial killer who ate his victims.

Hopkins managed to creep out The Mask actor by bringing this up during their dinner conversation. The Thor actor went on to bag the Best Actor Award at the 64th Academy Awards for his performance in the film.

“American Rust” has been canceled again.

Amazon Prime Video has opted not to move forward with a third season of the series, Variety has confirmed. Amazon had picked up a second season of the series after it was canceled at its original network home, Showtime, in January 2022. It was originally slated to air on Freevee before it was shifted to Prime Video. All 10 episodes of the second season dropped on March 28.

The first season of the show was based on the Philipp Meyer novel of the same name. Season 2 of “American Rust” was officially titled “American Rust: Broken Justice.” Jeff Daniels led the series along with Maura Tierney, David Alvarez, Alex Neustaedter, Julie Mayorga, Mark Pellegrino, Rob Yang, and Kyle Beltran. Luna Lauren Velez, Marc Menchaca, Nick Sandow, Britian Seibert, Christopher Denham, Amelia Workman, Leon Addison Brown, and Sara Lindsey all joined the show in Season 2.

It was recently announced...

American Rust has been canceled for a second time. Prime Video has opted not to renew the drama starring Jeff Daniels and Maura Tierney for a third season, Deadline has confirmed. The news comes four months after Season 2, titled American Rust: Broken Justice, premiered on the platform and had a quiet run.

The cancellation was foreshadowed by the recent casting of Tierney as a new series regular on NBC’s Law & Order.

American Rust has a long history. It initially was ordered straight-to-series at USA Network in November 2017, but a few months later, the network opted not to move forward with it. At the time, sources said the order was contingent on the producers finding a big star for the lead, which didn’t happen. It then moved to Showtime, with Daniels attached to star and executive produce, where it was picked up and aired for one season. The...

Bryan Cranston is undoubtedly recognized by many as the actor who starred as Walter White in Breaking Bad. The franchise shaped and propelled his career, and from 2008 until 2013, he played the same role alongside Aaron Paul’s Jesse Pinkman.

All of his efforts paid off after winning the Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series category at the Emmy Awards in 2014. It was a bittersweet moment, indeed, as the Breaking Bad show has finally wrapped up and his win was the sweet little bow that completed the present.

Bryan Cranston On His Emmy Win For Breaking Bad Series

While accepting his award at the 2014 Emmy Awards via YouTube, actor Bryan Cranston jokingly began his speech with, “Even I thought about voting for Matthew [McConaughey].” The latter was a fellow nominee who starred in True Detective. The Breaking Bad star continued:

As this morning’s Emmy nominations prove, there may be less TV being made nowadays, but the quality certainly hasn’t declined with the quantity.

As widely expected, The Bear, Baby Reindeer, True Detective: Night Country and Shōgun were mentioned more than once by past Emmy winners Sheryl Lee Ralph and Tony Hale on Wednesday morning. As Television Academy Chair Cris Abrego said, “it was an exceptional year in television.” It certainly seemed exceptional that, for the first time in a long while, the names Succession and Ted Lasso were not heard when the nominations were read, as those multiple winners have wrapped up their runs.

Exclusive: Rustin and A Man In Full star Aml Ameen is leading feature thriller Killing of a Nation, about political unrest and crime in Haiti.

Ameen plays Anderson Toussaint, a young American lobbyist for an investment fund in Haiti who becomes entangled in a web of corruption and power struggles after gaining access to President Jovenel Moise’s inner circle. The country’s political woes ultimately lead to the shocking assassination of Moïse and the country descends further into chaos.

Filming wrapped last month in Panama on the under-the-radar English-language project from director Carlos Bolado (Under California) and writer Jimena Gallardo. Olga Segura is producing with Harold Sánchez.

Actress and producer Segura is known for starring in and producing Amazon series Veronica and has produced movies including Johnny Depp starrer Waiting for the Barbarians, and exec-produced Oren Moverman’s The Dinner and Sundance title The Truth About Emanuel. Bolado is a regular director on long-running Mexican telenovela La Reina del Sur.

I May Destroy You, Porter and The Maze Runner actor Ameen most recently starred opposite Jeff Daniels in the Netflix limited series A Man In Full from David E. Kelley, and portrayed Martin Luther King Jr opposite Colman Domingo in Netflix’s Oscar-nominated Rustin from director George C. Wolfe. He is currently working on a sequel to Christmas rom-com Boxing Day, which he co-wrote, starred in and directed.

Ameen is repped by The Artists Partnership, UTA, Link Entertainment, and attorney Dave Feldman.

Many know actor/musician Jeff Daniels for his roles in classic ‘90s films like “Speed” and “Dumb and Dumber,” as well as his Emmy-winning performance as Will McAvoy in the Aaron Sorkin HBO series “The Newsroom.” However, in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Daniels says he received the greatest camera-acting education during his collaboration with Clint Eastwood on the 2002 mystery thriller “Blood Work.”

Eastwood, notorious for shooting very few takes, if not only one, made Daniels realize preparation and spontaneity are key.

“I do not sit around with casts on any project and talk about our collective journey. I love to make it happen in front of the camera for the first time in take one,” Daniels said. “In Clint Eastwood movies, that’s where I learned it. You get one take, and then Clint’s moving the camera. So that’s where you learn to hit it on one.

The Newsroom provided one of the most iconic moments in TV shows with its “America is not the greatest country in the world” speech. It has been 12 years since the HBO show kicked off with the legendary monologue by Jeff Daniels. While the speech has been etched in the memories of countless fans, it also brought a Primetime Emmy win for Daniels.

Jeff Daniels, who has been popular in the industry for his contributions to films of several genres, starred as news anchor Will McAvoy in The Newsroom. The HBO series made by Aaron Sorkin was a comeback project for the presently 69-year-old actor. Despite its many problems, the political drama is considered an underrated HBO work by many.

There may have not been as much television in 2024 so far as in previous years, but there was a Hell of a lot of great TV in the first half of this year.

The harsh beauty of FX’s Shōgun, the depths of Baby Reindeer and Big Mood, the wit of Diarra from Detroit, and the surprising scope of X-Men ’97 set a very high standard. The icy reset that is the Issa López created True Detective: Night Country was another such high. Add to that the historical script flip of The Sympathizer, the sometimes brutal honestly of Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show, Diane Lane and Jeff Daniels’ masterclass in A Man in Full, and the barrier drop kicking of Echo.

So, if you are looking for some true creative fireworks this Independence Day, may I suggest casting your eyes over our selection of some of the best new shows of 2024 so far.

Naturally, when The View started on Monday morning, fans were quick to pick out that it was a rerun from a past episode. Furthermore, fans are wondering why new episodes aren’t airing and when the table will return with new topics.
