Before he was writing half the shows on Paramount+, Taylor Sheridan was an actor. The man behind shows like "Yellowstone" and "Tulsa King" and the scripts for films including "Sicario" and "Hell or High Water" cut his teeth with screen work, a pastime he occasionally returns to when he needs someone to play, say, a cool cowboy who's dating Bella Hadid.

Years before he became known as a Hollywood cowboy, I knew Sheridan as a mysterious man named Danny Boyd in the plucky teen detective show "Veronica Mars," and as the hate-worthy cop Deputy David Hale on FX's "Sons of Anarchy." Those may have been two of Sheridan's most high-profile TV roles, but they're far from his only acting credits. He's had bit parts going all the way back to "Walker, Texas Ranger" in 1995, and can be seen in one-off roles in shows like "CSI," "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,...

Despite strong performances from a stellar cast and potent symbolism offering compelling ideas, Grotesquerie doesnt evolve much past its plodding narrative and scattershot story. The new FX series was created by Ryan Murphy, best known for co-creating American Horror Story for the same network. His latest horror mystery offers a similar feel to the anthology show, as seasoned Detective Lois Tryon (Niecy Nash-Betts) investigates a series of grisly murders in her small town. She soon teams up with a local nun, Sister Megan (Micaela Diamond), after learning the killings have key religious connotations.

Grotesquerie episode 3 is now streaming on Hulu after airing on FX on Oct. 2 and it sees Travis Kelce make his grand entrance. Let’s review the NFL player’s acting debut and highlight the main events that happen in this wild episode.

Spoiler alert! If you are not caught up on Grotesquerie, go stream the episode now on Hulu before reading ahead. No, seriously. This review dives into big time spoilers. Final warning.

Episode 3 of the horror drama gives audiences a look into the relationship between Lois Tryon (Niecy Nash-Betts) and her daughter Merritt (Raven Goodwin). They each have dangerous addictions – Lois to alcohol and Merritt to food, specifically gaining weight. It’s a no-brainer that Lois doesn’t want to support Merritt’s weight goals, but if she says anything to her daughter, Merritt will point out how much Lois drinks.

It’s sad to see. They both care and worry about each other,...

"Want what I got? You gotta go all the way." Mill Creek Entertainment has revealed the official trailer for a crime thriller film titled Dead Wrong, the latest from filmmaker Rick Bieber (no relation to Justin Bieber Afaik). This is set for a VOD release at the end of May if anyone is interested in giving this a look. A story of greed, envy, sex and murder. A narcissistic husband is not satisfied anymore and wants more. He devises a psychotic, get-rich-quick scheme with his new, gambling-addicted attorney that ignites an emotional and deadly chain reaction. Which quickly overwhelms the lives of those around him. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? This stars Derek Smith, Katrina Bowden, Chelsea Debo, Cress Williams, Blake Shields, Rosalie Ward, Joshua Bitton, Chet Hanks, with Rob Schneider. Alas this doesn't look like it's worth a rental. // Continue Reading ›...

“Bupkis” Season 2 is bupkis. Star Pete Davidson has confirmed that he has opted not to continue with his semi-autobiographical Peacock comedy, which had previously been renewed for a second season.

“I’ve always seen Bupkis as a window into my life, since it is so personal and about my struggles and family,” Davidson said ina. statement. “After nearly a decade of my personal life being in the media I wanted a chance to tell my story my way. Of all the work I’ve ever done, Bupkis is by far what I’m most proud of. I am so grateful to Lorne Michaels and Broadway Video, Peacock, Universal Television and the amazing cast and writers for helping me create something honest, funny and heartfelt. I do also feel that this part of my life is finished. I’m very excited for this next chapter and for you guys to see the work.

Clients joining her at her new company include Peri Gilpin (Frasier), Luke Tennie (Shrinking), Firas Nassar (Invasion), Boris McGiver, Erik Laray Harvey (Godfather of Harlem), Chipo Ching (Black Cake), Sasson Gabay (Shtisel), Alon Aboutboul (Snowfall), Josh Bitton (The Pacific), Brad Beyer (Thank You for Your Service), and Caroline Clay (Grey’s Anatomy).

Paz is one of myriad A3 alums to have found their next destination following A3’s dissolution, on which we were first to report.

A natural fit at Abrams,...

What is it about Pete Davidson?

That’s the question that comes up every time the tabloids report on his dating life, every time we hear about Lorne Michaels taking him on vacation or Jeff Bezos promising to shoot him into space. It sometimes seems even to extend to his roles — like his signature Saturday Night Live character Chad, a totally unremarkable dude who nevertheless attracts attention and adoration everywhere he goes.

It’s a question that might find its way to your lips again as you scan the eye-watering list of cameos for Davidson’s new Peacock dramedy Bupkis — everyone from Machine Gun Kelly (of course) to Ray Romano (why not) to Al Gore (what?). Heck, it’s more or less the premise of Bupkis, created by Davidson (alongside Judah Miller and David Sirus) and starring Davidson as a fictionalized version of himself. Based on the season’s eight uneven episodes,...

Can you imagine what it’s like to be Pete Davidson, a man whose dating life is the source of dozens of memes and hundreds of gossip pieces? Experience the life of the former SNL star in Peacock’s new eight-episode half-hour comedy, Bupkis. No imagination is required.

Peacock describes the new show as raw and semi-autobiographical. Premiering on Thursday, May 4, 2023, Bupkis follows Pete Davidson as he navigates his family’s unconventional dynamics and learns to find genuine connections amidst the challenges of fame. Supported by big-name guest stars, Bupkis straddles reality and absurdity to best represent what it is to be Pete Davidson (according to Peacock).

Pete Davidson leads the cast as himself, four-time Emmy Award winner Edie Falco plays his mom, and Oscar winner Joe Pesci (GoodFellas) stars as Pete’s grandfather.

Exclusive: Rob Schneider has joined the cast of writer-director Rick Bieber’s indie, Dead Wrong.

He’ll star alongside Cress Williams (Black Lightning), Katrina Bowden (30 Rock), Derek Smith (What/If), Chelsea Debo (Separation), Rosalie Ward (Saints & Sinners), Chet Hanks (Your Honor) and Joshua Bitton (Red Riding Hoods).

The crime drama based on K.E. Clark’s novel Deadly Instinct follows Billy Evans (Smith), a narcissist of psychotic proportions who, blinded with jealousy over the wealth accumulated by his best friend and local mob boss (Hanks), schemes to steal his infant son to obtain a multi-million dollar settlement from the hospital’s insurance company. In so doing, he ignites a chain reaction that overwhelms the lives of his now suicidal wife (Bowden), her nymphomaniacal younger sister (Debo) with whom he’s having an affair, a deeply indebted gambling and alcoholic lawyer (Schneider), a Brooklyn born bookmaker/pimp...

It was the end of an era on The Rookie Season 3 Episode 9 as two of our three original rookies were moving on...and leaving Nolan behind.

At different moments, this installment had my heart in my throat, tears in my eyes, and even produced uncontrollable laughter. That's a testament to just how good this show can be.

Let's start with the Amber Alert, which definitely upped my heart rate. Lopez's feelings were spot on for many new parents or anyone who recalls what it was like to be one.

More than 25 Los Angeles area theater companies, including the Geffen Playhouse, the Pasadena Playhouse and the Deaf West Theatre, have revoked their memberships in the L.A. Stage Alliance after the nonprofit organization misidentified and mispronounced the name of Asian actress Jully Lee at an awards show earlier this week.

The L.A. Stage Alliance has issued an apology and pledged to undertake “a visible and transparent transformation.”

The incident occurred Tuesday night at the virtual Ovation Awards for local theater productions. Lee’s first name was mispronounced when the nominees for best featured actress were read, and a photo of another Asian actress was shown onscreen.

Lee was nominated for her performance in Jiehae Park’s Hannah and the Dread Gazebo, a co-presentation of East West Players and the Fountain Theatre. The following day, East West Players left the organization, posting an Instagram statement saying, in part, “The mispronouncing...

"Something happened at the speakeasy." A trailer has arrived for an indie sci-fi thriller titled The Tangle, from actor / filmmaker Christopher Soren Kelly making his feature directorial debut. Described as a "lyrical new science-fiction film" and quotes in the trailer say it's "a chess game of a film" that's both ingenious and ambitious, a complex story intertwining sci-fi with meticulous filmmaking. The film is set in a future where microdrones have been invented, filling the air, the water, and our blood. "In this world, it is impossible to keep a secret anywhere but in your S.O.L. (the "Secure OnTangle Line"), a quantum encrypted hard drive implanted in your brain." The plot follows a murder investigation involving secret government agents and The Tangle creators and more. Starring Joshua Bitton, Christopher Soren Kelly, Jessica Graham, Nicole da Silva, Anil Kumar, Mary Jane Wells, and Bel Deliá. This looks cool, I'm curious to watch.

"Am I really here?" -Naz Because "The Beach" has been available for a few weeks through HBO's On Demand and streaming services, I've gotten to see the early reactions to it, which tend to break down along three paths: 1)That was unbearable to watch because I felt so bad for Naz as his night out went so horribly awry; 2)That was unbearable to watch because Naz acted like such a complete idiot at every turn; 3)Even though I felt bad for Naz, and/or couldn't believe how stupid he kept being, I was riveted by the whole thing.

The wheels have not come off the bus at Castle‘s 12th precinct, even with Kate Beckett having moved on to fight crime in D.C.

In fact, Seamus Dever says that for Detectives Ryan and Esposito, “Life is good without Kate.”

Speaking with TVLine on the set of the ABC drama, as it was shooting this week’s episode, Dever explained, “Everyone thought, ‘Oh, it’s all going to fall apart,’ but Ryan and Esposito keep on trucking.” Scene partner Jon Huertas concurs, saying, “Esposito and Ryan have always been competent detectives, and now they get to step up and run the show.

In the new "Need To Know" episode , with Beckett still in D.C., Castle and the boys are going to investigate the murder of former child star, Charlie Reynolds, who rose to fame ,playing the lovable nerd on an early 90s High School sitcom. But the case will end up, taking a turn for the strange when Agents Beckett and McCord show up from Washington to take over the investigation, creating competitive tension in the precinct. But why would a washed-up actor's death warrant Federal scrutiny? Whatever the reason,...

Warning: This story discusses plot points from Castle’s season premiere. Do not proceed if you haven’t watched.

But the rest of you may read on for some fun scoop from executive producer Andrew Marlowe, who talks about what’s next for newly engaged Castle and Beckett!

Entertainment Weekly: She said yes!! But almost immediately, Castle and Beckett learned they were going to have to spend time apart. I thought that was a bold move but I also liked how the premiere had a nice balance of keeping them apart and together. How hard did you work at achieving that?...

We're less than two weeks away from learning the answer to the most pressing question of Castle Season 6:

Will Kate accept Rick's proposal?

But while we can't reveal that answer just yet, we can give fans their first look at Joshua Bitton, who will debut as Detective Grant Sullivan on Episode 3 and stick around the 12th Precinct as a law enforcement officer set on proving himself to Castle and company. Will be replacing a D.C.-bound Beckett at work?

"Castle" Season 6 will bring some new faces to the NYPD and its murder cases. Antonio Sabato Jr. and Joshua Bitton have been announced as guest stars in the upcoming season.

"Saved by the Bell" homage gets its Slater

Antonio Sabato Jr., best known for his roles on soap operas "The Bold and the Beautiful" and "General Hospital," will guest-star in episode 3 of Season 6. Sabato will play Ramon Russo, the heartthrob actor who once appeared in a '90s teen sitcom, "2 Cool for School." One of the actors gets murdered around the time of a reunion special, prompting a police investigation (as reported by TVGuide.com).

Considering the actor's Latin hunkiness, it's likely that Ramon Russo will be the fictional answer to Mario Lopez, who played Aj Slater on "Saved by the Bell." Sabato's episode is titled "Need to Know."

Castle returns with its new season on Monday, Sept.

The Pacific actor Joshua Bitton has joined HBO's new crime drama Criminal Justice. The pilot - loosely based on the BBC drama of the same name - will see James Gandolfini return to the cable network that made his name with The Sopranos. Gandolfini will play down-and-out lawyer Jack Stone, while Bitton has now been cast as noble cop Officer Maldonado, according to Variety. Bitton's recent credits include guest stints on Private Practice, Unforgettable and Harry's Law. The Wire writer Richard Price is adapting Peter Moffat's UK series for the HBO pilot, with (more)...

Touting itself as based on true events (and feeling very much financed by some of the parties depicted in the movie), it’s a period piece that [ Read More ]...

Odd feelings all-round for this second episode of the season. Not that I don't find most of Jane's (Simon Baker) antics amusing, but this was more of a farce with a goal in sight that took way too long to be achieved. And I don't like seeing other agents making themselves at home in Team Lisbon's bullpen. Period. It seems our little band of agents is still feeling the effects of the botched operation against the Red John-ish minion that Jane blew away. Lisbon (Robin Tunney) is suspended. Rigsby (Owain Yeoman) is working glorified guard duty at the front door, Cho (Tim Kang) has been reassigned and Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti) is still getting her head shrunk for being involved with a homicidal minion. Jane isn't happy about it, but Bertram has assigned him back to work with a new team who has effectively moved right into Lisbon's team's home.

Chicago – HBO’s “Band of Brothers” has been an annual bestseller around the holiday season, first on DVD and now on Blu-ray, and it seems virtually impossible that their equally-notable “The Pacific,” now on Blu-ray and DVD, would not follow it up the charts and turn out to be one of the most-given HD gifts of the upcoming season. With perfect HD picture and sound, fascinating special features, and one of the best mini-series in the history of television, this is a highlight of a very-impressive season for Blu-ray.

Blu-Ray Rating: 5.0/5.0

“The Pacific” is simply spectacular. The winner of an amazing eight Emmys, including Outstanding Mini-Series, “The Pacific” is really in a class of its own. It is much more than a mere shadow or duplication of “Band of Brothers.” It stands on its own, not merely because the Pacific arena of World War II combat was significantly different than the European fight,...

The Pacific – Episode 10

Stars: James Badge Dale, Joe Mazzello, Jon Seda, Joshua Biton, Brendan Fletcher | Directed by Jeremy Podeswa

And so the miniseries concludes. I aren’t sure why they called it a miniseries, there has been very little ‘mini’ about it. I was wrong to anticipate that Little Boy and Fat Man’s visits to Hiroshima and Nagasaki would be featured in this episode. Instead, we are shown the marine’s return to civilian life and their troubles readjusting. To be honest, I found this frustrating. The Americans may have suffered unbelievable hardships and may have found themselves strangers in their own homes upon their return, but the programme completes neglects the fact that the Japanese suffered the most unprecedented destruction there has ever been in warfare. The Pacific has absolutely nothing to say about the horror of nuclear warfare, which, along with its consistent failure to humanise the...

The Pacific – Episode 9

Stars: James Badge Dale, Joe Mazzello, Jon Seda, Joshua Biton, Brendan Fletcher | Directed by Timothy Van Patten

The action continues not in Iwo Jima, as I had expected, but on the island of Okinawa. I guess they thought Clint Eastwood had covered that battle pretty comprehensively. We are once again reunited with Sledge and Snafu, who have been joined by new recruits, among them Peck and Hamm.

The fighting is as fierce as it gets, though this campaign is complicated not only by the sheer amount of mud – making it impossible for dead bodies to be removed, so they are left to rot – but by the presence of Okinawa citizens. Sledge has become a hard and cold man, barking orders and abuse at the new arrivals. Hamm fits in well with the team but Peck proves problematic. He carries a picture of a woman who may or...

The Pacific – Episode 8

Stars: James Badge Dale, Joe Mazzello, Jon Seda, Joshua Biton, Brendan Fletcher | Directed by David Nutter & Jeremy Podeswa

Crushingly, as we learn at the start of this installment in the epic series, the marines’ efforts at Peleliu were largely pointless: after securing it, the American forces never used again. Instead, they simply moved on to Iwo Jima, an island that would prove critical in the Pacific campaign.

Before we get there however, our focus switches to John Basilone and his work on the home front. We see him performing in a stilted radio play and losing touch with his family. His desire to return to active duty is increasing by the day. Whilst his request to return to the frontline is denied, a compromise is reached when John is offered the opportunity to help train recruits in California.

John throws himself into his new role with gusto and the recruits idolise him.

The Pacific – Episode 7

Stars: James Badge Dale, Joe Mazzello, Jon Seda, Joshua Biton, Brendan Fletcher | Directed by Timothy Van Patten

Having taken the airfield, Sledge and the other marines must flush out the Japanese troops from the Bloody Nose Ridge, a rocky area of Peleliu, in which the Japanese have constructed a series of caves and tunnels from which they are launching ferocious ambushes.

Sledge battles to save his own soul, as his father had feared for back in Part Two. As the battles rage on, he becomes more and more desensitised and numbed by the violence and horror being inflicted both on him and his friends and by them.

Basilone, meanwhile, is continuing his tour of American flogging war bonds. He seems to be becoming increasingly anxious to return to active duty, despite the nightmarish flashbacks he is having. His medal of honour meaningless to him, he retreats into solitude and golf.
