The show headlines a slate presentation for the streamer, which also boasted new unscripted releases and interactive features to come for their livestreams of NBA games starting this fall.

One of the most beloved characters of the show Star Trek: Voyager is The Doctor. Played by Robert Picardo, the character is depicted as an AI hologram who is in charge of medical emergencies aboard the USS Voyager. The character featured in all seven seasons of the show and was a fan-favorite throughout its run.

One of the running gags of the show was that The Doctor did not have a name. Many names were assigned to the character during the show but none of them were revealed to be his actual name. However, an early draft of an episode reportedly almost christened him as Doctor Smokes, but avoided it after rewrites.

Prior to his seven-year stint on "Star Trek: Voyager," Robert Picardo had a lengthy and storied acting career. He was a Joe Dante regular, appearing in "The Howling," "The Explorers," "Innerspace," "The 'Burbs," "Matinee," and "Gremlins 2: The New Batch." He appeared in "Star 80," Ridley Scott's "Legend," the zombie cop film "Dead Heat," and Robert Englund's directorial debut "976-evil." This was all mixed in with plentiful TV work and multiple appearances on stage. Picardo has never been not busy, most recently appearing on a 2024 episode of "Young Sheldon."

Had Picardo never taken the "Star Trek" gig, he still would not have been hurting for work. "Voyager" just happened to be a sizable feather in his cap. "Voyager" simply boosted the actor's visibility and gained him legions of Trekkie fans. On "Voyager," Picardo played the U.S.S. Voyager's nameless Doctor, an Emergency Medical Hologram that had to...

Dark comedy, or comedy-horror, is one of British television's strong points. Misfits, Snuff Box, Jam, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace ... there are many a gem to have crawled out of the twisted and brilliant minds behind British late-night TV that make audiences question whether they should be appalled or enthralled by the Island's unique brand of gallows humor. It's no surprise then, that 2023 brought us a grizzly psychological thriller in the form of Wolf: a shining example of that quintessentially British tone that falls between horrifying and hilarious. Created by Megan Gallagher and adapted from the novel of the same name by author Mo Hayder, Wolf touts an impressive cast that includes both Iwan Rheon and Owen Teale of Game of Thrones fame. If you're looking for a darkly humorous, twisted, and grizzly thriller that coats itself in constant homages to classic horror, Wolf is likely right up your alley. The only problem is that,...

Ron Leibman had a long and successful career in both film and TV, working with notable Hollywood creators and appearing in popular series. Leibman's best theater performances earned him a Tony award, though his film and TV roles were still exceptional.

Ron Leibman, best known for his voice work on the hit animated series Archer, had a filmography full of roles in notable and acclaimed productions. An actor from the early age of 19, Leibman first appeared on screens briefly in the 1956 crime/soap opera The Edge of Night but his film debut in 1970 in Where's Poppa as Sidney Hocheiser was what kicked off a long and steady career in both film and TV. Leibman worked with notable Hollywood creators including Paul Schrader,...

New documentary Millennium After the Millennium looks back at Chris Carter’s beloved series and mulls its future potential

“Aliens and Near Dark star Lance Henriksen plays an ex-fbi agent who peers inside the minds of criminals and works for a sinister organization, all wrapped up in a viciously gory and supernatural bow” ...if you found out this was a brand new show about to materialize on TV this year, you’d get excited, so it’s easy to see why fans of Chris Carter’s dark-as-hell late-90s series Millennium still miss it so much.

Millennium, which ran for three seasons on Fox between 1996 and 1999 before being canceled as ratings dwindled, was a project aimed at letting the creator of The X-Files truly scare himself (and us) during an era when he was objectively at the height of his success, and the series welcomed a huge...

With outposts in Copenhagen, Stockholm and Oslo, Miso Film has become one of the most influential film and TV outfits in Scandinavia. On August 19, the company’s Norwegian arm lifted the curtain on its series venture, the supernatural police drama “Seizure” by premiering the show’s first two episodes at the Haugesund Film Festival ahead of its future broadcast on Nent Group’s Viaplay streaming platform.

Bowing as part of Haugesund’s Nordic TV Drama program, the show follows two Oslo detectives, played by popular local actors Anders Danielsen Lie and Anders Baasmo Christiansen (“Kon-Tiki”), as they investigare the deaths of four immigrant boys. Set against an intense backdrop of personal trauma, violent weather and otherworldly apparitions, the show mixes elements of traditional Scandi Noir with a more supernatural twist.

Variety spoke with show-writer Megan Gallagher, who had previously co-created the Nordic Noir “Borderliner,” a TV2 original that aired on Netflix internationally.

Yesterday, Marvel released a ton of new Avengers: Endgame character posters that exhibited an array of heroes expected to feature in next month’s release, while also remembering some of the figures who’ve passed away in recent McU history. We even received confirmation that Valkyrie will feature in the Avengers: Infinity War sequel, but to the disappointment of some fans, one of Tessa Thompson’s most beloved Thor: Ragnarok co-stars was nowhere to be seen.

Last year’s Infinity War had by far the highest body count of any Marvel movie to date, but one character whose fate was left up in the air was Taika Waititi’s Korg. By the time the film opened, the soft-spoken warrior had either escaped Thanos’ attack on Thor’s ship or been among the Mad Titan’s victims, and we’ve yet to find out which. So when it became clear that...

Hey, NCIS fans. It's another one of those times again where we have to tell you that your favorite show will be missing in action. This time, CBS is delaying the airing of the next, new episode 17. Instead of it airing on Tuesday night March 19, 2019, it will air on Tuesday night,March 26, 2019. So, be sure to mark down that very important date down on your TV show calendars. What will CBS be airing instead of the new, 17th episode of NCIS season 16 this Tuesday night? According to the TV Guide listings, they will still be airing NCIS. However, it will just be a rerun. The rerun will be the episode that's titled, "Beneath The Surface." It originally aired way back on October 30, 2018. The official description for that repeat episode reads like this, "After NCIS arrives at a Halloween crime scene, Torres recognizes the victim as a former friend from federal law enforcement training.

Tfh Fearless Leader Joe Dante very astutely tip-toes around Larry Cohen’s stylistic filmmaking identity early on in King Cohen: The Wild World of Filmmaker Larry Cohen. Dante notes, “I would hardly call him the John Cassavetes of exploitation movies, but he does have a certain raw, visceral, realistic style.” Indeed, Larry Cohen’s signature film, Q: The Winged Serpent (1982), feels like what would happen if John Cassavetes directed a Ray Harryhausen film. And movie fans the world over are all the better for that most unlikely of authorial fusions!

For cineastes in La, King Cohen debuts Friday, July 20th, at Laemmle’s Ahrya Fine Arts Theatre. There will be supplemental shows on the 23rd at the NoHo 7, and the Laemmle Monica on the 26th. It will expand to other select markets on July 27th (keep a sharp eye on the flick’s official site for further screening details). The...
