Toronto-born actor Zack Ward has racked up an impressive onscreen resume, ranging from being a series regular on Fox sitcom “Titus” to appearances on series ranging from “Chicago Fire” to “Mike and Molly” to “American Horror Story”.

Less than a week after announcing that Ridley Scott’s “All the Money in the World” will no longer serve as its closing-night film, AFI Fest has announced that Aaron Sorkin’s directorial debut “Molly’s Game” will now close the festival. The film, which stars Jessica Chastain as the real-life proprietor of a high-stakes poker game, had already been announced as part of AFI Fest but will now get pride of place as the final film to screen during the weeklong event.

You know how they say smoking marijuana can make anything funny? Well, whoever said that never watched Netflix’s appallingly bad new weed-com Disjointed. Because it would take a tractor-trailer full of ganja to make this mess tolerable.

Kathy Bates and American Horror Story are going their separate ways.

After a three-year stint on FX’s beloved anthology series, one that included eye-catching performances in Freak Show and Roanoke – her turn as real-life socialite Madame Marie Delphine Lalaurie was a particularly memorable one – it’s been confirmed that the Oscar-winning actress won’t feature in American Horror Story: Cult whatsoever.

Word comes by way of The Hollywood Reporter (h/t Bloody Disgusting), which compiled an overview of Cult, its central themes, and all of the cast members on board. Turns out Bates isn’t listed alongside the likes of Ahs mainstays Evan Peters and Sarah Paulson, as THR notes that the actress is committed to her upcoming Netflix comedy Disjointed, which is hailing from Chuck Lorre, creative mind behind Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory, and the relatively short-lived Mike & Molly.

Stretching for 11 episodes in total,...

While appearing at London’s Comic-Con this past weekend, Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch spilled on the detective’s love life – or lack thereof.

The Doctor Strange and soon-to-be Avengers: Infinity War actor fielded questions about his turn as the famous super-sleuth, and even touched base on the speculation linking him with the vacant (?) Bond 25 role. Indeed, Cumberbatch is a name that’s been tossed around numerous times before when it comes to James Bond, along with the likes of Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba, and even Jason Statham, but all signs currently point to Daniel Craig returning for one last hurrah in time for 2019.

Getting back to Sherlock, though, during last weekend’s panel, Benedict Cumberbatch addressed the romantic element underpinning the hit BBC detective series, joking that there’s only one true partner for Mr. Holmes.

“Now, there’s only one choice, isn’t there? Come on,” he told the audience of fans,...

We’ve scoured Sherlock’s The Final Problem for tiny details and references to other stories, and here’s what we found…

Warning: contains spoilers.

See related Travelers: why you should watch Netflix's new time travel show Travelers: first trailer for Netflix time travel series

With the help of the pause button and a pot of strong coffee, we’ve picked through Sherlock’s series four finale The Final Problem to seek out the nerdy references and painstakingly added background details. (You can find the same for the previous episodes here and here.)

Here goes…

1. Starting with the obvious, The Final Problem is of course the title of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s 1893 short story in which Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty appear to tumble to their deaths in the Reichenbach Falls. Andrew Scott’s Moriarty references the title several times in series two finale The Reichenbach Fall.

Screen icon Debbie Reynolds died on Wednesday at the age of 84 after suffering a stroke. Her death came one day after her daughter, actress Carrie Fisher, died at age 60 after going into cardiac arrest on a flight from London to Los Angeles last week.

The celebrated song and dance legend's storied career was defined by her entertaining, energetic and thoughtful performances that gave the world some of the most enjoyable and enduring films ever.

In celebration of Reynolds' incomparable life and legacy, Et is taking a look back at some of the star's greatest roles.

1. Singin' in the Rain (1952)

Amy Poehler and Tina Fey made history Thursday morning. The pals were nominated in the Guest Actress in a Comedy Emmy category for hosting “Saturday Night Live.”

That’s not unusual — “SNL” hosts are nominated for Emmys all the time. But here’s what’s unique: Poehler and Fey were nominated as a single, combined entity. Earlier this year, the TV Academy accepted their joint submission, and their names appeared together on nomination ballots.

That’s never happened in an acting category before because, well, a person is generally one person. But this was a unique circumstance: “SNL” guest hosts are eligible for guest star Emmys – but usually even comedy teams are nominated separately. (For example, Keegan-Michael Key is nominated this year for “Key & Peele” in the supporting comedy actor category, but Jordan Peele is not.

For the season, CBS (which hosted the Super Bowl) led all broadcasters in both the demo (averaging a 2.3) and in total viewers (averaging 10.9 million). NBC placed second with an average 2.1 rating and 8.1 million viewers. (Rounding out the Big 5, Fox averaged 1.9 and 5.7 million, ABC did 1.8 and 6.8 million, and The CW averaged 0.8 and 2 million.)
