If fans couldn’t get enough of Carter in action fighting Deacon on The Bold and the Beautiful, then they’re in for a treat. While the actor has had a long career, he hasn’t been in too many action or thriller films. He recently shared how much he enjoyed the show’s karate fight and is now starring in a BET+ film that will fill the fans’ need to see him in a thrilling new role.

A Roller Coaster Ride

The trailer for the new film, The Accused, promises a roller coaster ride as Dani West (Paige Aubrey-Marie Hurd) is framed for the murder of her fiancé. According to the press release, “Forced to go on the run, Dani, a plant geneticist that discovers a dark side to her brilliant work, must use her intelligence and resilience to uncover the truth before time runs out.”

Lawrence Saint-Victor’s alter ego, Carter, went through a power trip. He wanted to make it big at Forrester Creations. Unfortunately, that fell apart. Unlike his onscreen persona on The Bold and the Beautiful, Saint-Victor made it big in a good way. He shared this moment with fans on social media.

Seeing His Name In Lights

Saint-Victor shared his travels to New York City on Instagram. He ended up in Times Square, where a billboard caught his eye. He saw himself in neon lights. There was a poster of Saint-Victor’s new movie, The Accused. The image also featured his co-stars, Paige Audrey-Marie Hurd and Summer Crockett Moore.

“Time Square!!!! Check out my new film, The Accused, streaming on @betplus on April 10th!!” Saint-Victor wrote in the caption. He included several shots of the moment, along with a closeup of the movie poster. In the BET original thriller, Saint-Victor plays...

Lawrence Saint-Victor is set to take on corruption as a detective in the BET+ original movie, “The Accused.”

Set to premiere Thursday, April 10 on the preeminent streaming service for Black audiences, Saint-Victor will play Detective Lance Branson, a dedicated and hard-working police detective who balances his demanding career with the responsibilities of being a husband and father-to-be.

A man of integrity, deeply committed to justice, and often going above and beyond in his investigations, Lance’s latest case sees him seeking out the truth when a brilliant plant geneticist is framed for her fiance’s murder.

Paige Audrey-Marie Hurd plays the accused Dani West who must go on the run, relying on her intelligence and physical prowess to expose the truth and clear her name before time runs out.

In addition to Saint-Victor and Hurd, the cast includes Crystal Lee Brown as Victoria Goode, Summer Crockett Moore as Detective Nadine Styles,...

Lawrence Saint-Victor’s Carter has certainly run the gamut of emotions on The Bold and the Beautiful lately. He went from feeling elated when he snatched Forrester Creations away from Ridge, Steffy, and Eric to feeling like a heel for betraying his friends and pseudo-family. He also went from thinking he was in love with Hope to having mixed emotions about Daphne. Saint-Victor’s been having a field day with these storylines and now he gets to branch out into the thriller genre.

She Was Framed

On Instagram, the online streaming service BET Plus shared a post with Saint-Victor that stated, “Corruption, conspiracy, and murder! How far will Dani go to prove her innocence and uncover the truth behind her fiancé’s death. Watch @thugginn, @crystalleebrown, @lsaintvic, and @rockmonddunbar in #TheAccusedBETPlus, streaming April 10th!”

ER star Sharif Atkins is experiencing a little bit of deja vu. Once again, the actor -- who portrayed Dr. Michael Gallant for five years -- is on a medical drama. Once again, that medical drama airs on NBC. But when Atkins guest stars on Chicago Med in the Oct. 2 episode, he won't be wearing a white coat. And he's liable to break viewers' hearts.

In Season 10, Episode 2, entitled "Bite Your Tongue," Atkins portrays Joe Thomas, who's devastated to learn that his son's cancer has returned. As if that wasn't emotional enough, Joe and his wife are startled when the recently arrived Dr. John Frost wants to tell their child the whole truth about what he's facing. Cbr spoke to Atkins about guesting on Chicago Med, and telling a medical story from the other side of the clipboard.

Cbr: You spent most of five seasons on ER playing a doctor.

Sharif Atkins knows a thing or two about medical dramas, and yet, he’s about to enter uncharted hospital territory.

The actor spent five years on ER as Dr. Michael Gallant, but on this Wednesday’s Chicago Med (NBC, 8/7c), Atkins is trading in his white doctor’s coat to play an underage patient’s father this time around. And instead of being the physician, Atkins will be butting heads with one, Dr. John Frost (Darren Barnet).

“It was a flashback, for sure,” says Sharif Atkins of stepping back on the set of a medical drama set for his guest spot on Chicago Med. He played Dr. Michael Gallant on ER across five seasons of its 15-year run (1994-2009) on the same network. Now, he appears in the October 1 episode of Med, as Joe Thomas, alongside Crystal Lee Brown as his wife Gina. Their son, Max (Kevin Chacon), is a patient at Gaffney. “It’s being on the other side of the clipboard, right? I’m now the person being taken care of or looked after or what have you,” Atkins tells TV Insider. “It just reminds me of [being on ER]. I remember the first scene that I did, Laura Innes was directing the episode, and I was taking some vitals for an elderly patient. And so it’s really cool to have been back in Chicago and to...

In its first season, Hightown drew very low ratings -- until the final two episodes of the season. That surge suggests that many viewers were watching much of the series via some kind of delayed viewing and that bump in the ratings may have helped the Starz show secure a second renewal.

The second season picks up about six weeks after the events in the Season 1 finale, around Halloween, in Cape Cod’s desolate, cold but still achingly beautiful off-season. The tourists are gone, and all of our characters are in a different place compared to where they were at the beginning of Season One. The weak are now powerful, and the powerful are now weak. But beyond that, there is darkness beneath the surface of all of our main characters, particularly Jackie and Ray. Both have shadow sides of their personality...

This The Good Lord Bird review contains spoilers.

The Good Lord Bird Episode 2

During several moments of tonight’s The Good Lord Bird, my mind was whisked back to thoughts of My Fair Lady—or at least George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion. In those texts, two confirmed old bachelors in Edwardian England think it is their privilege, if not duty, to remake a poor flower girl into their perfect image. It’s a tale of possessive manipulation and outright obliviousness. And it’s given a distinctly American flavor in the first few hours of Ethan Hawke’s Good Lord Bird.

Like those earlier plays, here is a story where privileged white men, even well-intentioned Old John Brown, think it their right to remake Onion into the type of lady they see fit, all too blind by even their rosy colored racism to ask “her” opinion, or realize that she’s actually a boy.

It’s Daytime Emmys weekend, celebrating the best in daytime and streaming programming and spanning achievements in dramas, game shows, talk shows, animated programs, and more. The awards were presented in two parts. The lion’s share of hardware was handed out at the Creative Arts Awards on Friday night, May 3, with the rest of the categories to follow on Sunday night, May 5, during a live streaming webcast. Scroll down for the complete list of Creative Arts winners as they’re announced.

Hosted by David Osmond (“Wonderama”), the Creative Arts ceremony honored performers, writers, directors and various below-the-line craftspeople, among other daytime TV professionals. The presenters who handed out trophies were Laila Ali (“Home Made Simple”), Lamon Archey (“Days of Our Lives”), Bob Bergen (“Wabbit”), Sasha Calle (“The Young and the Restless”), Anne Marie Cummings (“Conversations in L.A.”), Tiffany Derry (“Top Chef Junior”), Najee De-Tiege (“The Bay”), Akbar Gbaja-Biamila...

"Best way to get over a man, is to get up under a new one." Paramount has released a final red band trailer for Nobody's Fool, the new comedy from filmmaker Tyler Perry, which is just a bit different than his Madea films in the past. This wacky movie stars two of the most popular actresses - Tiffany Haddish and Tika Sumpter - as sisters. Tanya (Haddish) is released from prison and moves in with her sister Danica (Sumpter), who discovers she is in an online relationship with a man that may be "catfishing" her. The full cast includes Whoopi Goldberg, Missi Pyle, Courtney Henggeler, Omari Hardwick, Amber Riley, and Crystal Lee Brown. The first trailer didn't look that great, and this one looks even worse, despite the "dirty" humor that they're allowed to include in this red band trailer. Just not my knid of comedy. Have fun.

"If a man looks too good to be true - he is!!" Paramount has debuted the first official trailer for Nobody's Fool, the new comedy from filmmaker Tyler Perry, something a bit different than his Madea films in the past. This wacky movie stars two of the most popular actresses - Tiffany Haddish and Tika Sumpter - as sisters. Tanya (Haddish) is finally released from prison and reunites with her sister Danica (Sumpter), who discovers she is in an online relationship with a man that may be "catfishing" her. The full ensemble cast includes Whoopi Goldberg, Missi Pyle, Courtney Henggeler, Omari Hardwick, Amber Riley, and Crystal Lee Brown. This looks about is absurd and slightly funny as you might expect from Tyler Perry, not really my cup of tea. Maybe some of you will be into seeing this just because of Haddish? Check this out.

“My momma always said, .Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get..” That line was immortalized by Tom Hanks in the award-winning movie “Forest Gump” in 1994. Librarian of Congress James H. Billington today selected that film and 24 others to be preserved as cultural, artistic and historical treasures in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress.

Spanning the period 1912-1994, the films named to the registry include Hollywood classics, documentaries, animation, home movies, avant-garde shorts and experimental motion pictures. Representing the rich creative and cultural diversity of the American cinematic experience, the selections range from Walt Disney.s timeless classic “Bambi” and Billy Wilder.s “The Lost Weekend,” a landmark film about the devastating effects of alcoholism, to a real-life drama between a U.S. president and a governor over the desegregation of the University of Alabama. The selections also...

I’m never one to put significant stock in the film-based choices made by any kind of committee — be it an awards group, critics circle, soup kitchen line, etc. — but the National Film Registry is a little different. Not that they’re any different than those aforementioned organization types, but because the government assemblage preserves works deemed “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.” No small potatoes.

Their latest list — created for both public awareness and the opportunity to grumble, as I’ll do in a second — has been unveiled, and the selections are none too out-of-left-field. The biggest of these 25 would have to be Forrest Gump, a choice I fully understand but completely disagree with on an opinion and moral scale. The only other true objection I can raise is toward El Mariachi, film school-level junk from a director whose finest works are the direct result of working with those more talented.
