Josh McDermitt – Suits LA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0KMvx4y2-o What exactly was it that turned the original Suits into such a phenom? That first episode really hooks me — that job interview scene between Mike and Harvey was so compelling and cool. I just liked the dynamics between the characters. I liked the story. The dialogue was great. It was witty, it…

Cindy Busby & Christopher Russell – When Hope Calls

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwTuJBB_ipc Season one came out way back in 2019. With so much time passing, and these new characters joining the cast, is this more reboot than second season? CINDY: It feels like a little bit of a changing of the guard, so to speak. However, there are a lot of returning characters as well…

Chris O’Dowd – Small Town, Big Story

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS1Jacq08jM What exactly appealed to you about this culture clash of big-time Hollywood and small-town Ireland? In terms of a small town in the eyes of a Hollywood executive — that didn’t interest me so much. It was more the perspective of the people as they look out at the world. The show, entirely,…

Diane Farr – Fire Country

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UFyPUOKbEQ The show is set in small-town Northern California, but it’s shot in B.C. Do you enjoy it up here? British Columbia is like that boyfriend that I accidentally caught feelings for. I had zero interest in being here . . . I had only ever done pilots, so I was only here in…

Jennifer Whalen & Meredith MacNeill – Small Achievable Goals

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfWQd0tiRdE What do these two mismatched characters bring out in each other? JENNIFER: Julie, is, for lack of a better word, a bit “tight-a**ed.” I think that she needs to embrace some of Kris’ freedom. Literally — my character doesn’t like hugging! She needs to “embrace” all of that. Kris brings a sense of…

Robb Wells – The Trades

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myznN-6g3gA Season one was Crave’s top Canadian series. What does that mean to you? The response was better than anybody anticipated . . . It was weird; I’m so used to being at an airport and people calling out, “Ricky!” Being called “Todd” a few times was pretty cool. People love…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mu-lFJKBws&t=1s Beyond the surface-level thrills of the “murder mystery,” what’s the deeper, human territory explored in this show? Well, take away the mystery and the murders and the world that it’s set in, what you’re left with is a community of people who care about each other, who are there for each other, who…

Ryan Guzman – 9-1-1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyAZ9VYNE2c Eddie really has gone on an intense journey of reckoning with himself and his trauma since we met him in season two. Yeah, there’s an outdated idea of a “man” that I feel was pressed on a lot of men around my age. You know, growing up with the John Waynes, the alpha…
