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…

The Last Word

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,…

Zahn McClarnon – Dark Winds

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4gNOfTyeOA Beyond the twisted case he’s working this year, what is Joe forced to uncover about himself in season three? Well, it’s a continuing exploration of the tragedy that’s happened to him, and the ramifications of his son’s death. Consequences come to Joe for his actions in season two [facilitating the murder of his…

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…

Nicholas Pinnock – Long Bright River

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…

Wendi McLendon-Covey – St. Denis Medical

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1NkZGmN1Eg&t=5s As a comedy vet, what really jumps out about St. Denis Medical . . . about Justin Spitzer and his team’s writing? The thing I love about the writing on the show is that although these characters are flawed, they are good people. Look around at the people you work with in any…

Shemar Moore – S.W.A.T.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q65TGxrwPL4 When we spoke a year ago — for what was supposedly the “final” season — you hinted maybe there was still some life left in the show. Did you know something? I didn’t have any inside information. It just didn’t make sense to me. We were popular on Netflix [in reruns], Charles Barkley…
