Emily VanCamp Celebrates Four-Season Run On ‘The Resident’ As She Exits Series: “It’s Such A Bittersweet Moment For Me”
SPOILER ALERT: The story includes details about the Oct. 5 episode of The Resident. EXCLUSIVE: It was a bittersweet goodbye for Emily VanCamp on Tuesday night’s episode of Fox ’s The Resident , as her character Nic Nevin succumbed to her injuries from an automobile accident. But VanCamp says she made the right decision for her and her growing family, which now includes a daughter, Iris. Yes, there was some overlap between VanCamp’s pregnancy and that of Nic, which helped the actress keep her special little secret quiet until she announced the birth in September—in her own time. “It was very interesting, mostly because I’m very private about my family life,” she tells Deadline exclusively about being pregnant on the show and in real life. “It allowed us to keep the pregnancy quiet and to have something that’s just ours for a little while. That was beautiful in and of itself—to finally have a little privacy. The timing wasn’t exactly the same, so I was wearing a … [Read more...] about Emily VanCamp Celebrates Four-Season Run On ‘The Resident’ As She Exits Series: “It’s Such A Bittersweet Moment For Me”
‘Better Call Saul’ Recap: Kim Reverts to a Life of Crime
A review of this week’s Better Call Saul , “Axe and Grind,” just as soon as we sidebar in the law library… “Relax. You got away with it.” —Kim’s mom What happens to Kim? This is a question I asked regarding the last Saul episode to feature young Kim (still played by Katie Beth Hall, with her hair pulled partially back, but not yet in the full power- ponytail of adult Kim) and Kim’s mom (Beth Hoyt, who still looks and sounds uncannily like Rhea Seehorn). That episode, “Wexler V. Goodman,” opened with young Kim walking away from her drunken mother rather than getting into a car with her. It closed with Kim explaining in great detail why she had every good reason to break up with Jimmy, only for her to declare at the last moment that perhaps they should get married instead. It was Kim’s weakness for hustlers and damaged people winning out over her understanding of what is good, both for her and the world at large. “Axe and Grind” begins a bit differently, though it … [Read more...] about ‘Better Call Saul’ Recap: Kim Reverts to a Life of Crime
‘Twisted Metal’: Stephanie Beatriz Joins Cast Of Peacock’s Live-Action Video Game Adaptation
Stephanie Beatriz ( Encanto , Brooklyn Nine-Nine ) will star in Peacock ’s Twisted Metal , the live-action video game adaptation starring Anthony Mackie . Beatriz will play the character of Quiet, a ferocious, badass car thief who acts purely on instinct – you couldn’t stop her any more than a manhole could stop a volcano. Coming from a community that oppressed her into silence, Quiet’s wish is to find her place in this dark, chaotic world. But when she becomes clouded by her need for revenge, Quiet forms an unlikely, antagonistic bond with John Doe (Mackie). From Cobra Kai writer Michael Jonathan Smith, Twisted Metal is a half-hour, high-octane action comedy, based on an original take by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick about a motor-mouthed outsider offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With the help of a trigger-happy car thief, he’ll face savage marauders driving … [Read more...] about ‘Twisted Metal’: Stephanie Beatriz Joins Cast Of Peacock’s Live-Action Video Game Adaptation
The Kids in the Hall Are Back — Older, Slightly Less Angry and Still Incredibly F–king Funny
It starts with one of them casually saying, “Write what you know” — it may be Mark McKinney, slightly leaning back in his chair and staring at the ceiling, or it might be Bruce McCulloch, who’s wandering around the conference room, checking his phone as it charges and idly munching on a pastry. Whoever said it first, it’s definitely Kevin McDonald who quickly jumps in and, as if on cue, immediately chants, “Write what you know!” He says it again, at which point Dave Foley joins in as well. “Write what you know!” “Write what you know!” McKinney and McCulloch, both grinning, start singing along as well: “Write what you know! Write what you know! Write what you know!” Scott Thompson is too busy laughing to harmonize at first, until he finally composes himself, clears his throat, and then beautifully bellows out, in the most operatic tenor imaginable: “Wriiiiite! Whaaat! Yoooouuuu! Knoooooowwwwwwww !!!” Minutes before, the legendary sketch-comedy quintet the Kids in the Hall had … [Read more...] about The Kids in the Hall Are Back — Older, Slightly Less Angry and Still Incredibly F–king Funny
