Over the past couple years as I have reached out to a vast range of diverse actors and actively supported their careers, there have been noteworthy moments that are forever cemented within my heart and mind. The first time an actor responded to me. The first time an actor commented on one of my reviews. Even the first time an actor left […]

With the myriad of choices in the world of TV and film, it’s all too easy to permit priceless gems to pass us by due to time constraints, lack of interest, and even sheer laziness (at times, that is true in my life). Thankfully, we have people who champion the causes of very special shows that may go undetected by the general […]

When I moved back to Washington State, it was news to me that the Twilight saga that “everyone” was reading took place in the town of Forks, and the running joke was that was why I was moving back to the Pacific Northwest. I have made it a point to shun the vampire genre, but thankfully, I had already agreed to watch Van […]

Anyone who knows me is aware of the fact that I have an enchantment with strong women. I’m not sure why exactly, but maybe my background and the fact that I used to outwardly acquiesce so easily is part of the reason why I am fiercely supportive of women who follow their passions no matter the obstacles in their way. Add that […]

In the course of interviewing a wide variety of actors, I am consistently gratified when I “discover” a driven actress who can practically do it all. And in the case of Lucie Guest, I have stumbled upon a filmmaker who is so much more than “just an actress.” While I believe that every person in the business should never be labelled as “I’m just a…,” […]

Being somewhat of a Hallmark “SuperFan,” I do tend to lend my categorical support in an immense way to their projects, and it just so happens that Chesapeake Shores, which is incidentally Hallmark’s currently most popular series, is a project about which I have no problem promoting. In fact, it is a joy and an honor to have the opportunity to advocate […]

Being the Hallmark aficionado that I am, I am definitely a fan of the weekday show Home & Family. Even though I don’t consistently have the opportunity to watch all the segments every single day, there are some names embedded in my memory and various segments that are genuinely unforgettable. And “Renegade Kitchen” is decidedly one of those. Then again, I am the cook in my […]

Every time I interview a young person in the entertainment business, I customarily have a sense of awe and excitement. Most of these young performers have accomplished so much in their relatively short life span, and the vast majority of them (unlike the gossip columns would prefer you to believe) are “good kids.” In the case of Peter DaCunha, it was truly a joy […]

It never ceases to amaze me the caliber of artistry within today’s bustling acting community. All too often, those who work behind the scenes or appear as guest stars on various shows are seen, liked, and subsequently forgotten. As a part of my ongoing mission to highlight talent that may not always be at the forefront of every well-known production, I happened […]

Once in awhile, I stumble across an unusually refreshing actor with whom I was not familiar heretofore, but I know instantly that there is something exceptional about him or her. In the case of Tracey Birdsall, indeed nothing could be truer than that. Tracey took a few minutes from her hectic schedule recently to chat with me about her career with a dominant emphasis […]
