“7 Questions” With … Ashley Eckstein of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”

October 14, 2012 StayTuned Staff

Many actors can consider themselves part of the Star Wars universe, but it’s doubtful many enjoy it as much as Ashley Eckstein. The Star Wars: The Clone Wars actress, who is in her fifth season giving voice to Anakin Skywalker’s feisty Padawan Ahsoka Tano, says she’s a lifelong fan of George Lucas’ seminal space saga, and her job on the Cartoon Network series is one she considers a privilege and a great responsibility. She’s parlayed her relationship with Lucasfilm into a clothing company aimed specifically at the underserved female sci fi fan. Her Universe has licenses for Star Wars, Star […]

7 Questions With … Willie Robertson of A&E’s “Duck Dynasty”

October 8, 2012 StayTuned Staff

With America salivating over shows like Swamp Wars, Rocket City Rednecks, Hillbilly Handfishin’ and, lest we forget, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, it’s a good time to be a TV redneck. A&E’s Duck Dynasty is among the most successful in the genre, following the always colorful Robertson clan of Louisiana. Willie, along with his brother Jase, father Phil and uncle Si run the family’s profitable duck-call empire, which not surprisingly has soared to new heights as the show has become popular. With the series beginning an eagerly anticipated Season 2 at 10pm Wednesday, Willie Robertson took some time to answer […]

Susan Lucci talks “Deadly Affairs,” “Devious Maids” and the end of “All My Children”

September 6, 2012 Lori Acken

Susan Lucci has three little words to describe her new Investigation Discovery series Deadly Affairs: “Lust gone loco!” It’s familiar turf for the Emmy-winning actress, who spent more than 4 decades bringing to life the adventures of All My Children’s much-married diva Erica Kane before the beloved daytime drama was unceremoniously yanked by ABC last fall, stunning fans and the series’ devoted cast and crew. So when Investigation Discovery’s president and GM Henry Schleiff came calling with a project that would allow Lucci to keep Erica Kane very much alive in spirit — and on the airwaves — she found the […]

7 Questions With … Betsy Rue of Cinemax’s “Femme Fatales”

August 6, 2012 StayTuned Staff

Betsy Rue gets to keep her clothes on (mostly) for her stint on Femme Fatales. Best known to audiences for her audacious nude scene in the 2009 slasher flick My Bloody Valentine, Rue has also turned up in roles on TV hits like True Blood, NCIS, The Mentalist and (believe it or not) iCarly, where she played a talent-challenged pop star. She’ll play the title character in “Libra,” the Season 2 capper for the Cinemax anthology series — airing Friday at 11pm — starring as a costumed vigilante out to exact high-heeled justice upon the bad guys of Cuesta Verde. […]

7 Questions With … Les Gold of truTV’s “Hardcore Pawn”

July 3, 2012 StayTuned Staff

Les Gold has to be a tough guy a lot in his business, running a pawn shop in rough-and-tumble Detroit. This is the side audiences have seen and grown to love over five seasons of truTV’s Hardcore Pawn, which follows the daily goings-on at American Jewelry & Loan, which Gold owns and operates with his two grown children Ashley and Seth. But there’s also an undeniable warmth to Gold as well, and as he took some time to answer our “7 Questions,” this was the side we got to know. Outside this conversation, he revealed that he’s working on a […]

7 Questions With … Sutton Foster of ABC Family’s “Bunheads”

June 21, 2012 StayTuned Staff

Sutton Foster has all the confidence in the world when she’s belting out show tunes on Broadway — as she did to Tony-winning effect in Thoroughly Modern Millie and Anything Goes — or teaching young girls to dance, as she does in the new ABC Family hit Bunheads, which airs Mondays at 9pm. But when it comes to meeting fellow actor Paul Rudd, the normally composed star confesses to becoming tongue-tied. She reveals that and more interesting tidbits about herself in this edition of “7 Questions.” What has been your strangest fan encounter? I actually had this whole video series that […]

7 Questions With … Christopher Heyerdahl of HBO’s “True Blood”

June 15, 2012 StayTuned Staff

Tall, lanky and foreboding, Christopher Heyerdahl cuts an indomitable presence onscreen. He’s become part of several TV shows and films with devoted followings, including The Twlight Saga, where he plays Marcus, a member of the ruling Volturi; Stargate Atlantis, during which he was covered in makeup to portray Todd the Wraith; Sanctuary, also a heavy makeup gig, as Bigfoot; the demon Alastair on Supernatural; and he’s more down-to-Earth, but no less frightening, as The Swede on AMC’s Hell on Wheels. But even he might be surprised at the level of fandom that comes from being on HBO’s vampire hit True Blood. […]

7 Questions With … Ron Shirley of truTV’s “Lizard Lick Towing”

June 8, 2012 StayTuned Staff

Talking with Ron Shirley is, to borrow one of his phrases (a.k.a. “Ronisms”), more fun than a possum in a persimmon tree. The burly Southerner is back for another season of truTV’s Lizard Lick Towing, which the network bills as an “actuality” series about the goings-on at a repossession business in rural North Carolina. The series returns for a brand new season at 10pm June 11. 1. You’re at a magazine rack and can only pick three titles. Which ones do you choose? MAD Magazine, Field & Stream and People. 2. Aside from Lizard Lick Towing, of course, if your […]

7 Questions With … Phil LaMarr of The Hub’s “Kaijudo: Rise of the Duel Masters”

June 1, 2012 StayTuned Staff

Phil LaMarr sure pops up in a lot of places. John Travolta inadvertently shot him in the face in Pulp Fiction, he brought many memorable characters to life — remember Jack the hyperactive delivery guy? — as a member of the original cast of MADtv, and has been a mainstay in voice acting for many years. June is turning out to be a busy month for LaMarr, as a new season of Futurama, on which he voices Hermes, comes to Comedy Central June 20, and a brand new animated series, Kaijudo: Rise of the Duel Masters. In it, he voices […]

7 Questions With … Beth Stern of HGTV’s “Mom Caves”

May 10, 2012 StayTuned Staff

There’s far more to Beth Stern than being the wife of shock jock and self-proclaimed King of All Media Howard Stern. The model turned her love of dogs into the book Oh My Dog, and is also the host of HGTV’s new renovation series Mom Caves, which premieres May 12 at 7:30pm, just in time for Mother’s Day. RELATED: Howard Stern perfect fit for NBC’s America’s Got Talent What has been your strangest fan encounter? I always find it surprising when people just hand me their dogs to hold them. I’m still a stranger to the animal, and I always […]
