Nick Nolte and Sela Ward Headline New EPIX Dramedy Series Graves
With just a few weeks to go until the presidential election, everyone’s eyes and interest are turned toward politics, so this makes a perfect time for EPIX to debut its new dramedy series Graves.

Richard Armitage Calls His New EPIX Series Berlin Station a “Post-Technology Drama”
“I think Richard Burton in [The Spy Who Came in From the Cold] was one of the benchmark performances for me,” Berlin Station star Richard Armitage says as we sit and chat at the Beverly Hilton during a recent television critics press tour.

Celebri-TV Kids: Interview with Albert Tsai of ABC’sDr. Ken
In my line of work, I interview a lot of celebrities. And I’m always impressed with the child stars that I meet. These young actors are not only talented in their craft, but they’re exceptionally bright, are part of supportive families, and they’re confident and well-spoken. So I set out to interview a few of Fall’s TV’s brightest kids to find out how they got where they are, and to share their industry advice with other kids who dream of television stardom. I had a great chat with 12-year-old actor Albert Tsai of ABC’s Dr. Ken. On the Friday night comedy, […]
