Adam Carolla – Road Hard and Put Away Wet

Adam Carolla stars in “Road Hard.” Adam Carolla Road Hard and Put Away Wet by Jay S. Jacobs They always say to write what you know, and Adam Carolla knows life on the road. Therefore Road Hard, which Carolla not only stars in but co-wrote and co-directed with his long-time collaborator Kevin Hench, tells the story of a stand-up comedian who has a lot of similarities to his creator. Bruce Madsen is a craftsman-turned-caustic comic who is still remembered for a popular sketch

Stephen McHattie Stephen McHattie Dances With Wolves by Jay S. Jacobs Who says every actor craves stardom? Stephen McHattie has been a busy working actor for over 40 years now, but he loves the fact that his character roles tend to give him a certain amount of anonymity. Despite the fact that he has appeared in roles in iconic projects like Star Trek, The X-Files, 300, Seinfeld, Watchmen, Kojak, Miami Vice, The Twilight Zone, Beverly Hills Cop III and all of the Jesse Stone

Fred Stoller – Sitcom Staple

Fred Stoller Fred Stoller Sitcom Staple by Ronald Sklar The in-demand character actor describes the unique dilemma of typecast success. Fred Stoller goes though life watching people slowly recognize him. Point at him, snap your fingers, scratch your head, search your memory. You don’t know his name, but you’ve seen him on TV, most notably in a classic Seinfeld episode in which his character does not remember meeting Elaine, causing Elaine to become obsessed with him. Is the l

Cary Elwes – Standing Up For The Citizen

Cary Elwes stars in “The Citizen.” Cary Elwes Standing Up For The Citizen by Jay S. Jacobs With a career that has spanned 30 years and over 70 films, Cary Elwes has become a familiar presence on our screens. However, despite having worked on so many films and having starred in at least two drop dead classic films – the fantasy The Princess Bride and the horror film Saw – Elwes is more than happy to pay it forward and work with unknown talent. As long as the role intrigues him

Mimi Rogers – Once More Around The Loop

Mimi Rogers in “The Loop” Mimi Rogers Once More Around The Loop by Jay S. Jacobs Mimi Rogers is nearly impossible to pigeonhole. She is a beautiful actress who has never relied on her beauty, but instead on a fierce intelligence and talent. She can play devastatingly dramatic roles in films like her recent acclaimed turn in The Door in the Floor as well spooky and unsettling parts like her recurring character on The X-Files. She has also tried her hand at more cartoonish p

Mad About You – The Complete First Season (A PopEntertainment.com TV on DVD Review)

Mad About You: The Complete First Season Mad About You The Complete First Season (Columbia Tri-Star-2002) The best way to describe Mad About You comes not from the show itself but from a better one: Seinfeld. In it, a newly engaged George Constanza (Jason Alexander) finds himself, so obviously against his will, watching an episode of Mad About You with his fiancée. The look on George’s face is indescribable, but at best it can be depicted as a what-have-I-just-done epiphany o

Sometimes the honor has helped a show find its footing (The Practice, The Gilmore Girls, Seventh Heaven). Other times it has helped a terr

Tom Verica – American Dad

Tom Verica stars in “American Dreams.” Tom Verica American Dad by Ronald Sklar Tom Verica stars as family patriarch Jack Pryor on the NBC sleeper hit American Dreams. The role calls for the strong silent type: a challenge which is not always as appreciated as it should be in a medium that often displays the dad as the house fool. Here, Verica plays the solid rock. He typifies the very greatest of the Greatest Generation, but now trying his darnedest to provide gravity to a v

Peter Krause- Helping to Make TV Safe for Smart People

Peter Krause in “Sports Night” Peter Krause Helping to Make TV Safe for Smart People by Jay S. Jacobs The fall of 1998 was a tough time for television comedy. The networks tried to come up with a plan for post-Seinfeld TV, but the best they seemed to be able to come up with were tired retreads like Jesse, Two of a Kind and Maggie Winters. But shining like a diamond in the empty mine of a new comedy schedule was one true pedigree. Sports Night was a smart and funny look behind

Alan Rafkin Alan Rafkin The King of Nick at Nite by Ronald Sklar “I’m still working,” sixty-eight-year-old Alan Rafkin says. “They’ll have to carry me out in a body bag.” If you had his job, they would drag you out kicking and screaming too. Alan Rafkin is a TV sitcom director. And not just another forgotten name you don’t pay attention to during the opening credits. Rafkin is king. In fact, he has justifiably nicknamed himself The King of Nick at Nite. That’s because he has
