On the Fly with… DOLLHOUSE Star Dichen Lachman
ON HER AUSSIE ROOTS: After breaking onto the scene in NEIGHBOURS, Australia’s longest running soap, Dichen followed in the footsteps of fellow NEIGHBOURS alum Jesse Spencer, Russell Crowe, Kylie Minogue and Guy Pearce by hightailing it to America after landing the role of Sierra in Joss Whedon’s DOLLHOUSE. “NEIGHBOURS has a huge, huge audience, but as far as the production values or quality of writing… no where near DOLLHOUSE.”

What Is Wrong with this Picture?

You Be the Critic: COMMUNITY, PARKS AND RECREATION, THE OFFICE, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, SUPERNATURAL, BONES, FRINGE, FLASHFORWARD, GREY’S ANATOMY & PRIVATE PRACTICE
With the notable exception of last night’s very-well-done, albeit slightly too long episode of THE OFFICE (Made all the shorter by me having to fast forward through Michael Scott’s too-painful-to-watch toast scene), I’m embarrassed to report that I’ve once again sullied my self-proclaimed title of TV Addict by missing out on all of our favorite Thursday night shows. Which is why I find myself standing before to say (a) For the sake of my sanity an dmy PVR I’m once again passing the buck to you all — my far smarter and better looking readers — to post away with your thoughts on last night’s installments of COMMUNITY, PARKS AND RECREATION, THE OFFICE, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, SUPERNATURAL, BONES, FRINGE, FLASHFORWARD, GREY’S ANATOMY & PRIVATE PRACTICE.

John Cho Reveals Absolutely Nothing About His Character’s FLASHFORWARD!
Actor John Cho is a man of few words. Particularly when it comes to talking about what his FLASHFORWARD character Demetri Noh may-or-may-not have seen during a two-minute, 17-second global blackout.
Oh, sure he has theories, “Very strong ones,” promises the actor. He’s just not about to share them with certain inquisitive members of the media. Something that frankly, we’re okay with. After-all, half the fun of the new hit ABC series is guessing what showrunners David Goyer (THE DARK KNIGHT) and Brannon Braga (24) have up their sleeve next. Which, coincidentally enough is exactly what attracted Cho to a gruelling regular series gig fresh off his most high-profile role to date as Lt. Hikaru Sulu in J.J. Abrams successful STAR TREK re-boot.
“I read the pilot and really was hooked by page five, FLASHFORWARD was such a special piece of writing,” explained Cho. “David Goyer was a person I had wanted to work with for a long time, and after meeting with producers David and Brannon, I just felt very secure in the hands of these storytellers.”
Far less secure, is his characters future.
