We Take ISSUES with Greg Grunberg and Josh Cooke
During an exclusive interview at Comic-Con, Greg Grunberg and Josh Cooke shared what their new webseries ISSUES is really about and why they think it is riding the wave of the digital era and offers a unique perspective on the tortured psyche of superheroes buckling under the weight of their responsibilities and insecurities.
So what is ISSUES about?
JOSH: It was created by myself and Matt Oates, and the concept of the show is that it’s about a therapist – a psychologist — whose clients are animated superheroes. So it’s a live action, real world with superheroes who have a lot of serious issues. Greg came into because he plays The Dark Kodiak, who is sort of our Batman arch-type character, but in a bear get-up, pretty much.
GREG: In a gay world, I’m a bear. So it fits perfectly!
JOSH: When I asked him, ‘Can you play a bear?’ His response was, ‘Grrrrr!’
GREG: And so the answer was ‘Yes!’ We had done a movie together called ‘Group Sex,’ so I was kind of returning the favor. I was thrilled when he asked, especially when I saw the sketches and since Josh was kind enough to come over to my house to do the pilot. It was easy. When I saw it, I was like, ‘Uh, can I stay on this show?’ [Read more…]
Mehcad Brooks Shares His Insight and Mind-Set on USA Network’s New Series NECESSARY ROUGHNESS
From the casting couch to the therapy couch, Mehcad Brooks analyzes what it takes to succeed both on screen and off screen. Starring as TK, the football quarterback with a hot temper and an unexpected heart of gold, and a soft-spot for his therapist’s family, Mehcad shared in a recent press call what he sees in TK’s soul.
Can you talk about how you became involved with the series NECESSARY ROUGHNESS?
MEHCAD: Yes, I was in Toronto and I got a phone call and a script and (my agent) said, ‘Listen, we’d like you to read this.’ I was really heartbroken after MY GENERATION was cancelled, and I just kind of sworn off television. But when I read the script I was like, ‘Wait a second. Maybe I spoke too soon.’ I was really drawn to the project because Terrence had so many levels to him. And I thought, you TK was really endearing; also flamboyant and boisterous, but at the same time, I thought, ‘I think he’s a really misunderstood kid.’ And that’s something I was wanting because that’s kind of what I consider myself a very child-like person, but not childish. So I understand that. But he hasn’t quite gotten to that level yet. But, I was kind of routing for him. So it really drew me to him. [Read more…]

Chris Gorham Previews Tonight’s Auggie-Centric Episode of COVERT AFFAIRS
On Tuesday, July 19th, fans of COVERT AFFAIRS will finally see how CIA Agent Auggie Anderson lost his vision and became the blind guy who befriended Annie Walker, played by Piper Perabo, and took her under wing. Taking a few minutes to share with press what it was like filming such a momentous episode for his character is one of the stars Christopher Gorham.
Can you tell us how you got the part on COVERT AFFAIRS?
CHRIS: Yes. It was a pretty traditional kind of audition process. I think interesting part of the story is that I, like most people who haven’t spent any real time around blind people, came into the audition with a lot of preconceptions and stereotypes. So I showed up with a big pair of dark sunglasses and was asked by the Casting Director on the way into the room to take them off because we wouldn’t be using them on this show, and then had a mild panic attack because I tried to figure out what I was going to do. But other than that, it was going to be a pretty traditional audition process, going in and testing at the network level. The real work started after I got the role, and really right before we started shooting the pilot. [Read more…]
