Win DEXTER Season One on DVD

By 46 Comments

dexter season two

In anticipation of DEXTER’s upcoming second season premiere — this September 30 at 9PM on Showtime — theTVaddict.com is giving away the first season of DEXTER on DVD. To qualify to win, all you have to do is take a look at the season two cast photos [click the link below] and guess which of Dexter’s friends, family and/or co-workers will fall victim to Dexter’s ‘special brand of justice’ this coming season.

For the record, our guess is Sgt. Doakes. Having seen the first two episodes of the season, we have a feeling he’s getting far too nosey for his own good.

Can’t wait until September 28 to find out if you’ve won? Why not check out DEXTER on iTunes. At $1.99 per episode, it’s a killer deal [pun indented].

TheTVaddict.com Interview: Clark Duke

clark duke

By: Amrie Cunningham [My Take on TV]

I wanted to share with you all what happens when I get to spend 20 minutes on the phone with one of my favorite people in the world, Clark Duke. One of the best phone conversations ever, there were moments I was afraid I’d have to stop the tape because I was laughing so hard. There was a ridiculous amount of topics covered, including what costar he’d be happy to kiss right on the mouth, but there’s not much in the way of spoilers for the season finale of Greek airing Monday September 10 (and featuring Cordelia herself, Charisma Carpenter!!)…he doesn’t want to give too much away….about the show anyway….

A: How are you today [right about now is where I start laughing]?
C: I’m good, well, I kind of have a cold, but other than that, I’m really good.
A: What about Dale made you want to be Dale?
C: I thought it would be fun to play something really charactery. Something far removed from me. Especially after Clark and Michael, and playing myself, or not myself, but an exaggerated version of myself.
A: I should hope that the Clark in the show is not the Clark in real life because he’s kind of a jerk ha.
C: No that’s the real me. I’m just a full blown moron.
A: What’s it like on the set of Greek? Is it really nice?
C: It’s really great. Everybody gets along. There’s a lot of food. It’s always air conditioned. What else? It’s really great.

First Look: Scott Patterson in ALIENS IN AMERICA

By 6 Comments

scott patterson aliens in america

Attention GILMORE GIRLS fans, we’ve got some great news for you! That happy ending you always dreamed of — you know the one where Scott Patterson is happily married with a loving family — well it came true. The catch, Luke isn’t married to Lorelai and we’re definitely not in Stars Hollow anymore [although that green collared shirt still screams ‘Luke’ if you ask us, assuming it wasn’t tucked in!]

That said, Patterson is still on the CW and ALIENS IN AMERICA is perhaps the funniest and most original comedy the CW’s ever produced. Click the link below for more great pics and be sure to tune into ALIENS premiere this October 1 on the CW.

My Take on TV: Tate Donovan Talks DAMAGES

By 4 Comments

tate donovan damanges

It’s been a great summer of interviews! And last week I was lucky enough to take part in a conference call with Tate Donovan — one of the stars of DAMAGES, FX’s latest addictive drama. Here is how the call went down.

Has starring in a high-profile series with the super popular Glenn Close rubbed off on you? Has it affected your life and/or career in unexpected ways?
Tate Donovan: Working with Glenn Close is a fantastic experience. But you have to bring your ‘A’ game when you work with her. She’s really prepared. It’s actually really a joy because she asks the director and the producers the best questions. Every time, she’s sort of like, “Well, hold on a second. Why is this?” She was asking about the plot, because it’s very confusing to everybody, exactly what’s going on in the case, since we’re not really lawyers. She’s very inspiring in terms of just the questions she asks, and you’re always going, “Geez, I wish I had asked that question,” like “Why does Frobisher do da, da, da, da, da?” Yes, she’s wonderful, a total inspiration.

The writing and the characters are so nuanced in Damages. There is no clear-cut bad or good, just all sorts of shades of gray and in between. Your character, Tom, is for the most part, an on-the-level guy, but are you hopeful that the character will veer into the dark side more or stay more above the fray and above all the machinations that Patty has up her sleeve?
What’s kind of exciting about Tom is that he, like all of us, are just trying to do the best we can. I think he lacks that killer instinct that Patty has in spades. She’s a genius. She knows exactly how to go in for the kill. Tom, I think is more interested in being liked. Patty doesn’t care, she just wants to win. It’s funny; a lot of people are like, “You are the worst kind of evil, because he’s a nice guy and he’s evil.” I don’t particularly see him as evil. I see him as just a guy who is trying to survive in a pretty cut-throat environment.

Tom is kind of Patty’s right hand man. And we saw him basically stay with her, even though she wouldn’t fight for him. I was just wondering, is the character simply happier in her shadow or does he kind of see them as making an unbeatable team when they’re together?
When we shot the pilot, I said, “Tom is sort of like Patty’s wife.” The producers were like, “Yes, you’re absolutely right, totally.” That’s kind of how I play it. There’s a certain power in being behind the person who has the power. D you know what I mean, the obvious power? I think Tom sort of shines more brightly when he’s not in that first chair.

10 Questions with KYLE XY’s Matt Dallas

By 5 Comments

kyle xy matt dallas interview

With ABC FAMILY airing the KYLE XY summer season finale tonight at 8PM — we at theTVaddict.com thought it would be a cool idea to check in with Kyle himself Matt Dallas. Enjoy our ten questions with Matt Dallas and serious thanks to all the fans for their input and great questions.

With KYLE XY reaching the halfway point of its season tonight, what can fans expect when the show returns in January?
Matt DallasThis half, Kyle really learned about his abilities and what he’s capable of. The second half of the season will really raise the bar in terms of stories, relationships and mystery.

Will Kyle be developing any new abilities next season?
The interesting thing about Kyle is that he’s always growing and developing. In the season’s second half, his abilities will grow more powerful. But more importantly, he’ll also discover a lot more about what Jessi’s capable of. We’ve seen Kyle do these amazing things, but you have to remember — Jessi was in ‘the pod’ longer. There’s a possibility she’s far more powerful!

Speaking of Jessi, there seems to be a love triangle developing between Kyle, Jessi and Amanda.
There’s definitely competition between Jessi and Amanda, but Kyle is such a pure character — and his attraction is really towards Amanda. Amanda is such a beautiful soul so it’s kind of hard for someone like Jessi to come in and mess with that.

Two beautiful girls fighting over you, tough job but somebody’s got to do it right?
[Laughs] I know! Both girls are so cool and have great chemistry with Kyle. It’s really fun to play scenes together. And Jaimie Alexander [the actress who plays Jessi] has been such a fantastic addition to the cast this season. She really was that missing puzzle piece that fit perfectly.

The highlight of KYLE XY for this TV Addict is the relationships between the characters. What are some of your favorite Kyle relationship?
I love playing scenes with every member of the Trager family. But Kyle’s relationship with Nicole is one of my favorites because it’s so different and unique. She’s trying to play a paternal role while he really wants to be a normal kid. Yet at the same time, they know it can’t be that way.

Kyle’s relationship with Tom Foss is so cool, because he’s mentoring Kyle. They have a strong relationship, and I think Foss cares for Kyle in a way he’ll never admit.

But Kyle aside, I love watching Josh and Andy scenes because they have such great chemistry together.
