In anticipation of tonight’s Jones-centric instalment of WHITE COLLAR, we recently had the opportunity to take part in a conference call with his charming portrayer Sharif Atkins. What follows is what he had to say about tonight’s episode “As You Were,” as well as what’s next for USA’s hottest summer series.
Can you talk first about how you became involved in WHITE COLLAR?
SHARIF: How I became involved? It’s almost 2 and 1/2 years ago now. Three seasons ago I met up with Jeff Eastin and, at that time actually, I was an actor looking for work. He and I had worked together on a project called HAWAII about 4-5 years ago and developed a great professional rapport, and did great work together. So we got together and he said there was a possibility that there was a role that could be brought together and put together for the purposes of the show. So I said, ‘Hey, I’m on board!’ [Read more…]

Which is why we, in lieu of actual content, we have opted to take the easy way out by posting some fantastic exclusive shots of a handful of your favorite small screen stars from this past weekend’s Con. But did our photag extraordinaire Jennifer Schadel capture your favorites? Find out for yourself, after the jump. [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…]

Exclusive Interview: Warren Christie Offers Fun Insight on Syfy’s New Series ALPHAS
Syfy’s new series ALPHAS invites viewers to explore a world where humans have extrasensory and other special abilities. They are not super-human, but rather, super-enhanced humans. Whether it be heightened senses, the ability to read radio waves, enhanced strength or precision marksman skills, these are just abilities we all have – but to a greater degree. Recruited by a quasi-government agency, a small group of gifted individuals use their abilities to assist with crime-fighting. But with great skill comes a price, and because these people are human after all, life is not so easy for them. Viewed as freaks, oddities, or just plain abnormal, their only safe haven is amongst themselves. Social situations and personal relationships can be awkward or even impossible. Yet because they are special, they are also great at solving crimes that may elude normal law enforcement.
During an enthusiastic interview with Warren Christie, one of the stars of the show, one thing became abundantly clear: he is excited about his new show. Describing what drew him to ALPHAS, he was quick to respond, “It was the script and the characters. There’s an amazing element to it all.” He also really admires his character, Cameron Hicks, who is gifted with hyperkinesis, which is the ability to use muscle control so precisely that he has flawless aim and enhanced motor skills. In addition, Warren shared that he also really admired how, “[Cameron] keeps picking himself up and dusting himself off. He’s trying. He’s a recovered alcoholic who’s isolated himself. But he’s opening up. He’s a fighter.” [Read more…]
