Carrie Preston has now been living with the character of Elsbeth Tascioni for almost 15 years. After making her debut near the end of The Good Wife’s first season, she returned for guest appearances in all but one of the show’s seven seasons, then came back for five episodes of spinoff The Good Fight before getting a show of her own. For the uninitiated, let’s just say that Tascioni is a uniquely quirky character, from her mannerisms to her speech patterns to her wardrobe. Though unusual, her fashion choices undeniably suit Preston. She even spoke about whether the character’s look has influenced her real-life style.

LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT – Pictured: Mariska Hargitay as Capt. Olivia Benson — (Photo by: Peter Kramer/NBC) Now that we’re already a quarter of the way through the 21st century, it’s pretty amazing to consider that Law & Order: SVU has been on the air continuously since the 20th century. (It’s the only drama with that distinction; on the comedy side, only The Simpsons can make the same claim.) With that kind of longevity, SVU has rightfully earned legendary status. And, as the only cast member who’s been on board since Day One, Mariska Hargitay has seen the show and its audience evolve over the years. Over the show’s 26-season run, she’s spoken about how the show’s fans have come to view it as much more than just entertainment.

ZERO DAY. (L to R) Robert De Niro as George Mullen and Lizzy Caplan as Alexandra Mullen in Episode 101 of Zero Day. Cr. Courtesy of Netflix © 2024 For most actors, the chance to work with a true legend doesn’t come around often. Even those with established careers might never share a set with iconic performers. For Lizzy Caplan , however, that rare opportunity became a reality. Caplan stars in Zero Day , a gripping political thriller, where she plays the daughter of the legendary Robert De Niro , a two-time Academy Award winner. The chance to collaborate with such a revered figure was a big draw for Caplan , and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Far from the old adage that warns, “Never meet your heroes. They’ll surely disappoint,” Caplan found the opposite to be true. Her time working with De Niro left her with cherished memories she’ll hold onto forever.

Now, their patience has been rewarded with the new series, Daredevil: Born Again . But, according to the two actors, it wouldn’t exactly be fair to call it patience that’s been rewarded. After all, in order to get where they are now, each of them had been asked by Marvel President Kevin Feig to bring their characters into some of the other Marvel Cinematic Universe properties. After that they said their dream of resurrecting Daredevil came to fruition.

Harrison Ford Tries To Figure Out What Makes Taylor Sheridan Tick

Harrison Ford as Jacob in season 2, episode 1 of 1923 streaming on Paramount+. Photo credit: Trae Patton/Paramount+. At this point, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to refer to writer/producer Taylor Sheridan as cable and streaming TV’s answer to Dick Wolf . With Yellowstone , 1883 , and 1923 , Sheridan has built up a Western-themed franchise on par with Wolf’s Chicago franchise. Part of the reason for the franchise’s success has been the way it’s attracted top-tier talent to the small screen, like Kevin Costner , Helen Mirren , and Harrison Ford . As one of the stars of 1923 , Ford says he wishes he could figure out Sheridan’s secret formula for making those shows work.

Jennie Snyder Urman’s version of the show Matlock is neither a remake nor a true reboot — it brings back none of the characters from the original show, and the character played by star Kathy Bates only chooses to go by the name of Matlock as a tribute to the original series. But both Urman and Bates are fans of the original show and its star, Andy Griffith , and Bates thinks Urman has done a fantastic job of capturing the spirit of Matlock in its new iteration.

PARADISE – “You Asked for Miracles” – Xavier and Robinson set their plans in motion while Sinatra works to preserve the status quo in Paradise. (Disney/Brian Roedel) STERLING K. BROWN Writer/producer Dan Fogelman knows how to throw a good twist into a television series — everybody who remembers the big, internet-scorching reveal at the end of the pilot episode for This Is Us can attest to that. Now, he’s bringing his gift of creative misdirection to his new show, Paradise , a thriller with all kinds of unexpected turns and a wide variety of possible suspects in the show’s first major mystery. Speaking at a press conference, Fogelman said it’s a challenge to keep all of the storylines from collapsing into each other, but his experience with This Is Us helped him learn how to make complicated plots much more manageable.
