In the new series BRILLIANT MINDS, premiering on NBC Monday, September 23, with episodes then available for streaming on Peacock, Zachary Quinto stars as cranky but gifted New York neurosurgeon Oliver Wolf. BRILLIANT MINDS creator/executive producer Michael Grassi explains that the show was originally entitled WOLF but, due to Quinto’s past genre work (HEROES, AMERICAN HORROR STORY, STAR TREK, NOS4A2), prospective viewers thought it might be a show about a werewolf. The name was briefly changed to DR. WOLF, but that just made people think “Werewolf doctor. That’s not us.” Grassi has a lot of genre credits himself, having been […]Read On »

Hallmark Channel’s series THE WAY HOME, now in its second season on Sunday nights, is a bit of a departure for the network.

Chyler Leigh stars as divorced journalist Kat Landry, who moves with her teen daughter Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow) from the big city back to the family farm in Canada, still run by Kat’s widowed mother Del (Andie MacDowell). Where THE WAY HOME differs from other Hallmark fare is that it is also […]Read On »

THE FLASH begins its third season on The CW Tuesday, October 4. Since the Flash, aka Barry Allen (Grant Gustin), just altered the past in the second-season finale to save his mother, there’s no telling what the present will be like.

Martin, originally from Virginia, is famous to Broadway theatergoers for his stint in the original cast of RENT; he reprised his role in the film version. Martin is probably best known to television viewers for playing another police detective, […]Read On »
