In AT&T Audience Network’s Wednesday-night drama MR MERCEDES, based on Stephen King’s novel, no one has yet figured out that Brady Hartsfield (Harry Treadaway) is actually a mass murderer. Certainly Breeda Wool’s character, Lou Linklatter, has no clue about her coworker at the suburban Supreme Electronix store.

Wool was a regular on UNREAL as Faith Duluth, and got her own ten-episode spin-off, THE FAITH DIARIES. This season, the actress has also had guest […]Read On »

STAR TREK: DISCOVERY is the latest version of the venerable STAR TREK franchise. The ten-episode first season premieres on CBS on Sunday, September 24, and then moves to the streaming CBS All-Access service. By now, there are a number of different timelines in the TREK verse.
