However, all we’ve known until now about their paternal grandfather, John Winchester’s dad Henry (Gil McKinney), is that he ran out when John was still a child. Or so they thought.

On the North American version of BEING HUMAN, now in its third season Monday nights at 9 PM on Syfy (the British version it is based on, more and more loosely, was created by Toby Whithouse), three roommates live together in a Boston brownstone. Aidan, played by Sam Witwer, is a vampire. Josh, played by Sam Huntington, has been a werewolf (more about that in the upcoming interview with Huntington).

BONES, Fox Mondays at 8 PM, now in its eighth season, is as much or more about its characters as it is about the crimes solved by forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and her life/work partner FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz). However, there have been few characters on the show as consistently surprising as lab assistant Arastoo Viziri, played by Pej Vahdat. Arastoo is Iranian and speaks with an Iranian accent – until in one episode he lets it lapse and his fellow scientists learn he actually has an American accent and was just playing along because of […]Read On »

David Duchovny is now in his sixth season of playing troubled, womanizing writer Hank Moody on Showtime’s dark comedy CALIFORNICATION, which runs Sundays at 10:30 PM.
