Yvonne Strahovski is no stranger to playing characters involved in spycraft – witness her five years as the redoubtable Sarah Walker on CHUCK. While her seductive serial killer Hannah McKay on the final two years of DEXTER wasn’t employed by a government agency, she certainly did her share of stealthy acts, too. Now Australian actress Strahovski – who can currently be seen on the big screen in I, FRANKENSTEIN – is headed to London to play a CIA agent stalking Kiefer Sutherland’s Jack Bauer in Fox’s 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY. The twelve-hour miniseries is scheduled for this summer. Strahovski is […]Read On »

In TRUE DETECTIVE, HBO Sundays at 9 PM, Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey play two very different Louisiana police detectives who worked a seemingly occult serial killer case back in 1995 that seems to be resonating in the present. The closed-ended eight-episode series, created by Nick Pizzolatto, moves back and forth across decades and continually surprises the audience. Michelle Monaghan plays Maggie Hart, the increasingly fed-up wife of Harrelson’s Martin Hart who becomes intrigued by McConaughey’s haunted Rust Cohle. The Iowa-born actress primarily works in feature films, with credits including KISS KISS BANG BANG, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III (as the new […]Read On »

SHERLOCK is back for its third season on PBS, Sundays at 10 PM, and not a moment too soon. The series, created by Mark Gatiss & Steven Moffat from Arthur Conan Doyle’s detail-oriented British detective character, has been much missed by its fans during the long gap since the end of Season 2, which saw Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock apparently falling to his death from a rooftop, much to the grief of his friend and detecting partner Dr. John Watson (Martin Freeman). Now Sherlock is back – with an explanation of how and why he disappeared for two years and fooled […]Read On »
