The TV Chick

Melissa & Joey is a new sitcom on ABC Family about a “manny” (Joey Lawrence) who works for a local politician Mel Burke (Melissa Joan Hart) who took in her niece and nephew. I actually have really been enjoying it so far, and most of all I love seeing stars from my favorite 90s sitcoms back on television. Melissa Joan Hart is charming and believable as the aunt character and Joey Lawrence has come a long way since his “whoa!” days. Although if he wanted to throw one in for good measure, I wouldn’t object. I recently had the chance to participate in a call with Melissa Joan Hart. She talked about her new role, what made her want to come back to a series and what she’s learned from Clarissa to Sabrina to Mel.

White Collar continues to be amazing in its sophomore season. The Neal/Peter relationship is developing and twisting in new ways every week, and I love it. I also adore Marsha Thomason and Willie Garson, so I’m very happy to see them both take on bigger roles. Two weeks ago, we were introduced to Sara Ellis, an insurance broker who goes head to head with Neal. I recently had the chance to visit the set of White Collar, where Hilarie Burton (who plays Sara Ellis) talked to us about her new role, life after One Tree Hill and working with Matt Bomer, who she quite aptly dubbed one of the seven wonders of the world.

True Blood is well into its third season, and it has been fantastic so far. It’s probably the craziest and wildest season yet, and I am enjoying every minute of it. One thing creator Alan Ball doesn’t shy away from is the introduction of new characters. This season we’ve seen new (and sexy) werewolves (ahem Alcide), a new Merlotte’s waitress, and a wolf pack who are into drugs and vampire blood. Crystal Norris (one of those new characters) is a love interest for Jason, but there’s still an air of mystery surrounding her. She comes from the Norris family, who are involved with drugs and she appears to have a fiancee. But what is the real deal with Jason’s new crush? I recently had the chance to chat with Lindsay Pulsipher, who plays Crystal, about the mysterious role, what’s coming up for Crystal and what draws her character (besides the obvious) to Jason Stackhouse.

What originally drew you to the role of Crystal Norris?
I haven’t read the books, but after I got to know her through the writers of True Blood — through their eyes — I was just fascinated with her mystery. She was written with a lot of mystery, and she has several layers going on. And as we’ll soon see later in the season, she’s got a lot of things that she’s trying to cope with and deal with in her life, and I just loved the aspect of being able to play such a complicated, mysterious character. It was really exciting for me.

Definitely. Crystal also has a very interesting background. Can you tell us a little bit more about her family and where she came from?
Little things are revealed throughout the season — more and more about her past and her history — but she’s from this family that cooks meth and they’re meth heads basically (laughs). She’s never really left this compound. It’s all she’s ever really known. She doesn’t really have a social life outside of the compound, so the world outside of that is just so big and intimidating to her I think.

For those who have read the books, or picked up on hints in the show, know that Crystal has some supernatural or non-human elements to her. How are you able to relate to a character that might not be entirely human?
There’s some instincts that Crystal might have that might be a bit foreign to normal folk. (laughs) In the books, she definitely has some supernatural powers. And I think that she has the instincts which myself as a normal person might not have and it was really fun to explore — I’m getting into dangerous territory (laughs).

Don’t worry, I know you can’t spoil too much! What has it been like working so closely with Ryan Kwanten? I’ve heard he’s a bit of a prankster, so are those scenes filmed seriously or is there a lot of joking around?
Oh my God, Ryan is absolutely a practical joker, and very spontaneous in his acting. So we could be doing the most serious, heartfelt scene, and he could pull some little trick or some little Jason-ism out of his hat, and completely throw me off (laughs), which I completely appreciate as an actor — to keep it fresh and funny and spontaneous. And he definitely does that. He’s a great actor, and he really knows his character well, so that is really refreshing to act opposite somebody that is so in tune with his inner Jason. (laughs) It was so much fun.

That’s good to hear. And what do you think draws Crystal to Jason?
I think that it’s his — obviously, he’s a very charismatic person, and when he approaches her truck and she seems him without a shirt (laughs) [like] “Who is this? And what is this guy doing?” so there’s that element of charm, and he’s very funny. But I think on a deeper level, she’s been locked up on the compound, and I think that she might see a little bit of an escape for her, and a way for her to maybe put her past life behind her, and she kind of looks at him and thinks “Could he be the one to help me do this?”

Right. And on the alternate side, why do you think Jason is so drawn to Crystal? She’s different from any other girl he’s been with before.
It’s a hard question for me to answer. I’ve been asked that before. It’s hard for me to answer for Ryan, but I think she’s kind of mysterious and maybe he’s picking up on some things that Crystal has going on in her life that other girls in the past haven’t really had. And I think that there’s that air of mystery that he’s intrigued by.

When I originally heard about the plot of Huge, I wasn’t sure about the show’s longevity because it focused around camp. It has been done before (Salute Your Shorts was awesome!) so I hoped for the best because I love ABC Family. What I didn’t know was that the show was about a lot more than a group of teenagers going to weight loss camp. It’s about friendship, love, discovering yourself and your body and a whole lot more. After the pilot episode, the show has really found its footing. One of my favorite actresses from the beginning was Hayley Hasselhoff. She may bare a very famous name but her talent is unquestionable. Her character Amber is one of the most interesting on Huge, often shy and soft spoken but somehow the most powerful of the girls at camp. I recently had the chance to chat with Hayley about being on a groundbreaking show, Amber’s relationships at camp (romantic and not so romantic) and what we might not know about Amber quite yet.

What originally drew you to the role of Amber?
My agent brought me the audition piece and at first, all I knew was that the character Amber was the skinniest girl at a weight loss camp. After reading the brilliant pilot, I fell in love with the concept of “Huge” and Amber’s character. I loved how honest Amber was with herself and how she knew exactly what she wanted to achieve at camp. I loved how I could relate to her character in overcoming insecurities and hoped she would too during the season.

Amber is a character with many layers — is there a lot to her that we don’t even know yet?
Amber shows her true colors as the episodes go on. You are always finding out something new about her. In the beginning, I think she showed her true self but then got worried about what others were thinking about her. But as time passes she gets more comfortable and realizes she should be herself because others will appreciate her for who she really is.

Are you anything like Amber?
I definitely relate to Amber’s loyalty to her family and friends. I went through some of the same insecurities as Amber when I was younger but definitely overcame them, which is beautiful to realize that I could think such negative things then, and be as confident as I am now.

Did you read the book that the show is based on?
I actually have not read the book “HUGE” by Sasha Paley because I don’t want it to affect my perception of Amber and the direction of the show. I bet it’s an absolutely wonderful book but we have such an amazing group of writers led by Winnie Holtzman and Savannah Dooley that I didn’t want to get their vision mixed up with the book.

The first part of the freshman season of Pretty Little Liars is wrapping up. There are only two more episodes before it goes on hiatus for a bit, and I know I am going to miss it. The show has not disappointed from its strong pilot, meeting my very high expectations from being a fan of the book series. The show centers around four girls in the small town of Rosewood, whose best friend disappeared and they are quickly caught in a web of lies trying to figure out who killed her. The moment I saw Ashley Benson on screen, I knew she personified Hanna. (I had the same feeling with Lucy Hale, but I digress). Her quick wit and understated style of expressions and acting perfectly epitomize the quirky, popular, wickedly sarcastic Hanna Marin. I recently had the chance to chat with Ashley, about her character, knowing what it’s like to be on the popular and not-so-popular sides of high school and the new found friendship (or possible relationship) with Lucas.

I love most everything vampire related. The Vampire Diaries and True Blood are two of my all time favorite shows. So when I heard about The Gates, I was definitely going to give it a shot. The Gates centers around life in a gated community, and all the crazy secrets that lie beneath. The series starts with a new chief of police moving into town (after the old one conveniently disappeared), a vampire family just trying to survive under the radar, and the spa owner who clearly has some sort of unknown agenda and how all of their lives intertwine. I have really been enjoying this season so far. It’s a very dark show (I suppose all vampire shows are dark — ha, get it?!) where vampires (and supernatural creatures) are hiding as opposed to assimilating, which is sort of atypical for this genre. I recently had the chance to chat with Chandra West, who plays Devon, the spa owner. We chatted about her characters mysterious, perhaps slightly evil ways, the most challenging part to her role and what sets The Gates apart from a field that is inundated with vampires.

Tell us a little bit more about your character, Devon. She’s very mysterious.
She is. She is mysterious. She’s an interesting character to be because she runs the day spa in town which represents everything healthy and serene and beautiful, meanwhile her seemingly holistic approach to things sort of belies her darker nature. They reveal obviously more and more about that as the season goes on in terms of what she’s doing and why. She is mysterious which is one of the things that drew me to her. It was one of the things that I liked about her character when I first read the pilot script. She was definitely one of those characters where you go “hmmm, wonder what’s going on there.” There’s more there than meets the eye. (laughs)

There is definitely more to her than meets the eye. She is presumably human yet she knows about the vampires and supernatural activity. Is there more to her that we don’t even know yet?
Oh yeah, absolutely. Absolutely! Thus far, in what’s aired, they’ve barely scratched the surface in terms of what’s really going on with her. She’s a little bit of a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Pardon the pun, but she’s got a lot going on. And she’s one of those people that knows everything in The Gates, she knows everything that’s going on, she knows everybody’s secrets, and is using that knowledge — putting it to not exactly a good use. Let’s just say she’s got some issues.

(laughs) That makes sense. And one of the things I really loved was when you turned up with the kids. It was such a great, manipulative scene. What was it like taking on two very different persona?
It was fun actually! That was really fun to do because you got the little girls who I was playing with at the beginning of the scene — first of all they are great, and so cute and it just made it so much creepier, because it was this nice, innocent, playful moment that was so loaded obviously between Claire and I. And what I was ultimately threatening her with is so huge and it’s so mean, and it’s cruel. And there was just this underlying tone throughout the whole scene that was very disturbing, (laughs) I thought — which is fun. As an actor, those are things that are fun to play with.

And what has been the most challenging part of playing Devon for you?
I would say with every character that you play, there’s always going to be — to varying degrees — a large part of you that’s in that character, a small part of you that’s in that character, there’s always something that you can connect to. And with Devon, as the series goes on, and you learn more about her dark nature and what it is that she’s doing, that can be a little bit of a stretch because you’re really trying to make sense of it and trying to relate to the character. And when the person is doing things that are (laughs) what normal people consider horrible and horrifying, you really have to stretch your imagination a little bit. But you can always understand it on some level, and to her, what she’s doing is right. So it’s not like she’s walking around thinking she’s a horrible person. What she’s doing, she thinks is completely justified.

Pretty Little Liars, a breakout hit drama from ABC Family, has been embraced by critics and fans alike. It is one of those shows that is popular among a wide variety of demographics and contains everything that makes an original, successful show. I adored the book series it was based on and was even more thrilled when it came to one of my favorite networks. It has exceeded my expectations in so many ways and I can’t wait to see more. This week’s episode, titled “Please, Do Talk About Me When I’m Gone,” is a pivotal one. And as Shay Mitchell (Emily Fields) says we will get to see a lot more layers to Emily that we haven’t seen before. Shay was sold on the series since the title (who wouldn’t be?) and we talked about everything from the Emily and Maya relationship to her similarities with her on screen persona.

What originally drew you to the role? I know you originally tried out for the role of Spencer.
Everything from just hearing the title. I got the call from my manager and she was like I have this pilot called Pretty Little Liars and I was like “Stop. How cool is that title?” She’s like “I know, but let me tell you more about the storyline.” So really, I didn’t know too much about it when I auditioned for it. I had my character’s background, and that’s kind of where I got the whole idea of what it was. After getting further along in the audition process, I did a Google search and a whole bunch came up at me. I got that it was a book series, and had a very big popular fan base. So that’s kind of where I found out about all that. I only really knew about my character, but the title was amazing.

Yeah well, it’s a really good title! And are you anything like Emily at all?
There are some qualities about Emily — especially when she’s with her four friends — sometimes the things she does, I’m like “Oh, I’d be that same way.” I think she has a lot of respectful qualities about her. One: she’s extremely loyal to her friends. She can keep a secret. I’m sure that if you were to tell your secret to someone, you should tell it to Emily. She’s the smoother-over. She wants everything to be good, so she tries to keep the peace in her group of friends. I like that about her, and I try to do the same in my group of friends, so those qualities.

Emily’s obviously going through a phase of her life that I feel like a lot of teenagers go through. It’s a rather groundbreaking subject for a show like Pretty Little Liars. Why do you think it’s important to tackle?
I think the way that they’ve done it with her character is completely different from other shows and other characters. On other shows, they have a lesbian character, or they have a gay character. But with this show, you can’t really label her. And I think there’s so many teens, they watch these shows and they are like “Oh yeah, that girl is a lesbian, or this guy’s gay,” but with Emily, they’re like “I might be able to identify with this character more because she doesn’t know.” And they might not know at that time what they’re going through. So I love the fact that they are not putting her in one category right now, and she’s just figuring it out, going along with it. She’s experimenting and figuring it out. So I think that’s really cool. And it’s different from other shows that I’ve seen in the way that they’re doing it.

Yeah, absolutely. Have you gotten a lot of feedback on the Emily and Maya storyline?
I have. Some of the most amazing comments I’ve been getting was that the show has really helped them out a lot, they’ve been able to find themselves a little bit more. And from the older fan base, they’re messaging me saying they wish the show as on ten years ago when they were in high school, it really would have helped them out to know that someone else is going through the same thing. And I think it’s awesome. The fact that teens are watching this, sometimes with their family, the subject may be a little bit easier to talk about, or start talking about, because it’s right there, and we’re not hiding from it. I think it’s very cool. So yes, I have been getting very good feedback.

That’s very good to hear. Emily’s the peace keeper as you said, but she also has many layers. Is there a lot about her that we don’t know yet?
I think there is. It’s like peeling the onion. And right now, I think we’ve only got through the first few layers. She is different from the other characters, because she’s not putting it all out there. She’s a very mysterious person, there’s a lot of different layers to her. So going along, I guess she is quiet, and she is a peace keeper, but there may be some other stuff about her that will be coming out in the later episodes that people might not have expected that that’s who she was. There’s many different layers to Emily.

And has playing a character with so many layers been a challenge for you?
No, it’s been very, very exciting. In every episode, I learn a little bit more about Emily. And I learn a little bit more about the way that she would think about things or handle the situation. And I’m very excited to come back and shoot the next twelve, with more knowledge of her. And even on my break, I’m always kind of wondering “Huh, I wonder what she would do.” I put myself in her shoes for a little bit, and it’s very exciting. I think it’s great to play a character with different layers.

You read the books. Did you take any of what you read and bring it into your portrayal of Emily?
Oh totally. I think for an actor to have such an amazing back story, with the books being written about her and any other character, it’s amazing to go in with. That’s who the fans loved when they heard about Pretty Little Liars. They got to love the Emily that was written about, so of course I had to take that on, along with other things to make it a little bit different. Because I am playing it and it’s coming from my imagination on the show. So yes, I did take a huge, huge chunk of what Sara had written about her. And from reading it, I feel like her spirit came into me and that’s what I’ve been playing with. Not all the events are the same that happen in the books, so with that, I have to do my own take on what I feel Emily would do. And that’s kind of been what I’ve been doing.

Right, I know a lot of the Emily and Toby moments weren’t in the book and they’ve been great. So I wanted to know if you have a favorite moment from filming the show?
Favorite moment? I must say, as bad as I felt for Emily, in the homecoming episode, for me, was very exciting. (laughs) Getting to run around in those heels was fun, and I had a blast shooting that episode. I won’t speak for Emily on this, but for me, I really enjoyed shooting the homecoming episode.

Well, it was great to watch. And I know you can’t spoil too much, but can you give us a little teaser of what’s coming up for Emily? I know there is a big episode coming up this week.
Yes, I will say that you will get to know a couple more layers of Emily’s character tomorrow. And (laughs) I wish I was able to say a lot more, but I can’t!

I understand. I’m obviously sold on the show, but if you had to tell viewers why they should tune in, what would you say?
I would say if you like drama, mystery, good relationships, and to be on the edge of your seat for an entire hour, then you should watch Pretty Little Liars because it has all that and more!

Be sure to tune in tonight to ABC Family for an all new episode of Pretty Little Liars!

As you may know, I recently participated in the ABC Family Pretty Little Liars Secret Keepers game. We were given a phone (that came buried in a box of real dirt), a character to play, and a bunch of challenges from A. It was actually really fun, and as a reward for completing the game, we were able to ask a question to the actress who played our assigned character. I played Emily Fields, so I was able to ask Shay Mitchell what it’s like bringing Emily to life. This was before all the latest Emily/Toby drama went down, or you can be assured I would have asked her something about that.

Check out her answer in this great video:

Pretty Little Liars airs on Tuesday nights at 8 pm on ABC Family.

The second season premiere of White Collar ended with a big cliffhanger. Marsha Thomason, who plays Diana, has been upgraded to a series regular and all we know is that she has something to do with the music box. While Neal and Peter might be the main cast, Diana was one of my favorites last season and I’m so glad she is taking on a bigger role. I recently had the chance to visit the set of White Collar, where Marsha Thomason chatted about Diana (is she good or evil?), her own TV addiction (she’s a Gleek!) and the support she’s had from the gay community.

So season two episode one ended on an interesting note, can you give us some spoilers?
I don’t remember what happened at the end [laughs].  We’re shooting episode six now. they all merge into one.

You opened the safe...the Music Box.
Oh, right yeah, oh yeah.  So it’s, is Diana good or bad right?

Yeah.
Well I can’t say.

Well I’m curious to know, you know, you’re signed up for season two with a bigger role. And how has that been, taking on a bigger role from season one to season two?
Oh it’s been great.  I mean everybody’s so lovely here, and it’s such a great part, it’s a wonderful environment.  And, you know, it sounds so cheesy when we say that, because I’ve lied in the past when I’ve said that on shows [laughs].  But actually, in this instance, it’s really true, like everyone is so lovely and it’s such a pleasure to come here.  And it’s just, it’s been really great. I’m loving working in the city, you know, being here.  New York is such a big pie, it’s like a character of its own on the show and its been really great.

So how do you like being in New York compared to being back [home]?
Well, I live in LA, I’ve lived there for almost ten years, so I feel almost like an American now.  I know I don’t sound like one but it’s been great being here, it’s such a great city, it’s so vibrant, I’ve loved it, really loved it.  It’s always been a dream of mine to work in New York.

When you came in on season one did they tell you that it was possibly going to be a season two recurring role?  Or did they tell you we’ll see what happens?
Yeah it was kind up in the air, we didn’t really know what was going to happen with it, which is often the case in this business as you know.  So it’s great to be back for this second season [with the] boys.

And you play a really strong female character who’s gay, and do you think we might see your relationship in the future?
I think you might, yeah.

[laughter] Oh, she knowingly nods.
She knowingly raises a brow [laughs].

USA Network has another hit on their hands with the new spy drama Covert Affairs, which premieres tonight. Piper Perabo stars as Annie Walker: a good girl with a shady past who gets thrown into CIA action rather early. She befriends Auggie (Chris Gorham) a blind CIA agent and tech whiz, and has to live up to her hard ass boss Joan Campbell (Keri Matchet). I recently had the chance to visit the Covert Affairs set, and see what the “CIA” really looks like. Piper Perabo chatted with us about spending time at Langley CIA Headquarters, Valerie Plame and what attracted her to this strong female role.

So I understand you had the chance to go to Langley to help research this role.  What type of prep have they given you in order to really embody this character?
Well we started, for the pilot, I started training four weeks before I even came to the pilot.  And then we did, I think it was four more weeks of training pre the beginning of shooting, and Doug Liman was cutting Fair Game at that point.  So he had, because of that and because of his previous projects, he has contacts, personal contacts at Langley.  And so all I had to do was ask and he was like, “Yeah.”  It was cool, like I went and I met agents who are my age who work in the field, women, and got to talk to them.  Not just about—the funny thing is the things that they can’t talk about aren’t really the things that I, you know, I don’t need to know where your stationed or what you’re doing.  But my questions were more like, “What kind of car do you drive?  Does your boyfriend know what you do? Do your parents?”  You know what I mean?  There was a lot of personal stuff that they actually could talk about, even though I’m sure they didn’t give me their real names, that kind of stuff was really useful.  And because this show is like kind of a humanist approach to the CIA, just sort of seeing that it’s not a fancy car, it’s like a pretty cheap economy car [laughs].  Because you’re on a government salary, you know what I mean?  And one woman that I talked to who’s an officer, her specialty is Anbar Province and I said, “Oh well have you ever…” she was my age, and I said, “Have you ever briefed the President?”  And she said, “Yeah I briefed Bush three times.” And I was like, “Whoa, what did you wear?” [laughs].  Because like well, you know, I don’t know [laughs].  And she said, “Well I bought a new suit every time because I was so nervous I didn’t want there to be anything,” you know like.  And I said, “Oh my God that’s so expensive,” you know, like when you do budget wardrobe the suits are really expensive.  And I was like, “What kind of suit?” and she was like, “Ann Taylor” and I was like, “Right, right.”  Because you’re a normal person, you know what I mean, you’re not wearing like the Gucci suit to brief the President.  So it was really, helped to kind of fill out the real, to make it less James Bond, you know what I mean?  Although we do take sort of a little leeway with the fashion.

I wondered if you could talk a little bit more about the time you spent with Valerie Plame and what insights she gave you that you took to Annie.
Valerie Plame was our consultant on the pilot, which was incredible to have her insight, because since she’s no longer in the CIA and because of the way she left it, she is more willing to share things than someone who’s from the agency can’t really talk about it.  Also, just being on the ground, she can walk through the set of the CIA.  We were shooting a scene that had extras, there’s an induction ceremony situation, and there were extras that came in to the CIA and in their wardrobe they had purses, but that’s impossible because you can’t carry anything in or out of the CIA, so having Valerie around to continually say well, these are the kinds of ID cards.  And another thing was the CIA is a giant office, like any other office, and so there are reams and reams of paper.  They’re can’t be regular trash in the CIA because obviously that paper is carrying all kinds of top secret documents, and it’s not just shredded at the CIA, it’s all burn bagged.  So then all the trash cans were taken out and all the burn bags were brought in so everyone has burn bags under their desk.  It was just again and again her attention to detail that was really, really helpful.

So can you talk about what originally attracted you to the role and how it’s been playing such a powerful lead female character for you?
I’d been doing a play for almost a year, Neil Labute’s new play, Reasons to be Pretty.  And because of the sort of actor de facto strike and then the real writers strike, there had just been kind of a real slow down in film and scripts coming out.  And so when this came up, although I hadn’t really considered doing television before, because it was a feminine heroine, that really attracted me to it, you know what I mean?  Not just playing like the girlfriend of the sidekick or the person who’s always being rescued.  It’s just, there’s nothing to do in those roles and they get pretty boring.  And then when I met the creators, Matt and Chris, we really got along.  I don’t know if you guys have got—they’re in LA so.  They’re really nice guys, and they’re really confident in who they are, like they don’t, they know what is cool but they don’t have to act cool all the time.  And I really appreciate that in a writer, you know what I mean?  So we get along really well and that made me feel good about, you know, starting a whole world together.

One of the lines in the pilot episode that interested me is, Auggie’s character, he says didn’t think that your character was the right type for the CIA.  And when you basically said you’d been burned in a relationship and this and that, is that just—makes you perfect for the role, the fact that you want to protect yourself and not get involved.  Is that the type they presented you with at Langley or where did that come from?
Well, I’m not sure where the inspiration for that, but I know what you’re talking about, that kind of CIA recruiting type.  And I think that, there’s two things that they said at Langley. One is, especially since 9-11 they’ve been recruiting in a much kind of broader profile, because they wanted more diversity of age and background, because what they’re doing just requires, you know, a different kind of blending in.  In fact, one of the women that I saw when I was there was in her 90s and she had the kind of key like an officer has, I mean they call agents officers there.  And I said to the officer that I was with, “That lady’s a spy?” and he said, “Yeah she’s a Russian language expert.  And because of her age she understands all the different, like, nuances of the different dialects in Russian and so what that signifies.”  And I was like, I called my grandma, I was like, “Dude, like you could work here,” [laughs] you know.  But I think also a kind of, that slightly closed but interested in someone else personality, you know what I mean, that you keep your cards close to your vest.  The people that I met when I was there they like, tell a great joke, you know what I mean?  They’re really allowed to laugh, it’s like when they’re laughing at something, are easy to laugh.  It’s like people that you would want to sit next to at a bar, but when you got up from the bar they didn’t really tell you anything about themselves even though you were talking the whole time.  And I found that consistently with the people, they were all sort of pretty—but not like smashingly good-looking.  You were just like, “Oh they seem so…” you know easy to love but also easy to kind of forget, you know.  And so, that was the type that I was seeing when I was there.
