Currently starring on ABC’s hit series “Grey’s Anatomy,” Camilla Luddington has the gift of portraying characters with both strength and vulnerability. As surgical resident Dr. Jo Wilson, Luddington displays plenty of both, balancing her time between complicated storylines of love — opposite Dr. Alex Karev — and career. She is also popular in the sci-fi/fantasy world for her voice work and embodiment of Lara Croft in the video game "Tomb Raider." Critics praised Luddington for giving the classic icon a much-needed reboot.

In the long-awaited memoir, "Don't Stop Believin'," complete with color photographs, songwriter and keyboardist Jonathan Cain takes readers on an odyssey from center stage with Journey, when all of America was listening to the band's songs, to his hope and faith today. He tells of the thrilling moments when the music came together and offers an inside look at why Steve Perry left and the extraordinary story of their gifted new vocalist, Arnel Pineda. When Jonathan Cain and the iconic band Journey were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cain could say he had finally arrived. But Cain's journey wasn't always easy - and his true arrival in life had more to do with faith than fame.

"In the Country We Love" is a moving, heartbreaking story of one woman's extraordinary resilience in the face of the nightmarish struggles of undocumented residents in this country. There are over 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the US, many of whom have citizen children, whose lives here are just as precarious, and whose stories haven't been told. Written by Diane Guerrero with best-selling author Michelle Burford, this memoir is a tale of personal triumph that also casts a much-needed light on the fears that haunt the daily existence of families like the author's and on a system that fails them over and over. Guerrero joined BUILD to talk about the book and her role in "Superior Donuts."

Set against the backdrop of a predominantly white Ivy League university where racial tensions bubble just below the surface, "Dear White People" is a hilarious send-up of “post-racial” America that weaves together the universal story of finding one’s own identity and forging a wholly unique path. The satirical series -- which picks up where the acclaimed 2014 film by the same name left off – follows a group of Winchester University’s students of color as they navigate a diverse landscape of social injustice, cultural bias, political correctness (or lack thereof) and sometimes misguided activism in the millennial age. Stars Logan Browning, Antoinette Robertson & Ashley Blaine Featherson paid a visit to BUILD to have a conversation about the Netflix series.

Kate Rockwell is currently bleaching out her brain cells in "Mean Girls: the Musical," originating the role of pretty-but-dim Karen Smith, for which she earned a Helen Hayes nomination during their out of town tryout in Washington DC. She also has a new album, "Back to My Roots," that takes listeners back to the “second Golden-Age” of Broadway musicals. Rockwell hopped on the BUILD stage to chat about both projects.

Out now via Photo Finish Records, American singer-songwriter Rozes and iconic Dutch producer Nicky Romero had a stunning debut collaboration, "Where Would We Be." A larger-than-life song filled with sumptuous pop-laden soundscapes, "Where Would We Be" marries Rozes’ unmistakable pristine vocals with the impeccable production values for which Nicky Romero has become so famed over the years. BUILD hosted Rozes and Romero as they dropped by to speak on the collaboration and more.

Two-time Academy Award winner and Tony Award winner Denzel Washington returns to Broadway in one of the signal roles in the American theatre in Eugene O’Neill’s "The Iceman Cometh." Set in the summer of 1912 at Harry Hope's saloon on New York's lower west side, "The Iceman Cometh" is O'Neill's classic story of a free-spending, boisterous salesman who compels his fellow barflies to confront their pipe dreams. David Morse, who plays the role of Larry Slade, paid a visit to BUILD to speak on the play.

Robert F. Kennedy's passion and vision helped his brother John get elected president, sparked a country's conscience, guided the nation through terrifying crises, and inspired a generation. In the decade before his assassination at age 42, as Attorney General, a United States Senator and a candidate for President, RFK also riled the establishment as he sharpened his political acumen, and challenged America to become the best version of itself. Told through rare and never-before-seen footage, director Dawn Porter's four-part documentary series "Bobby Kennedy for President" examines the "Bobby Phenomenon" of the 1960s and the continuing influence of the man many see as the greatest loss of a troubling and turbulent era.

FXX’s "Archer" is an original animated, half-hour comedy that, in its ninth season, centers on the semi-functioning alcoholic seaplane pilot, Sterling Archer (H. Jon Benjamin), a lush on the lush South Pacific island of Mitimotu in 1939.
