Silence on Set

In the "Time is Up" sequel, Game of Love, Benjamin Mascolo returns to the big screen to continue Roy and Vivien's love story. Game of Love has Roy and Vivien traveling together across the country and ending up in Sicily to see Roy's family. Mascolo said he was excited to continue telling this story because he felt that Roy never understood love until he met Vivien. However, since we last saw them, Mascolo said Roy went straight from never knowing what love is into a relationship. After being with Vivien for a significant period, the couple struggles to stay together as issues arise that all couples go through. Mascolo said it was so much fun to come back and continue to tell the story of Roy and Vivien, adding he is blessed to be able to do film work, which he doesn't take for granted. When asked about a possible third movie, Mascolo said he doesn't have an answer yet but thinks the fans will enjoy seeing him and Bella Thorne (his co-star) on screen together again.

Jack Bannon (Alfred Pennyworth) and Ben Aldridge (Thomas Wayne) came to discuss their HBO Max hit, Pennyworth: The Origin of Batmans Butler, which is currently in its third season. Bannon and Aldridge discuss how far their characters have come since season one, that crazy season two finale, and what fans can expect going into season three. Bannon discusses how, initially, it was a daunting task to take on these iconic roles, but over time they were able to settle in and make them their own. Meanwhile, Aldridge said when we first met Thomas, who was working for the CIA, he seemed lost and unable to tell the difference between right and wrong. However, now that he has a family and has been given more responsibility, things have shifted, causing his character to try to be on the straight and narrow. Bannon and Aldridge give us some sneak peeks at what it was like filming that crazy season two finale and what fans can expect for this latest season.

Steve Spingola (best known for his work on the Jeffrey Dahmer case) has another reason to celebrate -- Cold Justice, a show he guest stars on regularly in hopes of solving cold cases, is celebrating its 100th episode in a special two-parter. Spingola has appeared on the show for years as he works with former Texas prosecutor Kelly Siegler on cold cases (that can sometimes be 30+ years old). Spingola is a wealth of knowledge, from the importance of the increase in technology to the smallest detail that can help piece together a solid circumstantial case. When speaking to him (as a true crime nerd), I couldn't help but get lost in many questions about the process, what they do while filming, and what happens when the cameras stop rolling. Spingola spent much of his afternoon speaking to me about the judicial process and what happens when he begins directing a case.

We spoke with Jennifer Lawrence, Brian Tyree Henry, Diego Garcia, Elizabeth Sanders, and Linda Edmon.

Meanwhile, Henry spoke about the collaboration on set and how grateful he was to have a voice on set for this project he loves and have a sounding board to discuss the trauma they portray.

Eric Petersen, star of the dark comedy Kevin Can F**K Himself, came on to discuss how he has been able to make Kevin a character we all love to hate and hate to love. Peterson said it was a balance for him, ensuring that he always kept Kevin in the over-the-top world of the multi-camera sitcom (where he makes horrible comments) -- yet keeping it satirical and funny. Petersen said that while he would never make these comments in real life, it was important for the audience to feel somewhat connected to his character. He also spoke about what it was like seeing other characters evolve over the two seasons while working to keep Kevin relatively status quo. Petersen does a great job explaining Kevin's psyche and acknowledges the nuances and cracks that begin to show as the series ends. So, of course, we had to ask him... will we ever see Kevin in the real world? You will have to listen to find out.

Alex Bonifer, Kevin Can F**K himself star, spoke to us about the evolution of his character, going from the sidekick friend in the multi-camera sitcom universe into the gritter season single-camera version. Bonifer said that he felt the enormity of what "that" scene meant at the end of season one as he was pulled out of the sitcom. Bonifer said that fans could expect many changes in Neil for the show's final season. While Bonifer credits the writers, cast, and crew -- it should be said that Bonifer is an extraordinary actor. He made minor changes (look for them) that make the viewers aware, even in the sitcom world, that he is no longer the same Neil we once knew. As far as the series finale goes, Bonifer said we would just have to wait and find out, adding that he was happy they knew it was coming to they could end it on their terms but was sad to say goodbye to the loveable Neil O'Connor.

Adelaide Clemens spoke to us exclusively at the Toronto International Film Festival about the premiere of her latest film called, The Swearing Jar. Although we had to tread carefully to speak about this beautiful movie without giving anything away, Clemens was on board to discuss everything from getting the part -- to singing in the film, working with Patrick J. Adams (who plays her husband), and what she hopes fans will take away from the film. As Clemens and I worked really hard not to spoil anything, I highly recommend you watch this film without reading anything beforehand and just enjoy the ride.

Thomas Jane and Harlow Jane (father/daughter in real-life) discuss what it was like working together for the first time in their newest thriller, Dig. Harlow talks about tackling her first full-length feature film, what it was like having to work using emotions only, and how much she learned from the other actors on set (including her dad). Meanwhile, Thomas spoke about the need for people not only to see this film but to understand the humanity in it. He gracefully takes time to dissect his character and the storyline while constantly giving props to his daughter (like a proud father would). In this must-see thriller, Thomas and Harlow do a fantastic job of leaning into the pain of their family's tragedies while maintaining hope.
