'Homeland' Star Admits To Being 'An Asshole'
13 June 2013 7:29 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"Homeland" star Mandy Patinkin is like the lovable uncle of Hollywood. (Take his "thrilling" appearance on "Good Day NY" earlier in December as evidence.)
But, the longtime actor admitted at a Emmy roundtable discussion for The Hollywood Reporter (above) that he wasn't aways so jovial on set, specifically while he was playing Dr. Jeffrey Geiger on "Chicago Hope."
"I was very defensive in the beginning, because I didn't let myself trust the directors," he said. "I was arrogant. I wasn't trustful, and I was pretty f***in' insecure. I wouldn't listen to them. When I was doing 'Chicago Hope,' I literally said, 'Tell these people not to talk to me.' And I really can't get over that I had the nerve to do that ... The blessing of surviving, and being 60 years old now and still getting the privilege to do this ... is I learned to listen to them. »

The 10 Best Moments From This Season’s Many, Many Awards Shows
12 June 2013 1:15 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
As many concerned television executives will tell you, Americans rarely sit down to watch TV at the same time anymore — unless an awards show is on, that is, in which case everyone orders a pizza and fires up Twitter simultaneously, so that we can all snark on celebrities in real time. It’s our new national pastime. So in that spirit, here are Vulture’s ten favorite moments from awards-show telecasts from the past year. It probably isn't a surprise to learn that Amy Poehler features heavily. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler at the Golden Globes You want a single joke? Okay, fine. How about the James Cameron one? Or when they made Daniel Day-Lewis do the little E.T. finger? Or Amy Poehler’s fake teeth? Or Amy Poehler sitting on George Clooney’s lap? Yeah, sorry, can’t pick just one. “Mandy Patinkin, holla.” — Claire Danes at the Emmys »

THR Emmy Roundtable: Kevin Bacon, 'Mad Men's' John Slattery and More on Aging, Worst Auditions and 'Jerk' Pasts
12 June 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
This story first appeared in the June 21 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. The gathering of six actors on an early April afternoon in Hollywood felt less like professional duty and more like group therapy. The performers -- Kevin Bacon, 54 (Fox's The Following); Jeff Daniels, 58 (HBO's The Newsroom); Mandy Patinkin, 60 (Showtime's Homeland); Dennis Quaid, 59 (CBS' Vegas); John Slattery, 50 (AMC's Mad Men); and Corey Stoll, 37 (Netflix's House of Cards) -- shared and commiserated like old friends (and with equal parts happiness and horror) as they dissected the terrible auditions, egotistical outbursts, bizarre fan interactions and ongoing

11 June 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Zach Braff’s sophomore feature, Wish I Was Here, has been progressing incredibly well in recent weeks.
Braff launched the project in April on Kickstarter, and after completing its goal within a matter of days, it was fully funded at just over $3m. at the end of last month.
With much of the leading cast already set, Braff has begun meeting with people to work on the other side of the camera alongside him, and after sitting down with Betsy Heimann, he’s announced that she’s officially on board to be the costume designer for Wish I Was Here.
Heimann’s career spans across three decades, and she has worked on some of the most memorable and acclaimed films over the years, including (but certainly not limited to) Reservoir Dogs, Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous, Vanilla Sky, Art School Confidential, Funny People, and what Braff notes is his personal favourite, »

ICM Partners Talent Agent Iris Grossman Moves To Paradigm
6 June 2013 12:28 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Veteran talent agent Iris Grossman has left ICM Partners to join Paradigm as an agent in the talent department. It is unclear which of Grossman’s clients will follow her to Paradigm. Her client list includes Modern Family star Ed O’Neill and Homeland’s Mandy Patinkin. Grossman was a long-time talent agent at ICM and previously served as Svp of Talent and Casting for TNT. “Iris Grossman is someone we have known and respected for many years,” said Paradigm chairman Sam Gores. “We worked very closely together when she was a network executive at TNT, that experience gives her a unique set of skills which her clients are the beneficiaries of and we are very pleased to have her join us.” Grossman’s future at ICM had been uncertain. She was among the veteran agents who did not get offered partnership during last year’s management buyout. “The agency wishes her the best, »

Zach Braff Kickstarter Success: Will Crowdfunding Transform Showbiz?
5 June 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Kickstarter has leveled the playing field for artists in need of funding. But the influx of pros like Zach Braff has many wondering how crowdfunding will be transformed by showbiz (and vice versa).
Over the past four years, Kickstarter has earned a reputation as the place where creators can make their dreams come true by tapping funding outside of traditional industry sources.
It’s not an inaccurate picture of the website, but it’s hardly a complete one. The perception is somewhat blurred by the entry in recent months of high-profile projects that successfully mined millions of dollars in donations, including a Warner Bros.-backed film adaptation of the defunct TV series “Veronica Mars” and Zach Braff-led indie pic “Wish I Was Here.” Studio-based projects with name talent attached will likely follow, carrying with them the potential to reshape at least one corner of the film-financing world.

Zach Braff Kicks Up $3.1 Million Smackers
28 May 2013 8:31 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Kickstarter is not just for the "Veronica Mars" crowd, it appears. While not every celeb — lookin' at you, Melissa Joan Hart — can turn to the internet fundraising machine to make his or her little pet project happen, Zach Braff's "Wish I Was Here" campaign has effectively proven that the "Mars" loot scoop was no fluke.
Braff's own Kickstarter campaign, which promises a writer-directorial follow-up to his hip 2004 indie "Garden State," closed on Friday with a whopping $3.1 million from 46,520 backers, which is 150-plus percent of what he'd aimed for when originating the campaign in late April.
Apparently, he'd had financiers lined up for the project already but saw what Kristen Bell and Rob Thomas were able to wrangle up with the "Mars" crowd and thought, hey, why make Money Guy-based sacrifices to the story when the public might be willing to pony up the production dough themselves?

Kate Hudson on board as Scrubs star's online fundraising drive for new project Wish I Was Here attracts 46,000 supporters
Zach Braff's bid to fund a follow-up to Garden State, his critically acclaimed 2004 directing debut, closed on Friday after gathering support worth a total of $3.1m from more than 46,000 supporters and fans on Kickstarter.
Braff's campaign for Wish I Was Here, the latest high-profile bid for financial support through the crowdfunding site, achieved its goal of $2m in pledged funds just days after launching on 24 April. Since then, the former star of TV comedy Scrubs has signed Kate Hudson, Jim Parsons and Homeland's Mandy Patinkin to appear in the film, which he co-wrote with his brother, Adam. Braff will also play the lead role of a father, actor and husband struggling to find his identity.

Despite polarized reactions, Zach Braff's contentious Kickstarter campaign closed Friday with more than $3.1 million in pledged donations. That figure significantly surpasses the project's $2 million goal, which was met within two days of its launch.
The "Scrubs" actor took to Twitter to thank the 46,520 supporters who contributed:
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I won't let you down! Lets do this. twitter.com/zachbraff/stat…

Braff's efforts will float a hefty portion of "Wish I Was Here," his directorial follow-up to 2004's "Garden State." The remainder of the funding will come from movie investment company Worldview Entertainment, which kicked in the balance in a deal made at the Cannes Film Festival.
The movie boasts a cast that includes Kate Hudson, Mandy Patinkin, Josh Gad, Anna Kendrick, Jim Pasons and fellow "Scrubs" star Donald Faison.

According to Deadline, Worldview Entertainment has stepped in to provide gap financing for the film.

Zach Braff’s Kickstarter campaign for indie drama “Wish I Was Here” has closed after raising $3.1 million in 30 days, including over $400,000 in the final four days.

“We’d like to shoot in August in La, so if you would like a walk on role to complement your credit, you’ll need to be available then,” Braff explained. “You will provide your own travel and accommodation.”
Besides Braff, cast includes Kate Hudson, Mandy Patinkin, Anna Kendrick, Jim Parsons and Josh Gad.
