Kaleidoscope 2009: Important TV Events (Part 1/4)
28 December 2009 2:33 AM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
Struck by recession, the TV world ceased to inflate a full-blown season in 2009. In order to keep the budget slim, many shows reluctantly reduced the number of star appearances and the networks were forced to carefully select those which will gain them profit and ratings. This led to many actor exits as well as mediocre show cancellations. AceShowbiz is taking its readers for a time travel to the year that was particularly hard on entertainment industry, beginning with the first quarter.
January
What started with a big bang, "Prison Break" had to swallow bitter pill when Fox decided to pull the plug after four years in the running. The series starring Wentworth Miller took a sharp plunge in the transition from third (8.2 million) to fourth (5.3 million) season, which prompted the network to order two additional episodes as a mean of conclusion to the whole drama.

Production on HBO's hit vampire series, True Blood, resumed early this month for its third season, which is set to air in summer 2010. Based on all the casting news that has been released for just the first few episodes, it looks like there will be plenty of newcomers. (Minor spoilers ahead)

He will be played by actor Joe Manganiello, who has had recurring roles on One Tree Hill and How I Met Your Mother. Alcide's casting information calls him articulate and heroic, but a little rough around the edges. He helps Sookie in her search for Bill, but he has a psycho girlfriend named Debbie Pelt, who is a fascinating but much hated character in the books. Executive producer Alan Ball said at the Paley Center writers event »

The Cult Spy Awards 2009
17 December 2009 6:51 AM, PST | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
With another eventful year of cult television drawing to a close, it’s time for Cult Spy to swipe aside the cobwebs from its trophy cabinet and dish out a few gongs for some of the best, worst and most downright bizarre moments of 2009. So read on for our take, which encompasses everything from True Blood's Sookie losing her virginity to a vampire and Battlestar Galactica's most evil Cylon topping himself, via the latest botched attempt by Heroes to turn into a kamikaze show... Most Stunning Death The mortality rate for cult characters in 2009 was staggering. 24's dependable Bill Buchanan, Torchwood's loveable Ianto Jones, Prison Break's sweaty Michael Scofield and Primeval’s wooden Nick Cutter were just some of the prominent figures to be felled during the year. However, in terms of sheer impact, the (more) »

The 29-year-old is best known for his role as David 'Tweener' Apolskis in the Us TV show. He was released from prison earlier this year after he was convicted of vehicular manslaughter. Garrison is now writing the screenplay for One Heart, which tells the true story of a football team from the Gainesville (Texas) State School that is made up of kids that have been convicted of crimes including drugs, violence and robbery.

'True Blood' scoop: The search for Alcide begins!
11 December 2009 2:50 PM, PST | EW - Ausiello Files | See recent EW.com - The Ausiello Files news »
True Blood's wolf hunt has officially begun! Although Alan Ball confirmed to me over the summer that werewolf Alcide would take a big bite out of the drama's upcoming third season, the search for an actor to play the pivotal part formally got underway today with the release of the following casting notice: Alcide: Good-looking, rough-around-the-edges, articulate, heroic, and decent, but not what he seems. He gets along well with Sookie. There's even an attraction between the two. Very strong recurring. True Blood is also searching for a fortysomething African-American actor to play Hollis, a bouncer in a bar. »

'Prison Break' Actor Goes from Jail to Screenwritng
10 December 2009 3:51 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
This story, if it pans out the way it's supposed to, is so nice that I might not even make fun of it very much. You may recall that Lane Garrison, best known for appearing in TV's Prison Break, was driving drunk in December 2006 when he hit a tree, killing a 17-year-old male passenger and injuring two 15-year-old female ones. He pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter and was sentenced to 40 months in prison, then escaped when his heavily tattooed brother was sent to the same prison and busted him out. No, I kid. He was released this past April for good behavior.
Now The Hollywood Reporter has word of Garrison's next step: He's writing a screenplay, based on real events, about a football team from a Texas school for teenagers convicted of violent crimes. Think The Longest Yard, but with kids, and inspiring, rather than whatever The Longest Yard was supposed to be. »

Garrison Writing Screenplay
10 December 2009 11:06 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actor Lane Garrison is returning to work following his recent prison stint - he's writing a screenplay based on the true life story of a troubled American football team.
The former Prison Break star was locked up in November 2007 on charges of vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence of cocaine and alcohol following an accident in December 2006, which left a 17-year-old passenger dead.
He was due to serve 40 months behind bars in California, but was released early in April for good behaviour.
Garrison has since enrolled in a rehabilitation treatment programme to kick his drug habit and is now ready to get back into showbusiness with One Heart.
The 29 year old is working on transferring the story of a football team from Texas' Gainesville State School, made up of young convicted criminals involved in drugs, violence and robbery, to the big screen.
The film will follow the kids in their 2008 season, when they lost every game they played, before going on to turn their lives and fortunes around.
The once-embattled Garrison heard of the Gainesville story from pals and was inspired to take on the project after welling up at the team's sad struggle.
He says, "I was moved to tears, because I knew who those kids were because I was one of them. I knew what it was to be locked away and feel hopelessness and feel like, 'Will I ever have another redeeming quality? Will I have a second chance?'" »
[TV] Mental: The Complete First Season
9 December 2009 9:00 PM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
If there’s any show that drives me absolutely crazy, Mental is the one. I’ll admit, I’d never seen it before, and I thought the premise might make for some excellent television. The basis is that Dr. Jack Gallagher (played by Prison Break’s Chris Vance) has been appointed as the Director of Mental Health Services at an La hospital despite having an incredibly unconventional way of dealing with his patients. Unfortunately for him, his boss is also his ex-lover, Nora Skoff (played by Annabella Sciora of Law and Order: Criminal Intent), and is super conventional. Even worse, most of the staff dislikes him from the beginning as Dr. Veronica Hayden-Jones (Jacqueline McKenzie) is bitter he got the job instead of her and they all think he is crazy. Sounds interesting, right?
It should be awesome, but it’s really not. At times I found it unbearable to watch. »
