Gilmore Girls was one of Chad Michael Murray’s first acting roles. Murray played Tristin Dugray, who dated both Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) and Paris Geller (Liza Weil), two Gilmore Girls regulars. Tristin would depart when Murray moved on to Dawson’s Creek, but he still remembers feeling out of his depth with Weil.

Murray was a guest on Scott Patterson’s I Am All In podcast on Dec. 14, 2021 to discuss his time on Gilmore Girls. When Patterson asked him about working with Weil, Murray admitted he felt intimidated.

By the time she played Paris, Weil had already been acting since the mid-90s. Newbie Murray could tell he was working with someone with experience. Tristan and Paris were supposed to have known each other since childhood, but Murray felt like he was thrown in the deep end.

Gilmore Girls was famous for being letter perfect with Amy Sherman-Palladino’s scripts. New actors had to learn to deliver the lines fast, and they couldn’t change a thing. For the series regulars, that meant a lot of memorization every week, but they knew the rules. Jason Kravits stepped in it his very first take as Dwight.

Dwight was only in one episode, but he appeared on Scott Patterson’s I Am All In on May 13 to discuss it. Kravits told Patterson the very familiar story of a Gilmore Girls guest star who had to be schooled in the Sherman-Palladino way.

They killed Chief Taylor.
He was often at odds with Sharon and the detectives about how to proceed, focused on handling the media during difficult cases, and recently responded to bigotry with a smile and a soft word.
His part was never huge, but he was an important part of the operation anyway. And as of the beginning of Major Crimes Season 5 Episode 11, he was dead.
His death was surprising and sad, and the Major Crimes Unit's reactions to it were nothing short of riveting, emotional drama.
Rusty: I don't wanna just sit around. I wanna help. Dr. Joe was my friend.
Provenza: Rusty. I have known Russell Taylor from his first day. We are all dealing with tragedy.
Permalink: Rusty. I have known Russell Taylor from his first day. We are all dealing with tragedy. Added: September 05, 2016

The spirit of the 2014 New York Innovative Theatre Awards can best be summed up by what presenter Terry Schreiber said when he walked onstage: “It’s great to be home.” For the 10th year running, some of New York’s most inventive artists convened Sept. 22 at Baruch Performing Arts Center's Mason Hall to celebrate the sense of community that comes from making independent theater. A rousing group rendition of Petula Clark’s “Downtown” kicked off the ceremony, with pirouettes and glittering sequins galore. Host Jason Kravits set the evening’s tone when he ripped his tie off, exclaiming, “Fuck it!” He then appeared periodically wearing fewer and fewer clothes, eventually emerging in an outrageously neon jumpsuit. Throughout the presentation of awards there were palpable examples of the enthusiasm, energy, and passion that characterize New York’s independent theater scene. Becky Baumwoll, in accepting the award for best ensemble on behalf of Broken Box Mime Theater,...

Should a spouse support his or her partner unconditionally?
Such was the debate between Mike (Michael J. Fox) and Annie (Betsy Brandt) in "Teammates," Thursday's (Oct. 24) episode of NBC's "The Michael J. Fox Show," resulting from Annie calling out a neighbor who pushed his way into their apartment building's elevator before they could get out.
The neighbor later cold-shoulders the eager-to-please Mike -- inspiring Mike to try to make amends by telling him Annie was "off her meds" during the elevator showdown. Annie then is surprised when the man greets her warmly, expressing compassion for her "bipolar disorder."
Mike doesn't choose the most advisable words by explaining to her, "I was just trying to clean up your ... ." And a mildly furious Annie finishes his sentence with, "Mess!," leading Mike to tell her she's sometimes "a little hard on people, and I have to smooth things over from time to time.

We open on yet another Bombshell rehearsal and the cabal has made the inexplicable decision to go with the workshop book, but still graft that dreadful “Public Relations” number from last week onto it. No word on whether the agony auntie will be in drag like Mary Sunshine.
The intro ends and Derek directs the ensemble on how to avoid being crushed under the hideously expensive and unnecessary airplane that will be wheeling in from the wings. Tom and Eileen love it, but Julia declares it artistically void. Eileen shows just how deep in the weeds she is, declaring it a “Technicolor fantasy of the way Marilyn made herself”. This devolves into a fight over Eileen's choosing the old new book instead of the new new book culminating in the loathsome Jerry's saying they might have to cut a number to make room for this one because...

Comedies, without musical interludes, are just not that common on Broadway.
Sure, there have been some recent revivals -- notably "La Bete," "The Importance of Being Earnest" and "Born Yesterday" -- and one-person shows such as "Ghetto Klown" and "Colin Quinn: Long Story Short," but new comedies, where no one dances, no one sings and we hang on wordplay, are pretty rare.
There's a reason. It's really hard to be funny.
But the three names behind "Relatively Speaking" -- Ethan Coen, Elaine May and Woody Allen, each of whom wrote original one-act plays for the show -- pull people into the Brooks Atkinson Theatre.
It's a fun night, and the comedies improve with each one. Coen's "Talking Cure" is about a mailman (Danny Hoch) who went postal and his subsequent sessions with a psychiatrist (Jason Kravits).
It's this one, in particular, where John Turturro's direction is most obvious,...

"Mothers come in for some serious savaging in Relatively Speaking, a reasonably savory tasting platter of comedies by Ethan Coen, Elaine May and Woody Allen that opened on Thursday night at the Brooks Atkinson Theater," writes Charles Isherwood in the New York Times, which ran May's interview with Coen and Allen last week. "Old-fashioned boulevard comedy — bright, easygoing fare that doesn't require the deciphering of plummy or crummy British accents — has more or less evaporated from the Broadway marketplace since the heyday of Neil Simon. Relatively Speaking brings back this once-popular genre in manageable bite-size portions, provided by starry showbiz names who sometimes seem to be channeling Mr Simon's gag-driven style. These plays are not going to do anything much in the way of reputation burnishing for their three celebrated authors — and certainly none is required — but they are packed with nifty zingers and have been directed by John Turturro...
