Exclusive: Ramifications of the recent incidents on the Australia set of indie action-thriller Runner continue to unfold, as actor Kal Penn has made the decision to part ways with his manager Dan Spilo, Deadline has learned.
Sources close to Penn said that the separation came before yesterday’s reports on the Spilo scandal, as the actor became apprised through the grapevine of what had happened overseas. Spilo was also dismissed from his firm Industry Entertainment on Friday.
Manager-producer Spilo was fired for cause after at least one incident on the Runner set, with the star of the film, his client Alan Ritchson, dismissing him from his team at that time. Sources cited inappropriate behavior on Runner that included bullying and yelling at crew as the reason for his termination, which came over a week ago, following an Hr investigation.

Dan Spilo is out at Industry Entertainment, the management company he spent decades building as a partner.
His departure comes a day after The Hollywood Reporter exclusively broke the news that Spilo had split with his most prominent client, Reacher star Alan Ritchson.

In recent days, Kal Penn also departed Spilo’s roster, while Gen V star Lizze Broadway is no longer on his client list.

Netflix is doubling down on adaptations of classic novels, with the streamer officially greenlighting series version of “The Age of Innocence” and “Unaccustomed Earth.”
“The Age of Innocence” was written by Edith Wharton and was originally published in 1920. The limited series at Netflix is described as a “passionate and heart-rending will-they/won’t-they love triangle exploring themes of freedom, duty, identity and love in all its forms. This fresh take is true to Wharton’s novel but will speak to a new generation as we traverse the ballrooms and bedrooms of these young people, asking the question what is love — and what is lust? And should we ultimately be driven by our heads or by our hearts?”
Emma Frost — known for her work on shows like “The Spanish Princess,” “The White Princess,” and “The White Queen” — will write all episodes and serve as executive producer and showrunner. Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping,...

The 2024–25 TV season isn’t even over yet, but the carcasses of beloved characters already lie scattered across the landscape.
A device as old as television itself, character deaths happen when actors want to move on (or are forced to), or when a stale story needs a jolt of life.
Sometimes, we go seasons without a significant death on any of our favorite shows. Other times, we can barely catch our breath before we’re saying goodbye to someone else.

The characters in The Big Bang Theory have always been polarizing, as some fans adore them, while others point out their more problematic traits. But there are two characters that fans almost universally despise, right from their very first appearance. And honestly, it’s hard to argue with that opinion.

In Mira Nair’s 2006 film version of Jhumpa Lahiri’s novel “The Namesake,” the audience is treated to an intimate presentation of the immigrant experience through the eyes of the Ganguli family. The film jumps back and forth between two generations—Bengali immigrants Ashoke and Ashima, who move to America, and their American-born son Gogol—and explores the complicated dynamics of cultural identity, belonging, and self-discovery. Through exquisite visual narrative, Nair discovers the ways that individuals convey themselves from one geographic, cultural, and psychological divide to another, with a deeply affecting meditation on the meaning of existence between worlds.
The film opens with a visual comparison which at once locates its ultimate concern: contrast between Calcutta’s full, active city streets and snow-covered, unassuming American suburban landscapes. These physical places are not simply backgrounds but become metaphorical landscapes that alter the sense of identity in the characters. Ashima (played by...

Hugh Laurie's curmudgeonly genius was undoubtedly the main draw of "House M.D." but he'd be nothing without a supporting cast of characters to continuously upset, befuddle, and bewilder. From the very beginning of the hit Fox series, Dr. Gregory House was surrounded by a team of colleagues who were both enamored and perpetually offended by a man who remains one of the greatest detectives in movie and TV history.
Whether it was head of oncology at Princeton–Plainsboro Teaching Hospital and House's bestie, Dr. James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard); Dean of Medicine, Dr. Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein), or House's team of diagnosticians, there were plenty of personalities against which the titular M.D.'s cynicism could clash.

Out of all the characters Stanley Tucci has played in his 40-plus years career, there’s one in particular that he relates to the most.
While making a recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show to promote his new Netflix movie, The Electric State, the Oscar-nominated actor was asked by guest host Kal Penn, “Which of your characters is most like you in real life?”
He quickly answered: “Nigel in The Devil Wears Prada! He’s very stylish, and he can be a bit caustic. But he’s got a good heart.”
He playfully added, “I mean, I think I have a good heart.”
Tucci starred alongside Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway in the 2006 classic as the fashion-obsessed art director at Runway magazine. Throughout the film, he takes Andy (Hathaway) under his wing and helps her navigate working as the assistant to Runway editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly (Streep.)

Zero Day is one of Netflix's most popular and talked about shows at the moment, which doesn't come as a surprise given its compelling storyline and amazingly talented cast. I mean, who wouldn't want to watch a show starring big names such as Robert De Niro, Angela Bassett, Jesse Plemons, Lizzy Caplan, Connie Britton, etc.?
The entire first season of the new political thriller dropped on Netflix on Feb. 20, and with just six episodes, it didn't take long for viewers to binge-watch the whole installment. As expected, many rushed to search for details about a potential second season. However, they may not find the news they were hoping for. With Zero Day being billed as a limited series, the chances of it returning with a new season are slim, as its storyline is intended to be a self-contained narrative.

Richest 'House' Cast Members Revealed, Wealthiest Stars Ranked Lowest to Highest Estimated Net Worth

House is officially two decades old!
The medical drama first premiered in November 2004 on Fox, and it went on for eight seasons, before ending in May 2012.

While his behavior can border on antisocial, House is a brilliant diagnostician whose unconventional thinking and flawless instincts afford him widespread respect.

The early 2000s were known for a number of outlandish comedy films. With creative minds like Judd Apatow and Adam McKay in the director and producer's seat and hilarious actors like Seth Rogen and Will Ferrell bringing their films to life, many of the films that emerged during this period shaped how modern audiences perceive comedy.
Today, the comedy genre can feel distant from this pivotal period, although more diverse voices are making a name for themselves in the comedic field. It's fun to revisit the past and remember the films that reflected a time that was truly like no other.
