Netflix recently announced a new addition to their live action "Avatar: The Last Airbender" series: Daniel Dae Kim as Fire Lord Ozai. Fans of series will recognize Fire Lord Ozai as the fearsome leader of the Fire Nation and terrible father of fan-favorite Prince Zuko. Previously, the character was portrayed by Cliff Curtis in M. Night Shyamalan's much-maligned "The Last Airbender," and voiced to magnificent effect by Mark Hamill, whose voice acting credits include playing the Joker.
Recently, I had the chance to sit down with Vaughn Hebron, star of the season ten revival of "The Game." In this candid interview, the up-and-coming actor spoke about everything from growing up as the eldest of nine kids, to how he pivoted from being a pharmaceutical rep to actor, and finally to his experiences appearing in Tyler Perry's "The Oval," the upcoming season of "The Game," thriller "The Devil You Know" with Omar Epps and Michael Ealy, and the Will Smith-led "King Richard," the film about how Venus and Serena Williams' father helped build his daughters' tennis careers. Hebron's career is certainly on fire!
In a new "Awards Chatter" podcast episode by The Hollywood Reporter, writer, director, and producer multi-hyphenate David Chase gave an in-depth interview about his path to TV and how that eventually led him to make "The Sopranos," a groundbreaking TV series that put HBO's television programming on the map.
