Glenn Howerton Talks Fargo, Tuesdays on FX

By Jamie Ruby

Glenn HowertonLast night marked the end for Don Chumph on FX's popular series Fargo. The actor, Glenn Howerton (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia), recently talked to the media about his work on the series, which airs Tuesday nights on FX.

Howerton talked to SciFi Vision about what initially attracted him to the role. "I didn't know a whole lot about it when I said yes to it if I'm being honest. Television moves at a different pace than film. I knew that the Coen brothers were involved. I've been a big fan of FX dramas for a while, and obviously, I've been a part of the family for many, many years, and the president of FX, John Landgraf called me and he'd been speaking about - he knows that my background is not really in comedy, and a lot of my background is actually in more dramatic stuff, which is weird. So, he always asks me, he threw it out there, would you ever want to be on one of our dramas, and I said absolutely.

"So this came along and even though it's kind of a comedic role, he felt like it was something that I hadn't really done comedic-ly before, and it was part of a drama, and he explained the concept to me, who the character was, what the tone of the show was. I'm a big fan of the movie, Fargo, and I basically without ever even seeing a script, I said yes, just because of all the people that were involved."

Exclusive Video: Jack Kenny on the Warehouse 13 Set Talks About the Pyka Kiss

Warehouse 13The executive producer of Warehouse 13 Jack Kenny talked to SciFi Vision during a set visit last August. While talking about the finale, he specifically talked about the kiss between Pete (Eddie McClintock) and Myka (Joanne Kelly). "It's not as you'd expect it would be, and it's you know, it's inevitable, yet still surprising I think. I think it's both inevitable and surprising, and I think it's lovely and warm, and I think it's incredibly satisfying in a way that isn't schmaltzy or overwrought or expected; it's just very satisfying. You go "Awe. Of course, of course. Now it's right; now everything is right."

"And yet their relationship doesn't really change. They maintain their same sort of attitude about each other - it's very Beatrice and Benedict. It's Tracy and Hepburn. It's all the great old couples through all of time who you know should end up together and despite the fact that...I think it's very satisfying. I think the fans will be pleased and satisfied, yet still surprised by it, because it's surprising."

Exclusive: Jack Kenny on the Warehouse 13 Finale

Exclusive Interview with Jack Kenny for Warehouse 13
Interview by Jamie Ruby
Written by Jamie Ruby

Jack KennySyfy's popular series Warehouse 13 closed its doors tonight. Recently the executive producer, Jack Kenny, sat down with Jamie Ruby in an exclusive interview to talk about the finale.

One of the things Kenny talked about breaking the stories of the season when they received the news that they would only get six episodes, and how they decided on the finale. "We had already broken I guess about ten episodes by the time we finally got the word whether we were picked up at all. We were in there pitching episodes trying to get them to pick us up, and I actually think pitching them the telenovela episode ("Savage Seduction") was one of the reasons they gave us six instead of just canceling us or whatever. They were very excited about that, the idea of a telenovela episode, so that helped.

"But we had I guess a total of about ten stories when we got the word. I didn't want to end the series on another 'oh, the world's going to blow up and we have to save it' episode. We'd done that; we'd done it three times: saved the world, or the warehouse, or both. And so the way we were arcing out the season with Benedict Valda (Mark Sheppard) and stuff, we thought, 'We can wrap that up in episode five. Let's use episode five as our penultimate and make that the warehouse episode where they save the world.'

Exclusive: John-Paul Nickel on the Warehouse 13 Finale

Exclusive Interview with John-Paul Nickel for Warehouse 13 on April 17, 2014
Interview with Jamie Ruby
Written by Jamie Ruby

John-Paul NickelTo many fans' dismay, Warehouse 13 unfortunately reached its end last night on Syfy. The writer of the series finale, John-Paul Nickel, who also wrote the episodes "The Greatest Gift" and "The Big Snag," recently talked to Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision in an exclusive interview about working on the episode.

In the series finale, fans got to see the characters' defining moments. Nickel had some of his own from the show to share. "I started as a fan of the show, not on it in any way, and then I got hired as the writers' PA, so I went from fan, to coffee bitch, to guy who wrote the series finale...I kind of have a few defining moments. The first is, Jack gave me the second Christmas episode ("The Greatest Gift") to write, and the fact that I got to write not just like a freelance staff, not just any episode in the series, but the Christmas special. And there were extenuating time circumstances involved with that, so to be able to write quickly and still be treated like a writer on the staff, and to be given that chance to actually sit down and write the story and be welcomed aboard, and write and do rewrites, and then go up and shoot, just like I was any writer, to me that was amazing.

Jenna Leigh Green Talks Anthem - Preview Tuesday

Jenna Leigh GreenThe Anthem is a unique stage production coming to the Lynn Redgrave Theatre this month. The original musical was inspired by the Ayn Rand novella with a book by Gary Morgenstein, music by Jonnie Rockwel, and lyrics by Erk Ransom. The sci-fi musical, directed, choreographed, and designed by Rachel Klein, takes place in the future where individuality is illegal.

Jenna Leigh Green, who plays the part of Pandora, recently sat down with Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision in an exclusive interview.

The play is only loosely based on its predecessor, according to Green. "The show is very, very loosely based on the Ayn Rand novel The Anthem, but we are definitely taking somewhat of a farcical, over the top sci-fi twist and throwing that on top of it. The show is going to be an explosion of flash and sparkle and glitter with one very structured world and one very fantastical world. And just taking a very tongue-placed-firmly-in-cheek at this world."

Exclusive: On the Set of Warehouse 13 - Aaron Ashmore

Exclusive Interview with Aaron Ashmore on the set of Warehouse 13 in Toronto on August 23, 2013.

By Jamie Ruby

Aaron AshmoreTonight a great show comes to an end as Syfy airs the final episode of Warehouse 13. Last August Aaron Ashmore talked to SciFi Vision in an exclusive interview about the final season.

Ashmore first joined the cast of Warehouse 13 in season three. The actor talked about how Steve's journey has changed this season now that he has been a part of the warehouse for a while. "I think it's a transition. I mean, the other characters have had two years up on Steve, so he was jumping into this thing. They'd already been together, so I think definitely before the season Steve had found his place at the warehouse, had built up connections with the characters, and became more comfortable with himself, and with the warehouse.

"And I mean, it's a continuation. I think by this point Steve is part of the warehouse and he's come to terms that this is his family; this is his home. So there's less of sort of that development and finding like 'do I belong here?' I mean, I think he's kind of discovered that by the end of the fourth season.

In preparation, Barr and Hurwitz recently talked to the media about the new season of Last Comic Standing.

And, you know, I like Wanda a lot too. And so I thought it would be fun to work with some really great comics and get right in the middle of stuff that has to do with standup comedy."

Coffee and Roiz talked to the media yesterday about the season finale and what fans can expect in the future.

Coffee talked to SciFi Vision about Adalind and Renard's relationship, "They really do have kind of a sickeningly codependent relationship. I don't know that there's ever really forgiveness or ultimate trust. But it does seem like the playing field is a little bit leveled with what they've done to each other."

Roiz added, "She certainly has a way with Renard. And I think there's always a possibility of them finding their way back to each other to some extent. But you know, there's also that baby that bonds them so there's always a need to kind of - hello, there's always going to be that bond between them because of that baby."
