Jim Meskimen has been the voice-double of more famous people in movies, TV shows and video games than you could easily count, and now he’s stepping out of the shadows to take a well-earned bow. This is Jim reciting Clarence’s speech from Richard III – in no less than 25 different [...] The entertainment world is rather liberally stocked with people who will eagerly tell you they’re unfeasibly talented, so it makes a very welcome change to find a group by whom such claims have been viably earned. One of these rare cases is Studio Center. Formed in 1966 the firm specializes in [...] As part of Her Majesty the Queen’s birthday it’s been announced that British entertainer and icon, Bruce Forsyth is to be knighted. In the long and colorful history of this award there can be few people whose claim to deserve it is as solid as Bruce’s. This unique man got famous [...]
Not being a citizen does have its perks. You can’t be drafted, you never have to serve on a Jury, and this endless, three-ring circus of an Election is purely a spectator sport. I have my opinions, but should I try to enact them by pulling a lever I’d probably [...]

Well, it’s official; The Writers will go on strike from early Monday after their negotiators recommended a walkout over royalties. A move that could shutter late-night TV shows immediately. The WGA vote was unanimous and the strike starts from 12:01 a.m. PT on Monday. The walkout will be the first [...] It’s not even Thanksgiving but Fox has just announced that 90% of their advertising real estate for next year’s Super Bowl is already sold out. The game doesn’t start for three months, yet less than ten, 30-second spots are left…At a mere $2.7m a piece. The Super Bowl attracts what is arguably the largest single [...] Look into the skies. Do you see flying saucers? Well, count yourself lucky. Almost seventy-years ago today, thousands of people across the country would probably have sworn they did. It was on this day in 1938 that the genius of Orson Welles and the magic of radio combined to both terrorize and transfix an [...] |
