Nate Torrence has been toiling away in Hollywood for quite a few years now, having done the commercial circuit (surely you remember the poignant performance he gave in his classic Golden Grahams spot), but his first significant break came in 2006, when he earned a spot amongst the all-star cast of NBC’s all-too-short-lived “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.” From there, Torrence managed to find himself several high-profile film roles, the most notable being Lloyd in “Get Smart” and, of course, “Get Smart’s Bruce and Lloyd Out of Control.” Bullz-Eye, however, talked to Torrence in conjunction with the DVD release…

Timothy Hutton’s success as a film actor was secured in 1980, when his very first film – “Ordinary People” – earned him the Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, but the process of transitioning to television is one that’s taken some time. He first made the jump to the small screen in 2001, playing Archie Goodwin in A&E’s series adaption of Rex Stout’s “Nero Wolfe” mysteries, but the show only lasted for 27 episodes; a few years later, he found himself part of the cast of NBC’s “Kidnapped,” which aired only three episodes before the axe fell. Fortunately,…

Given his dual roles of Nick Twisp and Francois Dillinger, there’s no question that Michael Cera is the star of “Youth in Revolt,” but the film – which, for the record, hits DVD on June 15 – surrounds him with a heck of an ensemble, one which includes Zach Galifianakis, Justin Long, Steve Buscemi, Portia Doubleday, Ray Liotta, M. Emmet Walsh, Fred Willard, and, as Nick’s mother, Jean Smart. Bullz-Eye was provided with the opportunity to chat with Ms. Smart, and we jumped at it, making sure to ask her not only about her most famous sitcoms (“Designing Women,” “Samantha…

When an actress takes on the role of a wife in a TV series where the thrust is on the husband, it’s always a crap shoot as to whether or not her character is ever going to get developed to her satisfaction. Anna Gunn, however, didn’t take any chances with “Breaking Bad.” Armed with the knowledge that the show would require her to work away from home for an extended period of time, she laid it on the line with series creator Vince Gilligan and basically said, “If this character isn’t going to be worth my time, then I’m not…

Robert Klein holds the honor of having starred in the very first comedy special ever done for HBO, way back in 1975, and he’s been a regular staple of the network ever since. His latest stand-up effort, “Unfair & Unbalanced,” premieres on June 12, and in the midst of a flurry of press to promote the show, Klein was able to take the time to chat with Bullz-Eye, discussing the part music has played in his performances over the years, the bad advice he gave Lorne Michaels in the mid-1970s, and the reason why he keeps getting cast as an…

It still seems a bit weird to write Steve Austin’s name without prefacing it with the words “Stone Cold,” but let’s just pretend that it’s a silent “Stone Cold” these days. After all, the man has done his time and endured plenty of damage to his body while in the ring. Doesn’t he deserve to be able to leave wrestling behind and pursue a new career? And if he doesn’t…well, look, if you want to be the one who tells him that, then you go right ahead. Here at Bullz-Eye, we’re a little intimidated by the guy, frankly, which is…

Robert Davi’s resume on IMDb stretches back to the mid-1970s, including appearances in films ranging from “The Goonies” and “Die Hard” to “The Hot Chick” and “Showgirls,” along with a lengthy stint as Agent Bailey Malone on NBC’s “Profiler.” In addition to acting, however, Davi also has a background in singing, and he was able to utilize both of those abilities in “The Dukes,” a film which also provided him with the opportunity to make his directorial debut. Bullz-Eye had the chance to chat with Davi in conjunction with the release of “The Dukes” on DVD, and in addition to…

As long as there is a Hollywood, creative properties will continue to be recycled and revisited on a regular basis in order to keep them fresh for the next generation. So it always has been, so it ever shall be. Something has gone terribly wrong in the machine, however, if we have reached a point where we can no longer become excited about a new adventure of one of the greatest heroes in English folklore. The tale is one which even the average grade school student knows by heart – Robin Hood and his Merry Men live in Sherwood Forest,…

You’ve probably heard the phrase “actor’s director,” used to describe a director who, by virtue of having started their career in front of the camera, is able to better to get actors to give them the performances that they’re looking for. Paul Provenza, then, could be described as a comedian’s interviewer: he’s done his time on the stand-up circuit (and, indeed, still continues to rack up the hours on a regular basis), and, as a result, he’s able to get a lot of funny people to open up when he talks to them. This ability is proven time and time…

Director Neil Jordan has helmed high profile films ( “Interview with the Vampire”) and low profile films (“Breakfast on Pluto”), delving into historical epics (“Michael Collins”) and light comedies (“We’re No Angels”) and everything in between. Most recently, however, he’s taken the eye of the camera and turned it on his native Ireland for “Ondine,” a motion picture which stars Colin Farrell and often feels like the middle ground between fairy tales and reality. Bullz-Eye had a chance to chat with Jordan about his work on the film, but we also found the time to chat about everyone from Anne…
