Bill Paxton has been in so many classic films over the years, from “Aliens” to “Weird Science” to “Titanic,” that there’s no way an interview with him could be all-compassing without lasting for days on end, so when Bullz-Eye was granted the opportunity to chat with him in conjunction with the return of “Big Love” for its fourth season, we had already steeled ourselves to stick pretty much to the topic at hand. What we never imagined, however, was that the interview would start with an anecdote about “Navy SEALs,” end with a story about the video for Barnes and…

Although it’s possibly fair to say that Alan Thicke may never fully escape his performance as the patriarch of the Seaver family on “Growing Pains,” you won’t catch him saying a bad thing about the show. Indeed, during his chat with Bullz-Eye, he acknowledged without hesitation, “It gave me a life.” It did more than that: it made him into a pop culture icon of sorts, a lofty position which has allowed him to make regular appearances as himself on “How I Met Your Mother.” Plus, since he’s known both for playing a father and for being a father (one…

If there’s any question in your mind as to whether or not creativity is an inherited trait, then surely it takes only a glance at Brian Henson’s list of credits to know that he’s very much his father’s son. That father, of course, is the late Jim Henson, and both Brian and his sister Lisa have done a considerable amount to keep the Jim Henson Company alive, well, and very much a part of the lives of our children, including such series as “Bear in the Big Blue House,” “Sid the Science Kid,” and “Dinosaur Train.” For the adults, however,…

There was a time when Colm Meaney was known for his work as…well, let’s just say he was a Starfleet officer of some note and leave it at that. Besides, he’s had so many credits to his name since then that you almost certainly remember him for something else, anyway: “Con Air,” “The Commitments,” “Mystery, Alaska,” “Layer Cake,” and – most recently – “Law Abiding Citizen.” Once in awhile, though, Meaney still pops up on TV (“Law & Order,” “The Unit,” and even “The Simpsons”), and he’ll be doing so again when SyFy presents “Alice,” a modernization of Lewis Carroll’s…

We’re going to go on record right now and say that Jim Parsons got the shaft at this year’s Emmy Awards. Not that Alec Baldwin isn’t great as Jack Donaghy on “30 Rock,” but in the end, he’s just another guy in a suit. As Dr. Sheldon Cooper, however, Parsons has taken a character that could’ve been just another comic book nerd and transformed him into a comedic force to be reckoned with, and he and his co-stars – Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuouo, Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar – have made “The Big Bang Theory” one of the funniest shows…

Bill Lawrence has always been one the hardest working men in television, but these days he’s on the verge of running himself ragged: not only is his new series, “Cougar Town,” picking up steam, but his beloved “Scrubs” is returning for a new season. Yes, that’s right: it used to be that we were hearing a death knell for the series every time we turned around, and now we can’t seem to get rid of it. (Not that we want to see it go, you understand.) Despite Lawrence and his cohorts offering up what was seen at the time as…

Stephen Lang is having a heck of a good year. Not only did “Public Enemies” find him once again teaming up with his old buddy Michael Mann (the two worked together back in the day, on “Crime Story” and “Manhunter”), but he also picked up a plum role in “The Men Who Stare At Goats.” And how’s he going to be following those two solid gigs? By turning up in one of the most anticipated films of the year: James Cameron’s “Avatar.” Bullz-Eye had a chance to chat with Lang about some of the many roles he’s played in his…

When Bullz-Eye did its last TV Power Rankings in February 2009, the odds were barely hovering in the 50/50 range that we’d have the opportunity to write about “Chuck” again. Thankfully, however, NBC spared the series from cancellation – due in no small part to the folks at Subway (“Eat fresh!”) – and renewed the series for a third season, but even better news emerged a few weeks ago, when the network added another six episodes to the show’s order. Bullz-Eye had a chance to chat with Vik Sahay (Lester) about the saving of the show, his work on the…

Dante Hicks is not even supposed to be here today…but, then, if you’ve stopped by the Quickstop in Leonardo, New Jersey, you probably already know that; I mean, he’s telling everyone. Written and directed by Kevin Smith, “Clerks” is the story of Dante Hicks (Brian O’Halloran), a convenience store clerk whose life is at a virtual standstill. This, however, is not a new development; it hasn’t really gone anywhere since he graduated from high school. He hasn’t been to college, though his girlfriend, Veronica (Marilyn Ghigliotti), would prefer that he start. He just works at the Quickstop, plays hockey when…

If you’ve watched Bryan Cranston’s performance as Walter H. White on AMC’s “Breaking Bad” over the course of its first two seasons, then you know that the man is a phenomenal actor. What you are about to learn, however, is that he’s also a hell of an interview. Cranston chatted with Bullz-Eye in connection with the series’ appearance in the latest TV Power Rankings as one of the shows we’re most excited to see return in 2010, and in addition to taking a look back at the evolution of Walt over the course of Seasons 1 and 2, he also…
