Adam Scott has spent his career doing a nice blend of television (from “Boy Meets World” and “Party of Five” up through last year’s “Tell Me You Love Me”) and movies (“High Crimes,” “Torque,” “The Aviator”), but it’s fair to say that he’s been focusing more on the latter recently. While his role in the Will Ferrell / John C. Reilly comedy, “Step Brothers,” is definitely the more high profile of his current flicks, the one that’s getting more critical acclaim is “August,” starring Josh Hartnett. We spoke with Scott about his experiences on the film, what it’s like to…

Whether you know him from playing Elliot on “Just Shoot Me,” Keith Mars on “Veronica Mars,” or Mathesar in “Galaxy Quest,” it’s a fair bet that you’ve gotten a laugh or two out of the work of Enrico Colantoni. Now, Colantoni is taking on a more serious role, playing Sgt. Gregory Parker in the new CBS drama, “Flashpoint.” Okay, the guy’s got a delivery that ensures a certain amount of laughs when he’s off duty, but when he’s working with his tactical team that rescues hostages, busts gangs, defuses bombs, and takes on other tough cases, he’s all business. We…

Whether it’s a blessing or a curse, Adam Carolla’s first leading-man role in a motion picture, “The Hammer,” is in no way what the average Adam Carolla fan would’ve expected from their hero. On the surface, it looks like it’s gonna be a boxing-themed comedy, but when you get right down to it, it’s really – gasp! — a romantic comedy. Bullz-Eye had the chance to speak to Carolla about the film, his various TV gigs over the years, and his radio show, but we were warned ahead of time that we shouldn’t place any bets on the exact time…

It requires a deft hand and a considerable amount of restraint to do a period piece. Those who can’t exercise self-control quickly fall back on the obvious, smacking the viewer in the face with punchlines about the differences between then and now that are underlined with the biggest, thickest marker possible. Matthew Weiner, the man behind “Mad Men,” understands this, choosing to integrate these differences in a truly organic fashion, weaving them into the storyline rather than blatantly drawing attention to them. The place is the Sterling Cooper advertising agency, and the time is the early 1960s, an era that…

After a six-season run on the USA Network, “The Dead Zone” finally gave up the ghost, but in that time, the series gave its star, Anthony Michael Hall, many an opportunity to stretch his dramatic chops. With the final season of the show emerging on DVD via the fine folks at Lionsgate, Bullz-Eye was given the opportunity to chat with Hall about his time on “The Dead Zone,” how he enjoyed working in the Great White North, and why he was accepting when the network gave the series its walking papers. We also asked him about a few flicks he…

There seem to be two general reactions when the name Eric Roberts is uttered: a recitation of how awesome he was in such-and-such a film, or a vague uncertainty as to why that name sounds so familiar, with the latter often accompanied by the inevitable question, “Isn’t he Julia Roberts’ brother?” He is, of course, but all you have to do is show someone Eric’s picture, and they immediately recognize him…and from there, they begin recalling his various films and television appearances, which are plentiful, to say the least. Bullz-Eye had a chance to speak with Mr. Roberts on the…

For a guy who spends most of his life talking either onstage or in front of a camera, comedian Mike Epps sure had precious little to say when he got on the phone with Bullz-Eye to chat about his work alongside Martin Lawrence in “Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins,” (on DVD June 17th). Although Epps provides the film with some of its most hilarious moments via his dialogue and his delivery, you can’t tell it from this conversation; his responses were so lacking in detail that, although we had a few more questions, we finally just decided to grab our parachute…

The writer’s strike really put a damper on a lot of people’s TV viewing, and one of the series that was profoundly affected was FX’s “Rescue Me,” which won’t find its 5th season premiere until early 2009. In the meantime, however, your favorite firefighters will be bridging the gap between Season Four – now out on DVD – and Season Five with a series of 5-minute “mini-sodes,” the first of which will first air on FX on June 24 at 10 p.m. If you forget to set your TiVo, however, you’ll still be able to catch them online via the…

David Morse is a familiar face no matter what your preferred genre of film. His first big break came via his role on “St. Elsewhere” as Dr. Jack Morrison, but film critics began to take notice of his abilities after teaming with Sean Penn for “The Crossing Guard” and “The Indian Runner,” while mainstream audiences came to appreciate him via performances in “Twelve Monkeys” and “The Rock.” Morse spends most of his time these days on the big screen, but in addition to a guest spot on “House” last year, he’s recently caught the eyes of TV viewers for his…

He earned his first fame as the frontman for the seminal punk band known as the New York Dolls, but even after the group disintegrated, David Johansen managed to keep his name amongst the general public. Sometimes it’s been as a solo recording artist, other times it’s been under the guise of the one and only Buster Poindexter (“Hot Hot Hot”), and once in awhile, when the mood has struck him, he’s tried his hand at being a thespian. Now, however, Johansen has come full circle, returning to the band that first brought him stardom. Bullz-Eye spoke with the head…
