Your frame of reference to Julie Benz depends greatly on your viewing habits. For instance, if you’re a fan of vampire-themed dramas, you probably recognize her from her stint as Darla on “Angel” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” (If you’re a guy, you also probably remember the Catholic schoolgirl outfit she wore in her initial appearances on “Buffy.” Yowza!) If you prefer your dramas to focus on the more mainstream serial killers, then you likely know Benz from her gig on “Dexter.” If you enjoy a good blood ‘n’ guts war picture, however, it’s a stone-cold certainty that you caught…

You first came to love him as the one in Penn & Teller who talks (and, boy, is that putting it mildly), but Penn Jillette has gradually been expanding his repertoire to include more than a few other projects, from voiceover work to a radio show, from hosting a game show to performing on “Dancing with the Stars.” When “Penn Radio” went off the air, however, fans were disappointed at no longer being able to hear Jillette speak his mind on a regular basis, but that problem has been remedied with “Penn Says,” a channel on Crackle.com’s “The C-Spot.” Bullz-Eye…

One has to presume that it’s sometimes rough being Clint Howard. Not from a career standpoint, certainly, given what a well-established character actor he is, but simply because he often falls into the dreaded category of being “That Guy Who Was In That Show” or “That Guy Who Was In That Movie.” Alternatively, he’s frequently identified as “Ron Howard’s brother,” and nobody really likes to be identified by their connection to someone else, rather than for their own work. As it happens, though, Clint Howard seems pretty darned comfortable in whatever shoes you’d care to put him in, declaring Ron…

Seeing the above photo, you’ve no doubt just had an epiphany and said, “Oh, that’s Larry Miller! I totally know that guy!” It’s almost impossible to turn your TV dial and not find a show or a film that Miller’s been in, whether it’s his work as part of Christopher Guest’s repertoire of players, his turn in both of Eddie Murphy’s “Nutty Professor” movies, or his stints on “Mad About You” or “8 Simple Rules.” The guy’s all over the place…so much so, in fact, that we had to twice reschedule our conversation because of the number of gigs on…

When “The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles” premiered on ABC in 1992, the young gentleman playing the teenaged version of the character was stepping into some pretty famous shoes, but Sean Patrick Flanery was up to the challenge. Since then, Flanery has rarely been out of the public eye, popping up on various TV series (including a recurring role as Greg Stilson on “The Dead Zone”) and earning major plaudits for his film work in “Powder,” “Suicide Kings,” and “Boondock Saints.” Bullz-Eye spoke with Flanery about his various roles, why he prefers character work over leading-man roles, and whether or not…

TJ Miller had a very good 2007. Not only did get he get a role within the ensemble cast of an ABC sitcom (“Carpoolers”), but he also found himself playing a key role within a film which would become one of the biggest cinematic events of the early months of 2008: “Cloverfield.” We spoke to Mr. Miller about his experiences both in front of and behind the camera as Hud in “Cloverfield,” chatted about the chances of “Carpoolers” making it back to ABC’s schedule in the fall, and – oddly enough – veered the conversation into a discussion about porn.…

Can you feel it? Can you feel the excitement surrounding the release of Al Pacino’s new thriller, “88 Minutes”? You can’t? Hmmm. Must be because there isn’t any. Certainly the most significant reason for that muted enthusiasm is the fact that the motion picture in question actually wrapped back in December 2005, then sat in the vault for more than a year before getting overseas distribution in 2007. Though not a hard and fast rule, it’s generally accepted that when a film which takes place in America and stars American actors is first dumped on an overseas market, it means…

He used to just be the guy in Public Enemy who wore the big-ass clock around his neck, but now he’s a full-fledged media superstar. Flavor Flav is pretty much the only reason VH-1 is still in business, and now he’s setting his sights on MyNetworkTV, where he’s preparing to debut his new sitcom, “Under One Roof.” We talked to Flav about his new show, his status in Public Enemy, what he thought about the controversy over his “Strange Love” series, and just what he thought about Duran Duran covering “911 Is A Joke.” Bullz-Eye: Whassup, Flav? Flavor Flav: Yo,…

If the woman in the above picture looks familiar, yet you can’t quite pin down where you’ve seen her, maybe this question will help you narrow it down: are you a regular viewer of NBC’s hit Howie-Mandel-hosted game show, “Deal or No Deal?” You are? Well, that’d explain it, then: Kelly Brannigan is one of the show’s models. She also branched out from the comforts of NBC to appear on a certain Brady-centric reality show on VH-1. After doing an exclusive photoshoot for Bullz-Eye (you’ll see some of the resulting photos below), the lovely Ms. Brannigan agreed to chat with…

Pauly Shore is one of those love-‘em-or-hate-‘em comedians, but those who love him can’t get enough of him, which is why Shore was able to transfer the fame he achieved as an MTV VJ into a motion-picture career. Television hasn’t always been as kind to Shore, but his recent Showtime special, “Natural Born Komics,” inspired quite a few belly laughs from his fanbase, as it will no doubt continue to do now that it’s been released on DVD. Bullz-Eye had a chance to speak to Shore recently, where we discussed “Komics” at length (or as much length as a 10-minute…
