Before Rick Hearst played a lawyer on General Hospital, he needed on in Brain Damage. He looks the same now as he did when he was 22 in that 1988 movie.
For 10 years, we watched as friends and families set their loved ones up to be scared on the hidden camera prank show Scare Tactics.
For 11 years, everyone was safe. But not anymore. Because Jordan Peele is reviving the series for USA Network.
“What do you get when you combine Jordan Peele, hidden cameras, unsuspecting people and horror-movie scenarios? You’re about to find out!” said Toby Gorman, President, Universal Television Alternative Studio. “Working with Monkeypaw Productions, NBCU and USA Network to bring one of the most creatively scary and hilarious projects to life has been a phenomenal experience. We can’t wait for audiences to join in the fun of our first unscripted project with Jordan as it perfectly blends horror, humor and reality.”
I can’t wait to see what the man who gave us the most recent take of The Twilight Zone does with the program.
At the end of last season, Eamonn Walker announced that he was leaving Chicago Fire. And we were left wondering who will replace him.
Today, we found out that Dermot Mulroney has been cast to play Chief Dom Pascal.
Sources told Deadline that his character, “Dom Pascal began his career with the CFD but spent the last decade as a chief in Sunny Miami. Described as a cheerful person who works well under pressure, and whose leadership style differs from Boden’s, Pascal is estranged from his wife.”
I just hope that they don’t make him a bad guy. I am so over that storyline.
Chicago Fire’s 13th season premieres on September 25th.
General Hospital keeps getting some of our favorite stars to return to Port Charles. So far, John J. York and Jonathan Jackson have announced their returns, and now we are learning that Rick Hearst will reprise his role as Ric Lansing.
Hearst, who hasn’t been on the Soap Opera for 8 years, was not expecting the phone call. But casting director Mark Teschner reached out to the actor every way he could to get Lansing back.
Why now? He is there to support his daughter, Molly (Kristen Vaganos), with Alexis (Nancy Lee Graham).
Since he doesn’t watch the show like he used to, or at all, he told TV Insider, he has been doing his research. “I’ve been trying to catch up and see what’s happening and I see that there’s a situation where Kristina (Kate Mansi) is being a surrogate for Molly,” he said. “And while I don’t know what that turns into, I have a feeling there’s going to be some friction by virtue of the fact that one daughter is parented by Alexis and Sonny (Maurice Bernard), and the other daughter is parented by Alexis and Ric. That alone is enough to create a mad amount of drama of who’s going to side with who. And it’s going to be entertaining.”
Hearst begins filming on Monday, and his first appearance will be on August 19th.
