On “Nip/Tuck,” Gilsig portrayed feisty Gina Russo to Julian McMahon’s slick Dr. Troy. The show garnered Gilsig impressive reviews, enough to garner her additional stand-out recurring roles on NBC’s hit dramas “Heroes” as the cheerleader’s mother, on “Friday Night Lights” and, more recently, on “CSI: NY.” Next on the horizon is the indie film “Somewhere Slow,” in which she served double duty as star and producer. No stranger to acclaimed programming, Gilsig is also known for her role as strong-willed Social Studies teacher Lauren Davis on “Boston Public,” a role that creator David E.

Ferris is best known for her recurring leading roles in sci-fi shows such as “Supernatural,” “V,” “The 4400,” “Stargate SG1” and “Battlestar Galactica.” However, this is just a fraction of her television appearances as she has guest starred in such television productions as “Human Target,” “The Chris Isaak Show,” “Smallville” and “Reunion.” On the big screen, Ferris made a strong impact for her performance in the Sundance Festival hit thriller “Grace” and held a standout performance in Showtime’s highly acclaimed feature “The Ranch.” Other films include “Shattered,” “Grey Matters” and “The Killing Machine” with Dolph Lundgren.

  • Why the Inimitable Sarah Paulson Is the Future Of
    he won an Emmy, SAG Award and Golden Globe for her bravura performance as Marcia Clark in last year’s FX miniseries, The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, but it took Sarah Paulson almost another year to confirm what the TV industry really thinks about her acting chops. Earlier this year, her longtime collaborator and O.J. executive producer Ryan Murphy offered the actress the lead in Ratched, an origin story he is executive producing that focuses on Nurse Ratched, the Siconic, sadistic nurse from the 1975 film One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Murphy shopped the project around to networks, offering a package for the first time that included his frequent muse Paulson attached as star and producer. “That was very exciting and also very scary, because I thought, oh God, what if they take this out, and people are like, ‘No thanks, we’re good. We don’t need a Sarah Paulson show,’” says Paulson. “Thankfully, it all worked out very well.” In the wake of last year’s most acclaimed TV performance, everyone—TV networks and movie studios alike—wants to be in business with Paulson. Ratched sparked a high-stakes bidding war, with Netflix ultimately fending off suitors like Hulu and Apple (which is developing an original TV series strategy) for the project last month, giving the drama a hefty Why the inimitable two-season commitment. And that is only one of three high- profile TV series that Paulson will film over the next year. In Sarah Paulson is the 2018, she’ll begin production on Katrina, the third installment in Murphy’s American Crime Story anthology series for FX, and continue on the other Murphy FX anthology hit that future of TV.

  • FX's John Landgraf Worries About 'Narrative Exhaustion'
    FX's John Landgraf Worries About 'Narrative Exhaustion' 08.03.2018 FX boss John Landgraf is the executive everyone waits to hear at the Television Critics Association semi-annual press tour, having coined the term "peak TV" in 2015. On Friday, however, he conceded that peak TV was still a long way from peaking. So far this year, 319 scripted series have premiered on linear and streaming television, reports FX research. That's up 5 percent compared to the same last year. Streaming services are offering 46 percent more scripted series, while premium cable is offering 42 percent more. Basic cable and broadcast are both down at 11 percent and 5 percent, respectively. All of that is resulting in what writer/director Paul Schrader called in 2009 "narrative exhaustion." "Profusion of stories is very good if you want to talk about innovation and diversity," said Landgraf. "But … it's very hard if you're talking about trying to surprise the audience and delight the audience." RELATED: Winter TCA 2018: How FX Fits Into Planned Disney Acquisition Still, Landgraf does not expect this frenzy of production to slow down anytime soon, especially with deals like Disney's pending acquisition of Fox and AT&T's recently concluded acquisition of Time Warner happening specifically to combat Silicon Valley giants such as Facebook and Apple, not to mention Netflix's annual $8 billion programming budget. Under Landgraf, FX has been an auteur-focused brand, working with such creators as Noah Hawley, Ryan Murphy, Donald Glover, Pamela Adlon and Louis CK. FX also has responded to calls from critics for more diversity both behind and in front of the camera.
