  • For Immediate Release
    ‘HEALING HANDS’ CAST BIOS EDDIE CIBRIAN (Buddy Hoyt) – A versatile actor who continues to expand his career in television and film, Eddie Cibrian is fast becoming one of the leading young actors in the business today. Born and raised in California, Cibrian began his acting career at the age of 12, landing a Coca-Cola commercial on his very first audition. Following the success of that spot, Cibrian appeared in numerous other national commercials. Upon entering high school, Cibrian decided to put his acting career on hold to pursue his other passion: Sports. He excelled in every sport he competed in – football, baseball, soccer and volleyball – and graduated high school with several All-State honors. Cibrian continued his successful athletic career when he entered UCLA’s football program in the fall of 1991. Unfortunately, an injury during his first year on the team left Cibrian sidelined, so he decided to return to acting. Cibrian immediately landed several national commercials and soon after, starred in Malcolm- Jamal Warner’s Emmy® Award winning television special “Kids Killing Kids.” The attention Cibrian garnered for his appearance on Warner’s special led to several soap opera auditions, including one for “The Young and the Restless.” The show’s producers were impressed with Cibrian’s acting abilities and created a character for him on the show, that of the conniving Matt Clark. Within three months, Cibrian had received so much fan mail that CBS signed him to a three-year contract. After appearing on “The Young and the Restless” for two years, Cibrian starred in several television shows including “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “Baywatch Nights,” “Beverly Hills, 90210,” “Sabrina The Teenage Witch” and “Saved by the Bell: The College Years.” It was not long before Aaron Spelling offered Cibrian the starring role of Cole Deschanel on the NBC daytime drama, “Sunset Beach.” Just five months after his debut, TV Guide named Cibrian one of Daytime’s 12 Hottest Stars.

  • New on Video &
    New On Video & DVD Yes Man Jim Carrey returns to hilarious form with this romantic comedy in the same vein as the Carrey classic Liar Liar. After a few stints in more serious features like Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind and The Number 23, Carrey seems right at home playing Carl, a divorcé who starts out the film depressed and withdrawn, scared of taking a risk. Pressured by his best friend, Peter (Bradley Cooper), to get his act together or be stuck with a lonely life, Carl attends a New Age self-help seminar intended to change "no men" like Carl into "yes men" willing to meet life's challenges with gusto. Carl is reluctant at first, but finds the seminar to be ultimately life-changing when he's coerced into giving the "say yes" attitude a try. As the first opportunity to say yes presents itself, Carl hesitantly utters the three-letter word, setting the stage for a domino effect of good rewards, and giving Carrey a platform to show off his comic chops. But over time Carl realizes that saying yes to everything indiscriminately can reap results as complicated and messy as his life had become when saying "no" was his norm. The always-quirky Zooey Deschanel adds her signature charm as Carl's love interest, Allison. An unlikely match at first glance, the pair actually develop great chemistry as the story progresses, the actors play- ing off each other's different styles of humor. Rhys Darby also shines as Carl's loveable but clueless boss, and That 70s Show's Danny Masterson appears as another one of Carl's friends.

    Want to Know What J.R. and Sue Ellen Ewing Talked About Behind the Scenes of “Dallas”? Win Lunch with TV Star Linda Gray and Help Find a Cure for Alzheimer’s Disease SAN FRANCISCO (March 24, 2016) – Want to have a lunch you’ll never forget? On the 36th anniversary of J.R. being shot on TV’s “Dallas,” TV star Linda Gray (Sue Ellen Ewing) is offering new Brain Health Registry members a chance to win “Lunch with Linda.” The #GrayMatters contest, part of the actress’s ongoing effort to increase awareness for Alzheimer’s disease, encourages people to register for clinical trials and help find cures faster. The “Lunch with Linda” contest includes roundtrip airfare for two, ground transportation, hotel and lunch. For a chance to win, register by May 15, 2016 at http://join.brainhealthregistry.org/lunchwithlinda. #GrayMatters is part of a national outreach effort led by Global Alzheimer’s Platform Foundation to grow a registry of potential Alzheimer’s clinical trial candidates and accelerate a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease by 2025. Encouraging enrollment for clinical trials has been a major barrier in bringing promising medical treatments to the market, and more research is needed. Together with UC San Francisco’s Brain Health Registry, the national effort also includes support from major medical institutions across the country, including UCSF, researchers at Harvard Medical School, Emory University Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Cleveland Clinic’s Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, Neurostudies.net., and Brain Matters Research. Quote: “I lost my mother and a dear friend to Alzheimer’s disease and wanted to do something to help,” explained Linda Gray.

  • Protagonistas De Inolvidables Series Participan En El Documental “Pioneros De La Televisión”
    Protagonistas de inolvidables series participan en el documental “Pioneros de la televisión” Una atractiva y nostálgica propuesta documental llega a la TV de pago. Se trata de “Pioneros de la televisión”, investigación audiovisual que da cuenta de la influyente historia de las grandes series estadounidense de la pantalla chica. Nominado a dos Emmy, el trabajo audiovisual entremezcla valiosas entrevistas actuales y material de archivo inédito para contar y recordar las historias que marcaron algunos de los más llamativos géneros. En cuatro episodios, se relatan las experiencias profesionales de más de 200 actores que forman parte de series que siguen en la memoria de varias generaciones de espectadores. El estreno en América Latina es el martes 5 de septiembre, a las 21 horas, por Film & Arts. “Pioneros de la televisión” da a conocer relatos de figuras como Larry Hagman, William Shatner, Joan Collins y Richard Chamberlain, quienes formaron parte de una propuesta incipiente y proporcionaron un escape esencial para los millones de espectadores que esperaban ansiosos cada capítulo de su serie favorita. Episodio 1: Ciencia ficción Los seres humanos siempre han contemplado las estrellas con una cuota de fascinación y miedo. A principios de la década de 1960, una serie de innovadores novelistas, productores y actores empiezan a jugar con estas ideas en la pequeña pantalla con programas como Star Trek, Lost in Space y The Twilight Zone. A lo largo de este episodio William Shatner y Leonard Nimoy -Capitán James T. Kirk y Mr. Spock, respectivamente, en Star Trek- muestran una visión sorprendente de la icónica serie. Además de una entrevista inédita con Rod Serling, guionista de “La dimensión desconocida”, en que revela sus episodios favoritos de esta serie y su inocente opinión sobre Star Trek.

  • Dallas” in 2012 Ryan R
    Watching & Waiting: “Dallas” in 2012 Ryan R. Sanderson “Bullets don’t seem to have much of an effect on me darlin’,” the old man calmly mutters. Of course we the audience know just what he means. No matter how old he might be—in character and in years—it’s a pleasure to be able to say: J.R. Ewing is back! And he still has it. There’s nothing like sitting down in front of a television here in 2012 to watch a new program that quickly proves not-so-new upon hearing that grand, wonderful, unmistakable theme music. It’s almost like a trip back in time—almost perhaps, though not. The nostalgia factor is obvious, at least to those of us who know the characters and all that’s happened with them and to them over the past 30+ years. To see most of them alive and relatively well satisfies our initial curiosity. After all, we’re tuning in to get reacquainted with our all-time favorites and be caught up on where they’ve been and just where their lives have come. We—that is the aforementioned “those of us” with sharp memories who know what’s going on—are the reason for the “return” of the world-famous show. Ultimately, we’re the ones who must be satisfied in order for the program to be a success. This said, I ask: Why am I largely disappointed thus far in the new “Dallas”? It’s not all bad; some strong moments are beginning to come through.
