Now as Charlotte on “Lucifer,” and previously in “Battlestar Galactica” and “Ascension,” you’ve built a reputation as a fantasy-drama staple. Have you always been a fan of the genre? I actually grew up without a television and saw very few movies, so I’m a little bit ignorant when it comes to a lot of pop culture and television shows and so forth. But growing up, what I did see were the “Star Treks” and “.” Those were the ones that we would actually make the trek, the long trek to the movie theater to go see. I think it’s an exciting genre and a genre that you can have a lot of wonderment and “What if?” You can pose questions about humanity and about survival and everything like that, but also have fun doing it.

So, you never saw television when you were young? I grew up on a farm, and we had to work. So, we were out fixing farm machinery and driving tractors ... although, they did get a TV when my older sister started dating and the thing to do was go to watch movies at people’s houses, so movie night could be at our .

How have you found being on “Lucifer” so far? Joining the cast has been an incredible experience – a wonderful cast and crew, and a really fun character. (Charlotte’s nature is) revealed very quickly in the episodes, and it certainly adds a comedic element. But also, it’s a challenge for me in the way of going, “OK, here’s my sons,” and looking them in the eye. There’s a lot of miscommunication between mother and sons, on both sides, and each parent has their own relationship with each child. My relationship with Amenadiel (played by DB Woodside) is different than my relationship with Lucifer (Tom Ellis), so finding that common ground and finding how to be their motherly figure with all that’s going on and in their thousands of years of history, it’s been a lot of fun. She’s a layered character. FOLIO Click on icon for more!

How did you approach your role in “Chance” as a neuropsychiatrist who feels he’s failed at his profession? My father was a doctor, a general practitioner ... and I remember very clearly, at Christmas or at various times of the year, there would be gifts from grateful patients. Someone would knit him a pair of socks or there would be a bottle of wine (with a note such as,) “Dear Doctor: Thank you for lancing my boil,” or whatever it was. He did things and he made people’s lives better, and people expressed gratitude for that. In preparation for “Chance,” I spent some time with a neuropsychiatrist in , and I asked him whether he kept in touch with patients, whether he got Christmas cards. And he said, “Absolutely not. Because the truth is, I don’t heal anybody. The best I can do is manage incredibly damaged people. My job is about trying to find the least bad option, and that’s the best I can hope for. And nobody leaves my office turning cartwheels, saying, ‘Thank God, I’m cured.’ It doesn’t happen.”

Do you prefer the streaming-series model of fewer episodes per season than what broadcast television requires, which you know from “House”? Yes, I suppose so. I mean, it’s a pretty grueling undertaking trying to do 24. In fact, fewer and fewer people are actually doing it, certainly with a small cast. It’s possibly something you can contemplate when you’ve got a larger cast; you have more elements to shuffle around. But I was just intrigued by the notion of just telling a single story from A to Z in these 10 episodes. Generally speaking, the older form of television was about the central characters kind of remaining the same while the surrounding characters change, as opposed to film where central characters transform. But in this, we are doing something rather different, I think. We are seeing – or should be seeing, if we get it right – a genuine and rather profound transformation of a number of characters who are unrecognizable at the end from where they started. That’s more to do with (the content), I think, than the volume of what we are doing. Click on icon for more!

Page 6 YOUR TV LINK Courtesy of Gracenote October 16 - 22, 2016 FOOD GEORGE DICKIE’S WHAT'S FOR DINNER HART has a good time drinking and cooking on ‘My Drunk Kitchen’

Hannah Hart, host of the YouTube hit “My Drunk Kitchen,” readily admits she’s not a chef, she’s not much of a drinker and the recipes she prepares on the show, well, they’re probably not hers.

But that’s not the point of the series, which has taken upward of 9 million views since she made her first show on a lark in March 2011. The idea, the 29-year-old, comic, actress, author and web personality says, is to have fun in and bring the viewer along for the ride. Click on icon for more! “In the house party of life, I always find myself in the kitchen,” Hart explains. “It’s the room I feel most comfortable in and I like being in the kitchen, especially if you’re at a house party and everybody is drinking and dancing and you want some quiet time and you just want to like talk to somebody and have a conversation without shouting. Usually in the kitchen is where you find it.”

A typical “Drunk Kitchen” episode runs five to seven minutes and captures Hart in the kitchen of her -area apartment, preparing dishes ranging from crepes, beer brats and deviled eggs to sriracha chicken, eggplant parmesan and even a turkey. She shoots the videos alone – no camera or lights people required – and her talk to the camera is pure improv. Each video, she says, usually takes one hour to shoot and four to edit.

Occasionally a friend will stop by and Hart may press them into duty, on or off screen. There also will be the odd celebrity guest, which in the past have included Sarah Silverman, Mary-Louise Parker, Lance Bass, Jamie Oliver and, this past summer, Seth Rogen, with whom she did a sausage party to promote his movie “Sausage Party.”

And then of course, there is the drinking. Hart admits an affinity for single malt scotch but on camera her beverage of choice is wine or a soda. In her videos, Hart appears a bit tipsy and silly but certainly not out-of-control drunk.

“I like to say about ‘My Drunk Kitchen’ I’m always exactly as drunk as I seem,” she says, “and so there are some episodes where I was like, ‘hotchy motchy!’ and there are some episodes where like I’m just having a good time. I’m a lightweight so it really doesn’t take much.”

What book are you currently What did What is When was your last vacation, where reading? you have for your next and why? “My answer is twofold. I just dinner last project? finished reading the final draft of night? “It’s hard to say ‘vacation.’ I took a my second book.

In fact, she embraced the role.

“I’ve known Matthew (Perry, her co-star and the series’ executive producer) for years and he actually wrote this part for me, which I was so flattered,” the Long Island- born, Southern -raised Sloane says. “And then I read it and realized that Matthew thinks that I’m a crazy person.

“But look, I think that the beauty of Emily is that she always kind of looks at the brighter side of life and I’m not necessarily that way all the time,” she continues. “And she’s crazy and neurotic but she is always positive and always hopeful and always kind of loving, which is something that I really admire about her.”

“The Odd Couple,” which opens its third season Monday, Oct. 17, is just the latest in a long line of TV roles for the 39-year-old Sloane, who at 14 landed her first recurring role as Kevin’s unhinged love interest in “The Wonder Years,” then moved on to regular or recurring work in such series as “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch,” “Mr. Rhodes,” “That ‘70s Show,” “Grosse Pointe,” “Weeds” and “Playing House.” She’s worked regularly for the last 25 years and is proud she never had to take a job her wasn’t into. And she owes it all to “The Wonder Years.”

“It really set the bar very high for when I started ...,” Sloane says. “But I really tried to maintain that I only do jobs that I love, whether it’s because someone is involved that I love or I love the character or I love the script. I really don’t ever want to be in a position in life where I have to take something just because I need to work or I’m desperate because of that. Because when you do experience something so perfect as ‘The Wonder Years,’ you live your life trying to strive for that the rest of your career.” Click on icon for more!

Sunday on National Geographic Channel BY GEORGE DICKIE At first glance, Infinite Energy Center in suburban Atlanta would seem an unlikely filming location for a presidential debate scene. But turn the lights down in a conference room filled with production equipment and up on a podium sporting a presidential seal and no one would be any the wiser.

It’s a hot early June afternoon in North Georgia, where a production crew is busy filming several scenes for National Geographic Channel’s “Killing Reagan.” The two-hour telepic, which premieres Sunday, Oct. 16, is based on the book by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard, that follows the events leading up to the 1981 attempt on the life of President Ronald Reagan by John Hinckley Jr.

One is that of Reagan, played in the film by Tim Matheson make a convincing (“The West Wing,” “Animal House”), the former California governor who first couple in rides voter disenchantment with a foundering economy to an easy victory over Jimmy Carter in the NatGeo’s 1980 election. The other is Hinckley’s (Kyle S.

On this day, Matheson is at the podium filming a soliloquy delivered by Reagan during his famous Oct. 1980 debate with Carter, with Reagan’s actual words played to him through an earpiece. The 68-year- old actor is a stickler for detail, stopping the filming numerous times to get Reagan’s cadence, inflections and pauses down to a tee. Sporting a slicked shell of and a dark blue suit, he certainly looks and sounds the part. But he’s also very wary of coming off as someone doing a Reagan impression.

“That’s the danger ...,” he says. “I think the trap is to try and do a mimic of the great speeches and things and not to find the rhythm and the inner thing because nobody’s looking at both of them. (Viewers are) going to be looking at whatever we do and they’re going to go, ‘Is that how it was?’ And then you go and look, ‘Oh, it’s a little slower. He didn’t quite say that word, he said this word.’ You know, I got a couple of words transposed.”

“But I think the most important thing,” Matheson continues, “was to try and find the inner core of what his beliefs were because he had very strong principles about what he believes politically and personally and emotionally. So I was looking just for the inner sort of course that he was taking and then let the outside just take care of itself.”

The attempt on Reagan’s life had a profound effect on his wife Nancy, played here by former “” co-star Cynthia Nixon. In the early days of his presidency, says the 50-year-old actress, Reagan was the subject of much criticism and Nancy felt that they were somewhat under siege and not safe, a belief further exacerbated by the shooting.

“She worries that they aren’t being protected better,” Nixon says, “that they’re kind of under attack from people and I’m supposed to trust them but there are too all of these angles.

Actually, in this case, “adaptation” may be stretching the truth a little, so to address the kitten-shark in the room: Adams purists will discover that, apart from Dirk Gently (Samuel Barnett) himself, this new TV series from screenwriter Max Landis (“Chronicle”) features almost entirely new characters and story lines that take place in the Pacific Northwest.

“This has really been a concern of mine, obviously, that for anyone who knows Douglas Adams’ work and is a fan of the books, they might be, um, surprised, put off even, by what has been done with them,” Barnett (“Penny Dreadful”) confesses. “For me, I adored the books when I read them, but then I read the scripts and realized, ‘You know what?

BY DAN LADD

If the name and number look familiar when a big, fast defensive end lines up for the Ohio State Buckeyes, it’s not déjà vu. What you’re seeing is true freshman Nick Bosa who is on his way to filling his older brother, Joey Bosa’s, shoes in Columbus. Nick and the Buckeyes visit Penn State Saturday, Oct. 22, on ABC.

A top recruit out of St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Florida, the younger Bosa committed to Ohio State in 2015 while his brother – a two-time All-American and Big Ten defensive lineman of the year, and third pick in the 2016 NFL draft – was still with the team. Football is in the Bosa family blood. John Bosa, Nick and Joey’s father, played three seasons for the Miami Dolphins GROOMING and their uncle, Erik Kumerow, was a Buckeye standout who also played for the Dolphins. Cheryl Kumerow Bosa, their mother, is ANOTHER an Ohio State alumni, too. For Nick, that’s all history. He’s now on a team loaded with young talent that is already making headway and headlines. He recorded his first sack in his first game against Bowling Green and by Week 3 was part of a three- man rotation that kept pressure on Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield in Ohio State’s route of the Sooners. Should the Buckeye’s continue to progress there’s no doubt Nick will play a role. For now, he and the Buc’s are part of the discussion of teams that could potentially qualify for the college football NICHOLASBOSA playoff.
