by Doc on Nov.02, 2012, under Television
Claudia Black (Stargate: SG1, Farscape) and Nolan North (Pretty Little Liars, Young Justice), stars of the critically-acclaimed Uncharted video game franchise, join fellow Uncharted co-star Emily Rose as guest stars on Syfy’s popular series Haven.
In Haven’s two part episode “Magic Hour,” airing Friday, November 2, and Friday, November 9 at 10PM (ET/PT), Black plays the role of Moira, a woman whose bitterness makes her capable of murder. In the episode, Audrey and Duke follow a lead to Colorado which results in a life-changing discovery, while Nathan and Tommy are forced to deal with the latest “trouble” on their own when they discover a murderer who has the ability to raise the dead.
In the Friday, December 6 at 10PM (ET/PT) episode, Audrey awakes one day only to discover that everyone in Haven, except the charismatic and witty Will (Nolan North), has fallen into a mysterious sleep with potentially deadly consequences.
In Uncharted, the three actors provide the voices of the action-adventure video games’ treasure hunter Nathan Drake (North) and his globe-trotting companions Elena Fischer (Rose) and Chloe Frazer (Black).

Ming-Na to star in Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D.
by Doc on Oct.24, 2012, under Television
Just announced a short time ago, actress Ming-Na (ER, Stargate Universe) will star in the upcoming Joss Whedon TV pilot Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D., based on the secret organization that permeates Marvel’s Avengers universe and featured prominently in the Whedon-directed movie The Avengers.
Ming-Na will play Agent Melinda May, described as “Soulful and slightly damaged by her combat experiences, Melinda is an ace pilot, a weapons expert and a soldier who can — and has — gone beyond the call of duty.” Originally the character was to be named Althea Rice, with the nickname “The Cavalry”, but this was confusing as that is also the name of a team of superheroes.
It was previously announced that Clark Gregg, who has appeared in all the Avenger-related movies as Agent Phil Coulson, will reprise the role in the pilot.

by Doc on Oct.22, 2012, under Television
