Katie Leclerc (Switched at Birth) and Ryan Carnes (General Hospital) have wrapped the Door County, Wisconsin shoot for A Cherry Pie Christmas (wt), a new holiday indie written and directed by John Stimpson of H9 Films.

Pic tells the story of an ambitious pastry chef who returns to her small-town roots in Door County, and, over the holidays, needs to decide between her career dreams and her family’s struggling orchard business. The project reunites Stimpson and Leclerc following their work together on several other recent holiday romantic comedies, including A Very Vermont Christmas, Letters to Santa, and A Cape Cod Christmas.

Producers include Mark Donadio and Miriam Marcus of Moody Independent, as well as Staci Griesbach, a Wisconsin native, and Leclerc. Destination Door County, Travel Wisconsin, Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin, and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation were all cited as key supporters of the production.

Back in the 20th century, it was very common to see a stand-up comic enter the Hollywood pipeline by starring in their own sitcom based on their acts. Comedians like Bob Newhart, Martin Lawrence, and Roseanne Barr went from performing on small stages around the country to appearing in basically every living room in America thanks to the miracle of television. But when it came to the Latino community, there was a clear lack of representation. That is, until George Lopez arrived on the scene in 2002 with "The George Lopez Show."

Created by Lopez, "The Drew Carey Show" creator Bruce Helford, and "Roseanne" writer Robert Borden,"George Lopez" premiered on March 27, 2002, after the Los Angeles native had tried to make a TV show happen since the early 1990s. He finally achieved his goal when he met Sandra Bullock backstage after a performance at the Brea Improv Comedy Club in 2000. With the award-winning actress' help,...

The Academy Awards have celebrated the talents of the film industry for over 96 years, honoring outstanding performances and achievements. Many celebrities dream of winning an Oscar once they come into the Hollywood scene, and a lot of them do achieve it.

Some secure it at a very young age while others get the chance to hold the coveted trophy much later in their careers.

So, let’s look at some child prodigies and veterans who have achieved this incredible feat at an age that will leave you in shock.

February 24 marked the first anniversary of Star Trek: Discovery actor Kenneth Mitchell’s death following five years of living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Als), commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Mitchell, post-diagnosis, made the most of every moment as a husband, father, friend, and actor, and it’s well worth taking a look back at what he accomplished during his 49 years on Earth.

Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Mitchell initially gained traction as a model before shifting to acting. He amassed nearly 50 film and television credits before his death. Among those credits were the movies Miracle and Captain Marvel, recurring or series regular roles on Odyssey 5, Jericho, Ghost Whisperer, Switched at Birth, The Astronaut Wives Club, Frequency, Nancy Drew, and The Old Man, as well as numerous guest shots. He was, of course, best known for portraying the Klingon characters Kol, Kol-Sha, and Tenavik, as well as Aurellio,...

For fans of The Devil Wears Pradaand the '80s cult classic Pretty in Pink, the fast-lived Jane by Design is like its third spiritual sister. Debuting on ABC Family in 2012, it ran for one short season and was vastly underrated in its wholesome coming-of-age story and passion for the fashion world. Arriving during the network's heyday, with a spotlight on teen hits like Pretty Little Liars and Switched at Birth, it fell through the cracks.

With roles like Rocky Balboa and Rambo, Sylvester Stallone has received many accolades. Stallone is one of the most profitable action stars with many other critically acclaimed films, but his recent project was not as successful.

His new movie is Alarum, an action film directed by Michael Polish with a script by Alexander Vesha. Alarum follows two rogue spies who escaped to get married, but several intelligence agencies hunt them to find a stolen hard drive. The action film was released straight to VOD and has debuted with a rare rating on Rotten Tomatoes: an abysmal 0% out of 14 reviews. The audience score is not yet available, as there are less than 50 reviews at the time of publishing.

Fans eager to return to the fictional town of Tree Hill, North Carolina got a bit of a surprise last year when it was revealed that a One Tree Hill reboot was in the works at Netflix. However, don't get your hopes up just yet, as nothing has been made official according to star Hilarie Burton. That being said, she does feel "confident" that the streaming service will be happy with what she and fellow co-star Sophia Bush are putting together, enough for them to want to give the pair the go ahead to move the reboot into production.

Back to the Future star Lea Thompson didn't warm quickly to co-star Michael J. Fox. Although Fox's name is synonymous with Marty McFly, there was a different actor portraying the iconic character when shooting for the film began. Although Fox was the first choice for Marty McFly his Family Ties schedule restricted him from starring in the movie, so Eric Stoltz was cast in the lead role. As production moved forward, director Robert Zemeckis just did not think he was the right fit for the part, and with Fox's Family Ties schedule reworked, Stoltz exited the movie, and Fox officially joined.

This shift caused some apprehension in Thompson, who portrayed the teenage version of Lorraine Baines, the character that grows up to be Marty's mother. During a recent appearance on the Still Here Hollywood podcast, host Steve Kmetko asked the Caroline in the City actress if she and Fox had...

Back to the Future star Lea Thompson reflected on her time participating in Dancing With the Stars with pro dance partner Artem Chigvintsev, whom she described as “intense,” alluding to the disrespectful way he would speak to her.

“It was hard working with him because it was his first year and it was a big deal to him,” Thompson told Cheryl Burke on the Sept. 8 episode of her iHeart podcast Sex, Lies and Spray Tans. “He was so intense. It was so much more important to him than to me, honestly. And so that made me really nervous, it made me crazy after a while.”

Thompson, who took ballet as a child, starred in Season 19 of the long-running ABC-turned-Disney+ competition series, at which point pro dancer Burke had left, prior to eventually returning in later seasons. During the conversation, the two discussed the Hunger Games-like qualities of the show and Chigvintsev’s arrest.

Hallmark Channel to adapt The Chicken Sisters as a series

Hallmark Channel has had much success with its original series, including When Calls the Heart, The Way Home, and more. Now, a brand new series is heading to the feel-good channel, based on the 2020 novel “The Chicken Sisters,” written by K.J.

Dell’Antonia. Starring Schuyler Fisk, Genevieve Angelson, Lea Thompson, and Wendie Malick. Meanwhile, Annie Mebane is the showrunner of the series and executive producer of the eight episodes.

New Hallmark Channel series The Chicken Sisters

The Chicken Sisters is a family drama, set in the fictional town of Merinac. Here, a generations-old rift continues between two fried chicken restaurants, Mimi’s and Frannie’s.

This has left the founders’ families fractured, while locals in the town started taking sides. However, when a popular cooking show comes to town, things get even more complicated as sparks begin to fly and secrets are uncovered.

Audiences of all ages adore cozy mysteries.

Within the genre, Hallmark mysteries have reigned supreme for years.

The question is which Hallmark mystery movie franchises are the best.

The best cozies contain idyllic settings, well-established characters, and elements of romance and humor. They also need staying power, which is why the multi-movie series are usually the most popular.

With those points in mind, here's how several of them compare.

11. Martha's Vineyard Mysteries (2020–2021)

Jesse Metcalfe plays Jeff Jackson, a medically retired police detective living in the picturesque setting of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. He solves crimes with the help of a doctor and medical examiner, played by Sarah Lind.

This is one of the worst Hallmark mystery franchises in terms of believability. Characters repeatedly get away with things real-life doctors and cops could not do, such as freely sharing confidential information with multiple other characters.

Another problem is the overarching storyline of...

Austin Butler's career skyrocketed after his role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, leading to major film opportunities and critical acclaim. Butler continued his success with roles in Elvis and Dune: Part Two, receiving high praise and impressive Rotten Tomatoes scores. His upcoming film, The Bikeriders, alongside Tom Hardy, is expected to maintain his winning streak with an early 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Austin Butler’s casting in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood greatly transformed his career, setting him on a path that has only seen him grow as a versatile actor and movie star. Austin Butler got his start in the business on TV, having memorable appearances throughout the 2000s and early 2010s on shows like Zoey 101, Switched at Birth, and The Carrie Diaries. However, it wasn’t until Quentin Tarantino cast him in 2019’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood that Butler got his big break.

Exclusive: Actor Tiago Roberts has signed with Gm Management for representation.

Roberts most recently can be seen portraying Gabriel Ibarra in the Paramount + series Fatal Attraction, opposite Joshua Jackson and Lizzy Caplan. He also recently played a supporting role opposite Eddie Murphy in holiday movie Candy Cane Lane on Prime Video, as well as a supporting lead role in Lionsgate’s Righteous Thieves, starring Cam Giganet.

Roberts also appeared in guest-starring roles on ABC’s The Rookie, starring Nathan Fillion, and in CBS’ S.W.A.T. opposite Shemar Moore. Recently, Roberts served as a producer on Shudder’s What Josiah Saw, starring Robert Patrick.

Roberts’ other credits include ABC’s Switched at Birth, CBS’ Scorpion, NBC’s A.P. Bio, Fox’s Lethal Weapon, and Starz’s Blindspotting.

He continues to be repped by First Class Talent Agency and Miloknay Weiner.

With his talent drawing comparisons to the great late actor, Heath Ledger, ahead of the Dune: Part Two release, Austin Butler, 32, is making a name for himself in Hollywood rather quickly. While being compared to such an iconic actor is undoubtedly flattering, it can also be a double-edged sword, especially when those comparisons are made before a film even hits theaters.

Early reviews of Dune 2 have begun to circulate, with some critics boldly claiming that the film is as good as The Dark Knight, which is widely regarded as one of the greatest superhero films of all time. Not only that, but the director of the Christian Bale-starring film, to which the upcoming Denis Villeneuve-helmed epic is being compared, has lavished even greater praise on it.

Austin Butler recently made headlines for comments about his intense method acting approach while portraying Elvis Presley in the 2022 biopic film Elvis. While promoting his new villain role as Feyd-Rautha in Dune: Part Two, Butler discussed toning down the method of acting this time. When discussing his acting approach for Dune: Part Two, Butler explained that he set clear boundaries this time around to avoid losing himself entirely in the role. He made a deliberate decision to protect the well-being of those around him between takes, recognizing that extreme method acting can negatively impact family, friends, and colleagues off-set.

Apple TV+ series “Masters of the Air” is the third collaboration from the team behind HBO’s “Band of Brothers” and “The Pacific.” Trio Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman and Steven Spielberg produced the nine-part World War II epic series, which spotlights the men who fought in the 8th Air Force, specifically the men of the 100th Bomb Group. The vivid and vital story finds roots in the book of the same name by Donald L. Miller.

The crew of a typical Eighth Air Force heavy bomber plane included ten men — a pilot and his co-pilot flying the B17, the navigator and the bombardier in the machine’s nose, the flight engineer behind the pilot, the radio operator, two waist gunners, a ball turret gunner and a tail gunner. Not to mention the men who strategized from the bases, the plane engineers and Tuskegee airmen or Royal Airforce pilots who feature in this story.

The Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg-produced World War II series Masters of the Air has something that its predecessors did not: a bona fide movie star in the lead role. Thanks to his award-winning role as the King himself in 2022’s Elvis, Austin Butler has burst onto the scene as a major acting force. And he brings that gravitas with him to portray Gale “Buck” Cleven in the nine-episode Apple TV+ series about WWII bomber pilots.

Cleven is the perfect role for the brooding Butler – a quiet, confident figure that the rest of his crew looks up to. Cleven also serves as the culmination of years of work for the actor just as much as the Elvis Presley gig did. As a teen, Butler made the Disney and Nickelodeon TV show circuit via a mix of one-off and recurring roles on Zoey 101, Hannah Montana, iCarly, Wizards of Waverly Place,...

Lea Thompson and Stacey Farber shined in the new mystery series, The Spencer Sisters. The series combined light-hearted crime drama with family angst well.

The Spencer Sisters Season 1 Episode 1 introduced both Darby and Victoria Spencer and hinted at why they had been estranged.

As an introductory chapter, the series did a decent job previewing the issues our leading ladies may have and what motivated them to go into the private investigation business together.

The Spencer Sisters was similar to many of Canada's other breezy procedurals, where private investigators solve crimes, typically bloodless ones, with plenty of humor sprinkled in. It reminded me of Private Eyes, which made sense since Alan McCullough created and produced both series.

The CW was fortunate to pick this series up since programming was lacking this fall during the strike. It fits right in with their programming, and both actresses have a massive fanbase.

There is much to discuss,...

Have you missed the radiant redheads Lea Thompson and Stacey Farber on TV?

Lea Thompson led Caroline and the City and Switched at Birth, and Farber portrayed the fan-favorite Ellie Nash in Degrassi: The Next Generation.

Now, the two are teamed up in The Spencer Sisters, a one-hour charming procedural where mother and daughter Victoria and Darby Spencer solve cases as Pi's.

On The Spencer Sisters Season 1 Episode 1, we learn about the complicated mother-daughter issues and how they'll work together when one of Darby's friends is accused of plagiarism.

Check out the spoilers before for The Spencer Sisters Season 1 Episode 1.
