The classic sitcom, Whos the Boss?, ran from 1984-1992, and there had been talks about reviving the show on Amazon Freevee. One of its stars, Judith Light, who played advertising executive Angela Bower in all 196 episodes of the series, told Variety shed be delighted if the series moved forward with another streamer or network.

I would be delighted, Light said. But in terms of where I am and the workload that I have right now, I dont know what my availability would be. When I started my career, I said Id never do a soap opera and Id never do a sitcom. Well, I did both those things. Then I said I would never marry an actor. And I did just that. So, I learned to never say never.

I would be delighted [to return].

Light is married to actor Robert Desiderio, who starred in the ABC soap opera One Life to Live opposite Light.

Twin Peaks villains are multi-dimensional, with complex motivations and entangled relationships that contribute to the show's unsettling atmosphere. Characters like Jacques Renault, Hank Jennings, and Josie Packard showcase different layers of villainy, adding depth to the narrative. From the shrewd Catherine Martell to the terrifying Killer Bob, each villain plays a crucial role in driving the plot and keeping viewers on edge.

The villains of Twin Peaks are often more than just one-dimensional evil characters. They are driven by complex motivations, shaped by their experiences and entangled in relationships that define both the politics and the atmosphere of mistrust in the town. Some are driven by greed and power, while others are consumed by darkness and despair. Regardless of their motives, they all contribute to the unsettling atmosphere that permeates the series, as well as the unsolved mysteries of Twin Peaks.

Twin Peaks is renowned for divisive characters, not least its complex and multifaceted villains.

Matt Damon's diverse career includes impressive Western movie performances showcasing his range and talent. Damon's lesser-known roles in TV and film paved the way for his success, such as The Good Old Boys. Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron highlighted Damon's voice acting skills in this animated Western classic.

The career of Matt Damon has been categorized by acclaimed roles across a variety of genres and has included some fantastic performances in Western movies. While Damon first became known for his breakout success as the co-writer and star of Good Will Hunting, hes also portrayed cowboys and Western lawmen on more than one occasion. These enjoyable performances showcased how well Damon was suited to genre movies as he fully embodied the free-roaming ideals and individualist nature of the Wild West.

With many incredible performances under his belt, Damon has made a name for himself through his long-running and Academy Award-winning collaboration with Ben Affleck.

The words offbeat, personal and edgy used to be a draw for movie fare — we’d check out a new relationship picture based only on an actor or two that we liked. Bobby Roth’s semi-autobiographical buddy story has a good stab at the early ’80s art + singles scene in Los Angeles, with a dash of macho clichés — pals Peter Coyote and Nick Mancuso fight in public and somehow suffer while bedding fantastic women. But the overall vibe is one of honest sensitivity, aided by fine performances from Carole Laure, Kathryn Harrold and Carol Wayne. Plus music by Tangerine Dream.
