Separated at Birth: WHEN WE RISE’s Guy Pearce and MADAM SECRETARY’s Tim Daly
On account of our inexplicable need to point out actors who remind us of, well, other actors comes the latest instalment of our popular ongoing “Separated at Birth” series. This week’s edition is inspired by ABC’s WHEN WE RISE. After spending eight wonderful hours watching ABC’s remarkable new miniseries while at the same time scratching our head as to who series star Guy Pearce (pictures above, left) looks like, it finally dawned on us. Pearce is a dead ringer for MADAM SECRETARY star Tim Daly. Discuss.
MADAM SECRETARY Sneak Peek: A Modern Romeo and Juliet
The upcoming marriage of two young people from Columbia has the potential to cause an international incident in this week’s MADAM SECRETARY.
Juan-Luis Moreno, the son of President Natalia Moreno, and Soledad Penagos, the daughter of rebel leader Mateo Penagos, have the potential to bring the country back from the brink of a civil war. The United States has helped broker a peace deal between these two opposing parties and the parents and their children are invited to Washington, D.C. to attend a dinner to celebrate the truce. But Soledad goes missing just before the dinner, having seemingly turned into a runaway bride. President Dalton is shocked that the truce is dependent solely on this modern day Romeo and Juliet, but that seems to be the reality of the situation and so everyone in D.C. is on high alert to retrieve Soledad so that the situation can be resolved.
Meanwhile, this love story — and Daisy’s new inter-office romance — leaves Jay grumpy as he deals with his tenuous marital situation. And Henry is getting ready to send his operative undercover.
MADAM SECRETARY airs tonight (March 5) at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
TIME AFTER TIME: H.G. Wells and Jack the Ripper Travel Through Time
H.G. Wells (Freddie Stroma) is a man ahead of his time when TIME AFTER TIME begins. A writer and inventor, he has created a time machine in order to do research for a new book he’s writing on….you guessed it….time travel. Wells is also an idealist who believes in pacficism and thinks that humans will, one day, create a utopia to live in.
Enter his friend Dr. John Stevenson (Josh Bowman), a man Wells doesn’t realize is also Jack the Ripper. Stevenson shows up at his friend’s house one night in the 1880s and gets introduced to Wells’ time machine. When Scotland Yard officers show up at the door after a recent killing and discover the latest murder weapon in Stevenson’s doctor bag, Stevenson escapes to present-day New York City with the help of the machine.
When Wells realizes that his friend is a killer, he arrives in the present to find him. In fact, he arrives smack dab in the middle of an H.G. Wells exhibit at a museum and meets the assistant curator, Jane Walker (Genesis Rodriguez). Circumstances push these two together again, as Wells tries to track down Stevenson in the massive city. He’s also extremely despondent to learn that humanity has not created the utopia he envisioned. In fact, the present is a world far more aligned with Stevenson’s temperament.
Wells also meets Vanessa Anders (Nicole Ari Parker), the CEO of a very wealthy company who also claims to be Wells’ great granddaughter and who seems to know all about Wells traveling through time. With some help from Anders, Wells and Jane continue to chase Stevenson through time to stop him from killing again.
TIME AFTER TIME debuts tonight (March 5) with a two-hour premiere beginning at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on ABC (U.S.) and CTV (Canada).
NCIS: LOS ANGELES Sneak Peek: Miguel, Memories, Mole, Mull
On the last episode of NCIS: LOS ANGELES, we saw Owen Granger, and his portrayer, Miguel Ferrer, lying in a hospital bed, but still fighting.
Ferrer, who died of throat cancer on January 19, managed to utter some heart-wrenching words when Hetty (Linda Hunt) suggested that he rest. After being reassured that he was still alive, Granger asked about his team and any danger from the mole.
Despite his façade of gruffness, it was obvious that Granger, while concerned about the mole, cared deeply for his team.
Both Granger and Ferrer were consummate teammates. A personal observation, Miguel, who was the voice of The Martian Manhunter in the animated JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE NEW FRONTIER, fought the Los Angeles traffic to record his voiceovers during his lunch breaks at CROSSING JORDAN.
As I stuffed a Styrofoam container of food into his hand on his way out the door, I again expressed gratitude that he was willing to rush around to accommodate our tight schedule. He replied with his slight smile, “I could never let you guys down” as he headed toward the traffic-laden parking garage.
I suspect that his final NCIS: LOS ANGELES scene was taken as much from Miguel’s life as from Owen’s. Determined to do his job, no matter how difficult, and showing concern for others were two traits that I admired in the character and the actor.
(Ferrer, reportedly also worked while ill to reprise his role as FBI Agent Albert Rosenfield in the star-studded TWIN PEAKS revival on Showtime premiering on May 21.)
In his last scene with Hetty, Ferrer’s magnificent voice was quiet and pained. When Hetty urged him to sleep, he said, “I dreamt that there was a buzzard, and he kept circling me.”
How Hunt kept her composure is beyond me, as tears flooded down my face as I watched.
Then, the dynamic duo showed off their penchant for humor as Hetty leaned in and whispered, “Don’t be a smartass, Owen.” Granger (and Ferrer) gave us that small, wry smile that let us know that he would never let us down.
Whether tonight’s episode of NCIS: LOS ANGELES, “Old Tricks,” addresses the fate of Owen Granger remains to be seen, but the series will pay a tribute to Ferrer. He will be heard in “Old Tricks” performing “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” with his longtime band, The Jenerators.
The episode features comedy vets, Martin Mull and Debra Jo Rupp as con artists, Edward and Ginger O’Boyle. The pair go target retirement homes, bilking elderly people out of their money.
(Useless info note for your local bar’s six-degrees trivia night: Ferrer made an uncredited guest appearance on ER which starred his first-cousin, George Clooney. Rupp also was a guest star on ER. Mull and Clooney are both alums of ROSEANNE.)
After Callen (Chris O’Donnell) and Sam (LL Cool J) investigate a suspicious kidnapping attempt involving Navy Lieutenant Warren Miller (guest star Connor Weilz), Kensi (Daniela Ruah) and Deeks (Eric Christian Olsen) go undercover at the retirement home of MSgt. Louis Miller (guest star John Colton), the younger Miller’s grandfather.
Meanwhile, Callen confronts his father (Daniel J. Travanti) on his illegal activity and the danger it places on their family.
Guest stars on “Old Tricks” are Peter Cambor (recurring as psychologist, Nate Getz), India De Beaufort, LAS VEGAS’s Marsha Thomason, Terryn Westbrook, Mike Erwin, Anzu Lawson, Connor Weil, John Colton, Jeronimo Spinx and Makai Dudeck.
“Old Tricks” was written by Andrew Bartels and directed by Trrence Nightingall (another ER vet).
MAKING HISTORY: Meet the Characters
What if you went back in time and did something that prevented the American Revolution from ever beginning? That’s the question at the start of MAKING HISTORY, the new Fox comedy series from Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (the brains behind 21 JUMP STREET and THE LEGO MOVIE).
Get to know the show’s main characters below.
Dan Chambers. Dan is a schlub working as a facilities manager at a small Massachusetts college. While he spends his days in the present as a loser, his use of a time machine to travel back to the 1770s means that he finally has a chance to be cool. In fact, he has a beautiful girlfriend, Deborah, and is friends with John Hancock and Samuel Adams. But his romance with Deborah means that her father, Paul Revere, is distracted and doesn’t do his familar ride through town to tell people that “the British are coming”. When Dan realizes he messed up he recruits history professor Chris to go back in time and jump-start the rebellion.
Chris Parrish. Chris is a mild-mannered history professor and he’s not what one could call an adventurous person. But when Dan convinces him to travel back to the 1770s he is thrilled to have access to a time machine. Unfortunately, he doesn’t fit in there, at least until he takes some advice from Dan and uses his knowledge of the future to look “cool”. By the end of the pilot episode Chris volunteers to stay behind to help jump-start the American Revolution.
Deborah. Deborah Revere is a woman ahead of her time — she’s strong and self-assured and doesn’t belong in colonial times. She’s also desperately in love with Dan and eager to travel to the present where she has far more freedom to be an alpha woman.
John Hancock & Samuel Adams. These two founding fathers are quintessential jokers, engaging in crude humor as they haze Chris in the past.
MAKING HISTORY premieres tonight (March 5) at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.
