David Duchovny: ‘The X-Files made me a better actor’:
David Duchovny has credited starring in The X-Files with helping him become a better actor.
Duchovny, who played Special Agent Mulder on the sci-fi series, commented that he learned a great deal during his nine years on The X-Files.
He explained: “Every day I had to go to work and every day for 14 hours year after year after year. I don’t know if I would’ve made it to this point if I would’ve just gone from movie to movie to movie like a three-month stint here and a three-month stint there.
“It was very good for me and my particular sense of myself or my craft to have to go in every day and do it.”

Nominated for an NAACP award, for the portrayal of Dom Toretto:
Vin Diesel
We all know, I tend to shy away from award shows…/smile
However, I can’t tell you how honored I am to be Nominated for an NAACP award, for the portrayal of Dom Toretto in Fast Five.
Haha… one to be proud of…
I am lucky to have such a great ensemble of actors, director, writer, producers… and even the studio. Film is truly a team effort, and everyone gave above and beyond.
P.s. Thank you NAACP for validating my work, and more importantly, validating all those who have believed in me.

In defence of Stargate: Universe:
[W]hen it came to Stargate:Universe, they’d learned the lesson that square-jawed action heroes don’t always equal interesting. Universe is filled with flawed characters, so much so that the entire premise of the show was based around the consequences of having the wrong people in the right place at the right time.
…
Universe had utterly different themes; cynicism and struggle where the order of the day, problems would not go away once someone had shouted “SCIENCE!” at it and the conflict was almost always internal, rather than some horrid threat from beyond the stars. Which made for great television, but after 10+ years of seeing Stargate Command take on gods and win, I can see why fans were disappointed. They wanted bright heroic romance, not dark struggle.Which is a pity, because the show was all about triumphing over the impossible.

This day at Teahupoo- Aug 27th 2011 during the Billabong Pro waiting period is what many are calling the biggest and gnarliest Teahupoo ever ridden. Chris Bryan was fortunate enough to be there working for Billabong on a day that will go down in the history of big wave surfing. The French Navy labeled this day a double code red prohibiting and threatening to arrest anyone that entered the water.
Kelly Slater described the day by saying “witnessing this was a draining feeling being terrified for other people’s lives all day long, it’s life or death. Letting go of that rope one time can change your life and not many people will ever experience that in their life.”

Madame de Pompadour as the next companion?:
This may all just be Steven Moffat trolling the internet, but the Doctor Who showrunner tweeted that people should follow Sophia Myles’s Twitter feed, and that he would explain later. Myles, who played Madame de Pompadour in Moffat’s second series episode “The Girl in the Fireplace”, put out a couple cryptic tweets, but no further information is forthcoming. This has led to speculation – as it always does in Doctor Who fandom — that Myles might be the next companion, or at least she might appear in the next series. I’m a bit more skeptical, but honestly this one is pretty hard to read. [Zap2It]
Karen Gillan confirmed again that her departure from the role has already been decided, but that her final appearances will comprise “a few episodes… a few really good episodes.” [Hitfix]

Katee Sackhoff Talks RIDDICK; Reveals the Wild Story on How She Got Cast:
Question: You recently signed on to do the next Riddick movie. Was there a specific draw for you with that?
KATEE SACKHOFF: The draw there is selfish. I grew up watching science fiction and action movies. I love it. I absolutely love it! I’m a huge fan of Vin [Diesel]. I’m a huge fan of the first two movies. I don’t even know how much I can say. They’re so buried in secrecy, over there at the David Twohy camp. But, selfishly, it’s what makes me tick. It’s what I enjoy doing. It’s fun. I’ve been all over the map with my films, in the last year, and the next three or four that I have planned, so I’m excited to go blow some shit up.
…
I got the job because I showed up. I truly believe that. When I was driving home that night, at 2 o’clock in the morning, I called my mom and said, “I do believe I just got that job because I showed up.” As far as acting goes, you get to a certain point where I think everyone can do the job and it comes down to a level of commitment. I think sometimes all you have to do is show up.[collider.com/13 jan 2012]
