Medical dramas on television have been around pretty much since the advent of the picture tube. There was “Dr. Kildare” in the 60’s. “Marcus Welby, MD” in the 70’s, “St. Elsewhere” was in the 80’s… But starting in the 90’s there was one team of diligent doctors that stitched their way to critical acclaim and 23 emmy awards. It also propelled its actors to true stardom. There was even a future Batman hidden in the scrubs.

There are some shows that will go down in TV history as setting the bar for a specific genre. And when those shows have ensemble casts, it pretty much raises the status of every actor on the screen. When it comes to cop shows that viewers and critics collectively have loved, one specific police drama and its characters from the 1990’s and beyond stands out. This is Still Here Hollywood. I’m Steve Kmetko. Join me today with Donna...

“Over The Top” is a term that is often used as a kind of a slam to someone’s personality.

But in Hollywood, playing a role “Over The Top” can make you stand out. And if you’re lucky, it could land you as an iconic character in one of the biggest shows in television history.

A “Hail Mary” pass is pretty much a football term, and of course a prayer, but that’s the point.. Several decades ago, one auditioning actor (who was shown the door), held that door open long enough to toss a Hail Mary pass to the producers. That last second pitch landed him the role of an iconic character in o...

Accents in film and television can very much define an actor's devotion to their craft. Whether it’s Meryl Streep’s Polish accent in Sofie’s Choice, or Frances McDormand’s Minnesota dialect in “Fargo”, the formation of those voices tell the story of where the character is from.

But, there’s one actor who reache...

Now I know that not many, if any, of you will remember the show DRAGNET, because it originally aired in the 1950’s, I mean I was barely around then. But DRAGNET was one of the first big TV “Cop Shows” that came on just a smidge after TV was invented.

Chewbacca… Robin… Tattoo… Ed McMahon. Sidekicks in film and television are some of the most important roles to fill on a cast. And all are pivotal to the success of the show.
