10:53 - Scorpion - Season 2 - Kevin Weisman to Recur
Thanks to RD for the heads up.
Kevin Weisman (ALIAS, HELLO LADIES) has landed a recurring role on SCORPION. “We are so excited to have Kevin join SCORPION this season".
SCORPION executive producer Nick Santora said in a statement. “As Ray, Walter’s new buddy from community service, Kevin is going to bring a completely different viewpoint to Walter’s life – he’s not a genius – in fact he probably has below average intelligence. He’s odd and a bit ‘off’ but for some reason, Walter learns to like the guy and we get to see Walter O’Brien make a non-genius friend outside of Scorpion. But Ray’s unique approach to life is something Walter and the gang have to adjust to, and that won’t always be that easy to do.”
The role is a reunion of sorts for Weisman and SCORPION producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci — the trio worked together from 2001-2004 on ALIAS.

03:30 - Shadowhunters - Interview with Kat McNamara
Thanks to RD for the heads up.
Let’s talk “Shadowhunter”—give me a little bit of background, and what we can expect.
It’s based on the “The Mortal Instruments” series by Cassandra Clare. And the basis for that world is every mythical creature, every legend, every story, every myth that you’ve heard is true. Vampires, werewolves, demons, fairies, angels, warlocks, they’re all real. And they all exist in our world, [but] humans can’t see them. They call us Mundanes. And shadowhunters are a race of half-humans, half-angels and their task is to fight demons and protect humans from this crazy world that exists around them.
Clary Fray, the character that I play, is this normal 18-year old girl growing up in Brooklyn. She’s an art student living with her best friend and her mom and suddenly on her 18th birthday, weird things start to happen. She meets a mysterious stranger and suddenly her world changes. She learns she’s a shadowhunter and her mother has hidden this from her. We’ve shot six episodes so far, it’s been a crazy ride. But it’s such a fun world to live in because anything’s possible. It’s a very dark, very edgy, very sexy, very violent show and it kind of opens the door to [an] older audience in a very interesting and cool way.
