  • Fall TV: Christian Slater in Talks to Front Bruckheimer Drama | Today's News: Our Take | 7/2/2009

    Film vet Christian Slater, who last fall played a superspy in NBC's short-lived My Own Worst Enemy, is in talks to front ABC's new Jerry Bruckheimer-produced crime drama.

    In The Forgotten, Slater would fill the lead role of a former cop who heads up a team of amateur detectives. Among the character's baggage is the fact that his 11-year-old daughter was kidnapped three years prior.

  • Roush Review: The Enemy Here is Logic | Matt Roush | 10/13/2008

    The question, and it's a fair one, nags at many of this season's new series: How long can they keep it going? It applies mostly to shows adapted from limited-run overseas hits (Life on Mars, Worst Week, The Ex List, Eleventh Hour, Kath & Kim), but is especially pertinent to NBC's nonsensical spy thriller My Own Worst Enemy.

    Reminiscent at times of The Bourne Identity or Face/Off, to name a few movie influences it does not improve upon, the beyond-high-concept Enemy asks us to believe Christian Slater as a cold-blooded assassin named Edward who doubles, when a switch in his brain is flipped, as a milquetoast family man named Henry.

  • Christian Slater Becomes His Own Worst Enemy | Today's News: Our Take | 10/13/2008

    In My Own Worst Enemy (premieres Monday, Oct. 13, 10 pm/ET, NBC), Christian Slater plays two roles: Henry Spivey, a mild-mannered, suburban dad who travels a lot for work and wishes he had more time for his family, and Edward Albright, a dashing international operative who works for a top-secret intelligence agency. The catch: They share a body, and are unaware of the other's existence, initially anyway. In the pilot episode, titled "Breakdown," a malfunctioning computer chip inside Henry/Edward's head starts to "flip the switch" at inopportune moments, giving the two men unwelcome glimpses into the lives of their very different alter egos. Slater tells us why he decided to do a TV show, the difference between playing the two characters, and why people shouldn't worry about this show's resemblance to Joss Whedon's Dollhouse...

  • Christian Slater's Enemy Finds a New Wife | Today's News: Our Take | 8/15/2008
    Christian Slater has a new wife for his double-duty character on My Own Worst Enemy.The star of the new NBC series will now be betrothed to Madchen Amick, who will play wife to Slater's Henry, a suburban dad whose alter ego is a spy, the Hollywood Reporter says. Amick's character is in the dark about her husband's secret life.Amick, who will also be heating things up on Gossip Girl this season, is replacing Yara Martinez, in the second shake-up for the show in 10 days. As previously reported, she show's creator, Jason Smilovic, stepped away from daily operations and John Eisendrath was upped to executive producer.For some of us, it's tough to picture Slater with anyone but Samantha Mathis or Winona Ryder (take your '80s movie pick), but for the rest: Will Slater and Amick make a good couple — at least, until Henry's secret side unfolds? — Anna DimondMore Enemy News:• VIDEO: Sneak Peek of Christian Slater's New Drama!• Zachary Levi to Host NBC Sneak Peek Showcase&... read more
