Paul McCrane: TV Guide News

Episode Recap: Skye's the Limit | ER | 11/30/2007
There’s a new chief in town…again. And apparently, she’s just as horny as the last one. I love that Lucien happened to be the beneficiary of Wexler’s “love the one you’re with” approach to relationships, though I don’t think that will end up satisfying him emotionally in the long run. Despite some light moments in this episode directed by the former Dr. "Watch out for that helicopter" Romano, Paul McCrane, there was some heavy stuff going on tonight. Wexler’s first night in her new job brought a tragic case of a misunderstanding gone terribly wrong. The bigoted son’s misguided attempt at revenge over his father’s life-altering injury went awry and resulted in the murder of the Hispanic woman’s son. Meanwhile, Pratt found himself at a career crossroads as he began to doubt his future at County; and Tony juggled the demands of his own parenting adventures while handling the case of an injured boy and his... read more
Hot Topic: Meet the Bauers | Roush Dispatch | 1/30/2007
Nothing brings a family together like a bunch of purloined suitcase nukes. Or so we gather from 24 this season, which apparently has split the fan base over whether it was a good idea to reveal the Big Bad from this and last season to be Jack Bauer’s own brother: the sniveling Graem—played by one of TV’s most reliable go-to villains, former ER irritant Paul McCrane. (Think maybe Jack can arrange for a helicopter to fall on this creep as well?)As usual, I’m willing to go along for the ride, trusting it won’t take us into Kim Bauer-meets-the-cougar territory. This storyline is just the latest of many risks taken by this show, which has ruthlessly killed off favorite characters (starting with the death of Jack’s wife Teri at the end of the first season) and brought Jack back from the dead, both literally and figuratively, prompting allegations of shark-jumping almost from the start. To which I say, and always have said: Phooey!I loved the way they... read more
January 22, 2007: Day 6: 10 am — 11 am | 24 | 1/23/2007
Ladies and gentlemen, readers of all ages, my mind has officially been blown. Mystery Bluetooth Man is Jack's brother? Of all the possible answers to "Who's this weasel pulling President Logan's strings?" that we contemplated last season, I'm pretty sure I never would have come up with that one. I still have no idea who the former Rocket Romano's working with (or for), but I can't wait to find out. We know he's got issues with Jack, both professionally (to surveillance guy: "We should have killed Jack when we had the chance") and personally (to his wife, the ubiquitous Rena Sofer: "You weren't over Jack when we got married and you're still not"). But beyond that, nothing but question marks. Meanwhile, I guess Jack's little crisis of faith has passed for the time being; mere minutes after stepping down from his post as World's Most Bad-Ass Hero, he was back in action scaling apartment buildings and hoisting helicopter-crash victims to safety. (Cue awesome explosion.) And this may... read more
Exclusive Casting Scoop on 24, Boston Legal! | Ausiello Report | 9/22/2006
Infamous show-killer Rena Sofer (Blind Justice, Coupling) is joining 24 for a mult-episode arc, a well-placed source confirms. The General Hospital Emmy winner will play the wealthy, Bel Air wife of returning evildoer Graham, played by Paul McCrane. (And I was only half-joking about the show-killer thing. Me like Sofer.) Also, ex-Surface star Lake Bell will reprise her Boston Legal role of Sally Heep for two episodes this November. Now in totally unrelated news, our friends up North weren't the only ones who had the privilege of watching the second episode of Grey's Anatomy a whole week ahead of time. (Hint: I'm talking about me!) And as much as I loved last night's premiere, Episode 2 is so much better. You guys are gonna flip! read more
