  • Reaper's Ray Wise Raises Hell in Series' Return | Today's News: Our Take | 3/2/2009

    Ray Wise has a legendary gift for diabolical roles — he played the character, after all, who committed perhaps the most famous murder in television history. Wise is marking his 40th year since his first film — Dare the Devil — by continuing his turn as The Devil himself in the second season of the CW's Reaper (premiering Tuesday at 8 pm/ET). read more 16 Comments

  • Has Reaper's Ray Wise Sold His Soul to the Devil? | Today's News: Our Take | 3/20/2008
    The Devil returned in pure-evil form last week when Reaper (Thursdays at 9pm/ET, CW) resumed after a too-long-for-us break. Tonight's episode is the second of this season's eight post-strike episodes, and things are just getting fired up. We'd sell our souls to get some Reaper scoop, and fortunately the show's Devil himself, actor Ray Wise, made us a deal we couldn't refuse. He chatted us up on his demon-catching minion's future, the legacy of Leland Palmer and Satan's burning… feelings.  TVGuide.com: So how much of yourself do you bring to your character?Ray Wise: Oh, I think a great deal, like… his sense of style. I say this tongue-in-cheek, but I think it's true. The hair is pretty much my hair and the teeth are my teeth, and the way I wear a suit and tie, that's the way the Devil does it. I bring read more
  • First, I totally agree with ... | Matt Roush | 10/26/2007
    Question: First, I totally agree with you on Pushing Daisies. The show is an absolute delight, and I love all the little side excursions, like the backstory on the Civil War hero ancestor of the sword owner. While it's completely different, I am reminded a bit of Arrested Development, in that the show isn't afraid to take really wild chances while keeping everything in character and staying respectful of its premise. Now a question on Reaper: I'm enjoying the show, but if Sam continues to be such a slacker and show so little initiative in his life, doesn't he risk becoming really unlikable? I know the show is slowly nudging him forward, but maybe it needs to be a little faster. Of course, he is saddled (humorously) with perhaps the worst TV parents ever! Answer: Once again, can we just cheer the full-season pickup of Pushing Daisies? If Moonlight is improving by the week, I'm becoming incrementally less enchanted by Reaper by the week. Sam is a big part of the problem (through no fault ... read more
  • Could Ray Wise be more ... | Matt Roush | 10/19/2007
    Question: Could Ray Wise be more perfectly cast on Reaper? I don't just mean well cast, or even brilliantly cast: He is perfect on that show. He's this season's Alec Baldwin. Also, I've been thinking about the people who complain about how sexist Mad Men is. Of course, the standard response is that the show's not sexist, it's merely a depiction of sexist times. But I have noticed something a lot more subtle, and a lot more telling, namely Don's choice of women. Don married the "ideal" woman: Barbie-doll beautiful, obedient, seemingly without an opinion or will of her own, extremely well behaved. On the outside, she appears every bit the perfect trophy wife. But who are the women Don feels the most strongly attracted and continually drawn to? Midge and Rachel are strong, independent women who are the polar opposites of Betty's Waspy homemaker. In any great drama, there is so much more beneath the surface, and Mad Men is a perfect example of that. While Reaper (with the brilliant Ray ... read more
