Funny Girl: Keri Russell Says Running Wilde Is Like a Men’s Club --- for Nerds

As Felicity, the sensitive college girl forever caught between two men in The WB series of the same name, Keri Russell became known for dramatic, breathless hellos, rather than breathless laughter.

Catch Him If You Can: Lone Star's James Wolk on the Art of the Con

It's a provocative premise: In Fox's Lone Star, Bob Allen has been raised a Texas con man, grifting through life until he falls in love for real — twice. Now he wants to go straight, without losing either woman, or the worlds they live in (respectively, an oil-rich dynasty in Houston, and a tight-knit small town in Midland.) Video: Lone Star cast talks about the pilot Following someone leading a double life on TV can be done — see: Don Draper, Dexter, Nurse Jackie — but it can be tricky. Will Lone Star be a 22-episode tease? Will his ruse never fall apart? Will his wives never meet? And if they do, does the show morph into something else? Series star James Wolk talks to TVGuide.com about taking on his first major role (and changing his professional name to go with it), playing the sociopath you root for, and what he thinks of the show's super-sexy ad campaign. ...

The '20s, Gangsters and Man-Boys: A Conversation with Boardwalk Empire's Terence Winter

Why is Terence Winter's first post-Sopranos series again about New Jersey gangsters? Two words: Martin Scorsese. "HBO gave me the book Boardwalk Empire in a meeting and said, 'See what you think,'" Winter says. "On my way out the door, they added, 'Oh, by the way, Martin Scorsese is attached to this... if it goes... if you can find anything." I stopped, turned around and said, 'I guarantee you there is a series in this book. I don't care what it is; I will find it.'" Scorsese aside, the two-time Emmy-winning writer on The Sopranos quickly discovered Boardwalk Empire could be a sprawling epic on its own.
