♥ Happy Birthday Tom! ♥

Happy 37th Birthday today to our beautiful Tom! I somehow missed this talented man for years until last summer when I finally watched Smallville for the 1st time & fell in love with him & the series, I'm now almost done with a 2nd watch of the series & will never get tired of seeing his beautiful version of my favorite superhero, Clark Kent. ♥♥♥♥ I actually got to see him on cable several years ago in Cheaper by the Dozen 1 & 2, but even though he was great in it, he didn't have enough screen time for me to appreciate his talent back then, but I sure have seen it since last year. I also liked him in the B movie remake of The Fog with Maggie Grace, I don't care what everyone else says, I liked it, it gave me the creeps. He also played Secret Service Roy Kellerman in the indie film, "Parkland" that came out last November about the events in Dallas of JFK's assassination. I highly recommend it, especially to history buffs. & now he's in the latest football movie with Kevin Costner, "Draft Day". Can't wait to see more projects for him, he's really talented & even though I love him as Clark, he can play anything. Cheers & Best wishes to Tom!  May his beautiful star continue to rise! #HappyBirthdayTomWelling #Smallville #ClarkKent #Superman #KalEl #ImASuperManFreak #DraftDay #BrianDrew #Parkland #RoyKellerman #CheaperByTheDozen #TheFog

Ray Fisher to Play Cyborg In ‘Batman-Superman’ (EXCLUSIVE)

Big news today from Variety: 

Ray Fisher to Play Cyborg In ‘Batman-Superman’ (EXCLUSIVE)

By Justin Kroll

Film Reporter

After testing actors over the past couple weeks, Warner Bros. and D.C. have tapped theater actor Ray Fisher for the role of Cyborg in the untitled Batman-Superman pic.

Cyborg, while not a major part in the Batman-Superman feature, is a member of the Justice League and will become a much more significant role as Warner and D.C. develop more films related to the Justice League universe, sources confirm.

Warner Bros. had no comment on this story.

Fisher joins the Batman-Superman cast which includes Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Jesse Eisenberg, Gal Gadot and Amy Adams with Zack Snyder directing.

Production is currently underway in Michigan.

Written by David S. Goyer, the screenplay for Batman-Superman is based on a story by Goyer and Snyder.

Cavill, who plays Superman in the film, expressed a great deal of promise in Cyborg in the recent “Man of Steel” bonus feature, as well as the fictional research facility S.T.A.R. Labs, which appears in several DC Comics.

“I think he would create an incredible bridge between superheroes and humanity,” Cavill said of the Cyborg character.

S.T.A.R. Labs was also the workplace of Justice League characters Professor Hamilton and superhero Rampage, although it’s unclear whether they are involved in Batman-Superman.

Produced by Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder, the untitled Batman-Superman feature opens May 6, 2016.

Fisher, repped by ICM Partners, is more known for his theater roles including the Broadway play “Fetch Clay, Make Man” where he portrayed Muhammad Ali.

He was also one of the actors testing for J.J. Abrams’ upcoming “Star Wars: Episode VII.”

♥ Happy Birthday James! ♥

#JamesMcAvoy Happy Happy Birthday to one of my most favorite actors ever! I fell in love with Mr. Tumnus back in 2005 when I saw the Chronicles of Narnia, so I ran home to learn more about this brilliant actor who pulled that off so well & captured my heart. I discovered I had already seen some things he had been in, Band of Brothers, & then as Leto Atreides II in the Children of Dune mini series for SyFy a couple of years before. I was a huge fan of the Dune series by Frank Herbert, & loved that mini series, but somehow I just didn't catch the McAvoy fever for some reason. But after Mr. Tumnus, I was definitely there & have watched as much of his older stuff from the BBC like Shameless, & State of Play, & I got to see "Rory O'Shea Was Here", a fantastic little indie film that was never released here in the states. If I hadn't fallen in love with him from Narnia, I would have surely done so after seeing him in that film. I've seen most everything he's been in since & he's deserved every nomination & win for every award, although the Academy still hasn't given him any attention yet, I thoroughly believe that day will come. He's got a few films I haven't gotten the chance to see yet from 2013, Welcome to the Punch, Eleanor Rigby, Trance, & Filth, but I will asap. & of course he's back as the young Charles Xavier in X-Men: Days of Future Past that opens May 23rd. Can not wait for that film! We will see him portray Victor Von Frankenstein in the newest adaptation of the classic Frankenstein on 10/15/15. I am dying for more info on that one! It was announced he will be in the X-Men: Apocalypse due out in May 2016. He's finally getting the recognition he so deserves for the brilliant actor he is & I'm betting we will see more roles & projects coming up for him soon. Cheers & Best wishes to James! If you haven't watched this fantastic Scot in anything besides X-Men First Class, you must, you will not be sorry, I guarantee it. #HappyBirthdayJamesMcAvoy

Happy Birthday Claire!

#ClaireDanes Happy Birthday today to a very favorite actress of mine, Claire! 🎂 Been a fan since I first saw her play Beth on Little Women almost 20 years ago! I love that movie! I've seen almost every movie & series she's ever been in since then & loved or liked them all. She came into her own with her magnificent portrayal of Temple Grandin 4 years ago winning the Emmy, Golden Globe, & SAG among numerous other awards & noms. She has been playing the brilliant Carrie Mathison in one of my favorite series, Homeland, since its premiere in 2011. I love love love that series & can't wait til the 4th season premieres this fall! 👍👍👍 Cheers & Best wishes to Claire! 🍻 May she continue to have a wonderful career in the film & TV industry for many many years to come! 😊 #Homeland #CarrieMathison #TempleGrandin #Stardust #Yvaine #BrokedownPalace #RomeoAndJuliet #MySoCalledLife #LittleWomen 

& In honor of Claire's birthday today, I thought I would put together a little collage of her in Stardust, a major fave movie of mine, that I've watched at least 25 times over the years. This is the movie where I discovered the talented Charlie Cox & beautiful Ben Barnes. I've always been a big fan of Neil Gaiman's books & I thought they did a great adaptation of this one. I remember when I saw it at the theater opening weekend, I loved every second of it. 😍 Although Henry had to play a creepy douche with a bad blonde wig in it, he still did a great job. 👍😊 If any of you guys still haven't seen Stardust, check it out, it's fun, funny, exciting, crazy & Michelle Pfeiffer does a fantastic job as an evil witch. & the extra special plus was the brilliant Robert De Niro, OMG, he was crazy good playing a character that will amaze & delight you! Guaranteed. 👍👍👍 & the end credit song is one of my faves, "Rule the World" by Take That 🎵❤️ #Stardust #Yvaine #CharlieCox #TristanThorn #BenBarnes #DunstanThorn #HenryCavill #Humphrey #PeterOToole #MarkStrong #RupertEverett #MichellePfeiffer #RobertDeNiro #RickyGervais #SiennaMiller #NathanielParker #KateMagowan #TakeThat #RuleTheWorld ❤️❤️❤️

Hugh Jackman, Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy X-Men Q&A Highlights

"Watch all the highlights from our exclusive Q&A with X-Men: Days Of Future Past stars Hugh Jackman, Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy."

I love these 3 together!!! I can't wait til May 23rd to see this movie!!!

'X-Men: Days of Future Past': Bryan Singer offers an exclusive peek at the epic comic book movie -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO

X-Men: Days of Future Past (the cover of EW’s Summer Movie Preview) not only brings original X-Men castmembers, like Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry, together with First Class actors, like Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence, but also lures director Bryan Singer back to the franchise. In this exclusive featurette, the director, who helmed X-Men and X2, takes viewers behind the scenes of the May 23 comic book epic, which finds Jackman’s Wolverine sent back in time to stop a mutant/human war, and reveals why he wanted to return to the world of mutants.

"The Normal Heart" cast - The Hollywood Reporter

Can't wait to see this, it airs on HBO on May 25th. So many great actors are in it! 

Happy Birthday Taylor!

Happiest of Birthdays today to one of my very favorite actors, Taylor! Been watching his career for many years & absolutely loved his Gambit (Remy Lebeau) in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, & of course how could anyone not fall in love with his cool, good looking, womanizing fullback, Tim Riggins, in Friday Night Lights. Since FNL, he's had several movies I've loved & a few got great reviews, a couple were panned by the critics & didn't become the blockbusters & franchises they expected. But I didn't care, I loved them for the fun exciting sci-fi action thrillers they were. He did get more respect for his performance in the excellent Oliver Stone movie, Savages, & more recently his incredible portrayal of LT. Michael Murphy in Peter Berg's adaptation of "Lone Survivor" based on the book by Marcus Luttrell about the 2005 Navy SEAL team 10's Operation Red Wings. I highly recommend that movie & it appears it won't be available on Blu Ray & DVD til June 3rd. Hopefully we will get his latest indie comedy, "The Grand Seduction" here in the states, so far it's only played at a few film festivals & has received very favorable reviews. Next up is the much anticipated long awaited "The Normal Heart" to air on HBO on May 25th based on the Broadway play of the same name. He stars along with Matt Bomer, Mark Ruffalo, Jim Parsons, Julia Roberts, & several other talented actors, produced by Brad Pitt. He also did the voice for the animated movie, "Almost Heroes 3D" due out sometime later this year & then will finally start filming the crime thriller, "Exit 147". Can't wait for more info on that one! Cheers & Best wishes to Taylor! May his beautiful shining star continue to rise! ♥♥♥  #FridayNightLghts #TimRiggins#Gambit #RemyLebeau#TheBangBangClub #TheCovenant #JohnCarter #Battleship #AlexHopper#Savages #Chon #LoneSurvivor#LTMichaelMurphy #TheGrandSeduction#TheNormalHeart

Happy Birthday John!

Happy Birthday today to one of my favorite actors to play Jonathan Kent, John Schneider!  

I'll never forget when I first saw him burst onto my little TV screen long ago as Bo Duke in the wild, crazy, & super fun Dukes of Hazzard. He was a real heartthrob! & racing around the countryside in that badass Dodge Charger, "The General Lee"! He's had a really nice career since with my favorite character of all, the Man of Steel's adopted dad, Jonathan. He played him so well with the perfect mix of a caring, loving, yet strict & strong willed father who was super devoted to raising our precious Clark. 💗 His most recent series he's been in is Tyler Perry's "The Haves & The Have Nots" on Oprah's OWN station which I do not get on my cable, but I'm sure he's doing an excellent job as always. He's got 6 new movies due out this year, although I do not know if they are made for TV movies, but I'll be on the lookout for more info, as I miss seeing him on TV. He's also rumored to play the PotUS in a movie still in development that's a sci-fi action thriller titled "The Dying Breed". Hope we get more info on that one, I'm very fond of that genre. Cheers & Best wishes to John!  May he have great success in his career for many many years to come! ♥♥♥  #DukesOfHazzard #BoDuke #Smallville#JonathanKent #TheHavesAndTheHaveNots 

Happy Birthday Russell!

Happy Birthday today to a major fave of mine for many many years, Russell Crowe! I’ve seen & loved or liked almost all of his movies over the years, & of course my most favorite character besides Gladiator is our own Jor-El from Man of Steel. I haven’t had the chance to see Noah yet, but I’m going this week for sure, as I’ve been wanting to see it so bad. He’s got a new movie due out some time this year in Oz with a great Aussie cast called “The Water Diviner” which sounds good & I hope it gets a US release date, then next year is “Fathers & Daughters” with Amanda Seyfried, Aaron Paul, & Diane Kruger along with several other talented actors. & in development is the long awaited much anticipated “The Dark Tower” by Stephen King, where he’s attached to play the lead, Roland Deschain, AKA the Gunslinger. I can not wait for more news of that project. He’s also been in the music industry for at least 34 years having his own band, TOFOG, (30 Odd Foot of Grunts, & now is called The Ordinary Fear of God, same acronym) Cheers & Best wishes to Russell!!! May he continue to entertain us for many many many years to come! #ManOfSteel #JorEl ❤️ #Gladiator ❤️#Noah #WintersTale #LesMiserables #RobinHood #StateOfPlay #AmericanGangster #310ToYuma #AGoodYear #CinderellaMan #ABeautifulMind #Virtuosity #TheQuickAndTheDead #RomperStomper Music - #GreenDay #BoulevardOfBrokenDreams

Happy Birthday Fassy!

Happiest of birthdays today to one of my very favorite actors, Fassy! I've been a big fan of his for over 8 years now & have watched his blossoming career & will continue to always be "FassyNated"!  He recently won the Empire award for his portrayal of the brutal slave owner, Edwin Epps in the Oscar winning film, 12 Years a Slave & was nominated everywhere for it as well. Next up he will reprise his role as the young Magneto in X-Men: Days of Future Past to be released in May. Then the quirky comedy, "Frank" which at this time only has an official release date in May for Ireland, hopefully we will get a release in the US too. He recently wrapped "Slow West" which is supposed to have a release date this year. He has 5 more films in various stages of production, & I can not wait to hear more about all of them. He will definitely earn that coveted Best Actor Oscar one day, mark my words. Cheers & Best wishes to Michael! If you guys haven't seen some of his films, check out the list I have below in hashtags, I highly recommend all of them. #12YearsASlave #TheCounselor #XMenFirstClass#Prometheus #ADangerousMethod #Shame#JaneEyre #Haywire #JonahHex #Centurion#BloodCreek #FishTank #InglouriousBasterds#Hunger #300 #Stelios #Hex #ABearNamedWinnie #BandOfBrothers
