From TVGuide.com:

All week I’ve been trying to come up with a subject for this blog post. It’s not that I don’t have plenty to choose from as “The Runner” features a new partner for Lydia, the murder of a college athlete, and a trip to desert for John and Ben. Rather, I think I’ve been a bit overly serious in some prior posts and I want to have fun on this one. So, without further ado, a little love letter to one of my favorite actors, who also happens to work on “Southland.” C. Thomas Howell. I love C. Thomas Howell.

From MovieWeb:

Southland has proven itself to be one of the best cop dramas ever produced for television. With an explosive second season nearing its end, each new episode has been better than the last. It truly is must-see TV. Sadly, year two of this action-packed procedural was cut short when NBC decided to cancel the show just six episodes into its fall shooting schedule. Those six episodes are currently running on TNT, where the series has continued to amass a rabid fanbase. This Thursday, March 30th, brings us Episode 2.05: “What Makes Sammy Run?”. And it’s a very important episode for gang Detectives Nate Moretta (Kevin Alejandro) and Sammy Bryant (Shawn Hatosy). When two gangsters open fire in a crowded club and kill a couple of local bangers, it is revealed that one of them has a connection to an officer. Meanwhile, tensions rise between Sal (Michael McGrady) and Gil (Laz Alonso) on the gang task force, while Sammy must confront his wife, Tammi (Emily Bergl), after discovering that she has been out photographing gang members.

One of the star’s of TNT’s Southland was generous enough to donate some of his time to do an interview for DVR Assassin this week. This is one of my favorite shows on television right now and I encourage everyone to tune in Tuesday at 10:00 PM for a treat.

DA: It wasn’t until the final ten minutes of the premiere episode that I really bought into Southland and it’s difference in tone when compared to other police dramas. When you were first reading the script, was there an “A-Ha!” moment for you personally?

MC: I don’t know if there was an A-Ha moment per se . I knew it was going to be a large ensemble cast with a focus on character. The kind of show, Wells is famous for. He has been doing this for years and he does it well. Once the cast was in place and we started meetings with John, Chris and Anne it started to become obvious that we were going to try something very new and possibly revolutionary. The photographic look was going to be more “documentary style” they wanted to capture the energy and truth of the moments and not have to rely on recreating these moments in the editing room. Scenes would be allowed to play out and many cameras would be used for simultaneous coverage. I think this gives the show a voyeuristic feel. At times you feel you are witness to things you should not be seeing. I also think the dark tone of the show give it a very unpredictable quality.
