Adam West Explains the Poetic Importance of Comic-Con

TV legend and burgeoning comic book star Adam West has plenty of nice things to say about Christopher Nolan’s “gothic, nihilistic” Batman series, his old co-stars Julie Newmar and Burgess Meredith, and even nerds. But in a post written by West himself, it appears the Pow! ing, Zap! ping actor understands the continuing importance of Comic-Con, which is very much upon us. Read his sincere words ahead.

Harry Shum Jr., BD Wong, and Boo Boo Stewart to Make a Very Attractive Family in White Frog

Apparently when you form a family from spare cast members of Glee , the Twilight franchise, and Law and Order: SVU , you might end up with an attractive ensemble. We watch such results occur in this on-set picture from White Frog , next year’s movie about “a 15-year-old with Asperger’s ( The Twilight Saga ‘s Boo Boo Stewart) dealing with a tragedy in the family.” Harry Shum of Glee and B.D. Wong of Law and Order: SVU (and the fabulous, Tony-award winning play M. Butterfly ) flank him. Don’t forget Joan Chen as the also-very-great-looking mom!

Which Glee Cast Members Have the Best Shot At Being Movie Stars?

With I Am Number Four unspooling at theaters around the country (and in IMAX !), Dianna Agron becomes the first Glee star to graduate from McKinley High School to the silver screen. Four isn’t Agron’s maiden voyage into the world of film — she had small roles in Burlesque and The Romantics last year — but it is the first high profile movie appearance from any Glee star since the show exploded. Will Agron be the biggest movie star of the New Directions bunch? Ahead — using nothing but common sense, speculation and bit of wishful thinking — Movieline counts down the ten Glee students most likely to succeed.

Does Glee Need New Characters When It Already Has These Two?

Now that Glee’s wrapped up its freshman season, everyone wants to know what the writers have planned for season two. Executive producer Ryan Murphy has promised that the show will add three more characters to its already overstuffed cast: love interests for both Kurt and Mercedes, as well as a Christian moralist who’ll go toe-to-toe with Rachel. My question is, do they really need to add new actors when some of those roles could go to its two most underserved actors?

Harry Shum Jr. on the Perks of Glee, Oprah and On-Set Dance Battles

Even for the cast members of Glee , who are coasting through an Emmy award-winning freshman year, last week’s appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show was special. But for Harry Shum, Jr., who plays Mike Chang, the episode was his introduction to America via Matthew Morrison, who when summoned to show off his dancing abilities, turned the attention onto 25-year-old co-star: “This guy is incredible, and I’m so happy there is a show called Glee that can showcase the talents of someone who just breathes dance.” For those who were unfamiliar until last week, Shum, Jr. starred in the iconic iPod “silhouette” campaign, appeared in two Step Up movies and co-choreographed a number during this year’s Academy Awards. In anticipation of the show’s mid-season premiere tonight, Harry Shum Jr. phoned Movieline to discuss his whirlwind week performing for the Obamas and Oprah, his days dancing for Beyoncé and the unlikely companion he found on the set of Glee
