Jim Gavin Regrets Nothing
February 26, 2013
For author Jim Gavin, all it took was a writing class at UCLA to snap the then-20something out of a rut. His knack for storytelling led to a Wallace Stegner Fellowship in Fiction from Stanford University, and later, a byline in The New Yorker‘s fiction section, awarded after an unsolicited submission.
Walton Goggins’ Unchained Melody
December 25, 2012
Goggins has made a career of playing characters whom you might generously describe as “morally problematic.” The Shield‘s corrupt cop, Shane Vendrell, and Justified‘s somewhat reformed white supremacist, Boyd Crowder, are his most famous roles. In Quentin Tarantino’s new film, Django Unchained, Goggins plays Billy Crash, a dirty cowboy.

The trio takes its work seriously: instead of haphazardly strumming out tunes, they gradually weave together vocals and instrumentals, creating flawlessly synched compositions. Combined with the uplifting message of the songs, the result is a refreshingly natural take on dubstep, relying on strong original vocals and adept instrumentals rather than samples and convoluted electronic rhythms.
The Daley Show
April 6, 2012
John Francis Daley has grown a lot since 1999’s Freaks and Geeks—both physically (he’s really tall) and career-wise. Not only is Daley a regular cast member of the surprisingly popular show, Bones, he is also writing movies with casts that include Kevin Spacey, Steve Carell, Jennifer Aniston and Steve Buscemi. Not too shabby from the former shrimpy Geek.
Darren Criss
December 7, 2010
Darren Criss’ path to joining the cast of Fox’s much-beloved Glee represents a particularly of-the-moment fairy tale: a Lana-Turner-in-the-malt-shop story for the digital age.
