Actress Caitlin Carmichael has landed the female lead in the new series Dwight in Shining Armor, set for the BYUtv network.
The series is a contemporary fish out of water original scripted comedy with Carmichael as “Gretta,” a young warrior princess who has been sleeping for a thousand years and wakes up in the 21st century with no understanding of the world around her.
Carmichael was recently seen in a recurring role on Fox’s The Mick, and next up plays a young Olivia Wilde in the Amazon film Life Itself, which will be released in September. She has also appeared on Young Sheldon and in the film Wheelman.
She is repped by Paradigm, Link Entertainment and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern.
Dwight In Shining Armor will premiere in 2019. Sloane Morgan Siegel (Amazon Studio’s Gortimer Gibbon’s Life on Normal Street) and Joel McCrary (The Princess Diaries 1 & 2) star in...

It seems reasonable to expect that a movie called “The Great Wall,” billed as the biggest production in China’s filmmaking history, would feature Chinese actors. Instead, when Universal and Legendary released the trailer for Zhang Yimou’s film, the first face viewers saw was that of the decidedly white Matt Damon, fighting monsters atop the Middle Kingdom’s most famous monument.
In America, it was a call to arms in the battle against whitewashing, that curious tendency to insert Caucasian faces where history tells us there were none. “We have to stop perpetuating the racist myth that only a white man can save the world,” wrote comedian and “Fresh Off the Boat” star Constance Wu in a lengthy, impassioned statement posted to Twitter. “Our heroes don’t look like Matt Damon.”
China had another take. There, the prevailing sentiment over the trespass on their national identity might best be described as a Whatevs.

Justin Lin, the Taiwan-born director of Fast & Furious instalments 3 through 6, has been hard at work steering his Chinese language debut - the Us-set, star-studded action comedy Hollywood Adventures to the screen. Lin writes and produces the film, which stars Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei and Vicky Zhao Wei, as well as F&F's Sung Kang, and a host of cameos from the likes of Missi Pyle and Stephen Tobolowsky. In the director's chair is Timothy Kendall, whose prominent credits appear to be directing episodes of TV shows like The Book Club and Dick Fowler, Pi. The plot centres around Yu Ming (Huang), who heads to Los Angeles to propose to his girlfriend (Sarah Li). Along the way he inadvertently teams up with another Chinese tourist...

Though NBC's "Community" had a tumultuous summer, culminating in creator Dan Harmon's high-profile exit and the introduction of two new showrunners (David Guarascio and Moses Port), we would hate to see backstage drama destroy one of the most original, inventive and outlandish comedies on TV today.
When HuffPost TV spoke to the cast at Comic-Con, they had yet to begin filming, so it was hard to gauge how much impact the creative switch would have on the show as a whole. Now, "Community" is a few episodes into filming its new season and Danny Pudi spoke with HuffPost TV about the direction of the show and how he's feeling about Season 4 as a whole. Thankfully, after speaking to Pudi -- who was refreshingly candid and as hilarious as ever -- there's reason to be optimistic about what the new season has in store and about the cast being as...

Even if you keep your profile bare, Facebook can infer your interests from your friends' interests--and target ads towards you, according to a recent patent application.
You think you're so clever. You think you're gaming the system. You hardly put any information on Facebook anyway--you just use it to lurk and occasionally "poke" people--so how can Facebook be mining data, targeting ads, or making money off you at all?
Think again.
A patent application from earlier this month shows that Facebook appears to be finding ways to infer your interests, even though your profile is bare, by looking at the interests of your friends. The theory is that if all your buddies simply adore Mountain Dew, or whatever, then the laws of peer pressure probably mean that you do, too. Reads one section of the patent application: "Rather than missing out on the opportunity to target ads to this latter group of members"--that is,...
