Dark Winds and Blood Quantum actor Kiowa Gordon and Sera-Lys McArthur (Café Daughter, Outlander) have joined the cast of Many Wounds, a contemporary re-imagining of Lee Tamahori’s ground-breaking 1994 Maori film Once Were Warriors, set among indigenous communities in Canada.
Skye Pelletier (Prey) stars in Many Wounds as Mashka, a young teenager on the cusp of being swallowed up by a colonial system meant to further the goals of assimilation who becomes a warrior to protect his family.
Ojibway filmmaker Jeremy Torrie, who wrote and is directing Many Wounds, and producing the film together with Métis producer Tanya Brunel, said he drew on his own personal, painful experiences growing up indigenous in Winnipeg for the script.
“Our intention with this film is to reveal some uncomfortable truths about the effects of generations of forced assimilation and genocide by the Canadian government toward our peoples for a society largely unaware of how deep the wounds go,...

If you wondered how well change would fare for our favorite earth-bound alien, by the end of Resident Alien Season 3 Episode 2, it's clear there was nothing to fear.
Cast members change, and storylines evolve, but Harry Vanderspeigel remains the same. His inner reflections often betray his actions, much to our enjoyment.
The other Patience residents are also in self-discovery mode, which has given new life to the series, which is now in its third season. That's not always an easy accomplishment, but Chris Sheridan does it with ease.
How Does More People Knowing Harry's Secret Impact the Story?
Early in the series, Harry spent a good portion of his time learning to live as a human (dun dun!). The rest of his time was devoted to dispelling any creeping notions of humanity while keeping his origins a secret.
Thankfully, Harry continues to push back against his mental human evolution as...

Robin Williams and Pam Dawber both got to know each other pretty well working on the hit television show Mork & Mindy. After the series ended, their careers would go down different paths. But after three decades, the pair found those paths converging in the series The Crazy Ones.

Dawber continued to be a presence on television for a while after her Mork & Mindy days. She headlined another sitcom in the 1980s, My Sister Sam, where she played the titular character. She offered her talents to a few other shows, like The Twilight Zone before taking a sabbatical from the film industry. Her break from acting allowed Dawber to devote more time to being a mom.

"Mork & Mindy" originated as a spin-off from the "Happy Days" season 5 episode "My Favorite Orkan" which aired in 1978. According to the Robin Williams documentary "Come Inside My Mind," the episode was created to capitalize on a little-known movie called "Star Wars" that "Happy Days" creator Garry Marshal's son loved.
At the time, Williams was a recent Julliard graduate still awaiting his big break and quickly gaining a reputation as an off-the-wall local street performer. Faster than you can say "Nanu Nanu," Robin Williams' casting on "Mork & Mindy" launched him to stardom. His quirky, quick-witted improvisations, voices, and pratfalls were perfect for the out-of-this-world character of Mork. The show itself aired for four solid seasons from 1978 to 1982. Since then, several members of the series' cast — including the beloved Williams — have sadly passed away. However, one of the main stars is still living to this day.

Those annual airings of the James Stewart classic It’s a Wonderful Life have had an effect: Many a TV show has paid homage to the 1946 film with a special episode. What are the ingredients? A main character who wonders what would have happened if they’d never been around, a guardian angel to provide the answer—and a haywire alternate history. Here are some of our favorite life changers. 1. Mork & Mindy In “It’s a Wonderful Mork,” the title alien (Robin Williams) stays on planet Ork—and his would-be Earthling friends suffer. Mindy (Pam Dawber) is wed to a gambler named Cliff. “I hope you fall off your name!” Mork sputters. Pluto TV, Prime Video 2. Moonlighting What if Maddie Hayes (Cybill Shepherd) had never kept Blue Moon Investigations open? “It’s a Wonderful Job” reveals it would have turned into the Hart detective agency. Hulu 3. Night Court “Hey Harry,...

John Larroquette, who played Assistant District Attorney Dan Fielding on both editions of NBC sitcom Night Court, remembered his costar Richard Moll today in a tribute on social media.
Moll, best known as the towering bailiff “Bull Shannon” on Night Court, died Oct. 26 at his home in Big Bear Lake, Calif. He was 80 and no cause was given by his family.
Larroquette, Harry Anderson, and Moll were the only characters to appear in every episode of the earlier sitcom. Larroquette won Emmy Awards in four consecutive years for his work on the show, a record at the time. The original Night Court ran from 1984 to 1992, and Larroquette was the only regular character from the earlier show to go on to the 2023 series continuation.
His social media post:
