Halston ~ Gino Franco Rodriguez

“It’s not every day you get the chance to start your acting career like this,” Rodriguez said. “Lots of ups and downs, you hear ‘no’ here, ‘no’ there, and then, just like in the series, you eventually get one ‘yes,’ and then it changes everything.”

Rodriguez immersed himself in the role of Victor Hugo, a Venezuelan window dresser who was Halston’s longtime romantic partner.

This is the latest in a conscious effort by Netflix to ensure adequate representation in its major productions after a study at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg Inclusion Initiative showed that only 4.5 percent of main cast members in Netflix’s U.S. original films and series released in 2018 and 2019 were Latino. Apart from Rodriguez’s casting,
 Mexican American actress and singer Krysta Rodriguez was cast as Liza Minnelli

Fantasy Island ~ reboot of the 80's classic

The clip is brief, but it does introduce the show’s star, Elena Roarke (Roselyn Sanchez, Devious Maids). The character is described as a descendant of the iconic Mr. Roarke from the original show.

https://youtu.be/umBemstRt5o 

The original Fantasy Island debuted in 1977 and ran for seven seasons on ABC. The wish fulfillment  resort was run by the enigmatic Mr. Roarke, played to perfection by a tropical scenery chewing Ricardo Montalbán and was assisted by Tattoo (Hervé Villechaize). A series revival was attempted previously in 1998 by ABC, but the effort

 (starring Malcolm McDowell as Mr. Roarke) lasted only a single season. A horror film prequel version was released by Blumhouse in 2020 to disappointing reviews and box office

~ Still hot as Hell ~ finished 3 eps of Season 5 B ~

Literally. In the game-changing second half of the supernatural fan favorite’s fifth season (having been rescued by Netflix when Fox canceled after it three years), the devil on earth (Tom Ellis, charismatic as ever) faces his heavenly father when God himself pays a visit. And who plays the master of the universe? None other than the formidable Dennis Haysbert, the former president on 24 and immortalized as the longtime spokesman for Allstate.

 We’re in good hands!
