‘Billions’ Star Challenges Emmys Male-Female Acting Categories (Exclusive)
5 April 2017 5:41 PM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
On this season’s “Billions,” actor Asia Kate Dillon is stealing scenes as Taylor Mason, the financial wunderkind who is helping Damian Lewis’ Bobby Axelrod scheme his way to fame and fortune.
Showrunners David Levien and Brian Koppelman auditioned cis, trans and gender non-binary actors for the role, and cast Dillon after the third audition. Dillon’s performance not only inspired the writers to give Dillon more to do, but also impressed everyone on set. “Our cast and crew, basically to a person, all came up to us after Asia’s first day with the general attitude of ‘holy s–t that person is amazing,'” report the creators. “And that only grew throughout the season.”
That the star would be a contender for the upcoming Emmy Awards is a given — but when Showtime asked which category Dillon wanted to be submitted under, Dillon had to give it some thought. The »

The following contains plot details from the Season 7 premiere of “Archer” (“Archer: Dreamland”) and teases a few hints for upcoming Season 8 episodes. Reader discretion is advised.
Season 7 of “Archer” ended with one of the show’s biggest cliffhangers: Main character Sterling Archer (voiced by H. Jon Benjamin), floating apparently dead in a swanky Los Angeles swimming pool. He’s not dead, we discover in the first few scenes of Season 8, which debuted Wednesday night on Fxx. But his faithful servant Woodhouse is; and Archer, while alive, has been in a coma for months. The shock is so great that Malory (Jessica Walter) and Lana (Aisha Tyler) are even being cordial to each other as they take turns sitting by his hospital bed.
But while they wait, Archer’s dreaming. “Archer: Dreamland” leaps from the show’s timeline into its protagonist’s dreamscape, in which Archer is the jaded noir detective some part of him always wanted to »

Woodstock will always go down as one if not the biggest rock concerts in the history of the United States. It was held between 15th and 17th of August in 1969, and was the true catalyst of what is now endless music festivals which bring the most famous artists together from all over the world. But Woodstock was obviously so much more. It was a chance for thousands of people to come together in freedom to celebrate being alive. It was a time for protest, war, and political unrest. Woodstock wasn’t just a concert. It was a movement. Looking back
