Arrow Constantine Episode Description Revealed

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22490:]]

We can thank Arrow for saving Constantine as Matt Ryan will be appearing on the fifth episode of Season 4 “Haunted.”

The CW has now released the official description for the episode:

MATT RYAN REPRISES HIS ROLE AS JOHN CONSTANTINE ON ARROW — When things take a turn for the worse with Sara (guest star Caity Lotz), Oliver (Stephen Amell) calls in a favor from an old friend who deals in the mystical,  John Constantine (guest star Matt Ryan).  John Badham directed the episode written by Brian Ford Sullivan & Oscar Balderrama. 

NBC recently cancelled Constantine much to the disastifaction of fans everywhere with a #SaveConstantine campaign launched which ended up with Matt Ryan appearing on Arrow. No other network has picked up the series. It’s always possible Ryan could star in the Justice League Dark movie that is currently in development, but with WB keeping their movie and TV universes separate, that may be unlikely.

“Arrow” airs Wednesdays at 8pm ET starring Stephen Amell, Emily Bett Rickards, David Ramsey, Willa Holland, Katie Cassidy, Paul Blackthorne and John Barrowman.

Stephen Amell Says Batman in Arrow & A Movie Appearance Is Possible

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21812:]]

Prior to Stephen Amell’s debut in the squared circle later tonight for SummerSlam, the actor stopped by Wizard World Chicago.

Amell talked about a range of topics, which happened to include the Dark Knight potentially appearing in the Arrow universe as well as the possibility of Amell appearing in the DC Cinematic Universe.

Regarding Batman appearing on Arrow, Amell admitted it would be “tough,” but did state it’s possible.

“In the same way that [Ezra Miller’s] playing the Flash in the cinematic universe – theoretically, we haven’t seen him yet – I see no reason why we couldn’t have our own Bruce Wayne. That’s my opinion; that might not be DC’s opinion, and they’re the bosses.”

Amell has been a fan-favorite choice to play the Green Arrow in the DCCU as well, and the actor has not been silent about wanting to appear in the movie universe. Amell says it’s not like his contract forbids it, so technically it’s possible.

“Whenever I talk to people, it’s like, ‘this is an evolving process,'” Amell offered. “And there’s absolutely no contractual barriers and/or creative barriers between me and being in a movie, one of the DC movies.” 

Speaking of Ezra Miller, Miller recently mentioned that his version of The Flash and the Grant Gustin Flash actually exist in parallel universes, which brings up speculation of some sort of Crisis event, in which the DC multiverses collide. There hasn’t been any hints or mention that may actually happen, but it always exists and would make for a pretty cool two part Justice League movie.

Amell also let it be known he has been filming Constantine scenes all week with Matt Ryan (via CBM).

“Arrow” Season 2 premiers Wednesday, October 7th.

“Powerless” DC Comedy TV Series Coming To NBC

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21736:]]

NBC decided to forgo Season 2 of Constantine for some reason, but now it’s learned they are not done with DC just yet.

Deadline reports NBC is developing a new DC comedy series said to be in the vein of The Office, but with super heroes, titled Powerless (and a lot similar to Marvel Comics’ Damage Control).

It’s said Powerless will be a half-hour single-camera comedy from A To Z creator Ben Queen and Warner Bros. TV based on characters from DC Comics that is a workplace comedy set at one of the worst insurance companies in America — with the twist being that it also takes place in the universe of DC Comics. 

The show is about the “reality of working life for a normal, powerless person in a world of superheroes and villains.”

It’s currently unknown which DC characters will appear on Powerless, but the report mentions not to expect the DC heavyweights like Batman or Superman (i.e. movie properties).

The focus of the series is on the ordinary, “power-less” folk working at the insurance company who often envy the men and women outside their window who make headlines with their supernatural powers.

Watch: Matt Ryan Confirms Constantine For Arrow

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21682:]]

Arrow has saved Constantine.

While the series may not be returning, it’s confirmed that Matt Ryan will be reprising as Constantine in an upcoming episode of Arrow.

Matt Ryan took to his Twitter account to post the following video that the rumors are true.

Likewise, Stephen Amell took to Twitter to respond with: “Hey, Matty… Welcome to Arrow!”

When NBC recently cancelled Constantine, Stephen Amell came out supporting the series stating he would even guest star on the show if it ended up getting picked up at another network. While that didn’t happen, at least Constantine will live on for one more episode this season on Arrow.

Update: EP Marc Guggenheim offered the following details (via TVInsider.com):

“We are super-crazy excited about this,” Guggenheim said of the “one-time-only deal,” which is currently scheduled for the fifth episode of Arrow‘s upcoming season. “Each year on the show, we have added and expanded the mythology with different elements. In Season 2 we introduced the idea of superpowers, last year brought in the League of Assassins, and for Season 4, we always had a plan to introduce magic and mysticism. We were already swimming in those waters and that’s why Constantine is this great organic little development.”

Guggenheim teases Constantine is brought into the series as a result of Sara Lance’s resurrection through use of the Lazarus Pit.

 “Unlike Thea, who wasn’t fully dead, the consequences of using the pit on someone as dead as Sara was creates some unforeseen difficulties…and John Constantine is uniquely suited to help our team deal with those,” Guggenheim offered.

Guggenheim also says Matt Ryan will look like his usual hell blazing self, and that an original director is on board Arrow to helm the episode.

“The trench coat, the tie, the shirt…the whole wardrobe is being taken out for storage and shipped up to Vancouver.” Guggenheim said, adding tht John Badham, a director on Constantine, is also on board to direct the episode. “He is familiar with Constantine and Matt Ryan, so it’s a wonderful combination.”

Check out the video announcement by Matt Ryan and the tweet by Stephen Amell:

Stephen Amell Wants Constantine In Arrow Season 4

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21397:]]

When NBC cancelled Constantine, there were talks the show may move to the CW or Netflix, and Stephen Amell even offered to guest star.

While it seems everyone passed on Constantine, it’s learned Matt Ryan’s future may not be over as the Hellblazer as IGN caught up with Arrow executive producer Wendy Mericle and Amell at Comic-Con who offer some hope.

“Yeah, we really want to do it,” Mericle said of having Constantine appear on Arrow. “It’s something we’ve been talking to DC about, and it’s just a question of some political things, but also the actor’s schedule. We’re trying to work it out, but we don’t know 100 percent if it’s going to happen.”

“Fingers crossed,” added Amell.

“But we’re really optimistic and we would love to have him,” Mericle offered.

It’s still unknown exacly why Constantine didn’t get picked up elsewhere as the series did have higher ratings than some of the CW shows. Honestly, I’m almost beginning to wonder if it’s something more to do with Warner Bros. internally and possibly either David Goyer, who seems to be out of the picture as of late, or maybe the planned Justice League Dark movie, which will feature a Constantine as well. WB already put the kibosh on the Suicide Squad on TV, maybe something similar went down with Constantine?

Save Hannibal Campaign Launched

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21124:]]

Earlier saw news that NBC had cancelled Hannibal following three seasons.

Now a “Save Hannibal” campaign has been launched by fans of the series as well as the producers.

Variety reports Hannibal is not going away quietly as producers Gaumont Intl. Television and Martha De Laurentiis of the De Laurentiis Co. are actively shopping the show to new buyers, ranging from digital outlets to cable channels.

It’s also reported Hannibal had plans to introduce the Clarice Starling character in Season 4, who was played by Jodie Foster in the Oscar-winning 1991 Silence of the Lambs movie.

A change.org petition has also been launched requesting NBC save Hannibal, which presently has over 12,000 signatures.

Matt Ryan Disappointed Constantine Isn’t Returning

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20925:]]

Following the news that Constantine won’t be picked up by another network – signaling the show’s demise – series lead Matt Ryan has taken to Twitter to voice his disappointment and thank fans.

“Very disappointed that we are not continuing this journey, will miss playing john. You guys never gave up, I thank you all,” tweeted Ryan.

Showrunner Daniel Cerone announced a couple of days ago that following NBC’s decision to not move forward with Season 2, that no other network had picked up Constantine.

“The cast and writers of Constantine are being released from their contracts,” Cerone said in part a previous statement. “The studio tried to find a new home for the show, for which we’re forever grateful, but those efforts didn’t pan out.”

NBC executives previously cited live ratings as the reason for cancelling Constantine; however, the ratings were higher than most of the DC shows on the CW, but as to why Constantine didn’t end up on the CW network is unknown. Likewise, Constantine could have found a new home on NBC’s sister network, SyFy, but it’s also unknown why that didn’t happen.

Perhaps with Constantine now officially over, details as to how the series was going to move forward will become known as Season 1 ended on a cliffhanger. A few scripts from additional Season 1 episodes of Constantine also exist that didn’t get a chance to air, which were going to be spun into Season 2. At one time, it was even said plans for a Spectre spinoff were being talked about.

Constantine Officially Over

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20895:]]

Constantine is officially cancelled.

Following NBC not renewing the series for a second season, showrunner Daniel Cerone released the following statement that states no other network has picked up Constantine.

I promised I’d share news when I had it — sadly, that news is not good. The cast and writers of Constantine are being released from their contracts. The studio tried to find a new home for the show, for which we’re forever grateful, but those efforts didn’t pan out. I’m sorry, I wasn’t provided any information on the attempts to sell the show elsewhere. All I can report is that the show is over. 

Many ingredients went into this TV series. From the dedicated cast that breathed these characters to life, led by Matt Ryan as the comic-made-flesh embodiment of John Constantine, to the exceptionality talented crew that put unreal images on screen, to the original Hellblazer writers and artists who gifted us a universe. 

As a general principle, writers don’t choose a writing career to achieve stardom. Whatever demons or insecurities drove them to find freedom of expression through written words generally keeps writers comfortably obscure behind their words. Nor do people choose writing as a means to financial freedom. I’d venture to guess that most who set out to write professionally never receive a paycheck for their hopeful scribbles or key strokes. 

In fact, nobody I know ever chose a writing career — it chose them. You write because that’s what you do. Like breathing, it just happens and you have to do it and you just hope that someday somebody out there notices what you’re trying to say. 

If that’s the dream of writers, than the writers of Constantine lived the dream, because we’re leaving behind wild and passionate fans who believe in and were moved by what we tried to do. To leave such a significant, dedicated and active fan base on the table — that’s the real sadness. You all deserve many years of the series we set out to make, and we’re disappointed that we couldn’t deliver that to you. The good news is that Constantine will live on for years in many more forms. But our time as caretakers has ended. 

Thank you for letting us in.

CW President Says Constantine Move Is Just A Rumor

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20551:]]

It looks as if Constantine‘s fire is almost out, sad to say, as the CW didn’t announce they are picking up the series at the Upfronts.

In addition, CW president Mark Pedowitz stated it’s just a rumor that Constantine was going to move over to the CW and insinuated it had as much of a chance as him playing in the NBA.

 “At the moment, it’s just a rumor,” Pedowitz said at a morning conference call. “There’s also a rumor going around that I was going to play for the NBA.”

Constantine showrunner Daniel Cerone also is said to have deleted a tweet that read it’s not looking good for Constantine at the CW.

Cerone has since updated with: “Tough morning. Feeling your disappointment. Touched by the continued enthusiasm.”

Constantine In Talks With The CW; Amell & Guggenheim Talk Shared Universe

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20518:]]

A few days ago NBC released their Fall schedule, which didn’t include Constantine.

The network decided not to renew the series for a second season, but the hell blazing series isn’t done just yet.

It’s possible Constantine might be resurrected at another network, with The CW a top choice.

Showrunner Daniel Cerone has now given an update in that Constantine and the CW are currently in talks.

“No updates on CW front other than both sides are talking,” Cerone tweeted.

Star of Arrow, Stephen Amell, as well as Supernatural‘s Mark Sheppard, voiced their support for the series recently, with Amell even offering to guest star.

“Hey TV Networks / Netflix and the like… If you pick up the show, I’ll guest star. Can’t wait,” Amell posted on his popular social networks.

Amell continued talking about Constantine at this past weekend’s Philadelphia Comic-Con where he let it be known he talked with DC about being featured on the series.

“Constantine was an NBC show. I’m on The CW. I had had discussions with DC — so not NBC, not CW — but with DC Entertainment about guest starring on Constantine when it was still on the air. And that was and is still on the table,” Amell said. “The reason that I was going to guest star on Constantine, at least the idea that we were throwing around, was he’s an expert when it comes to the Lazarus Pit, which is now something that is a part of and will continue to be a part of Arrow.”

Recently, Arrow/Flash showrunner Marc Guggenheim also offered “there’s a lot of desire on everyone’s part” to bring Constantine into the DC shared universe fold.

“It would be wonderful and we certainly have a million ideas,” Guggenheim told Variety. “It’s hard for me to say mainly because A: it’s not my decision to make and B: with Constantine being shopped around to other networks… it’s really hard to make plans when a show’s kind of in limbo.”

Guggenheim continues with mention Constantine could work at the CW – and even has a particular idea if the talks can work out.

“There a lot of the pieces are in place, except for that one final piece, which is: what’s the fate of Constantine? That’s the tricky thing. But it comes up in the writers’ room constantly — we have a number of ideas; one idea that’s particularly exciting to me. We’re in a little bit of a wait-and-see mode, like you guys are.”

While NBC has failed Constantine, Arrow star Stephen Amell is attempting to save the day as the popular actor has taken to his social networks to voice support for the recently cancelled series.

Earlier saw NBC announce they will not order a Season 2 for Constantine, which led to showrunner Daniel Cerone taking to Twitter to offer he is shopping the series to other networks with the hope of Constantine landing on the CW.

Now Amell has joined in on the mix by tweeting:

#SaveConstantine — Hey TV Networks / Netflix and the like… If you pick up the show, I’ll guest star. Can’t wait.

Constantine & Queen want to get shit done. Let’s make it happen. #Constantine

Which was followed by Constantine star Matt Ryan’s reply:

man, it would be a real pleasure to explore these Guys dynamic #Constantine #SaveConstantine

The CW is the current home of Arrow, The Flash, iZombie and the upcoming spinoff DC’s Legends Of Tomorrrow.

Constantine Officially Cancelled; Being Shopped Around To Other Networks

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20467:]]

NBC has officially cancelled Constantine, but the future of the series may not be done just yet.

Today NBC decided not to move forward with Constantine Season 2, which follows the network’s decision not to order a full series for Season 1 earlier in the year. NBC executives previously blamed the live ratings for the decision. 

Don’t give up hope just yet as now showrunner Daniel Cerone is shopping Constantine to other networks, with the CW the current favorite.

The CW is already home of The Flash, Arrow, iZombie and the upcoming DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow spinoff, so Constantine could find a home there. In addition, The CW’s ratings requirements aren’t as high as NBC, and The CW is owned in part by Warner Bros. Constantine actually has higher ratings than both Arrow and iZombie, which The CW recently renewed.

Cerone took to his Twitter to note a ratings low at NBC would be a hit at many of the other networks.

Earlier this morning Cerone also asked fans to tweet with the hashtag #SaveConstantine at the start of the NBC meeting. The show regularly tops Twitter whenever it broadcasts, and now it does more of the same as Cerone showed off the fact that Constantine was trending #2 on Twitter to the execs.

Now Matt Ryan Says Constantine Is Not Cancelled

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20091:]]

#SaveConstantine

That may be the case as after a report stated NBC had confirmed the cancellation of Constantine, showrunner Daniel Cerone (and William Shatner!) came out on Twitter stating that wasn’t the case.

Now series star, Matt Ryan, has joined them as Ryan also posted on Twitter, “Constantine is not cancelled. Keep the faith everyone.”

Constantine‘s future has been up in the air ever since NBC didn’t order a full season. In addition, NBC executives made negative remarks about the show’s live ratings, but did offer that when DVR and online viewings are factored in, Constantine does well; however, the execs stressed the live ratings were the more important.

There was also the rumor that Constantine would move over to NBC’s sister network, the SyFy channel (NBC Universal owns both) and be renamed Hellblazer; however, that has since been shot down.

Showrunner Daniel Cerone did previously state he would be pitching Season 2 of Constantine this month to NBC, with it probable we would find out whether or not it gets greenlit, at the latest, by next month.

Angélica Celaya also mentioned in a previous interview that the episodes from Season 1 that didn’t get a chance to air would be moved to Season 2, and Celaya seemed to think Constantine Season 2 was happening.

Of all the current comic book TV shows, I have to say Constantine was right up there as one of my favorites, and also one I considered a “must watch.” It’s a good show, hopefully NBC greenlights Season 2.

Now Constantine Said To Be Not Cancelled

Earlier saw a report stating NBC had confirmed the cancellation of Constantine.

Now, however, it’s being said that Constantine is not cancelled.

Showrunner Daniel Cerone has taken to Twitter to offer the news of Constantine getting cancelled is just a rumor.

William Shatner, a fan of the series, has even chimed in that he read Constantine is not cancelled as well.

Cerone previously tweeted he would like Shatner to be a part of Season 2, and Cerone also previously stated he will be pitching the second season to NBC later this month.

So with Cerone stating that Constantine is not yet cancelled, at least there is hope for a second season, which we should be hearing whether or not is moving forward by next month.

NBC Cancels Constantine

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20051:]]

NBC has confirmed cancellation of Constantine.

Update: Showrunner Daniel Cerone has said Contstantine is not cancelled.

A blogger for BuzzFeed posted an article about network renewals and cancellations where she tweeted she fact-checked the information with every network.

Constantine has been on the bubble ever since NBC didn’t order a full series for the first Season.

Fans of the series quickly took to social networks in an attempt to save the series with the #SaveConstantine hashtag, which regularly trended worldwide.

Showrunner Daniel Cerone has been vocal on Twitter as well. His last tweet as of April 6th read that NBC invited him to pitch Constantine Season 2 in late April, and added Constantine was not dead and to stay hopeful.

Now with, apparently, NBC confirming the cancellation of Constantine with BuzzFeed, it seems all hope for a Season 2 is gone.

There were rumblings that Constantine could be picked up by NBC’s sister network, SyFy; however, an exec for SyFy stated the rumor wasn’t true.

If Constantine was going to continue, scripts for Season 1 episodes that weren’t used, would have been spun into Season 2.

The finale of Constantine saw a big reveal, which explained a lot, but also left fans with more questions than answers and the desire to see more.

Previously, NBC executives offered the reason for the potential cancellation of Constantine was due to live-viewings not getting high enough ratings, though subsequent DVR and online viewings were said to do well.

Warner Bros. will be using Constantine in the Guillermo del Toro Justice League Dark movie, which is separate than the TV show, but Guillermo delo Toro did state he would be open to using Matt Ryan.

Constantine Not Cancelled; Season 2 A Possibility

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19263:]]

Constantine recently aired its season finale, and with it remains the question whether or not we’ll get to see a Season 2.

Seeing how Season 1 ended, I have to say we better get a Season 2, and that is not only to see more from Jim Corrigan and the Spectre, but also to see how Constantine will deal with what happened at the conclusion of the episode. 

NBC didn’t order additional episodes past the initial thirteen, and they haven’t yet decided to greenlight Season 2.

Fans have been taking to social media with #SaveConstantine to voice their support.

Showrunner Daniel Cerone has also been vocal on Twitter as he regularly live-tweets the series and offers updates.

The latest tweets from Cerone offer that fans should watch Constantine where it’s available online and on-demand. 

Cerone also says we might not find out if Constantine has a Season 2 until May as that is when the networks will decide their plans for next Fall.

Daniel Cerone also teased the fans by revealing they have additional season one scripts for episodes 14-16.

Angelica Celaya, who plays Zed in the series, stated in an interview that the episodes that didn’t get a chance to air will be pushed to Season 2.

Cerone also added that Constantine is an expensive show; stating it’s not cancelled as, again, they will pitch NBC new episodes come May.

You can watch episodes of Constantine on NBC, Hulu, Amazon and iTunes.

Stephen Amell Talks Potential Arrow Crossovers With Supergirl & More

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19088:]]

Star of Arrow, Stephen Amell, recently attended the Dallas Comic-Con where he talked about potential crossovers with other shows.

A fan recorded the QnA, which you can watch below.

Here are some excerpts, which looks to include a potential spoiler as Amell seemingly confirms The Lazarus Pit.

On Supergirl:

It would be cool to crossover with Supergirl because it’s something with Greg Berlanti who is the helmer and sort of the brain trust, or the center of the brain trust of Arrow and The Flash, and I know so many of the people that are involved in the production of the show, so that would be really interesting.

Gotham:

Gotham would be a tough one, just beacuse I think they’re out in a different time, but the crossover with The Flash was so much fun and did so well that I can’t imagine a world – a universe (no pun intended) – where that didn’t happen and continue to happen all the time.

Constantine:

It would be interesting to cross over with Constantine, only because he knows a lot about the Lazarus Pit, which is something that we’ve introduced in the show this year.

Amell also talks fighting Ra’s al Ghul and its affect on Oliver and more in the video below.

Arrow airs Wednesdays at 8pm ET on the CW.

NBC has renewed new seasons for The Blacklist (season 3), Chicago Fire (season 4), Chicago P.D. (season 3), Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (season 17) and Grimm (season 5) for the 2015-16 season.

It’s guessed NBC needs to decide if Constantine will get a second season rather quickly as the actors will need to set their schedules or obviously move on to other projects.

Ratings for Constantine have been up and down, with the DVR viewings being high; however, network executives stated the problem was with live viewership, insinuating it needs to be better to warrant further episodes.

It’s possible Constantine could see a network change, perhaps airing on SyFy, which is owned by NBC Universal as well.

Showrunner Daniel Cerone has been hopeful on Twitter for a second season.

Constantine airs on the same night as Grimm and recently moved to the preceding timeslot on Fridays at 8pm ET.

Eclipso Diamond Coming To Constantine

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18960:]]

Fans of DC Comics continue to get nods and Easter Eggs in the Constantine TV series.

The latest is that the Eclipso diamond will be featured in episode 12.

Showrunner Daniel Cerone told CBR: “We had such an embarrassment of riches with those comic books. I’m literally just leaving playback right now for episode 12. We utilize a black diamond which has an iconic mythology around that in the DC Universe. We did our version of the black diamond. Yes, we use the mythology as an inspiration for that episode.”

Cerone doesn’t specifically mention whether Eclipso will be featured, but the character would make a good pairing with the series as Eclispo is a demon who uses the gem – known as the Heart Of Darkness which was found on the planet of Apokalips as a weapon for Darkseid – to exert his influence over people.

Another bonus is that Eclipso was the first Spirit of Vengeance, prior to The Spectre, who went bad. The Spectre is also set to appear on the following episode of Constantine, episode 13, the last episode of Season 1.

Constantine airs Fridays at 8pm ET on NBC.

Constantine Ratings Up; Possible Network Move & William Shatner Is A Fan

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18868:]]

Good news for fans of Constantine as yesterday’s episode saw a rise in ratings.

NBC released official stats stating Constantine had its most watched episode last night since the November 21st episode featuring Jim Corrigan and the Spectre.

Though Constantine saw a drop in ratings with last week’s episode, which was the first episode to debut at 8pm ET, yesterday’s rose by around 400,000 viewers.

Last night’s Constantine delivered 3.48 million viewers with a .9 rating, which is up from last week’s 3.06 million and .8 rating.

In addition, NBC announced that Constantine sees a substantial rise in viewers when 7-Day DVR/online-viewing is factored in as viewership rises by more than 1.8 million viewers overall from 3.4 million to 5.3 million.

NBC also stated the coveted 18-49 ratings demographic among advertisers has increased by 79% when time-shifting is factored in.

The bad news is that the long-term DVR/online viewing doesn’t seem to be a big factor with networks as the higher live-viewing numbers are more preferable because of the advertisements. Recently, NBC executives stated Constantine has a big viewership after it airs, but it’s live-viewing “is challenging,” when questioned about a potential for Season 2.

There may be some light at the end of the tunnel, though, as showrunner Daniel Cerone recently hinted Constantine could possibly move to another network. Cerone also tweeted he would like to do more episodes of Constantine, with specific mention of the Monkey King, who was named in last night’s episode. Cerone also added if they do get a Season 2, he would like William Shatner to appear in an episode.

Speaking of William Shatner, it’s also learned that the first Captain Kirk is a fan of Constantine, as Shatner live-tweeted last night’s episode, as did Cerone.

Constantine airs Fridays at 8pm ET on NBC starring Matt Ryan, Charles Halford, Angelica Celaya and Harold Perrineau.
