Chicago Fire's Miranda Rae Mayo Praises Taylor Kinney For A Difficult Stunt In The Chicago River

Since its launch in 2012 with "Chicago Fire," the "One Chicago" franchise has been celebrating the lives of the Windy City's hardworking public servants. Not only have audiences gotten to experience the many hard battles and sacrifices these individuals must make in their professional fields every day, but viewers have also been able to grow attached to these characters as if they're friends and family, thanks to the shows' manner of showcasing their personal lives as well.

Donald P. Bellisario and Don McGill's "NCIS" is a television mainstay at this point, enjoying a run on the small screen that spans two decades and counting. While even cast staples like Donald "Ducky" Mallard himself, David McCallum, don't think the show makes much sense anymore, such feelings have done little to turn away its most devoted fans. After all, suddenly dropping a series that's over 400 episodes deep is no simple feat, especially one that's loaded with characters that are so easy for audiences to latch onto emotionally.

Annie Wersching, best known for her appearances in "Bosch," "The Rookie," and "24," had died. The actor was 45. Deadline confirms that the actor died of cancer early morning on Sunday January 29. She is survived by her husband and three young children. Wersching was diagnosed with cancer in 2020. Following her diagnosis, the actor continued to work on several productions, including "Star Trek: Picard," which saw her appear as the Borg Queen. Her most recent project included Nathan Fillion's "The Rookie" and motion capture work for BioWare's "Anthem" video game.

After 'Gunsmoke,' the actor faced health challenges that ultimately killed her. Here's Amanda Blake's cause of death and a possible reason why her friends said she died of throat cancer.

The "Law & Order" and "One Chicago" franchises aren't known for presenting larger-than-life villains, but Greg Yates (Dallas Roberts) -– a character originally brought in for the 2015 crossover between "Chicago Fire," "Chicago P.D.," and "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" – is an exception. Yates is considered to be one of the show's big, scary villains thanks to his smarts, charm, and intelligence, which often puts him a step or two ahead of the police.

Fans of "Justified" have been waiting eagerly to see what Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) has been up to over the past eight years. "Justified: City Primeval" is set to catch fans up with everyone's favorite U.S. Marshal, who moved back to Florida after the events of "Justified" but is now headed to Detroit to try to take down Clement Mansel (Boyd Holbrook), known as "The Oklahoma Wildman." Mansel is an elusive serial killer whose assassination of a judge has made him world-famous, and he has continued to kill while reveling in his notoriety. Raylan has his daughter, Willa (played by Olyphant's real-life daughter, Vivian Olyphant), in tow, which will likely make the case an even stickier and more dangerous prospect for him.

Scottish actor David McCallum is still in the business at the age of 89 and still going relatively strong in the role of medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard on the ever-popular "NCIS." In fact, McCallum is the last remaining original member of the show's cast, having been with the program since Season 1, although in recent years he only shows up on a handful of episodes per season (he also played the character on the two-part "Jag" episode from which "NCIS" was spun off).

It would seem that being on a show as inclusive and diverse as "Modern Family" would make any actor feel welcome. But for Reid Ewing, who portrayed Dylan Marshall in the series, that wasn't always the case. From 2009 to 2020, "Modern Family" chronicled the hectic lives of three different...

Contains spoilers for "The Last of Us" Episode 3 – "Long Long Time" We don't want to call it too soon, but HBO's "The Last of Us" may have just reached its pinnacle. The critically-acclaimed show's third episode is not only the best of the series so far — it's arguably also the best bit of standalone television that we've seen to date in 2023. The most impressive thing is that the strength of this episode doesn't come from our leading pair of Joel and Ellie (Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey). Instead, "Long Long Time" plunges viewers into the world of two crucial characters from the game that the TV show's version of Ellie never even gets to meet. In a whopping 75-minute episode, we are finally introduced to Bill and Frank (Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett), and we spend most of that runtime watching them find second chances in each other in a world gone to hell.

For 11 seasons, Showtime's "Shameless" depicted the dysfunctional American family, the Gallaghers. They were spearheaded by patriarch Frank (William H. Macy), whose drug use and alcoholism often negatively impacted the people he was supposed to care for. As a result, Frank's kids typically had to fend for themselves and figure out how to make it in this crazy world despite growing up in abject poverty. From jumping around different jobs to trying to go to school, the Gallaghers did everything they could think of to escape their precarious circumstances.

The "NCIS" franchise has produced its share of spin-offs, but "NCIS: Los Angeles" still stands as its most successful. The spin-off started in 2009, and throughout its run on TV, it cemented itself as a consistent hit, as it outlasted others like "NCIS: NY" and NCIS: New Orleans." The show traded in the main series' nation capital setting for the sunny west coast. But despite a location change, the spin-off continued the tradition of combining thrilling crime-focused stories with a stellar cast. In this regard, among the L.A. branch office's ranks includes former LAPD Detective turned agent Marty Deeks, played by Eric Christian Olsen.

Fulgencio Joseph "Joe" Pritchett, the son of Gloria (Sofia Vergara) and Jay Pritchett (Ed O'Neill) on ABC's "Modern Family," had been played by other young actors as an infant and later as a toddler, but Jeremy Maguire ended up appearing as Joe from 2015 to 2020, shooting 91 episodes of the sitcom. According to TVLine, producers cast Maguire to be "rough and tumble," sort of the opposite of Manny (Rico Rodriguez).
