ELISHA CUTHBERT AUDIO EXCERPT: "When you come from a show like '24,' the bar is raised pretty high. Working with Christian before, I knew I was coming into a professional place and I knew it would be a lot of fun... My commitments to '24' are completed now. I think the door is still open, but it's trickier for them because they have to work around 'The Forgotten.'" 

By BOB ANDELMAN

It seems like movie star Christian Slater has at last found solid footing on network television. His ABC series, “The Forgotten,” got off to an admittedly slow start in the ratings when it debuted last fall, but the network stayed with it and so has a growing audience.

Now the show stands to get a boost from the addition of a familiar face: Elisha Cuthbert, who we saw grow up over eight seasons—or days, if you will—of the Fox series, “24.” She’s joining "The Forgotten" as of Tuesday, February 9 in the recurring role of Maxine Denver.

The sound you hear is a million Elisha fanboys around the world giving thanks to God.

Brooke Newton, CSI, GLEE, GARY UNMARRIED actress: Mr. Media Audio Interview

It is well known that I am a sucker for local kid made good stories, so how could I say no to having Brooke Newton on the show?

(And no, it doesn’t hurt that she’s beautiful and a former NFL cheerleader with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.)

Brooke is at an early point in her acting career but she’s certainly getting plenty of opportunities to shine. This week, for example, she’ll be in Thursday’s episode of the CBS crime procedural series, “CSI.” And she’s also shot roles in the CBS sitcom “Gary Unmarried,” which stars Jay Mohr, and the upcoming Fox sitcom, “Glee.”
