PLAYING HOUSE: Lennon Parham and Jessica St. Clair on Getting Guest Star Kenny Loggins

PLAYING HOUSE went all out for its second season finale: the beloved USA Network comedy nabbed Kenny Loggins for a guest spot.

Emma and Maggie’s love of Loggins’ music was a delightful part of the series (starting all the way back with the pilot), and the finale finds the duo trying to get into one of his concerts. (Loggins plays himself in the episode.)

I was on the set of the PLAYING HOUSE finale — right before creators/stars Lennon Parham (Maggie) and Jessica St. Clair (Emma) met/filmed with Loggins — and the duo was still giddy about landing him for their show.

GOTHAM: James Frain Joins Season 2 Cast

GOTHAM has landed a new villain: James Frain (who recurs on ORPHAN BLACK and appears in TRUE DETECTIVE season 2) has joined the Fox drama’s sophomore season as Theo Galavan — the brother of villainess-to-be, Tabitha/Tigress — a rep for the show has confirmed.

According to Deadline — who was first to report the casting — Theo is “the savior the city has been waiting for — he is sexy, heroic, and lovingly devoted to his sister Tabitha.” But, naturally, things aren’t exactly as they seem: “behind Galavan’s altruism is a centuries-old vendetta. Galavan and Tabitha (aka Tigress) will take chaos and violence to a new level in order to bleed Gotham. Their plan will lead to the creation of new villains… and the destruction of others.”

Are you excited to see Frain on GOTHAM?
