STUMPTOWN’s Michael Ealy on Embracing the Unknown in the ABC Drama

For some actors, knowing as much about their characters—and having it on the page—is key. But for STUMPTOWN’s Michael Ealy, who plays Detective Miles Hoffman on the new ABC drama, he was drawn in by what he didn’t know about his character…and the show as a whole. But what he did know? It was special.

“This group is so unique and filled with real people,” Michael Ealy says. “It’s representative, it’s smart, and it’s fresh.”

The series follows Dex Parios, a vet-turned-private investigator who ends up working with the police to solve cases. Ealy’s Hoffman is Dex’s police contact—and occasional partner in bed. But this isn’t exactly a tortured love story; neither is pining for more.

Ealy dives into the duo’s complicated dynamic, why he took a chance on STUMPTOWN, how his time on ALMOST HUMAN changed his approach to television, and more…

THE FOLLOWING Exclusive Sneak Peek: Producers, Michael Ealy Tease Theo and Ryan Meeting

Things are heating up for THE FOLLOWING’s newest big bad, Theo.

In the exclusive video preview of this Monday’s new hour, “Flesh & Blood,” (below) co-showrunner Alexi Hawley shared, “Episode 8 is a big moment in the hunt for Theo…and he ultimately ends up having to scramble to keep us away from him during the course of the episode.”

“He’s created this whole life that is sort of perfect,” co-showrunner Brett Mahoney added. “And that’s why he truly resents Ryan getting on to him. No one has really done this before.”

Additionally, we’ll get to see a bit of parallels between the two as they have to deal with pressures outside of the chase: Theo has to throw a party for his wife, while Ryan has to attend a dinner party with his girlfriend. But those external forces won’t compare to the real explosive moment of the hour: when Ryan and Theo have their first “meeting.”

“The episode where Ryan and Theo meet, that’s where the fireworks will begin,” Michael Ealy (Theo) teased. “It’s a smart chess match between the two.”

Check out the video for more teases, and a little glimpse at what’s to come…

THE FOLLOWING Bosses on a Ryan Hardy-Centric Season 3, Michael Ealy’s New Big Bad, and More

We’re just three weeks away from the two-hour season premiere of THE FOLLOWING, and things are set to be a bit different when the show returns.

First of all, the Joe Carroll chapter of the series is over. While Carroll made it out alive (and James Purefoy’s Carroll will appear on the show)  — thanks to an alternate ending not making the final cut —  the focus of the show will shift more fully to Kevin Bacon’s Ryan Hardy. (And Ryan will have to contend with a new baddie this season.)

There’s also been a behind-the-scenes transition in showrunners, as THE FOLLOWING creator Kevin Williamson has handed over showrunner duties to a trio of show vets: writers/executive producers Brett Mahoney and Alexi Hawley, as well as director/executive producer Marcos Siega. (Williamson has been focused on CBS’ STALKER.)

I spoke with Mahoney and Hawley about the transition to showrunning THE FOLLOWING, “moving the center of the show,” why fans of THE FOLLOWING newbie Michael Ealy will be excited by the season, and more…

THE FOLLOWING Season 3: ALMOST HUMAN’s Michael Ealy Lands a Series Regular Role

Former ALMOST HUMAN star ‎Michael Ealy is staying in the Fox family: a rep for the show has confirmed that Ealy will join THE FOLLOWING in season 3. According to Deadline, Ealy will be a series regular.

Details about Ealy’s character (including his name/first episode) are being kept on the DL for now, but according to TVLine, he’ll play a “brilliant, chameleon-like murderer who’ll test Ryan Hardy’s limits.”

ALMOST HUMAN Exclusive Video: Behind-the-Scenes of ‘Skin’

ALMOST HUMAN made its time period debut last night with “Skin,” an episode that found Kennex and Dorian dealing with sexbots that were genetically spruced up with real (human) DNA. And while sexbots are OK in 2048, stealing human DNA to make them more lifelike is so not kosher, and our team was called in to shut things down. (Man, it’s crazy to think what kind of problems we may have to deal with in the future!)

In this exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette from “Skin,” you can get a glimpse of how they filmed the big takedown scene, with added insight from ALMOST HUMAN stars Michael Ealy (Dorian) and Michael Irby (Detective Paul), plus guest star Rowland Pidlubny (Yuri), and the show’s stunt coordinator, Scott Nicholson.
