Some sad news. Veteran British actor Peter Vaughan, whose screen career stretched from the 1950s until 2015, has passed away at the age of ninety-three. His agent's announcement confirmed that he died peacefully at home this morning with his family around him.
Vaughan's most recent television role was as Maester Aemon in HBO's Game Of Thrones, a series he left just last year and on which he was a favourite of both the showrunners and recurring co-star Kit Harington for the breadth of his experience and anecdotes.
Peter Vaughan's acting career spanned a remarkable seven decades and included roles for which he will be fondly remembered, including that of Harry 'Grouty' Grout in Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais' BBC sitcom Porridge. He also brought several literary...

A couple weeks ago at the TCA press tour, I sat down with Clive Owen and Steven Soderbergh for a 45-minute discussion about their new Cinemax series "The Knick," a medical drama set around New York's Knickerbocker Hospital in 1900. Soderbergh directed the totality of the first season, which focuses on Owen's Dr. John W. Thackery, a visionary surgeon who augments his forward-thinking approach to his profession with additions to cocaine and opium. As you might expect, it's a wide-ranging interview covering the show's journey to Cinemax, the approach to the occasionally harrowing medical rituals of the period, the pressures of doing five two-hour movies consecutively and the decision to use a trippy score by Cliff Martinez. It's a great interview and it'll go up sometime next week, ahead of the show's August 8 premiere on Cinemax. While the full Q&A will be posted, I wanted to whet appetites with a...

The year 1991 is the focus for our latest underappreciated films list, which includes dramas, thrillers, and a smattering of horror...
Ah, 1991. The year Robert Patrick ran after cars in Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and Kevin Costner grew a spectacular mullet for Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves. But outside the top ten blockbuster list, there lies an entire world of other, less celebrated films to discover.
Some of the movies on this list have been included because they were overlooked in theatres, while others have been added because they were unfairly dismissed by critics. One or two others were modest successes, but (whisper it) we decided to include them anyway because we really, really like them.
So here, for your delectation, is our pick of 25 underappreciated films from 1991.
25. Deceived
You think Goldie Hawn, you tend to think comedy, or her Oscar-nominated turn in Private Benjamin.

Steven Soderbergh is bringing Clive Owen to TV with "The Knick."
The 10-episode Cinemax series begins production in New York in September. “We are thrilled that Steven and Clive have chosen to bring this unique and exciting series to Cinemax," Michael Lombardo, president of HBO Programming, said in a statement.
"The Knick" is set at Knickerbocker Hospital in downtown New York in 1900 and follows the surgeons, nurses and staff who "push the bounds of medicine in a time of astonishingly high mortality rates and zero antibiotics."
Jack Amiel and Michael Begler wrote the pilot and will serve as executive producers alongside Owen, Soderbergh, Michael Sugar, and Gregory Jacobs.
Owen's TV credits include "Hemingway & Gellhorn," for which he was nominated for an Emmy, "Extras" and 1990s shows "Chancer " and "Sharman." Soderbergh's TV credits include "K Street" and "Unscripted."
No premiere date has been set.

Los Angeles, Aug 13: Actor Clive Owen says stardom and fame was never his aim as he was more keen on doing theatre.
"I never wanted to be a movie star. And I didn't become an actor to become famous. I genuinely didn't. It was always theatre for me," dailymail.co.uk quoted Owen as saying.
The 47-year-old found success with the ITV series "Chancer" in 1990. He then went on to do movies like "Close My Eyes", "Closer" and "Croupier".

Clive Owen hates being famous. The 47-year-old actor insists he didn't get into Hollywood for the fame and admits it was difficult to adjust to his newfound celebrity status when he first rose to notoriety in 1990 with ITV drama 'Chancer'. Clive told the Mail on Sunday's Live magazine: ''I never wanted to be a movie star. And I didn't become an actor to become famous. I genuinely didn't. It was always theatre for me. '''Chancer' was a baptism of fire. It's very weird to go from obscurity to suddenly being in newspapers. ''When somebody is hot, everyone wants a piece of it.

If actor Clive Owen ever finds himself at a loose end, Andrew has a few film pitches which he thinks will be a perfect fit…
Described as potentially “one note” in Empire Magazine (with the qualifying comment of “it's a bloody good note and nobody else could play it better”), Clive Owen is more versatile than many give him credit for.
After a varied career in film, stage and television with appearances of note in Chancer, Close My Eyes, the original theatrical version of Closer, and 1997's double-header of Croupier and Bent, he reached the big time in with a very strong run of films (from Sin City in 2005 through to Shoot 'Em Up in 2007). Since then he has alternated between more obviously commercial work such as Duplicity and Killer Elite with more personal, human dramas such as Intruders and The Boys are Back.

Spike Lee's adaptation of Oldboy is in need of a villain and a female lead. And a few potential candidates may just have been found...
With Colin Firth ruling himself out of the villain role in Spike Lee’s adaptation of Oldboy, the director was left searching for a suitable alternative. It now seems as though he’s found a candidate in Clive Owen.
Owen and Lee worked together on Inside Man, so this may be a deal that can be closed fairly quickly. While Owen lacks Firth's current high profile, he’s delivered a number of great performances, and has shown that he play both intellectual and menacing characters on a number of occasions. Particularly in certain scenes in Closer, and of course, in Inside Man. Do try and dig out a copy of ITV's 1990s drama series Chancer, too. It's one of Owen's best pieces of work.

Clive Owen Gets Back

Alex Simon
Clive Owen is one of those actors that keep surprising you. Just when you think the audience, and the Hollywood establishment, has pegged him as an action hero, a leading man, or a romantic comedy pin-up, Owen pulls an about-face and does something unexpected.
It all started October 3, 1964 in Coventry, England. Owen’s father, a country music singer, abandoned the family when he was just three. His mother later remarried, with Clive and his four brothers raised by his mother and stepfather, who worked for British Rail. Owen has characterized those early years as "rough." A self-described “solidly working class” kid, Owen was bitten by the acting bug at age 13 and followed his dream to The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art several years later. Initially cutting his teeth on high-profile British television programs such as “Chancer” and “Sharman,” as well as art house...

They call him the Chancer. With his dark, swept-back hair and smoldering eyes, he's the hottest and most dangerous man around in a long time - 6 ft. 2 in. of pure trouble and grief."

Clive Owen has made a career out of playing brooding loners, yet he never seems to be repeating himself. Even his hesitant heroes bear little resemblance to one another. His indestructible Sin City character will never be confused with his cartoon antihero in Shoot 'Em Up or his weary Everyman reluctantly saving the world in Children of Men. If there's a common thread to his roles--including the brilliant bank robber in Inside Man, the cuckolded husband in Closer, and Sir Walter Raleigh in Elizabeth: The Golden Age--it's an intelligence and an air of sophistication that Owen can't help but bring to every role he plays.His smooth confidence had many clamoring for Owen to inherit the mantle of James Bond, a role he claims he was never offered before Daniel Craig assumed the title. This seems inconceivable, as the character would have fit Owen as snugly as an Armani tux,...
