You have questions. I have some answers.
In a commercial for an insurance company there is a spokesman known as Mayhem. In the latest ad he plays basketball against his brother. They look related. Are they brothers in real life?
Yes. Dean Winters — known for acting roles on “30 Rock,” “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” and other productions — has long been Mayhem in ads for Allstate insurance. In the basketball spot, Mayhem’s brother is played by Winters’ real-life brother, Scott William Winters, who is also an actor known for roles on “NCIS,” “Law & Order: SVU” and other shows. The Winters have teamed onscreen before, notably playing brothers on the HBO drama “Oz.”
I just watched an episode of “FBI: International” with a character who resembled Charles Korvin, the mambo teacher in a classic “Honeymooners” episode. My husband says no, but I think I’m right. There’s a week of dishwashing for the loser.
You had better get out the dish soap. Korvin died in 1998 at the age of 90.
About 10 years ago, there was a TV show named “Motive.” The main stars were Kristin Lehman and Louis Ferreira. I would like to see or purchase the few seasons that it showed. Can you help?
The Canadian-made drama ran for four seasons in 2013-16. You can find the episodes on Freevee, the ad-supported streaming service (also available via amazon.com) and for digital purchase on Prime Video, VUDU and Apple TV.
I really enjoyed the three seasons of “Master of None” on Netflix. Any idea if there will be a fourth season?
The show starring series co-creator Aziz Ansari for two seasons, and Lena Waithe and Naomi Ackie in a third, has not produced any new episodes since 2021. And I have not seen any announcement of a fourth season. That said, four years passed between the second season and the revised third season (titled “Master of None Presents: Moments in Love”). And in this hey-that-old-show-is-back era, I wouldn’t rule out Ansari getting an idea for more “Master” episodes down the road.
I recall one of the most suspenseful movies from the mid-late ’60s, called “Experiment in Terror.” I don’t recall the lead actors. But a man with a scary breathing issue pursued a woman throughout the movie. Any possibility this movie will show up on the Movies! network or is it available on DVD or some streaming service?
The movie, from 1962, starred Glenn Ford, Lee Remick and Ross Martin, and was directed by Blake Edwards. While I can’t be sure where it might be televised, it has been released on DVD. And digital sources include Prime Video, VUDU and Apple TV.
