Up and Coming

Matt Lanter

Current endeavor?

Star-Crossed on the CW network. I play a persecuted alien on a future earth, fighting for his people and to protect his love with a human girl.

Gotta-SEE movie this summer? 

I’m really looking forward to Captain America 2. I’m a sucker for all of those Marvel superhero movies. 

Music of the moment? 

I might be late to the game, but I just discovered the a cappella group Pentatonix. Man, those people have some crazy talent. I spent a LOT of time YouTubing everything on them one night.

Last great book you read?

I don’t read many books because I’m usually busy reading scripts, but one of the last ones I read was called Heaven is for Real. It was really eye-opening.

Favorite binge watch?

I love Game of Thrones, mostly for all of the action. It is one of those shows that always keeps you on your toes.

Carol Leifer

Current endeavor?

How to Succeed in Business without Really Crying. It is part memoir, part guide to life, but most of all incredibly funny. It’s experiences turned into a collection of essays that charts my four-decade journey through show business, illuminating the many mistakes I’ve made.

Websites you spend the most time on?

IMDb. I like to look up people and projects in the biz. Stella McCartney. I only buy vegan clothes, and her stuff is incredible. I comb her sale section daily, as it is a little pricey. And TMZ because I love gossip.

How About apps?

Waze. It is great for navigating traffic. And ArcLight’s app. I love buying tickets online and avoiding all the suckers waiting to get a ticket at the theatre.

Favorite magazine?

Hollywood Reporter. Their Friday edition is classy and informative. My family went to all the places they recommended in Ojai, and it was a home run! I’m old-school; I read it on paper.
