You have questions. I have some answers.
Is there a different Belgian shepherd playing Bear on “Person of Interest”? He (or she) doesn’t look like the same dog to me.
Good eyes. Kate Bogle, an assistant director on the series, said there have been six, and possibly seven, different dogs playing Bear since he first appeared in the Season 2 premiere.
The original dog was named Grabauer’s Boker, the most recent is Gotcha. Gotcha arrived in the current, fifth season, and did all 13 episodes, Bogle said. “Season five is the only season it was consistently one dog. Even with Boker, his competition schedule required bringing in his brother, Milk.”
Did Errol Flynn have any grandchildren in the movie business? What happened to Errol Flynn’s son, Sean? Why did Errol Flynn die in 1959?
Flynn had four children — three daughters and a son — from three marriages. His son Sean, an actor turned photojournalist, disappeared in Cambodia in 1970, during the Vietnam War, and is thought to have been captured and killed by enemy forces.
As for grandchildren, another Sean Flynn, the son of Errol’s daughter Rory, has acted in “Zoey 101,” “Devious Maids” and other productions. Actor Luke Flynn is the son of Errol’s daughter Arnella.
Flynn died of a heart attack, although his health had also been impaired by drugs and alcohol; he was only 50 at the time.
Why did “So You Think You Can Dance” change the format to children this year? I miss the young adults.
When the “next generation” format was announced, executive producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe said the show was “evolving” so “we can showcase the very best junior dancers out there and open up the world of dance to a whole new generation.” That’s another way of saying it needs viewers.
The dance competition has struggled in the ratings in recent years, making changes to try to increase its audience. In 2015, former SYTYCD regular Mary Murphy told me, “We all knew that the show was on the chopping block. We had new executives coming in at Fox who would not renew the show without a format change and a panel shakeup.”
That led to the “stage vs. street” setup in the 2015 season, and now to the “next generation.”
I am writing with regard to an episode on the “Golden Girls.” At one point Rose surprised everyone by doing cartwheels around the floor. Do you know if Betty White did these herself?
She did not. The scene included a stunt double.
