A few years later he became a household name as the devious Sylar on Heroes. Zachary Quinto's portrayal of Sylar was so loved by audiences that his character made it through all four seasons of the show.

American Horror Story: Asylum is not for everyone, but there’s no denying creator Ryan Murphy has assembled one of the most interesting casts on television. The latest addition to the team is Emmy nominee Mark Margolis, best known for his roles on Oz and Breaking Bad.

Margolis joins the show as Sam Goodman, a Nazi hunter who Sr. Jude (Jessica Lange) enlisted to uncover the truth about Dr. Arden (James Cromwell). It seems, however, that the patient who called herself Anne Frank (Franka Potente) may have been lying. Will Goodman continue to investigate Arden or move on to his next case? Margolis’ answer was evasive.

“He may already have done his work before [Sr. Jude] even made the call to him,” the Emmy nominee hinted. “He may have done some level of work.”

The biest is back!

Make that a hexenbiest. That’s right, Grimm fans, tomorrow night’s fall finale brings everyone’s favorite hexenbiest back to Portland. Adalind (Claire Coffee) is out to avenge her mother’s death and has her sights set squarely on Nick (David Giuntoli) and the people he loves.

But Nick’s not the only person who had better watch his back. Adalind is not too happy with Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz) either, and when we last saw the defanged Wesen she was getting cozy with the royal family.

NBC send us a sneak peek in which Adalind tells Renard exactly what she’s after. Enjoy!

By Karen Moul

This Friday’s episode of Grimm brings Adalind (Claire Coffee) back to Portland to avenge her mother’s death. NBC’s official press release tells us the former hexenbiest “has her eyes set on Nick (David Giuntoli) and those closest to him – especially Hank (Russell Hornsby) and Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch).”

Meanwhile, Juliette and Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz) are a little distracted, still looking for a remedy for their mutual obsession.

“The reality is they’re both inextricably connected to one another,” explains Tulloch, “and they both don’t understand why. And it’s not getting any better, it’s just getting worse and worse and stronger and stronger.”

But the actress feels there is hope for Nick and Juliette. “There’s still a reason they fell in love in the first place. There was a lot of love there.

“It’d be great if [Juliette] could remember him. I don’t know if that’s going to happen or not,” she admitted, “but there’s definitely a spark there.”

Ruby Sparks stars Paul Dano as Calvin Weir-Fields, a struggling novelist who after finding fame as a teenager, now has writers' block. To kickstart his creativity, his therapist (Elliot Gould) tells him he should write about someone who would love his dog the way he is, timid and slobbery. So Calvin starts writing about a young woman, Ruby Sparks, and unwittingly ends up falling in love with her, which he thinks is a problem, because she's not real.

The more he writes, the more real she becomes, until her underthings start showing up and he sees her in his apartment. He freaks out, assuming he's had some kind of mental breakdown, but soon realizes that other people can see her too, and that he controls her with his writing.

The film is in much part about loving someone for who they are and accepting all their faults. Calvin learns that trying to change someone can have costs, as the more he controls her, the less she is the woman he fell in love with, and that love is often complicated, but that's what makes it real.
