In a recent interview with SciFi Vision, Bruce Campbell, who’s known for his iconic role as Ash in the Evil Dead franchise, talked about his role in the series as small-town police chief Ben Dandridge, shared insights into his extensive career in both horror and comedy, recounted working on big budget films with Sam Raimi, and much more.

In a recent interview with SciFi Vision, actors Archie Kao and Tzi Ma discussed their roles in the Hulu series.

Archie Kao plays Uncle Wong, who runs the Golden Palace restaurant in Chinatown and is Willis and Fatty’s boss. “I take it upon myself to see this community that lives in Chinatown as my responsibility in a lot of ways to kind of protect their welfare,” said the actor, emphasizing Uncle Wong’s protective nature towards his community, despite sometimes appearing thorny.

Interior Chinatown premieres today on Hulu. The series, which was adapted from Charles Yu’s award-winning novel of the same name, is set in the world of a television production and follows Willis Wu, a background actor in a police procedural called Black & White. Stuck in the motions of his on-screen job waiting tables, Willis dreams of a life beyond Chinatown where he is the lead in his own story. His life takes a dramatic turn when he inadvertently witnesses a crime, uncovering a web of criminal activity and family secrets, all while experiencing the spotlight for the first time. Using a unique storytelling approach that blends meta-commentary with personal drama, the series explores the dynamics of racial representation, personal ambition, and the struggle to define one’s identity beyond societal expectations in the entertainment industry.

In a recent interview with SciFi Vision, Lisa Gilroy and Sullivan Jones shared insights into their roles in Hulu’s Interior Chinatown. Both actors portray exaggerated versions of stereotypical cops. Gilroy humorously mentioned her inspiration, saying, “I think of Mariska Hargitay all the time, every day and every night, no matter what I’m doing.” On the other hand, Jones drew from Clint Eastwood’s iconic presence for his role. “I thought about Clint Eastwood, just kind of being in control and [his] penetrating eyes and always like, just the rugged man's man,” said Jones.

Cross, which recently premiered on Prime Video, is a gripping new series based on James Patterson's best-selling Alex Cross novels. The series, created by showrunner and executive producer Ben Watkins, follows Aldis Hodge as Cross, a detective and forensic psychologist who is able to dig into the minds of victims and their killers in order to identify and capture murderers, all while grappling with the trauma of his wife's death.

Watkins recently spoke with SciFi Vision, sharing some insights on adapting Patterson’s novels. Creating a series of eight episodes as opposed to a film allowed for deeper character exploration alongside a complex thriller plot, according to Watkins. “I went back into the books and realized there are elements of the books that never made it to the screen,” explained the creator. “…We get to do an intricate, very twisty thriller, but we also get a chance to go into the characters.”
