Hamza Haq graduated from a hired consultant to the star of “Transplant,” a new medical drama premiering Sept. 1 on NBC.In the series, which debuted on Canada’s CTV earlier this year, Haq plays Bashir Hamed, a Syrian doctor and refugee who, through a series of events, finds himself part of the medical team at a downtown Toronto hospital — while trying to raise his 12-year-old sister, Amiri (Sirena Gulamgaus).Haq, 29, had played a foreign exchange student on “Transplant” creator Joseph Kay’s previous series, “This Life” — and that, he says, set him in good stead when Kay was developing his new show.“He invited me to talk about what it feels like being a brown man and a Muslim in Canada today,” says Haq, who was born to Pakistani parents in.

Berlin Review: ‘Against The Ice’

Heroism, obsession, sheet ice and huskies. It’s a winning combination, the stuff of stories that show men – because these were stories about men – reaching beyond themselves to survive the elements. Sometimes, even in stories, they didn’t survive because they sacrificed themselves for their comrades, finding their best selves in tough situations. Before imaginary superheroes took over, these tall tales and true of derring-do used to fill children’s annuals.

‘Black No More’ review: Off-Broadway musical is a talent-filled mess

Two very different musicals are wrapped up into one bewildering package with the New Group’s “Black No More,” which opened Tuesday night off-Broadway. Part of the show is an occasionally on-the-money satire about a fictitious device from the 1930s that can turn black people white. The poetic opening narration brings to mind “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “Little Shop of Horrors.” But what follows is an unnecessarily bombastic melodrama that makes “Les Misérables” look like “Blue’s Clues.”2 hours, 30 minutes, with one intermission.

The incredible true story behind Sharon Stone's iconic white dress from 'Basic Instinct'

InStyle, the actress, 63, said she actually picked out the dress on her own — and, per her contract, she got to keep her entire wardrobe."The costume designer, Ellen Mirojnick, took me to Rodeo Drive and said, 'You can pick out any one thing that you want for your character,'" Sharon said. "At this point in my life, the idea that I could go into one of those high-end stores where a purse costs $20,000 and not feel like an impostor was beyond my comprehension."Sharon, a newcomer to film at the time, felt it was important to be able to keep her wardrobe, largely based on the fact that co-star Michael Douglas was making $14 million for the movie.

Although Elizabeth Olsen used to be known as the lesser-known younger sister to superstar twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, she’s now made such a name for herself as an actress, arguably surpassing the twins’ fame. The California native, born February 16, 1989, started acting when she was four, but didn’t really start to find her stride until after she graduated from New York University’s prestigious Tisch School of the Arts in 2013 after studying drama and finding critical acclaim for her leading role in the 2011 indie flick Martha Marcy May Marlene. She went on to act in a slew of other indie films and subsequently found her place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, starring in many Avengers and Captain America films and also standing out as Scarlet Witch in Disney+’s WandaVision.
