ABC tries social network experiment with ‘Revenge’

By David Bauder Associated Press

NEW YORK — ABC and Yahoo will experiment on the season’s last two episodes of “Revenge” with a smartphone and tablet application designed to encourage more people to watch television live.

There’s an enticement, too.

People who download and click onto the “Into Now” application during the May 16 and 23 showings of “Revenge” become eligible for a free summer trip to New York’s Hamptons beach area, where the drama’s story is based.

The companies are trying to take advantage of the growing trend of multiscreen use, or people who spend time on their phones or iPads while the TV is on. Yahoo’s “Into Now” app tries to make all of that easier.

“The world changed dramatically with all the smartphones and tablets,” said Adam Cahan, vice president of “Into Now.” “People are multitasking while they are watching TV. We came up with a way of connecting that community.”

When used, the app can identify what show a viewer is watching and immediately spot Facebook friends who are doing the same thing, Cahan said. It taps into Twitter feeds about

Emily VanCamp is shown in a scene from the May 9, 2012 episode of the ABC series, ‘Revenge.’

ABC is conducting an experiment for the season finale of ‘Revenge’ with an app that makes it easier for viewers to conduct ‘second screen’ activities like talking about the show on Facebook and Twitter. The network is interested in seeing if this might make more people watch shows when they air rather than on DVRs.

Chris Raschka, a two-time recipient of the Caldecott Medal for best illustration in a children’s book, remembers reading “Where the Wild Things Are,” winner of the Caldecott in 1964. Raschka, 53, was sitting on the kitchen table at his best friend’s house and picked up a copy lying nearby. He felt as if he were “peeking into

an illicit world.”

“What set it apart was that it seemed like the first picture book that was very personal, and it was painted by an artist who combined the child and the adult in a new way,” says Raschka, who works with Sendak’s longtime editor, Michael di Capua.

“Maurice Sendak is really the illustrator’s illustrator. He’s a stronger presence than anyone else, certainly than any living illustrator. He just represented a very personal, fine art approach to making books that is an inspiration to all of us.”

Sandra Boynton, the award-winning illustrator, author and songwriter, regarded Sendak as a teacher for much of her life. As a little girl, she was so taken by his

vice president of strategic marketing partnerships at ABC. “We know the story lines are going to

illustrations of “The Little Bear” series, that she promised herself she would learn the words, too, and so credits Sendak with helping her learn to read. In the 1970s, she was among the very lucky at Yale University able to take a class Sendak was offering on children’s books.

“He talked a lot about voice, about finding your voice, and, of course, he was very visually oriented as well,” says Boynton, 59, whose many books include “Philadelphia Chickens” and “Amazing Cows.” “The thing that struck me the most of what he said was that the words should never be redundant to the picture. They both have a place.”

Handler, 42, says Sendak has been so much a part of his life he can’t think of

be things that the fans are going to buzz about and talk about when it’s over. We wanted to encourage fans to watch it live.”

While most television is still viewed live, the rapid growth of digital video recorders usage and video on demand means many more fans are watching programs later than when they are aired on TV, and networks have a harder time measuring this viewership. It is considered a factor in a major ratings slump at the networks this spring.

The Nielsen company estimated that 44 percent of all U.S. homes with TVs had DVRs in April, up from 19 percent in September 2007. Nielsen said 8 percent of all TV viewing is now material recorded on DVRs. So, for ABC other networks, anything that might encourage live viewing is considered worth a try. ABC is examining partnerships with companies that have technology similar to “Into Now,” but it has no other agreements set, Chew said.

“We’re really interested in learning more about the second screen-experience,” she said.

For “Into Now,” the ABC deal also provides an important marketing boost as it tries to establish itself in a growing marketplace.

a time he wasn’t aware of him. Sendak’s books were all over his room and in his home today. To even attempt praise of “Where the Wild Things Are” is like saying “Hamlet” is a good play, he notes. Sendak’s genius is how he weaves together the real and the magical without telling you which is which. “’Where the Wild Things Are’ starts with a boy being sent to his room and proceeds to take him to an enormous and irrational world without really telling us if it’s real. But if you’re a small child it does seem real and that’s what matters,” Handler says.

“Both my son and my wife cried this morning at the news of his death. That might sum up his career in a nutshell.”

Norah Jones: ‘Little Broken Hearts’ is a ‘natural evolution’

By Chris Barton Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Mention that Norah Jones has a new record and most likely an aural picture emerges. Maybe it’s a hazard of success or having such a recognizable, lightly sanded voice, but after she took home five Grammys for the nearly inescapable “Come Away With Me” in 2003, Norah Jones’ particular brand of song craft became synonymous with an understated, ballad-friendly sound that was always tasteful but sometimes a bit unobtrusive.

“If there was no Adele or Norah, what would they play in coffee shops and hotels?” one prominent jazz musician playfully asked on Twitter last month, pairing two runaway Grammy winners of the last 10 years. Yet this perception overlooks that Norah Jones has been steadily moving away from the sultry, nocturnal atmosphere of her previous records.

The daughter of sitar great Ravi Shankar, Jones exploded out of the New York City jazz scene in the early ’00s and built a steady career on albums that elegantly nodded toward jazz, country and pop in a manner that merged well with public spaces seeking a hip (but not too hip) backdrop.

But a shift began coming into focus in 2009 with “The Fall,” which took Jones into a more shuffling, rock-oriented direction with guest turns from indie heroes Ryan Adams and Okkervil River’s Will Sheff. Her new album, “Little Broken Hearts,” released May 1, goes a significant step further with the help of uber-producer Danger Mouse (aka Brian Burton), whose eclectic, funk-dusted touch has been heard with Gnarls Barkley, Broken Bells and the Black Keys. Though layered with curious sounds and effects, Jones emphasizes the recording’s acoustic roots, so this effort is far from a dance or electronic record. It is, however, her most intriguing listen.

With Burton credited as cowriter, “Little Broken Hearts”

Charles Sykes/Associated Press

Norah Jones’ latest album, ‘Little Broken Hearts,’ was released May 1. feels like a welcome left turn, right down to its seductive, Russ Meyer-evoking cover art. But Jones doesn’t see it that way. “I always try to do something different,” Jones said, speaking by phone from New York City. “I don’t think I’ve made the same record over and over. I think I’ve made a pretty natural evolution to this point.

“So for me, this doesn’t seem so crazy,” she added with a laugh.

Jones first joined Burton on his lush 2011 album, “Rome,” an imaginary soundtrack teamed with composer Daniele Luppi steeped in the Ennio Morriconescored spaghetti westerns of the ’60s and ’70s. Though Burton was said to be in the studio and unavailable for interviews, he’s previously described Jones as his first choice for the icily detached female vocal counterpoint to that record’s other high-

profile guest, Jack White.

Inspired by the experience, Jones asked if they could work together again on her next album. “(Burton) said it would be fun to go in with nothing and just kind of write from scratch and play a bunch of instruments ourselves,” Jones explained, adding this was his method while recording with the Shins’ James Mercer on Broken Bells, whose electro-pop flourishes share a sonic lineage with “Little Broken Hearts.” Though Jones said one of the most freeing aspects of the album was going into its sessions with no expectations, Burton had a direction in mind.

“In the beginning Brian asked me if I was into making a dark album, and I think I was kind of surprised by that,” Jones said. “But I also wasn’t closed to

anything. ... He loves that mood, so you put him in a room with me who likes ballads and quiet music — I think the combination works.”

The result is certainly dark, with many of the lyrics chronicling the shattered aftermath of a breakup, something Jones recently went through herself with the end of her relationship with musician Lee Alexander, who worked with Jones on her first three albums. (The two still work together on Jones’ country-tilted side project the Little Willies, which also released an album in January.)

With Burton’s spacey burbles and echoes shadowing her every move, Jones can sound achingly heartsick for much of “Little Broken Hearts,” as on “She’s 22,” where a lonely guitar shuffles behind her plaintive refrain of “Does she make you

happy?”

But there’s also room for upbeat, R&B-leaning sass with the irresistible “Say Goodbye” and debut single “Happy Pills,” which features a spectral echo of voices along its heavy-footed rhythm. In maybe the record’s biggest departure, Jones delivers a spare murder ballad on “Miriam,” which finds her stalking an unfaithful lover and making the line “I’m gonna smile when I take your life” sound sinister yet weirdly sweet.

When asked if she was worried about perhaps letting too much of her private life show in a breakup album that quickly starts sounding personal, Jones waved off such concerns.

“People will read into what you say no matter what, so it doesn’t matter to me. I know what’s real, what’s encrypted in there and what’s not,” she said.

Review | Music

Albarn takes new direction with Dr Dee

By Sian Watson Associated Press

Damon Albarn, “Dr Dee” (Virgin) Eclectic is Damon Albarn’s middle name. From Brit pop with Blur to the Chinese opera “Monkey: Journey to the West” and the Gorillaz in between, his musical journey has gone in pretty much every direction.

His latest offering is different again; Albarn refers to the album as “strange pastoral folk.”

“Dr Dee” is from an opera which premiered last year during the Manchester International Festival in the United Kingdom. It tells the story of John Dee, Queen Elizabeth I’s medical and scientific advisor, whose career ended in sexual scandal and disgrace. Albarn created the stage production of “Dr Dee” alongside theater director Rufus Norris.

The album opens with an instrumental track called “The Golden Dawn,” which employs birds singing and the chiming of a clock, with an

organ being ominously introduced midway through.

“Apple Carts” sees the welcome introduction of Albarn’s vocals and is strangely beautiful, his dulcet tones paired with a flute and lyrics that reference nature. This melts into “O Spirit, Animate Us,” where Albarn’s lyricism turns almost biblical — “Oh father, animate us,” he asks, before the song is pierced, rather uncomfortably and unexpectedly, with operatic female vocals.

Without the visual accompaniment of the stage production, it’s hard to grapple with the material. Perhaps aided by visuals, the tracks would have more purpose and impact. As it stands now, it’s an odd but interesting album that’s hard to truly enjoy.

CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: “The Marvelous Dream” allows Albarn’s soulful voice to show and evokes memories of Blur in their more tender moments.

Even better is a duet with Clay Aiken on “Luck Be A Lady Tonight” from “Guys And Dolls” which, it is safe to say, rocks harder than anything Aiken has ever done.

Like a great Broadway

production, the album builds to a final crescendo in “Tonight/Somewhere” from “West Side Story,” in which “Evita” star Patti LuPone and Snider give the ’80s power ballad treatment to one of the stage’s most enduring melodies.

Haters beware: The dude really CAN sing!

CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: “Razzle Dazzle” is from the musical “Chicago,” but Twisted Sister fans will doubtless latch onto the cowbell drum beat that is very similar to the one that made “We’re Not Gonna Take It” such an adrenaline rush.

set? Ho ho!

At the same time, “Dark Shadows” feels too languid, bogged down as it is with an obsessive eye for period costumes (the work of Colleen Atwood) and interior details rather than offering anything resembling an engaging story. And by the time Burton finally puts his patented flair for visual effects to its best use, in a climactic showdown between Barnabas and the witch who cursed him (the va-va-voomy Eva Green), it’s too late.

A little background here: As a child, Barnabas and his wealthy family sailed from England in 1750 and founded the fishing village of Collinsport in coastal Maine. They spent 15 years building the grand Collinwood Manor, where a maid named Angelique (Green) loved Barnabas passionately, but he never returned her affections. Because she felt scorned — and happened to

be a witch — she turned him into a vampire, chained him up and stuck him in a coffin in the ground. Nearly 200 years later, a construction crew unearths him and sets him free.

When he stumbles back to his once-stately home, he finds it falling apart, along with the fishing empire that has been conquered by a competitor named Angel (Green, again). The few family members who remain are random and reclusive: matri-

arch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer), the only one who knows his true identity; her weasel of a brother, Roger (Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teen daughter, Carolyn (Chloe Grace Moretz); and Roger’s 10-year-old son David (Gully McGrath), who sees dead people. There’s also David’s perpetually drunk psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman (Burton regular Helena Bonham Carter); the home’s beleaguered caretaker, Willie (Jackie Earle Haley); and the new governess, Victoria (Bella Heathcote), who bears a striking resemblance to Barnabas’ longago love and has a few secrets of her own.

That’s a lot of exposition, huh?

And the film itself takes awhile to get going as it establishes all those characters and back stories. Once there, it seems to have nowhere to go — out of the shadows or into the light, it doesn’t really matter either way.

May 11-17, 2012 NEW ON DVD and blu-ray

The Duke comes to DVD

By Rick Bentley McClatchy Newspapers

This week’s new DVD options include a romance, classic Westerns and a religion-meets-science offering.

“The Vow,” Grade B: A woman (Rachel McAdams) wakes up from a coma with no memory of her marriage. The romance film is loosely based on a true story.

Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum are the film’s biggest assets. She has the kind of angelic face and sweet personality that make it easy to fall in love with her. Tatum brings both a rough physicality and surprising vulnerability to the role. They make it easy to root for this couple to stay together.

“The Vow” has three things going for it: likable starring actors, a director who knows how to stay away from saccharinesweet sentimentality and a compelling story.

“The John Wayne Collection,” Grade A-minus: This collection includes 10 titles from John Wayne’s long career, including “Red River,” “The Barbarian” and “The Geisha.”

Two of the best selections are “The Alamo,” an Academy Award nominee for Best Picture, and “The Longest Day,” a film that won Oscars for Best Cinematography and Special Effects and was also a nominee for Best Picture.

“The Alamo” has Wayne playing Col. Davy Crockett with such gusto he stands out in this star-studded offering. Wayne is just one of a host of big-name movie stars in “The Longest Day,” a film that looks at events of D-Day. His role isn’t that big but this is truly one of Hollywood’s great war epics.

Columbia Pictures via Associated Press

Actor John Wayne directs a scene for the movie ‘The Alamo’ in 1959. Wayne also portrays Col. Davy Crockett in the movie, which is part of a 10-disc collection released this week on DVD. “The Genesis Code,” Grade C-minus: The film starts out with an interesting idea: prove with science how God created the world in six days as stated in the Book of Genesis. And, it approaches that idea in a rather novel way.

The sin of this film is that it wanders more than Moses and his people.

There are storylines about a college hockey player (Logan Bartholomew) who has a crisis of faith, his girlfriend (Kelsey Sanders) who faces professional conflicts because of her faith, a legal battle over the wishes of a dying mom, another hockey player with hospital issues and frustrated grandparents.

Toss in a cheesy ending and the good intentions of this film are lost in this jumble.

Also coming to DVD this week: “Chuck: The Complete Fifth and Final Season”: The DVD set includes all 13 episodes, plus more than three hours of neverbefore-seen bonus features.

“Fantasy Island: The Compete Second Season”: Contains 25 episodes of the TV adventures on the mysterious island.

“The Twilight Zone: More Fan Favorites”: A 5-DVD set contains 20 episodes from the series.

“Cold War: The Complete Series”: Peabody Award-winning CNN docu-

mentary on the events of the Cold War from 1917 to 1991.

“The Big C: The Complete Second Season”: Laura Linney plays a suburban housewife who fights back after being diagnosed with stage four melanoma.

“Kawa”: A successful businessman is forced to reveal his lifelong secret that he’s gay.

“Underworld: Awakening”: Vampire Selene comes out of a coma to find she has a 14-year-old vampire/ Lycan hybrid daughter. Kate Beckinsale stars.

‘Common Law’ cops add more character to USA

By Rick Bentley

common law

McClatchy Newspapers

• Tonight at 9 on USA

LOS ANGELES — The USA Network welcomes two more characters to its original programming lineup and gives the familiar buddy cop formula a therapeutic twist with the launch of “Common Law” on Friday.

Michael Ealy (“The Good Wife”) and Warren Kole (“24”) play the best detectives in the Robbery-Homicide Division of the Los Angeles police department. There’s just one problem: They don’t get along. Their captain decides they could use some help and forces the partners to attend couples therapy.

Ealy thinks the network’s unique approach to the familiar cop format is an act of bravery.

“It’s a risky show because we are breaking the traditional mold of a cop show. I think once people get a chance to see it, they will sit back and relax a little and realize this is quite fun,” Ealy says. “It’s also insightful in the revelations that come out of the therapy sessions.”

Kole adds that it isn’t just a different look at cops, but it offers a new perspective on how most men are portrayed on television.

What makes the pair so different — and ripe for therapy ses-

The biggest difference about this relationship and other couples is that there’s a legitimate life-and-death factor hanging over their heads. That’s another element that comes through during their therapy sessions.

Sonya Walger, who plays the therapist trying to help the detectives, likes that the series takes a lighter look at the law.

She was looking for a role that wasn’t overly complicated after the mythology-heavy demands of her last two series, “Lost” and “FlashForward.”

“I have played so many sobbing, exhausted, depleted women lately, it’s actually really fun to play someone who has a little more lightness and is listening a lot and not endlessly wailing and moaning,” Walger says.

“I am loving this show.”

‘General Hospital’ and ABC top nominees for Daytime Emmys

By Patrick Kevin Day Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — “General Hospital” is one of the few soap operas still on the air, and it’s reaping the benefits of diminished competition by grabbing 23 nominations for the 39th Daytime Emmy Awards, which were announced Wednesday morning.

The ABC soap opera helped boost the network to the lead of the pack in overall network nominations, with a total of 56.

The longest-running soap opera on TV was recently renewed for a 49th season

by ABC, which spared it the fate of fellow soaps “All My Children” and “One Life to

Live,” both canceled last year.

Among other ABC shows getting nominations were “Good Morning America,” which recently topped long-time morning show champ “Today” in the ratings for the first time since 1996; “The View”; the children’s show “Born to Explore”; and the canceled “All My Children” and “One Life to Live.”

Other top nominated shows were PBS’ “Sesame Street” and CBS’ “The Young and the Restless” with 16 apiece, NBC’s “Days of Our Lives” with 15, the syndicated “Ellen DeGeneres Show” with 12 and the soap operas “All My Children,” “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “One Life to Live” with

11 each.

PBS was just behind ABC in the overall network nominations, with 51 nominations, followed by all syndicated shows with 46, Nickelodeon with 40, CBS with 33 and NBC with 24.

Regis Philbin received a nomination (along with Kelly Ripa) for outstanding talk show host, his last chance to win the Emmy; he retired in November.

The nominees in the top categories are: Outstanding Drama Series “All My Children” (ABC) “Days of Our Lives” (NBC) “General Hospital” (ABC) “The Young and the Restless” (CBS)

JSU brings the Peanuts gang to the stage

ans of Charles M. Schulz’ comic strip “Peanuts” get to relive the animated magic of Charlie Brown, his adorable pup and the rest of the gang at Jacksonville State University’s production of the musical comedy “Snoopy!!! The Musical!”

“Snoopy!!! The Musical!” is the sequel to “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” which focused mostly on Charlie Brown. But, in this musical, Snoopy commands the stage.

Audiences can expect to see the same characters and interaction they have witnessed on the TV specials and read in the comic strip.

Dr. Ellen Peck, assistant professor of drama at JSU, serves as the director of the musical, and Kayleigh Jade Smith is the choreographer. While there is only a slight difference between the musical and the comic strip, Peck said, “The biggest change is that Snoopy talks. He never had a voice in the cartoon.”

‘Witcher 2’ casts a spell on the Xbox 360 Warner Bros. via Associated Press

A scene is shown from ‘The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings,’ for the Xbox 360. This role-playing game satisfies all around.

By John Kosik Associated Press

There’s always an element within any role-playing game that fans of the genre will gripe about.

While last year’s “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim” was lauded for a beautiful and expansive open world, it was slammed by others for its somewhat bland combat. On the other hand, “Dark Souls” was hailed for a brutally difficult combat system yet dismissed by those seeking colorful characters and a tangled web of folklore.

“The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings” (Warner Bros., for the Xbox 360, $59.99), with a nearly flawless combination of deep, nonlinear storytelling and challenging combat, satisfies all around. One of 2011’s most popular and critically acclaimed

PC games, it comes to the Xbox in a robust “Enhanced Edition” full of bonus content.

Playing as the witcher Geralt of Rivia — a mutant who “slays monsters for coin” — you are quickly immersed in a complicated world of political intrigue where loyalties are tested and back stabbing is frequent. With only fragments of his memory intact, Geralt is accused of assassinating the king and seeks the true killer to clear his name.

Beyond the main storyline are plenty of colorful characters who need help, so you can pick up monster-hunting jobs here and there — or you can just sit around drinking and arm-wrestling for money.

The enjoyable quest log is written from an outsider’s perspective, and the pieces are slowly put together based on the decisions you make. These

choices have significant weight, and even those that seem small could have a huge effect on the story as you battle your way toward one of 16 possible endings.

Combat is fast-paced, and the Xbox translation has very responsive controls. The magic spells, called “signs,” work well in tandem with the swordplay.

You can cast a sign to protect yourself or throw a ball of flame, but the most amusing sign turns enemies against each other: Hit three foes in succession and enjoy the mayhem.

As you gain experience you earn talent points to spend on three skill trees: swordsmanship, alchemy or magic. The variations are many, making for high replay value. There’s also an intense “Dark Mode” that must be played to unlock even more quests and content. An “Elder

Scrolls”-type alchemy system requires you to collect ingredients and formulas to make powerful potions, and you can also collect items to craft and upgrade weapons and armor.

The world created by Polish developer CD Projekt Red is incredibly detailed. Sunlight shimmers off bodies of water; forests are hazy and full of shadows; towns and cities are teeming with activity. This is one of the best-looking games to hit Microsoft’s console.

The vibrant music and sound effects add to the medievalfantasy ambience, and with a good audio setup you’ll feel as if you’re actually inside a tavern hearing 10 conversations going on around you while a bard sings a lilting tune.

“The Witcher 2” takes awhile to get going, and there are some slight limitations to travel-

ing, though they never really hinder you. If you weather the early frustrations, you’ll meet a wonderful array of people and creatures, including scheming merchants, down-on-their-luck warriors and hard-drinking dwarfs, all brought to life by strong voice acting.

Early on, an elf maiden invites you to a waterfall, hinting at carnal delights — but be careful, because there is far more than meets the eye in the land of Temeria. “The Witcher 2” easily earns its “M” rating, with plenty of wild profanity, sexualized nudity and bloodshed.

For all of you adult — and I mean adult — gamers out there who hungry for a mature story set within a fantastic world you can lose yourself in, “The Witcher 2” will satisfy your cravings.

Three and a half stars out of four.

What better way to get involved and support a good cause than through purchasing art from local artists and students?

This year’s Gala hosted by the Visual Arts Society at Jacksonville State University will be in a different venue from previous galas, but Gale Brodie, Hammond Hall Gallery coordinator, promised the experience and tasteful artwork will be just the same.

“It will be more of a social function with a party on the patio and a silent art auction,” she said.

Held at the Victoria Inn on Quintard Avenue from 6:309:30 p.m. Thursday, May 17, guests will have the chance to bid on artwork and pieces such as paintings, mosaic tile, hand-blown glass, jewelry, ceramics, collages and charcoal drawings from local artists.

Hors d’oeuvres and wine will be

served promptly at 6:30, and the Manabu Saeki band will play jazz music on the deck.

The proceeds of the auction will benefit the Jacksonville State art department and provide scholarships for art students at JSU. With the purchase of a ticket, guests can also obtain reduced membership in the Visual Arts Society.

“Members that join the Visual Arts Society get to go with us on different excursions, and there’s an open exhibition and reception for members who are artists in June of this year,” Brodie said.

Ticket prices for society members are $30 for a single and $50 for couples. For nonmembers, single tickets are $35 and couple tickets are $60. To make reservations or receive more information, call 256-7825626.

Another great way to support the arts is at Cleburne County Middle School’s art show and fundraiser from 3-5 p.m. May 15.

The event will be at the library

and will feature original artwork from the students in a multihandicap class at the school.

“We have recycled art projects, painted tile, Crimson Tide and Auburn Tigers pieces, Christian art and nature scenes, all hand-painted by the students,” said Christie Ayers, the special education teacher. The students have worked on these original art pieces since January.

The pieces start as low as $10 and will help to buy additional classroom items and sensory integration tools specific to what the class needs.

“Having these things are very important, especially for our autistic students who have sensory disorders. We use these tools for calming and improving motor skills,” Ayers said.

“The students are very proud to present their work and feel very successful with what they’ve achieved.”

Voice-over veterans facing competition from celebrities

By Joe Flint Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Tom Kane hates the ads for Mercedes-Benz.

It’s not the car. It’s Jon Hamm. Mercedes uses the “Mad Men” star as the voice of its television and radio commercials.

“Even if it is a terrific spot — which it isn’t — people don’t have a clue who that is,” grumbled Kane, a professional voice actor who’s done animation, movie trailers and commercials for two decades.

As brand-name advertisers fight for attention in a cluttered media landscape, they are turning increasingly to celebrities such as Robert Downey Jr. (Nissan), Jeff Bridges (Hyundai) and Tim Allen (Chevrolet) to pitch their products.

“It takes more to get people’s attention, and the use of celebrities does allow marketers to permeate that clutter better than the use of a non-celebrity,” said Drew Slavin, a general manager of marketing for MercedesBenz.

Even actors such as Hamm, Allison Janney (the “West Wing” co-star who pitches Kaiser Permanente) and John Krasinski (“The Office” star who hawks Esurance), whose voices may not be recognizable without their faces attached, are getting into the act. So are “Modern Family” co-star Ty Burrell, comedian Wanda Sykes, “24” star and secondgeneration voice-actor Kiefer Sutherland, and “Grey’s Anatomy” veteran Patrick Dempsey.

“Some are fabulous and some are pretty mediocre,” said Keri Tombazian, a veteran voice actress. “The

Ricardo DeAratanha/Associated Press

Voice-over actress Keri Tombazian poses at the microphone in the sound booth at her home studio in Sherman Oaks, Calif. Tombazian said some celebrities’ voice-over work is very good, while that of others is mediocre. unfortunate thing for us is that career voice-over actors are not afforded the luxury of mediocrity.”

For stars, it’s a lucrative payday at a time of belttightening across Hollywood. For Madison Avenue, it’s a way to tap into the nation’s celebrity obsession and associate with the glamour of Hollywood.

But for Kane and other voice-over professionals, it’s money out of their pockets.

“They are not happy campers,” said Marice Tobias, a well-known voice coach known in the industry as the “voice whisperer.” “A lot of them will say, ‘Why don’t they just leave our business alone?’”

For decades, most A-list actors did just that. The occasional big star “voiced”

commercials. Jack Lemmon spoke for Honda and Gene Hackman was the sound of United Airlines. James Earl Jones did CNN. Donald Sutherland did Volvo.

But they were the exceptions. Most actors feared being tagged a sellout, or looking desperate, for doing commercial work.

“Back then, celebrities didn’t do commercials,” said Jeff Danis, president of DPN Talent, an agency specializing in voice-over work.

“Today, the whole landscape has changed and actors traverse every medium. The taboos aren’t there, as they once were.”

Commercials are the latest arena in which television and movie stars are crowding out voice-over professionals. Most major docu-

mentaries use big-screen or television talent — think Morgan Freeman in the hit film “March of the Penguins.” Big parts in animated movies go almost exclusively to recognizable actors — Tom Hanks in “Toy Story” or Mike Myers in “Shrek” — in part because the stars can market the movie in ways an unknown can’t.

“A celebrity is more likely to get his butt on every talk show couch,” said Matthew Jon Beck, a casting director who specializes in feature animation.

Voice-over work is also an easy way for actors to supplement their income.

“Actors on every level want to do voice-over work,” said Tim Curtis, who specializes in celebrity endorsements for agency WME. “It’s a fun thing for them to do, doesn’t take much time and can be really lucrative.”

Indeed it can. A celebrity voice easily might cost seven figures, according to agents, advertising executives and veteran voice actors.

“Celebrities can get a couple million for a commercial that a journeyman might get $3,000 to $5,000 for,” said Beau Weaver, a veteran voice actor whose credits include ad campaigns for Starbucks and El Pollo Loco.

Advertisers don’t mind shelling out more because they think being associated with a star benefits their brand.

“It’s kind of like paying a little more for a shirt,” said Rob Schwartz, chief creative officer at Chiat/ Day, whose clients include Nissan and Visa, whose ads feature Freeman’s voice. “Morgan is a great storyteller. He could read a phone book and you’d fall in love with him.”

Destino #74, by Salvador Dali, is shown in ‘Destino,’ a film begun in 1946 by Dali and Walt Disney.

Smith was on HBO. I am always looking to see if it is shown at any cable channels with no luck. I bought the movie through Amazon but it is in the “British Format” and my DVD player cannot play it.

Would you please tell me, if it is possible, when it is going to be shown again.

A: The production, written by the excellent Stephen Poliakoff, first aired on HBO in 2007. I did not find an upcoming showing or an HBO On Demand listing. It is listed on HBO Go, which makes programming available to HBO subscribers via computers, mobile devices and other gear. For more info, see www.hbogo.com.

Q: William Reynolds was on a favorite show of mine, “The F.B.I.” He was the partner of Lewis Ers-

kine (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.).

Is he still living? Although I don’t have cable TV or a DVD player, I sure would like to see the show again.

A: From what I can find, as of April 30, Reynolds is still with us at the age of 90.

Even though you do not have a DVD player, maybe a friend does — and you can order the first two seasons from Warner Bros.’

DVD-on-demand line at www.wbshop.com. When searching, make sure to type in FBI instead of F.B.I. And note that each season is split into two DVD boxes.

Reynolds had guest roles in a couple of those early episodes, but did not begin playing Special Agent Tom Colby until the third season, succeeding Stephen Brooks’ Special Agent Jim Rhodes.
