‘FBIs’: CBS dramas stage a crossover

By

Jay Bobbin CBS’ “FBI” teams usually work different cases on Tuesday nights, but a rare crossover event is about to unite the three series.

On April 4, the Dick Wolfproduced crime dramas span continents — and, in two cases, switch time slots — to tell a new story. “FBI: International” leads the night as “FBI’s” Jubal and Nina (played by Jeremy Sisto and recurring guest star Shantel VanSanten) head for Italy to join Forrester (Luke Kleintank) and the “FBI: International” team to seek a missing, Rome-based U.S. businessman. The disappearance may be linked to a potential terror plot in New York, where “FBI’s” Maggie (Missy Peregrym) is prompted to

summon Remy of “FBI: Most Wanted” (Dylan McDermott) for help, counting on his background in dealing with global gangs.

“It actually spans (the production of) four or five episodes over all the different shows, because we can’t all be filming (the crossover story) at the same time,” Peregrym explains. “We’re just like, ‘How are we gonna pull this off?’ And then we do, and it’s like, ‘Yay!’ We’re also having to go international with it here, so it’s a lot.”

Noting that her own “FBI” series is “fast-paced anyway,” Peregrym acknowledges that each of the franchise’s shows has its own tone and style ... and she adds with a knowing laugh, “Ours is just chaos. We

get a script two days before we start filming it, and we just hit the ground running. And we’re all excited when we complete it.”

In terms of the characters from the parent “FBI” drama and their involvement in the crossover, Peregrym reports that the shared story is particularly “Scola-heavy,” referencing the federal agent played by John Boyd. Regular “FBI” viewers will realize that he has more than a casual link to the “FBI: International” hour, since Nina is pregnant with Scola’s child.

Getting to work with regular cast members from the other “FBI” shows is “fun, definitely,” Peregrym attests: “We show up and make the best thing we can. Everyone comes with an

idea of their character, and we just roll with it. We all have our processes and insert certain things into the script that might not necessarily be written. So, Dylan will do what he would do on his show on our show.”

Peregrym is grateful that the crossover comes near the end of the “FBI” season, rather than right after she returned from maternity leave last fall after the birth of her second child. “That would have been very hectic,” she confirms. “I still can’t believe I came back to work three months after having the baby, but she’s doing really well, and we’re kind of getting into the next phase of things.”

This is one of those interesting facts you’ve probably never thought about before. The clothing retail shop was originally called Hennes—Swedish for “hers”—before acquiring the hunting and fishing equipment brand Mauritz Widforss. Eventually, Hennes & Mauritz was shortened to

This new series, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of the events at Mt.

McIlroy seeks first win at Augusta National

At 33, Rory McIlroy has accomplished just about everything there is to accomplish in golf – multiple wins in majors, a FedEx Cup championship, money list title, World No. 1 ranking. But there is one glaring omission that is preventing from realizing another, a Masters title that would give him a career Grand Slam.

Indeed, the native of Northern Ireland has played well at Augusta National over the years, with a fourth place finish in 2015, ties for fifth in 2018 and 2020 and last year’s second place standing thanks to a sizzling final round. But no wins to show for it.

Entering Sunday 10 strokes back a year ago, McIlroy made birdies on six holes and an eagle on another in a round highlighted by a brilliant hole-out from a bunker on No. 18, to finish the day at eight-under 64. Unfortunately, it was not enough to overcome the deficit he had put himself in through the first three rounds and he wound up three strokes behind Scottie Scheffler, who bagged his first major.

As for this season, he’s happy with his performance overall and at Bay Hill in early March in particular, despite losing the lead in the final round and finishing second to Kurt Kitayama. He feels his driving and his overall play are getting to where he wants them to be just as the big tournament is coming into view.

He’ll be looking to don his first green jacket when he tees off in the golf year’s first major, the Masters, which airs Thursday through Sunday, April 6-9, on ESPN and CBS, from Augusta National in northwest Georgia.

BEST JOHN TRAVOLTA MOVIES

“Carrie” (1976) As a warm-up to his movie stardom, Travolta made himself evident as one of the tormentors of the telekinetic title heroine (Sissy Spacek) in the first film to be made from a Stephen King novel.

“Saturday Night Fever” (1977) He was a television star already thanks to “Welcome Back, Kotter,” but Travolta hit the Hollywood map in an even bigger way with his earnest performance as aspiring Brooklyn dancer Tony Manero. Here’s a classic example of a role that fit like a glove.

“Grease” (1978) Even if Travolta and Olivia Newton-John were a bit far along to be age-appropriate as teen romantics Danny and Sandy, their teaming in the musical has held up beautifully for 45 (!) years.

“Blow Out” (1981) Teaming with director Brian De Palma, Travolta showed depth as a movie sound man with the goods on a political scandal.

“Look Who’s Talking” (1989) Though a baby who talks (with the voice of Bruce Willis) is the show-stealer here, Travolta’s presence adds much to the popular comedy, which yielded two sequels.

“Pulp Fiction” (1994) Thanks to filmmaker and fan Quentin Tarantino, Travolta got back in the game as Samuel L. Jackson’s hit-man partner.

plans.

“Phenomenon” (1996) As an everyday fellow struck by lightning and made extraordinar y, Travolta does heartfelt work that’s genuinely lovely.

“Face/Off” (1997) Travolta has a blast channeling Nicolas Cage – and vice versa – in director John Woo’s switched-identities thriller.

“Primary Colors” (1998) Look closely under the Clintonesque makeup and manner. That’s really Travolta as an ethically malleable president.

“Be Cool” (2005) The sequel to “Get Shorty” finds Chili Palmer (Travolta) shifting his attention from the movie industry to the music business.

“Urban Cowboy” (1980) Travolta’s early winning streak continued as he wooed, won, lost and won back Debra Winger ... no “bull” about it. (If you’ve seen the movie, you know the reference.)

“Get Shorty” (1995) Elmore Leonard’s small-time enforcer character proves an excellent match for a cool and confident Travolta. “Broken Arrow” (1996) Travolta clearly has fun playing a bad guy, a military pilot who goes rogue and steals nuclear weapons, but a colleague he betrayed (Christian Slater) is determined to stop his

“Hairspray” (2007) Only someone as self-confident as Travolta would cross-dress to camp it up as Edna Turnblad, mom of the tale’s heroine. “Phenomenon”

Catherine Haena Kim

OF ‘THE COMPANY YOU KEEP’ ON ABC

What spoke to you about “The Company You Keep”?

Honestly, I’ve been calling this my dream role ever since the first read. There are a couple of different reasons that drew me to it. First, I love that you have two characters in Charlie and Emma who are very seemingly different at first glance. But you happen to meet them when they’re going through the exact same moment in both their lives. And it’s that moment when you meet somebody and they just get it, they get you, and you think, ‘Oh, it’s you. It’s gonna be you.’ And then it’s on.

And I love that you have this Asian American female protagonist and she’s navigating love and struggles in career and then she goes home to a mom that’s just a lot. And I just was really excited about playing a character like that that’s really fully fleshed out, Did your chemistry with Milo come right away?

I’m really grateful because he’s such a generous scene partner and also a fantastic producer. And we had the luxury of doing some rehearsals with our director for the pilot Ben Younger and an acting coach that he personally loves working with, Kim Gillingham. So I think having that creative space to collaborate and create trust together before we ever stepped on set when you’re being pulled in a million directions and the hours are crazy, it was just really nice.

And also Milo and I got to sit down and talk a few times before we actually started about our characters, our relationship as characters and also just in general how we wanted our set to be. I think things always trickle down from the top and we talked a lot about the kind of set we wanted to create as the lead actors in this show. Making sure that we do know everybody’s name and making sure that it’s a kind and professional set and then making sure everybody has fun because work is always stressful ... and we’re very mindful that everyone still goes home and has lives outside of work, even if we get to do things that are little kid dream stuff.

TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING, IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, AND HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATHS. (PROVERBS 3:5-6)

“Dear Mama” (FX — series premiere, April 21) Focusing on the lives and legacies of revolutionary activist Afeni and her son, Tupac Shakur, this five-part series from award-winning director Allen Hughes modifies the traditional documentary with a unique audio and video experience. It examines Tupac’s timeless message and the mother who shaped him. The series eschews strict chronology for a style and slides back and forth in time, finding links between mother and son, 1970s and 1990s, Black activism and hip hop.
