Ryan Gosling OF BREAKER HIGH ON UPN/YTV

Q: Someone told me that Ryan Gosling was a child star on television. Is that true?

A: It is, though he ultimately limited his home-screen career so that he would be considered for dramatic roles in movies, which he feared his TV fame was interfering with. He tried out for a mid-1990s version of “The Mickey Mouse Club” and landed the job, being cast along with Justin Timberlake (who reportedly became a good friend of his at the time), Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. He relocated from his native Canada to Orlando, Fla., for that two-year gig.

After that ended, Gosling went back to Canada and found work on such shows as “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” and “Goosebumps,” and he had a leading role in the comedy-drama series “Breaker High.” He then went to New Zealand for the title part in the show “Young Hercules,” which was the project that made him decide to pursue a different direction with his career, largely since he wanted to play a variety of roles.

Gosling’s agent parted ways with him, but the actor still secured parts in such movies as “Remember the Titans” (2000), “The Believer” (2001), “Murder by Numbers” (2002) and “The United States of Leland” (2003). He really cemented his place as a film star with the 2004 hit “The Notebook,” which teamed him with Rachel McAdams (with whom he had a personal relationship after the filming). After that, Gosling continued to focus on feature films almost exclusively. Somewhat ironically, his next one is a reboot of a TV series, “The Fall Guy”; it’s slated to be in theaters in early May.

Los Angeles Dodgers host division rivals San Diego Padres

The 2024 Major League Baseball season is in full swing as the star-studded Los Angeles Dodgers host the new-look San Diego Padres Sunday, April 14, at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. As both teams get set to wrap up their first regular season series matchup, all the action broadcasts live on ESPN.

In what has already been a thrilling start to the season, the Dodgers are hoping to continue their dominance going into this year after coming off their fourth consecutive 100-win full season, becoming the first MLB team in history to accomplish the feat.

Playing for a team that already has the post-season in mind, Los Angeles superstar Mookie Betts is coming off one of the best seasons of his career in 2023, hitting a career-high 39 home runs. He led the league in leadoff homers with 12 and finished second in voting for the National League Most Valuable Player, while missing only 10 games and earning his seventh MLB all-star selection.

Meanwhile, the Padres are hoping to build up some momentum after last season, which saw the team miss the playoffs and part ways with superstar outfielder Juan Soto and Cy Young winner Blake Snell on the heels of an underwhelming year.

With the Dodgers boasting a highly talented team — featuring three former league MVPs — it leaves no doubt that, on paper, they are the favorites to win it all, but not if their National League West rivals can spoil the party.

Full name: Marcus Lynn “Mookie” Betts

Birthdate: Oct. 7, 1992 (31)

Birthplace: Nashville, Tenn.

Height/weight: 5-9/180 pounds

Team(s): Los Angeles Dodgers (2020-present), Boston Red Sox (2014-2019)

Position(s): Right fielder/ Second baseman/Shortstop Honors and achievements: 2x World Series Champion (2018, 2020), AL MVP (2018), 7x All-Star (2016-2023), 6x Golden Glove Award (2016-2020), 6x Silver Slugger Award (2016, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023), 3x All-MLB First Team (2020, 2022, 2023)

Despite her career and fame continuing to skyrocket, actress Anna Victoria Alcott (Emma Roberts) has been struggling in her personal life. While the world around her seems to be closing in, Anna must keep her chin up and a smile in place as Hollywood’s biggest night approaches. An all-new episode of “American Horror Story: Delicate” debuts Wednesday, April 17, on FX, with video extras and more online at fxnetworks.com/shows/american-horror-story/ ahs-delicate/video-extras/extras

‘Sympathy’ for the novel:

Oh, Downey Jr. star in Thanh Nguyen novel-turned-series

When a person immigrates to the United States of America, they come with their own set of experiences, for better or — as in the case of HBO’s newest series — for worse. The new seven-episode limited series “The Sympathizer” begins Sunday, April 14, on HBO and HBO’s streaming service, Max.

Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name by Vietnamese-American professor and author Viet Thanh Nguyen, “The Sympathizer” follows a young, French-Vietnamese man (played by Hoa Xuande, “Cowboy Bebop”), who had been placed in South Vietnam for the duration of the Vietnam War, working as a plant.

As the war approaches its end in the mid1970s, the man (hereafter referred to as “the Captain”) lands in the United States and begins to live his life as a refugee in Los Angeles. Little do those around him know, the Captain has been tasked with gaining information on the U.S. government and reporting his findings back home to the Communist-propelled Viet Cong.

“I am a spy, a sleeper, a spook, a man of two faces,” says the Captain (also the narrator) at the outset of the 2015 novel and series’ source material. “Perhaps not surprisingly, I am also a man of two minds, ... able to see any issue from both sides. Sometimes I flatter myself that this is a talent ... [but] I wonder if what I have should even be called talent. After all, a talent is something you use, not something that uses you. The talent you cannot not use, the talent that possesses you — that is a hazard.”

As illustrated by the main character in the very first lines of Nguyen’s bestselling novel, duality is at the heart of “The Sympathizer.” Whether tackling the intricate moral quandaries that separate right from wrong, the complex and imperfect biases of political lefts and rights, or struggling with one’s own par-

PUZZLE SOLUTIONS

entage (as is, for the Captain, a hated French father and an adored Vietnamese mother), “The Sympathizer” always straddles the line between, at least, two possible outcomes.

But if all this talk of dichotomy has you seeing double, don’t fret. You may just be seeing the same thing — or person, as the case would have it — twice. In fact, Marvel Cinematic Universe star Robert Downey Jr. (“Iron Man,” 2008) plays not just two roles, but four — so you could be seeing double twice!

Downey Jr., who is recognizable in at least one of his four roles, often stars in heavy prosthetics and costuming alongside up-andcomer Xuande, whose credits to date included mostly Vietnamese film and TV content until his 2021 stint as Lin in Netflix’s live-action adaptation of “Cowboy Bebop.” While very little is shared about any of Downey Jr.’s characters, a quick look at the official teasers reveals that he is largely involved in nearly every step of the well-crafted plot.

Joining Downey Jr. for “Sympathizer” star power is Canadian icon Sandra Oh, best known for her roles in ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy,” AMC/BBC America’s “Killing Eve” and Netflix’s “The Chair.” Oh stars as Ms. Sofia Mori, a California-born, Japanese-American secretary for Occidental College’s Department of Oriental Studies. Here she works with the Captain and finds herself drawn to him as they slowly get to know more about one another.

“The Sympathizer” also stars Duy Nguyen (“The Night Logan Woke Up”), Scott Ly (“A Tourist’s Guide to Love,” 2023), Fred Nguyen Khan (“Transplant”), Toan Le (“Simply Fobulous,” 2005), Tien Pham (“Desperate Waters,” 2019), Tom Dang (“Z Nation”), VyVy Nguyen (“Dogs in Space”), Kieu Chinh (“The Joy Luck Club,” 1993) and Kayli Tran (“Ambulance,” 2022).

There’s no better feeling than getting picked first. With the Indiana Fever “first up to bat” in this year’s WNBA draft, speculation is swirling that Caitlin Clark may be their coveted first pick, with Stanford’s Cameron Brink following in a close second. While other players anxiously await their fate, fans continue to wonder where LSU’s Angela Reese may land. The 2024 WNBA Draft broadcasts live from the Brooklyn Academy of Music Monday, April 15, on ESPN, with an “F.A.Q” and more available at wnba.com/ news/2024-wnba-draft-faq

Nestor Carbonell OF SHOGUN ON FX/HULU

Q: Was that Nestor Carbonell I saw on “Shogun”? I haven’t seen him since “Lost.” What else has he been doing?

A: It’s hard to believe that “Lost” ended 14 years ago — hard because people still talk about it, and because Nestor Carbonell, like his “Lost” character, doesn’t seem to age.

Carbonell played Richard Alpert on “Lost” — a mysterious figure who first appears in flashbacks but is later revealed to be one of the people who were already living on the supposedly deserted island. He’s also revealed to be immortal — a fact which, by the time he was introduced in the third season, wasn’t all that outlandish by the show’s standards.

In real life, Carbonell is, in fact, a real human being who just happens to look 40 forever. That’s helped him establish himself as a serious TV supporting man, often playing serious professionals reacting to the heightened circumstances around them.

While you did, in fact, see him in FX’s “Shogun,” his first post-”Lost” show was a bit of a flop. “Ringer” got just one season on The CW, from 2011 to 2012 (so, just a year after “Lost” ended), with Carbonell playing an uptight FBI agent assigned to protect the show’s protagonist (played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, also seeking a career-defining role post-”Buffy the Vampire Slayer”).

But Carbonell’s biggest role was probably the one that came a couple of years later, playing another lawman, Sheriff Alex Romero on A&E’s “Bates Motel.” This prequel to the 1960 slasher classic “Psycho” reunited Carbonell with “Lost” co-creator Carlton Cuse.

Since then Carbonell has been blending guest arcs with a turn to directing (he helmed an episode of “Law & Order” last year, 32 years after doing a bit part on the show’s second season).

That brings us to now when, as you say, he just appeared in a few episodes of the mega-budget FX miniseries “Shogun.” At the same time, he also has a supporting role in the Apple TV+ series “The Morning Show.”

In the meantime, he also keeps up a busy sideline as an indie-film supporting star. He has two new movies now in post-production, though neither one — the dystopian drama “Motherland” or the romantic thriller “The Image of You” — has a release date yet.
