Australian Actors on American TV Shows

With all the attention and glory we give to stars like Nicole, Russell and Cate, it can be easy to forget that so many Aussie actors are making waves in Hollywood—but on TV. Thanks to True Blood, Ryan Kwanten is pretty much a household name, and Damages put Rose Byrne on the map and scored her Emmy nominations. Hollywood Reporter compiled a list of more Aussies who left our shores for the big bright lights of America. Click on to find out who they are.

Who Should Win the Emmy For Best Lead Actor, Drama?

As we continue to pick this year's Emmy winners, it's time to take a step up from supporting actors and actresses and take a closer look at the leads.

As we continue to pick this year's Emmy winners, it's time to take a step up from supporting actors and actresses and take a closer look at the leads. The race for best lead actor in a drama is a pack of heavy hitters to say the least—four of these guys have been nominated in their roles before! Let's start with the newcomers: Matthew Fox scored his first nod for the final season of Lost, while Kyle Chandler's name appears for the first time after being overlooked in past years for Friday Night Lights. This marks Hugh Laurie's fifth nomination for House and Bryan Cranston's third for Breaking Bad (Cranston is also undefeated thus far!). Michael C. Hall and Jon Hamm also have three nods apiece for Dexter and Mad Men, respectively. The competition is so fierce even I'm having trouble figuring out who deserves the trophy. That's why I need you all to weigh in and help me decide. So, who's your pick?

House Rundown, "Known Unknowns"

Now that the Oscar hoopla has started to die down, it's time to catch up on the latest going-ons with our favourite Sunday night medical drama.

Now that the Oscar hoopla has started to die down, it's time to catch up on the latest going-ons with our favourite Sunday night medical drama. This week's House case involved a young teenybopper with an ego and compulsive lying streak to boot. Sounds intriguing, but personally, I was more wrapped up in all of the personal drama going on with House and a certain fellow female doctor. Ready to cover the highlights? There's a major twist with a big reveal, so prepare for some spoilers!

House Rundown, "Brave Heart"

Wasn't this week's House incredibly satisfying?

Wasn't this week's House incredibly satisfying? There was no sign of Thirteen—bring her back!—but House helped resurrect a man from the dead, heard voices in his head (crazy), and made goo-goo eyes at Cuddy. It doesn't get much better than that. I especially enjoyed the sweet friendship moments that played out between the hard-hearted doc and Wilson. I'm ready to dissect it all—how about you? Let's start with the recap, shall we?

House Rundown, "Instant Karma"

This week's House continued to stick to its tried-and-true show recipe and our favorite doctor was there pulling the strings—even if he isn't technically in charge.

This week's House continued to stick to its tried-and-true show recipe and our favorite doctor was there pulling the strings—even if he isn't technically in charge. The episode answered one or two of my previous questions, and while the writers quickly tied up the dilemma involving last week's death of the dictator (breathe a collected sigh of relief), I highly doubt that Chase and Foreman's shared secret is just going to be swept under the rug for good. I'm curious to see how everything plays out, but for now, take a look at my questions (spoiler alert!) from this week's episode and share your thoughts.

House Rundown: "The Tyrant"

This week's episode of House brought us right back to the usual formula.

This week's episode of House brought us right back to the usual formula. You know, unknown medical mystery that causes the team to pull together to figure it out. Only this time, the team goes through some internal turmoil, as the person with the ailment is a genocidal dictator—played by an always terrific James Earl Jones. Personally, I think this episode is the start of a long arc for the season. What did you think? I've got a boatload of questions to ask you (spoilers ahead!) when you read more

House Rundown, "Epic Fail"

While last week's episode of House was an awesome look at the inner workings of House the man, it was nice to get back to the medical drama that we know and love—even if it wasn't quite business as usual.

While last week's episode of House was an awesome look at the inner workings of House the man, it was nice to get back to the medical drama that we know and love—even if it wasn't quite business as usual. It's interesting to see what happened while House was away and it was also fun to see how House was coping with being away.

Did you watch? What did you think? Let's discuss some of the key moments (spoilers ahead!).

  • Was anyone else thrown off by the video game starting? For a few seconds I thought my TiVo had recorded the wrong show. I must admit though, I loved the ridiculous gaming scenes, especially when they come back later with our fave doctors as characters.
  • What did you think of Foreman as boss? Do you think he has the chops to run the department? It didn't surprise me that he jumped at the chance, although I hated how he suddenly didn't want to listen to Thirteen.
  • While we're on the subject of Foreman and Thirteen, can I just say that I find their pairing totally forced? Were you surprised when he fired her at the end? I literally yelled at my TV when he did. Wouldn't you break up with him if you were in Thirteen's place?
  • Speaking of Thirteen, did you catch her Jeremy Piven mercury poisoning joke? If not, then as she said, go Google it.
  • What did you think of Wilson and House's cooking class brodate? It was hands-down my favourite moment of the evening. I just love their old married couple dynamic.
  • I know I just said that the brodate was my favourite moment, but how can I not mention the scene with Cuddy in the kitchen? I loved it when the random Chinese lady told Cuddy to kiss House or get out.
  • I was glad to see that Dr. Nolan is still on the show. I find him to be such a calming presence in the rest of the chaos and hope we get to see these therapy sessions for a little while longer.
  • Did you love the twist at the end? I knew that there was no way they could run the department without House. Although when Foreman had the breakthrough over pruned fingers, I wondered if it was possible to solve a medical mystery without an epiphany.

Well folks, what did you think? I thought it was a strong return for the show and I can't wait for next week's episode. How long will House stay clean? How long will the old gang (Cameron, Chase, and Foreman) be around? Especially since we know that Jennifer Morrison is leaving the show. Will Thirteen and Taub show up again? Something tells me they will, but then again, the writers have proven to be great at throwing us off, so we'll all just have to tune in and find out.
