- "Beauty and the Beast" de la CW terminará tras su cuarta temporada:
CW ha puesto fecha final para “Beauty and the Beast,” anunciando hoy martes que la próxima cuarta temporada de la serie será la última.

La serie, que fue creada por Sherri Cooper-Landsman y Jennifer Levin, está basada en la serie de la CBS de Ron Koslow de 1987, que estaba protagonizada por Linda Hamilton y Ron Perlman. Esta versión está protagonizada por Kristin Kreuk y Jay Ryan como una policía de NY y un antiguo soldado que están involucrados románticamente mientras que ella investiga el asesinato de su madre.

“Beauty and the Beast” nunca ha tenido muchos rátings, con un promedio de 0.6 en 18-49 y 1.6 millones totales de espectadores en directo estimados para su premiere en el año 2012-13. Parecía casi increíble que consiguiera una tercera temporada y los números probaron el por qué: la Season 3, que se estrenó el Junio pasado, promedió un 0.23 en las demos y casi 900,000 millones totales de espectadores, según Nielsen.

A pesar de esto, se conoce por tener una ferviente base de seguidores incluídos el presidente de la CW Mark Pedowitz.

“Realmente me gusta como una serie de verano,” le dijo Pedowitz a los periodistas durante la CW’s Television Critics Assn. press tour el pasado verano. “Uno de nuestros objetivos para la cadena era el tener una programación de un año. Estamos haciendo más y más de esto, y el tener a ‘Beauty and the Beast’ nos da guiones de programación para el verano. Estamos desarrollando otras cosas en este momento para el verano. Así es bque planeo el mantenerla ahí.”

La cuarta temporada de “Beauty and the Beast’s” contará de 13 episodios, y termina su producción el próximo mes, esperándose su emisión en algún momento durante la midseason o el verano del 2016.

- Kristin Kreuk habla sobre la Season 4 de ‘BatB’ Season 4: ¿Dónde están Catherine y Vincent? (zap2it):
Kristin Kreuk habla sobre la Season 4 de ‘BatB’ Season 4: ¿Dónde están Catherine y Vincent?
Por Jay Bobbin 02 Junio, 2016


Zap2it: Though the fourth and final season of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ begins airing Thursday (June 2) on The CW, the filming of it has been done for a while. Have you adjusted?

Kristin Kreuk: It’s always a weird transition when you stop working. I’m sure it’s like that for everybody who ends up being between jobs, but it’s been really nice. I actually just started school — I never had a chance to go to secondary school, because I was working — and that’s really wonderful. It feels like a funny readjustment, but it’s good and positive.

Zap2it: How was it to make the fourth season, on which you also were a producer, knowing it would be the end of the series?

Kristin Kreuk: We really liked having that. You know that the stories are all going to wrap up, there’s no sense of anything being unknown. Everyone can complete their arc, and that felt really good.

The season starts with (Catherine and Vincent) on their honeymoon, which I think the fans will enjoy. Of course, things will go crazy … as they do every year. It’s a really interesting final arc for the two of them, trying to close out all the threats against them so they can just be normal again. There’s someone who’s looking for beasts, and there’s a bounty out there, so figuring that out is what their focus is.

Zap2it: The humor level between Vincent and Catherine was amped up last season. Is there more of that in the final round?

Kristin Kreuk: I think we still have that tone. There’s some pretty goofy stuff. Jay (Ryan, who plays Vincent) also is just very funny, and he’ll bring humor to the plate often. There’s still a lightness to the show in the midst of all the drama.

- 'Beauty And The Beast:' Austin Basis habla sobre su última temporada como J.T. (forbes):
'Beauty And The Beast:' Austin Basis habla sobre su última temporada como J.T.
Por Heather Newman 02 Junio 2016


‘Beauty and the Beast’ premieres today in its fourth and final season. The one character who has arguably changed the most over the course of the series isn’t the leading man, but rather the wingman: J.T., best friend and caretaker for the “beast,” Vincent.

We caught up with Austin Basis, who plays J.T., to talk about his character, the end of the show, and his other passions, including some pretty awesome J.T.-inspired poetry and some inspiring work with diabetes-related causes. Need to catch up? You can stream the first three seasons from CBS All Access (do it in the trial week and it’s free,) and the first two seasons on Netflix. Spoilers for previous seasons lurk inside:

QUESTION: You’ve been a bit of a man Friday for Vincent in ‘Beauty and the Beast:’ friend, confidant, manager, matchmaker. How do you go about creating your character in a way that helps him be more than just the lead’s buddy?

Basis: I always start by asking: how is this character like me and how does this character differ from me? Since I approach every part trying to use as much of my own experience as possible, it’s easier to play the qualities in J.T. that are similar to me. Then, for the qualities in which we differ, I create an environment using sense memory technique I learned at the Actors Studio that allows me to play against my own personality.

J.T. thinks of Vincent as his brother, and I actually have a younger brother, so those choices can be deeper and align with my real life. However, I am much more laid back than J.T., so in order to become as nervous as I need to be, I create scenarios that make me nervous–using experiences from my own life. I know very little about computers, so for that I have to do my research by googling terms or asking my wife! All this contributes to creating J.T. as a three-dimensional, real person. I do my best to bring another level to what the writers give to me. Getting good writing is half the battle. It’s easy to make the stakes life or death on a show like BATB.

Q: Why does J.T. stay in this relationship? What is it that keeps him with Vincent?

Basis: Loyalty, for one. They’ve been best friends since childhood. They’ve always depended on each other. We worked out a backstory early on in Season 1 in which both their parents weren’t really in the picture, they were absentee for the most part. So J.T., Vincent, and his brothers were left to fend for themselves. In New York, that goes a long way- friendship and brotherhood. I would also say guilt. Guilt drives a lot of people in this world. J.T. feels responsible for all the crap that has happened to Vincent, so he is forever trying to redeem himself and correct those mistakes of the past. Plus, J.T. looks up to Vincent and envies him in a lot of ways. I don’t think anything drives him away, that’s been proven.

Q: How would you say he’s changed as a person over the past three seasons?

Basis: J.T. has evolved from a guilt-ridden, cynical person with no life; who [then] put his life on hold to care for his friend and support them both; into a person that has managed to find a life of his own with the woman he loves, while still being able to be loyal to his friend. He has developed into a more patient, sensitive and romantic man with a sense of courage and valor not seen in your average hacker-biochemistry professor without losing his sense of humor and sarcasm. It’s all a testament to the trust the writers had in me and the character of J.T.

Q: What’s your favorite episode, and why?

Basis: That’s always a tough one for me, because lots of episodes are difficult to shoot, but come out amazingly. While some episodes that are delightful to film don’t always come out to my liking. It’s almost a rule at this point: If you’re having a horrible time filming, it’s going to be an awesome episode! And if everything is honky dory, watch out ’cause you’re in trouble!

That being said, there are a few episodes every season that I am extremely proud of. Dare I say a few of my favorite episodes are in [the upcoming] Season 4, namely episodes 404, 405, 412, and 413. The scene from Season 2 in which J.T. confesses his secret to Vincent will stand out as one of my favorites. A few scenes coming up this season may surpass that one, but I can’t reveal those without major spoilers!

Q: What attracted you to this part?

Basis: Gary Fleder, the director of the pilot. He brought me in to meet the producers, Sherri Cooper and Jennifer Levin. I worked with him twice before on “Life on Mars” and ”Life Unexpected” and he thought I was perfect for J.T. And I guess the producers, CBS and CW agreed!

Q: Were you in favor of the revelation that J.T. had superpowers? Do you think it added to JT’s meaning in the series? How did it change your relationship to the show as an actor–and J.T.’s relationship with Vincent in the show world?

Basis: Yes. I spoke with Brad Kern about all the possible scenarios after J.T. was injected with the serum. I was glad it was a double-edged sword. J.T. got powers, but there were consequences. I also think of J.T. as an unconventional hero. He’s always been courageous in the face of danger, but having powers forced him onto the front lines. He was able to save the day in a few episodes, which is something that comic sidekicks on TV shows don’t normally get to do. I mean, what nerd/comic-book-geek wouldn’t love super powers, right?!

I think ultimately these “powers” made J.T. more of a pivotal character in the series. He had his own arc that didn’t depend entirely on what Cat and Vincent were doing. It gave me as an actor more to work with, it was more fun and challenging. I think his relationship with Vincent was deepened because they not only shared an upbringing together, they both shared the experience of living with mutated DNA.

Q: What will you miss most when the series is over?

Basis: I think I’ll miss playing J.T. the most. It was a privilege getting to inhabit such a dynamic character for four years. I also enjoyed working with the cast and crew in Toronto and eating at all the great restaurants that city has to offer. Lastly, I’ll miss interacting with the fans on social media. The Beasties are a special bunch. I’ll miss the excitement of finishing an episode and waiting to see how the fans react to it. It’s a real blessing to have a group of enthusiastic people to appreciate your work every episode.

Q: Would you mind if we shared one of your poems?

Basis: I’ve written a love poem by J.T. about Tess called “DON’T MESS WITH TESS.” I find it helpful to write poems in the character’s voice to try and get inside their head. It’s a creative way to do some fun character work. I’ve done it for several other characters I’ve played. It’s extremely enlightening to think and try to write like a character.

Q: You’re a celebrity ambassador for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. What drew you towards diabetes as a cause? How have your fans helped?

Basis: I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes about 10 days before my 9th birthday, so I’ve had it for more than 30 years. Growing up, my parents provided a great environment and allowed me to have a normal childhood. But I didn’t have a role model with Type 1 Diabetes that I could look to. I want to be that role model in kids’ lives, someone that they can look at and say “I can do that, too!”

It’s important for people to have success stories to inspire them. As an actor, you’re told over and over early on how hard it is to succeed and have a career. But it was the success stories of actors I knew that inspired me and told me that a life as an actor was possible & within reach. I think it’s the same as a person living with Type 1 Diabetes. Providing these kids an example of a success story is important to me.

The Beasties have raised about $23,000 for the JDRF so far, and [they're] looking to push it over $30,000 by the end of the year. I’d say that’s pretty darn helpful. Because of their passion for the show and my connection to diabetes, they’ve created these campaigns to raise money and awareness. It’s amazing and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Q: What one thing about the show would you like to tell us about, that people never ask?

Basis: Just the thought, preparation and effort that goes into every moment and frame of every episode. Hundreds of people contribute at every level–from the people in [Los Angeles] writing each episode and deciding on the storylines, to the people that carry equipment all day, to the artists that build, paint and dress the sets, to our fabulous costume, hair, make-up, special and visual effects departments, to the wonderful camera crews we’ve had, to the directors and producers in Toronto that make the show happen on a day-to-day basis. I think it always comes down to the quality of the finished product, but I have such a respect for the process of how a TV show gets made, and think that sharing that with our loyal fans can only strengthen their appreciation for the show.

Austin Basis – Beauty and the Beast
Por starrymag 02 Junio, 2016


Q) What are the recent projects that you are working on?

A) Right now, it’s “Beauty and the Beast,” but I’m constantly creating, writing and developing my own stuff while auditioning for other peoples’ projects.

Q) Where do we pick up with the show and with JT?

A) We pick up in the honeymoon portion of Vincent (Jay Ryan) and Catherine’s (Kristin Kreuk) relationship. They just got married at the end of Season Three and at the beginning of Season Four we find them on their honeymoon. I don’t want to spoil anything, but from the trailer they are in Paris and everyone else kind of got back to their normal lives. I think half the group is content with this new chapter in their lives and half are not content. They are not necessarily feeling fulfilled with the buzz or high of adrenaline that comes with life and death circumstance. JT is one of those people who feels he isn’t fulfilling his greater purpose in this world by being a professor at the university. His relationship with Tess (Nina Lisandrello) is moving forward and they are possibly moving into together. He still wonders where he fits and belongs in this new chapter in life and whether or not his greater purpose will be realized. This effects his relationship with Tess. It kind of puts a holding pattern on their relationship moving forward and that is a back and forth throughout the season along with all of the things happening in the “beast world” like bounty hunters and possibility of exposure. I think fans have realized that after a while in today’s modern world of cell phones and cameras, the possibility that people finding out about a beast being in this world has increased exponentially. In Season Four, we hear rumblings of that and start to deal with it in that will hopefully keep the “genie in the bottle.” Or the beast in the bottle!

Q) The show seems to be packing so much into this season and going to a lot of darker places.

A) I don’t know if in the beginning of this season we knew it would be the last season. So, the set up of the season was this new bounty hunter, new people and possibly government entities hunting down the last beast in the world. Exposure had to be dealt with because of today’s culture anything can happen in a camera culture. In getting thirteen episodes this season (as opposed to the first seasons where there were twenty-two episodes) there is less time to fill space. There are episodes in every show, whether it be twenty two or twenty four episodes, that are just filler. It’s really hard and people take it forgranted with cable shows how hard it is to do twenty-two or so episodes. So, when you have thirteen episodes and the luxury of cable TV format, not only will every episode be filled with action and character stuff but you don’t have to waste time coming up with alternate storylines that distract from the ultimate main storyline you are telling. These last thirteen episodes will be a rollercoaster ride and I have said it before that there will be a few of episodes that will stand up to the best episodes we have done. I think when all is said and done, they will live in the fans’ memories as some of their favorite episodes.

Q) What has been your favorite part of JT’s character development?

A) I feel like JT’s integrity has never been violated. I think characters and stories need to expand, especially if a show lacks years or seasons. They start stretching the capabilities of the characters and who those characters are. I feel like with JT; however, his character has changed over the years his integrity has always remained intact and his integrity is totally embedded in his loyalty to Vincent, Cat, Tess and the greater good in general. And Heather (Nicole Gale Anderson) too! There was a big episode in Season Three where JT kind of became the hero to Heather’s journey and protected her like an older brother. The integrity and loyalty of JT and the courage that a character like this (who initially on first introduction) was the comic relief/ confident to the main character. Through the timeline, he was there to do the pep talk speeches to Vincent. He was allowed by the writers, network, etc. to become a little more three dimensional. On procedurals and other shows, there are guys in the tech world that do research or are in the lab (like CSI work, field work or computer work) that stay within that world for the most part. JT has been allowed to have a love interest that far exceeds the level of girls he might go out with. He’s dating a hot cop! [laughs] He’s had the ability to step into the hero shoes every so often and be the loyal wingman to the show’s main male character. The layers and the sides to the character that have played out over the series I’m definitely grateful to have played that because as you go off and read new roles and audition, it may have some of those elements but it doesn’t have all of those elements of that character.

Q) What were some of your favorite episodes this season?

A) It has been a pleasure and a privilege to play a character like that and it comes in at episode four. He really puts himself out there in the line of fire in a different way. I think it will be fun and revealing for him as a person. As an actor, it gave me more to work with and a new situation to play. It’s always fun to be in new situations on a TV show. In Season One or Two, I found myself in similar situations. Lately though, I haven’t had to do that on the show. It’s been a bit of a roller-coaster in the sense that I don’t have to worry about repeating myself or find myself playing the same thing that has already been played. So, in episode four, JT has adventures and really has some fun in the field (let’s just say). Episodes four, twelve and thirteen are great JT episodes. Also, episode three is a great JT episode and there are a couple episodes between five and twelve where JT has his moments. Even the finale! Episode and five and twelve may stand the test of time where the fans will respond to with, “Oh my gosh!” Between exposure (in every sense of the word) the fans will like it. There is beast exposure and exposure-exposure. Because of last season (especially in episode twelve) references to how far the characters have come and where they come from. It’s that history of the show without doing a montage episode of the best moments from the show. It incorporates it into the season’s arc and allows you to be in the present conflict while kind of harkening back to these moments of episodes past that have held up as fan favorite moments, but also pivotal moments in the course of the series. I think between exposure and nostalgia and those wow moments (and maybe aha moments) this season I think are what the fans take away from it.

Q) What have you discovered about yourself or your craft from being a part of the show?

A) The simplest thing is how long it takes me to memorize a scene. Early on, because of the re-write process and how long it takes the studio, network and writers to get through all the drafts of the script and get it approved – some cases we would get the final scripts the day before we shot them. The script you have to memorize. So, between with getting done with one day of work and then going home and memorizing all of the next day’s episodes scenes I’ve had several days throughout the last few scenes where I’ve had upwards of five scenes to memorize the night before because we got the script late. I’d get home at 11pm and knowing there are five scenes that are forty-five minutes per scene and an hour and a half every two page scene. So, that would be about four to five hours. I figured out how long it takes to memorize a scene and also that the ability to kind of give over to the process in those situations. Everyone knows you have short time and maybe there will be a day where we get one or two takes per shot set up. So, there is a bit more freedom and less pressure on yourself. They may be better work too because you’ll be more relaxed. If I have a short time with scripts, it’s taught me to sometimes it is better to let it go and give over to the moment and trust that your work will be there independent of you holding onto the handlebars and controlling every moment.

Q) Will the fans be satisfied with the ending of “Beauty and The Beast?”

A) I hope so! It’s interesting because there are certain ways certain shows end. Sometimes it is taboo. There is always a sense of closure, but whether that closure can lead to an enjoyment into the future of the series that is part of how our series ends. Hopefully, the fans will be able to take after the series ends into the future the enjoyment of watching the entire series and continue watching it whether it is watching it in reruns (syndication) or on DVD. The ability for the fans to have that enjoyment after the series ends I guarantee there will be tears shed and sometimes there is joy and sometimes non-joyful tears. It will be emotional because it is the last episode and because of the emotional rollercoaster the writers have always put us on. DVR it because you are going to want to watch it again and again!

Q) JT has been quite a fan favorite from the start. What do you attribute that to?

A) I feel I’ve been lucky enough to get cast as characters that come from an every-man’s perspective and generally tend to be the voice of reason. That voice of reason is usually the thought process of the audience. In this weird wacky world of beasts, sci-fi and mythology and all the other things that have come into play, you have a scientist computer hacker guy with a somewhat cynical sense of humor bringing a sense of realism and connection for the audience that sometimes might be disconnected from the fantasy of this beautiful romance. To speak for the audience and kind of be the voice of reason, that the audience can relate to, is something where I kind of feel like I speak for the every man and the normal guy in extraordinary circumstances. He’s that nerd outsider that has been put into these extraordinary situations and had this epic lifestyle thrust upon him, but has always maintained his sense of reality. He kind of always keeps his feet on the ground. His heart and head are in the right direction and I think the fans have recognized that. I’ve tried to put that into the execution of the role so I could be that for the audience. It’s never a bad thing when you can make people laugh or amuse them with your sarcastic quips.

Q) What was it like filming the last episode?

A) It’s such an awkward thing to end a series that has been going like a freight train over four years and working as a machine. So, when you end the last day it’s awkward because we are all doing the day’s work, but you’re also saying goodbye, too. It also depends on the tone of the scene you are filming on the last day. When we did the end of Season Three it was the wedding, the bar scene. Part of it was celebratory and a fun couple of last scenes. They tried to schedule like that for this season, but for some reason this season it didn’t work out. The wrap party was the weekend before. So, I wasn’t even able to go to the wrap party! You’re rushing to say goodbye after these long term relationships with these people so you kind of put it all into a card and hope that the cast and crew carries that experience and memories and your sentiments along with them. It’s kind of impersonal, but also vulnerable. I write things in a card thanking people for the experiences that we shared and I don’t necessarily get to see them once I give them the card because that’s what happens with the end of the series. I didn’t really want to leave set, but we were lucky enough to do a mini cast, crew and producers dinner on the last night for a kind of smaller celebration that allowed for more closure than normal. We did party into the wee hours of the morning, but it was only a few of us – not the entire cast and crew. There is already post-partum depression because you are giving out gifts and it feels surreal. The cast and crew are trying to do their job and you’re also saying goodbye. It’s never quite cathartic, but that’s how it works sometimes.
