“Old Spice Guy” lands a recurring role on ABC’s Charlie’s Angels

Isaiah Mustafa, better known as the “Old Spice Guy” has been announced as a recurring member of the upcoming ABC “Charlie’s Angels” reboot.

Mustafa will appear as the former fiancé of angel Kate Prince (played by Annie Ilonzeh.) His role, Ray Goodson, is a police detective who has a run in or two with the net batch of angels (via TVLine.) Mustafa has been seen on NCIS, Castle, Chuck and in the movie “Horrible Bosses” but this is probably his largest role since appearing as the face of Old Spice on a number of commercials and funny YouTube videos.

Charlie’s Angels premieres on Thursday September 22nd at 8pm, but Mustafa’s episodes are set to begin a few weeks after. Watch the trailer for Charlie’s Angels below, as well as the most popular “Old Spice Guy” commercials after the jump.

Videopolis – Glee’s Darren Criss sings Belle (aka Before They Were Stars)

The one standout from last season’s popular TV show Glee has to be newcomer Darren Criss. But, like many Hollywood stars, before he hit it big, he was just another college student in his dorm room banging out the covers on youtube. Here he is… Read More »Videopolis – Glee’s Darren Criss sings Belle (aka Before They Were Stars)

D23 Expo Recap: Day 2

  • by

Hello, and welcome to the D23 Expo, Day 2 (for more expo coverage read my D23 Expo Day 1 and Alison’s D23 Expo Day 3 recaps!) where things were taken up a big ol’ notch. I know, I couldn’t believe it either.

This is where you say, “How in the world did they top the first day? Nothing could be sweeter than Kermit the Frog and Rowlf the Dog singing a tribute to the late, great Jim Henson! Nothing could be better than Dick Van Dyke in concert!

Fair enough. However, where Day 1 was a tip of the hat to Disney legends, Day 2 was about the now and the immediate future. Hence John Lasseter introducing Billy Crystal to a standing ovation (Lasseter also received a standing ovation) while discussing the upcoming Pixar film Monsters University. Also, Jason Segel coming out with Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy to discuss the new Muppet Movie. And of course, the Avengers assembling. On stage. That’s right, with the exception of the Hulk and Captain America, the entire team came out to watch a trailer that they had never seen. Robert Downey, Jr. made us watch it twice. Basically, it was a parade of celebrities (including Jennifer Garner, Sarah Silverman, and Jon Cryer, to name but a few) and Disney awesomeness (including Rich Ross, Andrew Stanton, and Marvel’s Kevin Feige, to again name but a few). My inner geek setting was at 11.

Hurricane Irene tracking away from Florida

According to latest National Hurricane Center forecasts Hurricane Irene is tracking east away from Florida. This is likely the last update I’ll make, unless the storm tacks westward, in which case I’ll be back like a bad penny. Already, there are two more potential disturbances… Read More »Hurricane Irene tracking away from Florida

D23 Expo Recap: Day 1

  • by

Friday, August 19 was opening day of the D23 Expo (I’m working under the assumption that you are familiar with D23) and it kicked off with a bang. Or a mouse, as the case may be. It always starts with a mouse.

D23 crowdsWhile the expo was open to the general ticket-buying public, it did offer a number of perks specifically to official D23 members, such as discounted passes, special “members only” events and early admission. It pays to belong, people!

Friday’s itinerary started at 9:00 a.m. with two of the aforementioned members only events, namely the Disney Store Opening Ceremony and the Radio Disney Road Crew Dance Party.

Other events that morning included an art contest with Disney.com, vintage footage showcasing the history of the Disneyland Hotel (congrats, DH, on the new ranking!), meet and greets with artists Jim Salvati and Robert Olszewski of the Disney Store and Disney Dream, respectively, and characters from Disney Channel’s Jake and the Never Land Pirates.

Then it was time for the 2011 Disney Legends Ceremony, which was, as you might imagine, magical. However, not everyone was able to attend the ceremony, so they had to settle for other really cool things like The Wonderful Words of Disney… Behind the Page: Kingdom Keepers presentation with Ridley Pearson. I would have loved to have attended this event to discuss some of my issues with the continuity, or lack thereof, within the series, but alas, Mr. Pearson was spared my fanboy criticism, and is probably the better for it.Read More »D23 Expo Recap: Day 1
