Ask Stacy - Week of January 22, 2011

Share Comment

DEAR STACY: Has Betty White starred in more TV series than any other actor? I'm betting she has. My co-worker says it's Sharon Gless who has. Please settle this. — Angel M., Cedar Rapids, Iowa

DEAR ANGEL: Going over their respective credits, it appears White and Gless have each been a part of 10 scripted television series (comedy or drama), including their respective current shows, "Hot in Cleveland" and "Burn Notice." However, if you add White's variety shows — starting with "Hollywood on Television" of 1949-1952 — and her "Just Men" game show that she hosted, the 89-year-old national treasure has been part of 17 shows on a regular basis. And that is not even counting her innumerable guest-star turns on episodic television, her TV movies and her game-show appearances. And commercials. And parade hostings. And sketch comedy parts. And so on. On top of that, she has a sizeable credit list in feature films.

DEAR STACY: Please tell about James Maslow, who is on "Big Time Rush." I really like him. — Kayla F., Spokane, Wash.

DEAR KAYLA: Born in New York and raised in the scenic seaside town of La Jolla, Calif., the 20-year-old talent says he's been preparing for his role on "Big Time Rush" almost as long as he can remember. He just didn't know it. "I've been singing and studying music my whole life.

I got my start singing in choirs when I was 6 years old. My mom dropped me off at church choir without even asking me. I hated it for the first two weeks, but something happened a few weeks later, and I fell in love with it. That led to working with the San Diego Opera and then in eighth grade, I decided to go to a performing arts school. The rest of high school, I studied musical theater so this show is a perfect fit." He's happy that the show "brings such a positive message. A lot of teen shows deal with the drama and the dark side of all of that. We provide a show that allows everyone to watch and forget about all of the bad things in the world and just have fun."

DEAR STACY: Can you tell me if "Breaking Bad" will be coming back, and when? Also, I heard that the actor who plays Walter White Jr. on the show really has cerebral palsy. Is that true? — Billy C., Chattanooga, Tenn.

DEAR BILLY: Yes, RJ Mitte, who plays Bryan Cranston's son on the award-winning AMC drama, has a mild case of cerebral palsy in real life. The series team cranked up production again this month for a fourth, 13-episode season that will debut this summer.

DEAR STACY: Who does the voiceover for the Chevrolet Cruze commercials?

He sounds so familiar. — Rae G., Bakersfield, Calif.

DEAR RAE: That's Tim Allen on the Chevy spots.
