Many FH readers know I often use sit-coms as a sleep-aid when dealing with insomnia. For years, I avoided shows connected to Chuck Lorre, but lately, I've found myself really enjoying Mom. The entire cast is superb, especially Allison Janney, (Bonnie) who's skill and timing can save even the weakest of scripts.
Fans of the CBS show know it's gone through many cast changes over it's run, including ditching the kids, and focusing on the adults and the members of the support group. It was a welcome change, as it was only when Beth Hall, Mimi Kennedy and Jaime Presley were featured more that I really began enjoying the show.
Blades of Glory (2007)
Another welcomed addition was actor William Fichtner as Bonnie's love interest on the series. Although the show is definitely female focused, Bonnie needed a character other than her daughter to balance her out and allow her to grow.
As The World Turns (1987-1994)
Fichtner is superb in the role the Adam, in fact the talented actor's been superb in everything I've seen him in. Fichtner often plays supporting roles, and hasn't always gotten the attention and acclaim he deserves. Fichtner's appeared in many high profile roles including stints on television shows including; Prison Break, Invasion, The West Wing, Veep, and several years on As The World Turns.
Fichtner's film roles include high profile projects including; Quiz Show, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, Black Hawk Down, Blades of Glory, Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Crash. One role I can't forget it Fichtner's turn in 1999's Go. If you saw the film, you got a great view of the actors magnificently sculpted backside. Sad, this was the only public viewing, the only one I could find anyway....
Go (1999)
