Executive Producers David Milch and Michael Mann, in conjunction with television network HBO, have released a statement that they are halting all future production of horseracing drama Luck after a third horse had to be put down on Tuesday over an injury sustained on the set of the show.

Tuesday morning a mare reared up on its hind legs and fell backwards, breaking its neck in the process, and had to be euthanized due to the severity of the injury. The tragedy is the third of its kind after two more horses had to be put down during filming of the first season of the show in 2011.

HBO's Luck isn't accurately reflected by its title. It's much more calculated than that.

Even though the network previewed the first episode of the nine-part miniseries not so long ago, there should still be plenty of eyeballs as it officially arrives tonight, if only because of the pedigree. The series is written by David Milch, who already wowed HBO viewers with Deadwood, and directed by Michael Mann.

Its cast, led by Dustin Hoffman, is a cornucopia of familiar faces for TV buffs, including Dennis Farina (Law & Order), Jill Hennessy (Law & Order) and Richard Kind (Spin City). Even the s...

A David Milch/Michael Mann collaboration, LUCK is a behind-the-track look at the world of horse racing and gambling’s denizens – owners, trainers, jockeys and gamblers. The nine-episode season, starring Oscar® winner Dustin Hoffman and Oscar® nominee Nick Nolte, debuts this SUNDAY, JAN. 29 (9:00-10:00 pm ET/PT), with other episodes debuting on subsequent Sundays at the same time.

As the series opens, Chester “Ace” Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) is released from three years in federal prison. He’s met by his driver and bodyguard, Gus Demitriou (Dennis Farina), who fronts as the owner of the $2...

Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. It's a day when lovers treat one another to flowers, chocolates, cute stuffed animals and other unmentionable goodies.

It’s such a lovely day for those who have that special someone in their lives, but what about those who have no one? For instance, 48 year-old Susan Boyle. When she appeared on "Britain’s Got Talent" she admitted that she had never been kissed!

Boyle is an amazing singer and has a quirky yet charming personality. She is truly one of a kind and really deserves the best. In light of it being Valentine weekend, we thought it fit to p...

Actor Dennis Farina has been given a break by a Los Angeles judge - he's had a 2008 gun possession charge dropped and wiped from his record.

The Midnight Run star was arrested in May of 2008 after he was caught carrying a loaded and unregistered .22 calibre pistol through security at Los Angeles' LAX Airport.

He was booked for carrying a concealed weapon but later reached a deal with prosecutors to have the felony reduced to the lesser accusation of entering an airport sanitary area with a weapon, reports TMZ.com.

Farina, 64, pleaded no contest to the charge last July and was sente...

Pour out the laughs and brim over with American spirit as the incredible true story that put Napa on the map of fine wines is uncorked with Bottle Shock, debuting onto DVD February 3rd from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment (TCFHE). Premiering at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, Bottle Shock has won the hearts of critics and audiences alike. Praised as "Rocky for wine aficionados" (The Hollywood Reporter), Bottle Shock follows novice vintner Jim Barrett who, against all odds and expectations, defeated the heavily favored French varietals at the 1976 blind taste challenge called "The ...

In recent years, it's become hip to pick on John Travolta for his movie choices. It's strange, considering not many actors can say that they've starred in three truly iconic films (see numbers 1, 3, and 6 on the "best" list). He's also achieved longevity that many actors can only dream of, due in large part to his genuine, "good guy" persona. So, sure, he's made some bad films. Who hasn't? His good movies still outnumber the bad ones.

Since John is putting on the dog in the new animated hit, "Bolt," we thought it would be a good time to take a look at some notable films from Travolta's...

Veteran comedian Jerry Lewis was tackled by guards at Las Vegas's McCarran Airport on Friday after they found a gun in his carry-on luggage. Staff spotted the weapon in the 82 year old's bag as it passed through an X-ray machine. He was cited for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit and released.

According to TMZ.com, Lewis claimed he didn't know the gun was in the bag, which had been used previously by other members of his family. His manager insists the weapon was a "fun gun" used as a show prop.

The incident comes just a week after actor Dennis Farina was fined $510 and...

Cop-turned-actor Dennis Farina has been sentenced to a minimum of one year's probation and a $510 fine after attempting to carry a gun through an U.S. airport earlier this year.

The Saving Private Ryan star, 64, was charged with three misdemeanors after he was apprehended at Los Angeles International Airport on May 11th after a loaded gun was found in his briefcase as he attempted to board a plane. Farina pleaded no contest to the charge of entering an airport with a weapon in court on Thursday.

The two remaining charges - carrying a loaded firearm and carrying a concealed weapo...

Cop-turned-actor Dennis Farina will not face felony charges for weapons possession following his arrest at Los Angeles International Airport in early May. The Get Shorty star, 64, was apprehended at L.A.X. Airport on May 11 after a loaded gun was found in his briefcase as he attempted to board a plane.

He was charged with carrying a concealed weapon following the discovery of the .22 caliber, semi-automatic pistol. Authorities later discovered the gun was also unregistered.

But the former Chicago, Illinois police officer has scored a lucky break - a spokesperson at the Los Angeles...

Cop-turned-actor Dennis Farina carries a gun everywhere he goes, because he fears a criminal he has sent to jail will seek revenge. Farina was apprehended at Los Angeles International Airport on Sunday morning after a loaded gun was found in his briefcase.

The Law & Order star has issued an apology following his arrest for felony weapons charges, but, according to friends of the 64-year-old actor, he always carries a 'piece' to prepare for unsuspecting assailants out to get him.

A source tells The National Enquirer Farina justifies, "There's a lot of bad guys from the old days th...

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Actor Dennis Farina apologized for his arrest at Los Angeles International Airport after a loaded gun was found in his carry-on luggage.

''I apologize to anyone and everyone that I have caused any embarrassment or inconvenience to,'' the 64-year-old actor said in a statement. ''It is my own stupidity to find myself in this embarrassing situation.''

When the weapon was discovered at a security checkpoint at about 8 a.m. Sunday, police said Farina told them he had forgotten the .22-caliber handgun was in his luggage.

Farina was booked for investigation of car...

Hey, isn’t that...? You know, that guy. The guy that always plays someone in the military. He was in, uh, Syriana, The Kingdom... Oh yeah! He was the father of the emo kid in American Beauty!

Throughout cinematic history, there has been a plethora of actors that, for some reason or another, never become a household name. So here is a cheat sheet of sorts, a brief encyclopedia on "That Guy."

You know them, you loathe them. They are the unnecessary, obnoxious and often just plain annoying mid-series additions to established shows. Sure, there are times when a compelling, fresh-faced character is introduced and breathes new life into a series. Unfortunately, those instances are few and far between. Like with most of the television industry, the bad in this case far outweighs the good.

What follows is a list of the worst cast additions** in the last 30 years. Each and every one of the characters mentioned below was detrimental to the series in which he or she appeared. Som...

Curb Your Enthusiasm star Cheryl Hines has cleared up reports she's dating actor Dennis Farina, revealing the Saving Private Ryan star took a Las Vegas joke too far. The actress was enjoying a night out with her pal after a day off from shooting new movie Waitress when Farina started introducing her to everyone as his fiancée.

Hines recalls, "We were walking under the neon lights and he bought me a yard-long beer, and he was telling everyone I was his fiancée. It was bizarre."

Hines is married with a child and Farina divorced his wife Patricia in 1980.
