The countdown begins on Monday, August 13 with a night of heroes as NBC airs an exclusive 30-second clip from Resident Evil: Extinction, starring Milla Jovovich, 'Heroes' Ali Larter, Ashanti and Oded Fehr.

Showtime has ordered a new, eight-hour television event based upon last year's Golden Golden-nominated miniseries, Sleeper Cell. Michael Ealy and Oded Fehr re-team for the frighteningly realistic drama, set to begin production in Los Angeles this summer.

Oded Fehr is delighted he won't be asked to recreate brooding The Mummy hero Ardeth Bay in the second sequel because it took a lot of preparation to get into character. The actor tells movie news website Movie Hole that "The Mummy 3" is in development, but Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz will be the only stars from the original film to recreate their roles.

Happy Birthday to actor Oded Fehr (1970), actor Maxwell Caulfield (1959), actor Steve Harvey (1956), pianist Bruce Hornsby (1954), Barney Miller detective Steve Landesberg (1945), Italian actor Franco Nero (1941), bluesman R.L. Burnside (1923), actor Michael Gough (1916),Marx brother Harpo Marx (1888; d. 1964), classic horror film star Boris Karloff (1887; d. 1969), American outlaw William H. "Billy the Kid" Bonny (1860; d. 1881), and 14th President of the United States Franklin Pierce (1804; d. 1869).
