Acting definitely runs in this family.
Larry Sullivan, David Monahan and their adorable son, Cooper, are among the many real-life families featured in a new Campbell's Soup campaign dubbed "Made for Real, Real Life."
In the clip, Sullivan and Monahan take turns feeding Cooper spoonfuls of the company's Star Wars-themed soup, each doing their best "I am your father" Darth Vader impersonation.
Campbell's vice president of marketing activation, Yin Woon Rani, told Advertising Age that the concept behind the campaign was to show a diverse mix of American families and add "a wink and a smile" to the brand's messaging.

On tonight's episode of The Mentalist, "A Price Above Rubies", something phenomenal happened: Patrick Jane didn't have all of the answers. This gave Lisbon plenty of smug satisfaction, especially after he terrified her in the show's opening scene.
Cho and Lisbon start off The Mentalist in formal wear, making nice at a charity banquet to one of the Cbi's benefactors, Esther Doverton (Dey Young). Jane takes the stage, supposedly to represent the Cbi with some magic tricks and mind-reading. After tossing an egg into the air–and invisibility–Jane announces he's dropping the act in order to "transform [their] consciousness." He then launches into a speech, about the cruelties and injustices of the world that are going on while they stand around and sip champagne. Lisbon is worried as the room falls silent, but Jane manages to turn the guests' guilt and discomfort into a show of solidarity and charitable contributions.

It’s a gay old affair on tonight’s episode of the CW series Privileged when gay characters Marco (Allan Louis) and Keith (David Monahan) are married in the season finale of the freshman series.
Creator and Executive Producer Rina Mimoun recently told AfterElton.com how the storyline was unfortunately sidetracked last November, and how gay-fave comic Kathy Griffin came to be involved in the big walk down the aisle:
I had no idea that Prop 8 would ever go this way so the whole time we were planning the story we were like, "We’ll do the wedding in La, which will be great because we can make it a location shoot here…" We were so convinced that No on 8 would be No, we were breaking the story as if it were a done deal. And then when it came back I was like "Oh my God,...

Degrassi: The Next Generation has a long history of prominent gay characters and this season is no exception. Earlier this year we met Riley Stavros, a teenager struggling with his sexuality, unable to accept that he is gay. With an episode featuring Riley set to air this week on The N, we decided to chat via e-mail with Argiris Karras, who plays the troubled young man, to get his thoughts on his role.
Argiris Karras
AfterElton.com: Tell us something about yourself. How old are you? Where are you from? What do you do for fun? What kind of music do you listen to?
Argiris Karras: I'm 19 years old and I was born in Toronto, Ontario, one of the greatest cities around!
For fun I often chill with my friends and do a whole bunch of random things such as play soccer and video games, watch movies and listen to music.

During Chroust's tenure as head writer at Fl he shepherded the internationally loved romance between Christian Mann (Thore Schölermann) and Olli Sabel (Jo Weil). We talked to the out writer via email about that storyline, as well as other plots and characters he enjoyed working on. We also asked him what he wished he could have done differently and lots more!
