One of the most interesting aspects of USA’s Friday night hit, White Collar [10/9C] is that, despite the series centering on an FBI agent who teams up with a roguish conman, the show has a complement of strong female roles. Especially striking is FBI Agent Lauren Cruz, played by Natalie Morales, late of The Middleman.
Late last week, I took part in a Q&A conference call with Ms. Morales. Also taking part were: Jim Iacchino [Media Blvd], Jamie Steinberg [Starry Constellation], Joshua Maloni [Niagara Frontier Magazine], Troy Rogers [thedeadbolt.com], Melissa Lowry [NiceGirlsTV.com], Stevie Wilson [LAstory.com], Melody Simpson [Hollywood the Write Way], and Concepcion Allen [Blast Magazine].

After viewing the extras for the DVD release of the recently cancelled ABC Family series, The Middleman, I came to a conclusion that was confirmed by a quick peek at imdb. Middleman creator Javier Grillo-Marxuach [pictured, above, with series star Natalie Morales] is a fanboy! I had the opportunity to interview Javi [as he prefers to be called] about all things Middleman. Alas, we had to stop before I could ask him about such things as the inspiration for the series’ episode titles [one of the extras revelas that it's an homage to the titles of the Robert Ludlum novels he read as a kid], the decision to use chirons [those text scrolls that identify time and place and such] and the plethora of extras on the set. We did get through the process the series went from unsold pilot, to cult hit comic and, finally, to the small screen – as well as toss in a plug or his upcoming new series, Day One.
