EXCLUSIVE: Emmy Award winner Željko Ivanek (Damages, Madam Secretary) and Fernanda Andrade (Narcos: Mexico, Sons of Anarchy) have joined the cast of the new Showtime series Let The Right One In in recurring roles.
Ivanek will play Arthur, a scientist who is the father of Claire (Grace Gummer) and the former CEO of a once proud but now disgraced pharmaceutical empire.
Andrade will play Elizabeth, the spirited wife of Mark (Demián Bichir) and devoted mother of Eleanor (Madison Taylor Baez). Elizabeth’s love for her family motivates her to go to any length to protect them.

Locked in at age 12, perhaps forever, Eleanor lives a closed-in life, able to go out only at night, while her father does his best to provide her with the human blood she needs to stay alive.
Let the Right One In is produced by Tomorrow Studios with Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements also serving as executive producers Hinderaker, Alissa Bachner serves as co-executive producer. Bichir will serve as a producer on the series.

Wyclef Jean has discussed the life of Avicii in a new book, and has compared one of the late EDM star’s musical traits to that of Michael Jackson.Tim: The Official Biography Of Avicii was released last week, written by Swedish journalist Måns Mosesson. For his research, Mosesson conducted hundreds of interviews and sifted through Avicii’s (real name Tim Bergling) personal texts and emails going back a decade.One of the interviews he conducted was with Fugees co-founder Wyclef, who collaborated with Avicii twice before his death in 2018: ‘Can’t Catch Me’, which appeared on Avicii’s 2015 album, ‘Stories’; and Wyclef’s 2014 single, ‘Divine Sorrow’.In a new interview with Billboard, Mosesson discussed the creation of the book and shared some of the stuff he discovered about Avicii while working on it.At one point during the interview, he’s asked about a quote from Wyclef, “who said he’d only met one other person whose brain functioned like Tim’s, where he could hear everything in his mind exactly as it was supposed to be – and that that other person was Michael Jackson.”Mosesson put this unique trait down to Avicii being a “very stubborn guy”.“There are a lot of factors in play here that combined makes him into this phenomenon, but that’s one of the main things I think that musically he always trusted his gut,” he explained.“I’ve been working on this book for almost three years, and during that process I’ve been reflecting a lot on how destructive it can be to just look at the end result and not take the time to reflect on ‘How am I feeling during the process?’ If you asked Tim, he would talk in terms of mindfulness and how the ego strives to accomplish, but that’s not necessarily good all the time.
