Korean-American filmmaker Chon writes and directs himself as Antonio LeBlanc, a tattoo artist and father living in the Louisiana bayou with his wife, Kathy (Alicia Vikander), and her small daughter, Jessie (Sydney Kowalske). Kathy has another baby on the way. Despite being an adoptee from Korea, Antonio is as American a citizen as anyone, as he’s now lived in the U.S. for 30 years. But after a misunderstanding with police turns brutal, he ends up in jail, and ultimately in the bureaucratic hands of ICE....

The actress played Amanda Rollins — an overhasty rookie turned senior detective and fan favorite — for more than eleven years on the legendary crime show: part of Dick Wolf’s sprawling (if intensely controversial) Law and Order universe at NBC. The character’s sudden departure was reportedly ordered from the top down, per Variety. The decision was attributed to salary negotiations, but also broader directives about the future of the TV franchise....

But as the crowd-pleasing new drama “King Richard” suggests, Venus and Serena’s parents were determined to give them (and their sisters) a better life and all the opportunities that comes with it. That drive and ambition, along with the family’s shared worth ethic, helped launch the pair into superstardom at a young age, ensuring that they will forever go down as two of the greatest athletes ever to live. From the moment Venus launched her career in the early ’90s, her father, Richard Williams (portrayed in the film by Will Smith), was vilified and demonized as a crazed fanatic who was in over his head....

“I look back, and just, like, the sheer gall of me, stepping onto set that first day; 24-year-old me standing in Silver Cup Studios, the old ‘Sex and the City’ studios, going, ‘Let’s do this,’” Dunham explained, citing that the “SATC” revival series “And Just Like That” may lead the way for returning to “Girls.” “It was such a pleasure to see those women back together and to see them take on middle-age sexuality,” Dunham noted....

Headey’s former agency, Troika, has filed a lawsuit alleging that the actress owes $1.5 million in unpaid commissions (via Variety), including $500,000 from her “Thor: Love and Thunder” salary. The agency is also seeking a $300,000 commission from the film “9 Bullets” and $650,000 for the scrapped Showtime series “Rita.” Headey had signed on to play the titular character on the show, but Showtime decided not to move forward with it after seeing the pilot....

“Film acting is such a public way to learn, to experience trial and error,” he said. “It’s also new to me. I’ve only racked up a handful of film credits. Some of them have worked, some of them haven’t. I watched through my fingers.” He didn’t have to do that with “One Night in Miami,” which matches the actor-musician with ’60s pop star Sam Cooke. Odom could wind up with two Oscar nominations, for Best Supporting Actor — he pops out of the ensemble of emerging actors including Eli Goree as Cassius Clay, Kingsley Ben-Adir as Malcolm X, and Aldis Hodge as Jim Brown — and Best Song, for title credit song “Speak Now....
