Kidspickflicks Exclusive! Kids may think that Taylor Lautner's first acting job was as the title "boy" in Shark Boy and Lava Girl, but in fact, the teen wolf we now know as "Jacob" started with a voiceover job for Petco. For kid actors, voiceover work has become the breeding ground for tomorrow's future superstars.
Part of the reason is the savvy of Melissa Berger Brennan, the Hollywood agent who has jump-started the careers of many kid actors by identifying their talent on the microphone. She says that a good Vo actor is usually a good on-camera actor but it doesn't necessarily work the other way around, "It's not like they just have to smile at the mom or bring in a bowl of cereal, they have to be natural with it." Once kids nail the emotional depth off camera, she says that it usually translates on camera.

Fans may love "Glee" guest star Darren Criss after his debut on Tuesday's (Nov. 9) episode, but the producers love him more.
The relatively unknown actor-musician will reportedly get a promotion from recurring character to series regular, according to Deadline. Zap2it has reached out to Fox, but has yet to get confirmation.
Criss plays Blaine, a student at the rival Dalton Academy, who sings lead in their show choir. He befriends Kurt (Chris Colfer) and is a mentor of sorts for being out in high school. A romance between the two is expected (hoped for), but not entirely assured yet.
Criss, a University of Michigan grad, previously had a recurring role on "Eastwick" and a guest spot on "Cold Case." He's also known for starring in and writing "A Very Potter Musical," which sends up the Harry Potter books. (This is also why we chose the picture of him wearing glasses.

Photo by Rebecca Sanabria.Darren Criss, a 23-year-old San Francisco native, joins the cast of Glee tonight as Blaine (no last name, just like Cher), an openly-gay student at a rival school. He comes to the role well prepared: he has a B.F.A. in performance and acting from the University of Michigan and was a writer and performer in YouTube sensations A Very Potter Musical and A Very Potter Sequel, which have garnered over 25 million hits collectively. I took a break from driving across the country in an electric car to talk to Darren this afternoon. Brett Berk: Darren! Great to talk to you. And congrats on earning the role of Blaine. All the kids on the show seem to have crazy stories about their auditions so why don’t you tell me yours? Darren Criss: It’s not that crazy. Lea’s takes the cake. I...

Don't worry, Kurt, it gets better.
On "Glee," the new gay character Blaine, played by Darren Criss, will help Kurt (Chris Colfer) deal with being out when they meet for the first time on the Nov. 9 episode, according to EW.
"I think Blaine's most important role is ... as a mentor to Kurt," says Criss. "At this point, Kurt's [sexuality] has been such a sense of discord in his life. Blaine finds [being gay] empowering. He embraces who he is, and sees Kurt [struggling with] the same things that he had to deal with, and I think he wants to impart that knowledge."
Criss also hopes that Blaine won't just help Kurt, but others who might be struggling. There's been a rash of gay youths who've committed suicide lately, which has prompted celebrities to release video campaigns like this "It Gets Better" one by Adam Lambert.
In the episode, Kurt considers transferring to Dalton Academy where he crosses paths with Blaine,...

"Glee's" Kurt Hummell could be a very busy boy this fall.
Actor Darren Criss, who appeared on the short-lived "Eastwick," is the lastest fresh face to be cast on "Glee," Fox confirms to Zap2it. He'll play a gay student who sings with a rival glee club. The news was first reported by EW.
The character's description naturally means he could be a contender for Kurt's (Chris Colfer) love interest this season. There had been rumblings that Kurt would be romancing new guy Sam (Chord Overstreet), but so far there's no confirmation one way or another.
Then again, Kurt could be playing the field. At this point, we wouldn't put anything past Ryan Murphy, who continues to surprise us ... in a good way of course.
We wonder if Criss would be representing a private school. If so, he'll feel right at home in uniform. He was the star and...

Film review: 'Detention' What is to be done with unruly students, the kind who don't want to learn, who don't respond to traditional discipline and reason? How about putting them naked in a cage outside town and scaring them into becoming scholars?
Not to be confused with another education-themed film directed by Darryl Lemont Wharton with the same title, Texas filmmaker Andy Anderson's "Detention" is a long, dubious drama exploring the notion of tough love taken to bizarre extremes and apparently working. The competently produced but thematically shaky independent premiered at the USA Film Festival in Dallas.
Starting as a clunky knockoff of "Dangerous Minds", the anything-but-uplifting tale of the current state of American high schools turns into "Mr. Horror's Opus" when creepy substitute teacher Bill Walmsley (John Davies) abducts several of the baddest coeds and literally shocks them when they so much as use swear words. But as the students adapt to the conditions, Walmsley's strict rules and schedules transform them into erudite savages.
While Walmsley has a murky past and comes off for much of the film as a villain, his initially brutal treatment of the vain, violent, vapid teens (Meason Wiley, Forrest Denbow, Brandy Little, Jonathan Brent, Susana Gibb, Kirk Kelley, Rebecca Sanabria) is a bit loco. In fact, it's downright sadistic -- including coldblooded murder of one student, sleep deprivation, exposure, malnutrition and psychological conditioning -- and one hopes the victims will escape from the derelict circus.
To complicate things somewhat, another, more kindly teacher (Marsha Dietlein) searches for the missing students and does the usual detective work. Fearing that Walmsley is up to no good, she finds the captives docile and not exactly happy to see her. Soon, she's helping Walmsley with the finishing touches of their curriculum.
The film's jokey end -- the victims cashing in on their ordeal -- is particularly unsatisfying. While "Detention" may be a fantasy reflecting the older generation's frustration with today's unruly youth, it resorts to cheap laughs and unconvincing dramatics. One admires some performances among the young cast, but there's nothing particularly noteworthy about the direction of Anderson ("Positive I.D".), a professor at the University of Texas.
