Q: I loved Juliette Lewis in “Secrets and Lies.” Can you tell me what else I can see her in? – Danielle F., via
A: Next up for the prolific actress is EPIX cable network’s “Graves.” Juliette has been cast in a recurring role in season two. In the series, Nick Nolte plays President Richard Graves, a former two-term POTUS who embarks on a Don Quixote-like quest to right the wrongs of his administration and reclaim his legacy decades later.
In this coming season, President Graves turns inward in search of the man he used to be before he was president. His journey is compounded by the arrival of his first grandchild, as well as a new revelation about his son, Jeremy. Graves’ journey coincides with wife Margaret’s (played by the stellar Sela Ward) Senate campaign, as the former first lady attempts to build her own political legacy. Isaiah Miller, the president’s assistant, searches for new direction after taking a bullet for the president in the season one finale.
Meanwhile, Graves’ spiritual muse, Samantha (Callie Hernandez), finds a new calling as a singer/songwriter. And Juliette comes aboard as Bailey Todd, a hard-living, leather-clad, tell-it-like-it-is music manager and producer out of New York who shows up at Samantha’s trailer with the idea that Samantha might have what it takes to be the next big thing. *** Q: Can you give me any info on the next season of “American Horror Story”?

A: Everyone’s favorite serial-killer clown, Twisty (played by John Carroll Lynch), will be back for season seven. We last saw him in “Freak Show,” where he scared the beejesus out of us, as serial-killer clowns often do. Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Billie Lourd, Billy Eichner, Cheyenne Jackson, Alison Pill, Colton Haynes and Adina Howard also are featured in the new season.
