For years, Guilherme Hasselmann lived between two paths. At 18, he moved to the UK to study Business Management and build the kind of stability his family wanted for him, while quietly researching the industry, taking acting classes, filming self-tapes, and waking up at 6 a.m. on weekends to train at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. What appeared to be his “Plan A” — earning a degree, finding a corporate job, and building a secure life — was something he would eventually realize had been Plan B all along.

In Season Two of The Hunting Wives, Jackie Dallas returns as Jia-Yi, now moving even closer to the center of the political game driving the series. After spending the first season positioning herself for power, the strategist takes on a crucial role in Jed Banks’ campaign for governor — and begins to discover what happens when ambition, public image, and personal interests no longer unfold exactly according to plan. For Dallas, one of the most compelling questions of this new chapter is: “At what point does their desire to win at all costs overcome their intention to do the right thing?”

“Summertime” has endured across generations as one of the most recognizable songs from Porgy and Bess, yet Anne Wiggins Brown, the first soprano to play Bess, remains far less familiar to the wider public. In Gershwin’s Bess, journalist and author Lisa K. Winkler revisits the life of the artist who worked directly with George Gershwin during the creation of the opera and whose contribution ultimately occupied a much smaller place in popular memory than its significance might suggest. In the interview, Winkler discusses reconstructing Brown’s life through archival documents, concert programs, and historical research, balancing fact with fiction, and making sure the racism Brown faced did not become the only lens through which her story was told.

Taking on Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games: On Stage, Elizabeth Anderson tried, for a moment, to set aside the weight of playing one of pop culture’s most recognizable characters and look at her for what she sees as her core: a sixteen-year-old girl who was forced to grow up far too quickly. Amid the violence of the Games, the expectations of the Capitol, and the symbolic role she never set out to claim, Anderson found an intensely sensitive Katniss whose strength comes largely from the need to protect the people she loves.

In I Play Rocky, J Nycole portrays journalist Diana Lewis, who appeared as herself in the original 1976 Rocky. What began as another acting role became something far more personal for the actor, producer, and storyteller: as Nycole learned more about Lewis, she realized she was portraying a woman whose significance risked being diminished or overlooked once again. That realization led her to push for Lewis to be identified by name in the film’s official credits. “I could not let this woman be forgotten or overlooked.” In the interview, Nycole reflects on the responsibility of portraying a real person, the importance of preserving Black women’s identities within history, and how that instinct has been part of her life since age 12, when she interviewed her uncle about his experience during the Great Depression.

Taking on Gale Hawthorne in The Hunger Games: On Stage, Nathan Stokes did not want to view the character solely through his relationship with Katniss or through the choices that have long divided fans of Suzanne Collins’ story. For the first-ever stage adaptation, the British actor went back to Gale’s beginnings — the hardship of District 12, the losses he endured as a child, and the responsibility of protecting his family — to understand how survival, anger, and a desire for change shaped the man audiences will meet on stage.

Taking on Peeta Mellark in The Hunger Games: On Stage, Vinnie Copeland found the character’s greatest strength in what he refuses to give up. Surrounded by the violence of the Games and the pressure of the Capitol, Peeta continues to choose kindness and empathy without being untouched by anger, fear, or frustration. For Copeland, that tension between what Peeta shows and what he carries underneath has become one of the most exciting parts of bringing him to the stage. In the interview, Copeland discusses honoring the relationship fans have built with Peeta over the years without recreating previous interpretations, developing Katniss and Peeta’s connection with Elizabeth Anderson, and exploring the conflict between genuine emotion and public performance.

In Run Hide Fight: Infidels, the new action thriller directed by Kyle Rankin, Charlotte Delaney Riggs plays Farrah, an intense and determined young woman who takes on a leadership role among the students at the center of the story. To build the character, Riggs went beyond her own scenes: she observed real-life protests, studied the behavior of people in leadership positions, and discovered during filming that reading the rest of the script also changed her understanding of how Farrah was perceived by those around her. In the interview, Riggs discusses joining the project while initially knowing only a small part of the story, finding humanity in a character placed within polarizing circumstances, and working with Rankin to push Farrah toward a more heightened performance than she first envisioned.

In Netflix’s new release Unabomber, David Webster plays Roy, a fictional character created as one of Ted Kaczynski’s classmates at Harvard. To build someone within a story inspired by real events, Webster found his way into the character through contrast: while Ted struggles within the social world around him, Roy connects with others easily and approaches him as a friend. “I decided he was Ted’s opposite in many ways,” the actor explains. In an interview with Luca Moreira, Webster discusses finding the purpose of a fictional character within a historical narrative, working with Jacob Tremblay, and viewing Ted through the eyes of someone who could not yet know who he would become.

The project aims to expand the former player's presence as a voice for the history and future generations of women's football; her appearance at Milan Fashion Week marks a new phase in her positioning. Rede Ronaldo has formally taken over the management of Milene Domingues’ career as a talent and brand ambassador. This initiative is part of a company project focused on the 2027 Women's World Cup, which will be hosted in Brazil. A former player and a key figure in Brazilian women's football, Milene already had an existing relationship with Rede Ronaldo.

For 25 years, Huey Choi built a career in law around ideas of security, stability, and professional achievement — values shaped both by the instability she experienced growing up and by her Korean upbringing. Over time, however, the attorney and author of Who Stole My Pork Belly? began to recognize the difference between a life that looked right to others and one that truly felt right to her. In an interview with Luca Moreira, Choi reflects on finding the courage to question a definition of success she had already achieved, carrying the lessons of her past forward without allowing them to dictate her future, and using humor to revisit family memories with honesty and compassion.

After years of building her career across theatre, television, and self-created projects, Melissa Alce is entering a new chapter with Babies, which marked her TIFF debut, and a recent appearance on Matlock alongside Kathy Bates. But for the actress and producer, those moments do not represent a finish line. They are simply some of the flowers that have bloomed after years of tending what she calls the “garden” of her career. In the interview with Luca Moreira, Melissa reflects on learning to see rejection as seeds being planted, creating opportunities for herself and other artists through Shotz, working in female-led creative spaces, and redefining success beyond titles, salaries, or the size of a role.

Nate Bynum joined Outer Banks expecting to play Demp for a single episode. What began as a guest appearance grew into six episodes by the end of Season Four — and even a filmed death scene did not mark the end of his character’s journey. Producers ultimately decided to bring the mysterious groundskeeper back for Season Five, deepening his relationship with the Pogues and turning what was meant to be a brief job into another unexpected chapter in a career that has rarely followed a straight line. In an interview with Luca Moreira, Bynum discusses disappearing into a character almost completely unlike himself, working on a production of…

Three decades separate the creation of “Palavras” from its phonographic recording, but the anxieties that led Emanuel Neri to write the song remain at the heart of the reflection proposed by the artist. Originally conceived under the provisional title BPP (Brasil País do Passado - Brazil Country of the Past), the track confronts the idea of ​​Brazil as a “country of the future” by questioning inequalities, the vulnerability of children, and the consequences of social problems accumulated over time. In an interview, the singer-songwriter talks about revisiting a work written so many years ago, the reasons that made him see its message as relevant today, and the choice to transform indignation into a rock song that starts from melancholy and grows towards urgency.

The band Síndrome K transforms experiences of deceit, broken trust, and strained relationships into fuel for a new phase in their sound with "Jogo Sujo" (Dirty Game). In the single, the band from Bahia preserves the intensity of Heavy Metal while exploring new paths, incorporating a seven-string guitar for the first time and opening space for a passage close to rap, which features Caio MacBeserra, vocalist of Project 46. In an interview, the members talk about the everyday experiences that inspired the lyrics, the collective songwriting process, and the quest to expand the boundaries of their sound without abandoning the heaviness that accompanies the group's identity.

Understand what to look for in a brokerage before depositing money, such as withdrawal security, transparency, support, account verification, and platform. Choosing a brokerage firm to conduct transactions in the financial market requires much more than analyzing charts, available assets, or the platform's appearance. One of the aspects that most attracts users' attention is precisely the moment of withdrawing money. After all, a positive experience depends not only on the ease of depositing and operating, but also on the existence of clear and secure procedures for requesting withdrawals .

After spending more than a decade away from acting to build and raise her family, Laurel Feierbach returned to the screen with something she could never have gained solely in a classroom: life experience. For the actress, growing older, becoming a mother, and building an identity outside the industry expanded the emotional well she now draws from as a performer — while also reshaping her definition of success. In the interview, Feierbach discusses playing Elinor in The Militia, a loving mother whose devotion to her family exists alongside a dangerous worldview.

After traveling across the United States on a OneWheel, Joey Luthman decided his next challenge would be even bolder: attempting the world record for the most pogo stick jumps with no hands. But for the actor and filmmaker, the spectacle is never the end goal. Each challenge is part of his “Joey’s Journey to One Million” campaign, designed to raise awareness and funds for EveryCat Health Foundation and feline health research. In the interview, Luthman discusses turning his 2025 journey into the documentary CAT MAN: Journey to Save Cat Kind, using his experience as an actor to advocate for something deeply personal, and pursuing a $1 million fundraising goal without treating it as something that must happen overnight.

When Elliot Latner discovered acting as a teenager in Essex, building a career in the United States hardly seemed like an obvious future. Decades later, after moving through New York, Los Angeles, horror, drama, comedy, thousands of auditions, and countless rejections, the British actor arrives at TIFF with Evil Genius, directed by Courteney Cox and also starring Patricia Arquette and David Harbour. Yet what might surprise his teenage self most is not the festival or the names surrounding him, but the fact that after all the ups and downs, he remains just as excited about acting as when he first discovered it.

After years of building characters on series including Gilmore Girls, The O.C., Gossip Girl, and Gotham, John Stephens brought a question that has long shaped his storytelling into fiction: not only what a character wants, but what they need without yet realizing it. In The Age of Fury, that approach guides Caitlin Quinn, a young immigrant searching for the truth about her sister, and William Furey, a gangster whose violence exists alongside the possibility of transformation and love. Set in New York City in 1907, the novel also led Stephens to find echoes between the past and the present.

For E. Lockhart, a story does not need to leave readers with one definitive answer. The New York Times bestselling author behind the phenomenon We Were Liars returns with The Pools, a novel where love, loss, identity, and emotional struggle exist alongside hot springs, secrets, and a situation the writer herself describes as impossible to solve. Rather than delivering a single message, Lockhart prefers to explore the tensions and questions that fascinate her — while surprising readers along the way. In the interview, Lockhart discusses the intuitive, poetic approach behind the new book, her fascination with the open-ended metaphors of fairy tales, and her decision to make a young man recovering from depression and self-harm the story’s romantic hero.

From a teenage life marked by cyberattacks to a career in digital security, Daniel Nascimento has seen his journey go through several different chapters — eventually reaching the big screen. In this interview, the Brazilian hacker talks about money, the boundaries he set during the period when he carried out attacks, the evolution of cybercrime, the vulnerabilities that continue to put people and companies at risk, and the experience of seeing his own story portrayed in the film "O Rei da Internet" ("The King of the Internet"). In many of your interviews, you say that you do not regret what you did and even say that you would do it all over again.
