Fresh off her historic Daytime Emmy win, actress Jodi Long is running for president of SAG-AFTRA’s Los Angeles Local to succeed Patricia Richardson, who is not seeking re-election.

Two years ago, Long ran for national secretary-treasurer as presidential candidate Matthew Modine’s running mate, but they lost to Gabrielle Carteris and her running mate, Camryn Manheim, who are not seeking re-election. This time, Modine and running mate Joely Fisher are squaring off against Fran Drescher and Anthony Rapp to succeed Carteris and Manheim.

Veteran actress and union activist Jodi Long is running for secretary-treasurer of SAG-AFTRA as a member of Matthew Modine’s progressive Membership First slate.
She is facing Camryn Manheim, who announced her candidacy on July 9 as part of the Unite for Strength slate for the re-election of union president Gabrielle Carteris. Unite for Strength and United Screen Actors Nationwide have been the ruling factions at the union for the past decade with an emphasis on pragmatic policies.

You can add James Callis to the list of sci-fi studs to get a role on Arrow. TV Guide reports that he'll play an international jewel thief known as The Dodger.
Yep, there's a Tumblr blog that's rewatching Gossip Girl to see if it still makes sense with the revelation of Gossip Girl's identity. So far, the pilot makes little sense in light of the revelation (and makes one major storyline pretty creepy). That's okay, I just rewatched the Scandal pilot and it feels like a lot of the characters weren't developed until later.
NBC has ordered a game show that tries to capture the atmosphere of a "game night" cocktail party. Deadline says that Hollywood Game Night will take inspiration by the game nights producer Sean Hayes hosts at his home. The show will...
