SciFi Vision | Exclusives

Note from the editor: I have included interviews under exclusive if they are private or one-on-one or in person interviews. These were not part of press conference calls or group discussions. These are exclusives that are currently published here at SciFi Vision or as part of one of SciFi Vision's own podcasts, or in some early cases at Media Blvd. Magazine.

I also have chosen to include some interviews from press events that are only open to a select few and not the general press or public, such as convention press rooms and everything from the Syfy Digital Press Tours, set tours, etc. as although they are not entirely exclusive, they do contain exclusive photos and sometimes videos that no other site has (I have started to mark some of these as "Spotlight" as opposed to "Exclusive, but they still remain in this category"), or may be about my own experiences only at the events. Note that in a few specific cases, the set tours were exclusive and specifically for SciFi Vision.

All of the articles unless otherwise noted were written by me, Jamie Ruby, and are copyright © 2017 Sci-Fi Vision. If you would like to post an article on your own site, please let us know first. Please do not use any of the exclusive photos or videos on your own site without permission (it will usually be given).

Exclusive: Kevin Hanchard Talks Orphan Black

Published: Friday, 03 June 2016 | Written by SciFi Vision

Tonight, BBC America aired an all-new episode of its hit series, Orphan Black. The series, created by screenwriter Graeme Manson and director John Fawcett, follows Sarah Manning (Tatiana Maslany) who assumes the identity of Detective Beth Childs, who bares an eerie resemblance to Manning, after she commits suicide. Sarah soon discovers that she and Beth, along with other "sisters" she meets along the way are clones (all played by Maslany).

This season we learned much more about Beth, and therefore her partner as well, Detective Arthur "Art" Bell, played by Kevin Hanchard. It was recently revealed that they had a romantic relationship at one point.

Last week, after finding out that Detective Martin Duko (Gord Rand), who had previously been threatening him for helping the clones, killed the clones' original, Kendall Malone (Alison Steadman), Bell attacked him at the precinct.

This week the detective becomes even more involved in Duko's fate.

Exclusive: Emily Hampshire Interview - Part two

Published: Tuesday, 17 May 2016 | Written by SciFi Vision

Tonight on Syfy's newest episode of 12 Monkeys, quite a lot happened with the character of Jennifer Goines, played by Emily Hampshire. Last month when I talked one on one with the actress, we discussed two of tonight's important scenes.

First, when talking about the scene that was most most difficult for her to play this season, she talked about filming at the summer house.

"It was definitely when we went to the summer house. I'm not usually 'actorly' like this, but I feel like Jennifer's a different part for me, and I feel like I connect with her so deeply, that it does affect me.

"And I remember just going into the summer house, and at least for me, as an actor, my preparation is usually just making everything I talk about real, and experiencing it, not for real, but in an imaginative way. Like when you have dreams, you really feel like you've gone through [something], but it's all imagination.

Exclusive: Joe Naufahu, Game of Thrones' New Khal

Published: Friday, 06 May 2016 | Written by Karen Moul

Game of Thrones is back with a new character for season six: Khal Moro, leader of the khalasar that has captured Daenerys. The laid-back Dothraki is played by New Zealand native Joe Naufahu, who couldn’t be more thrilled to be on the show. Naufahu recently made time to speak with Scifi Vision about his role and what lies in store for Khal Moro.

A former professional rugby player, Naufahu retired from the sport a decade ago after a serious knee injury. Feeling down, he took a suggestion from his brother. "My brother is a writer and a director," he explained, "and when I got injured he knew I was going through a pretty bad period. He reached out and he said, 'Why don’t you give acting a crack? You’ve been through a lot of stuff and you’ve got a lot of material from your life, experiences that you can use.' "
