Friday’s "Flashpoint" & "Numb3rs" Take Ratings Lead

Sun, 26 Apr 2009 17:07:16 +0000

On Friday April 24, CBS’ Flashpoint and Numb3rs took the lead!

Friday night’s episodes of Flashpoint and Numb3rs helped bring CBS to the ratings winner’s circle. Flashpoint’s new episode attracted 8.2 million viewers which left ABC’s Supernanny in the dust.

Flashpoint’s episode, called Remote Control, featured a bank worker whose wife is kidnapped, and he learns his own brother may be responsible. In this short clip above, you see the bank worker as he is apparently speaking to his wife one last time. Talk about tense..she’s also pregnant with their child.

The new episode of Numb3rs, which put agent Don Eppes (Rob Morrow) in the hospital, and the show in the top slot for the 10:00 PM hour, attracted 8.8 million viewers.

In this episode called The Fifth Man, the team is under a lot of of pressure to catch the bad guys. One highlight is that Granger (Dylan Bruno) and Sinclair (Alimi Ballard) get into an intense discussion after Sinclair stops Granger from going a little too far with a suspect in the interrogation room. Check out the official promo for the episode in the short clip above.

Will Numb3rs Get Both Heavy Hitting Directors?

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 15:56:55 +0000

Dylan Bruno has been talking about the FBI drama Numb3rs. This season of Numb3rs is destined to be phenomenal! According to actor Dylan Bruno, executive director Tony Scott has been doing some work with Val Kilmer for the show amid the last six season episodes of Numb3rs being filmed.

We’ll also see more of the character’s backgrounds. Dylan revealed that he’s “interested” to see what happens with his character, Colby Granger. In his opinion, the background characterization is much more fun than “running around with the gun”.

Also of note, it’s no secret that they’d (CBS) love to have Tony Scott’s executive producer brother Ridley Scott (American Gangster, Matchstick Men) direct an episode or two. I love it when the actors reveal this spoilery info for us. Let’s hope Ridley succumbs to the pressure!

Numb3rs’ Dylan Bruno Stars with Brother Chris

Mon, 24 Dec 2007 15:21:46 +0000

While watching the Chinese Box episode of Numb3rs, I saw a face that was naggingly familiar to me. The SWAT captain that argued with Agent Granger (portrayed by Dylan Bruno) is actually known as Sheriff Bannerman on the (now defunct) series Dead Zone. What’s even more cool is that he is Chis Bruno, the real-life brother of Dylan.

Dylan Bruno talked to TV Guide about this rare constellation of two brothers both portraying law enforcement officers on the same show. Here are some of the best bits of the interview:

Dylan reveals that he and producers both got the idea to hire Chris while joking around.
Dylan and his brother both have a knack for portraying great law enforcement characters.
Despite the on-screen argument, these brothers hardly ever argue off screen.

Dylan also talks about how he and Chris became actors, and even revealed that Chris dated Diane Farr while they were both in college. I thought it was admirable that Dylan was able to make sure his brother got to play a good role too! You can read the full interview here.
