Notably, David’s Krumholtz’s family and friends can not only celebrate his birthday tomorrow, but they can do it in style by watching the season finale episode of Numb3rs which airs Friday May 15, at 9:00 PM on CBS.

I’m particularly fond of his role as Charlie Eppes, but Krumholtz is also know for roles in Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay, Demption, and Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.

Eric Close portrays Agent Martin Fitzgerald on Without A Trace. Close directed the latest episode of WAT, called True, which aired this week on Tuesday May 12.

Although I’m a fan of Close as an FBI agent, I admit that his roles in two sci-fi series were also my favorites (Taken and Dark Skies).

As Agent Fitzgerald on Without A Trace, he’s been through a lot. From a questionable shooting incident in Season 2, to an office romance, an estranged relationship with his dad, and a painkiller addiction in Season 4, Fitzgerald seems to have done it all.

Happy Birthday, guys!

Check out where some of our favorite FBI drama stars are when they’re not on set!  Criminal Minds star Matthew Gray Gubler gets under the microscope – for sleep’s sake. Shemar Moore and Thomas Gibson share their favorite vacation spots, Navi Rawat has a guide for tripping through Miami, and Eric Close and wife head to South America for what else? Wine of course!

Matthew Gray Gubler took part in what has been called the Sleeping Beauty boot camp, but is actually a promotion sponsored jointly by the Ritz Carlton Berlin and the sleep lab at Berlin’s Charite University.

Judging from the pictures, and the “rigorous” ordeal they put Gubler through, it all leaves me wanting special comfy socks, eyeshades, wine tasting, and even the 30 minute workout that President Barack Obama recently had at that same hotel’s spa. See all the pictures here.

Shemar Moore isn’t shy about confessing his love for Montreal and Toronto. He says to talk to him in a few years about Honolulu, Bora Bora, and the South of France. Sounds like he’s ready for some new adventures.

Thomas Gibson says that Italy is the place to be, and reveals he was so impressed by a little town called Ravello, in Florence, that he’s invested in a real pizza oven, and soon “pizza making” classes for his house in L.A.

Finally, Numb3rs star Navi Rawat gives the what-what on where to do (stuff), dine, and shop in the hot city of Miami. If you’re heading to Miami, check out Navi’s guide here.

When asked his most memorable moment while being in Chile, Without a Trace’s Eric Close says it’s when they rode horses up to a high mountain meadow resting at the peak of the Andes mountains. You can read rest of his interview here.

Without A Traces character Martin Fitzgerald is getting an on-screen love interest. That lucky lady is actor Vanessa Marcil (General Hospital, Las Vegas). According to TV Guide, her character develops a deep love for Martin, but they must overcome a secret she’s been hiding. I wonder what it could be. Here’s a short video clip of Trace’s Agent Malone talking a guy back across the border:

Criminal Minds‘ writer Mark Bruner is featured in a Vienna Connection article about his work and first produced script, the latest episode called Bloodline. The episode is about a family of serial killers that live in a small Alabama town. Bruner describes himself as “…just your average nerdy kid”. The story of how he became a writer for the show is quite inspiring for those who have ever wanted to write for television, or just be a part of a cool FBI drama.

The Beast megastar Patrick Swayze has decided to write his memoirs for posterity. He’s been fighting pancreatic cancer, and starring in his new FBI drama series on A&E. His wife Lisa is also going to collaborate on his book. Although it hasn’t yet been picked up by a publisher, the book is sure to be a success.

CSI: Miami’s star Rory Cochran will be taking a bite out of 24 later in the season. He’ll portray a henchman of Jon Voight’s evil character on the show.

There’s confirmation that The Mentalist’s characters Jane (Simon Baker) and Lisbon (Robin Tunney) will not develop a love relationship anytime soon, and for now, their most wanted and evil suspect Red John will continue to be on the lam, according to the show creator, Bruno Heller.

Without A Trace’s

Because the story setting of Trace’s Missing Persons Bureau is in New York, the production company has to pick up and move a couple of times a year to the Big Apple.

This is when the magic begins. So what are the favorite filming spots for these two actors, and what makes it so special ?

Eric Close names the city bridges, and notes that the timing is also a part of the appeal. He reveals he loves the bridges at night. Times Square and Central Park are also favorites, as he says, …”But when you come to New York, you want to see the buildings and architecture.”

Close notes just how cool New Yorkers are when it comes to filming. He says, “In Los Angeles, people expect to see actors, so they’re more mellow about it. Here, people have a good passion about things and tell you how they feel, which I like.” Montgomery notes that there is an energy she gets from New Yorkers, and says it unlike anything she’s felt in Los Angeles. Sounds like the Big Chill has definitely made an impression on these two.

Here’s my favorite 2008 video interview of Enrique on the Megan Mullally show, and one reason you would definitely think about becoming a talk show host (you’ll see).

In this segment, he describes himself as the “Cuban Martha Stewart”, as his sense of humor shines here. He also has two adorable dogs. He reveals his favorite TV show as a kid, his high school antics, talks about his father, and his knack for wanting to save people when he was younger. He tells a story that ends with him and Megan on the couch, and a kiss.

Murciano hails from Florida, is of Cuban descent, and has a love of cars according to his IMDB profile. He and Nestor Carbonell did a video interview with Spike TV about their roles in the film they did together, called The Lost City (2005). The film tells the story of three brothers during the Cuban 1958-59 Revolution. Murciano is very passionate about the film, and about the plight of human rights violations in Cuba.

Here’s a fun 2006 video of Enrique with Without A Trace co-star Eric Close as they are being interviewed/featured by Kathie Lee on The Insider. I love this video because it shows the guy’s lighter sides. As we anticipate the next season of Without A Trace, I would love to see some of this same energy in the form of more storylines featuring Murciano’s character.

He actually led the kids though a detective exercise, and later talked to Verizon employees about the reading program and his career. It sounds like an amazing campaign (annually they collect books for schools, libraries and non-profits throughout the country), and it’s great to know that Eric is one of those actors who is willing to give back to his community (he hails from Staten Island) and the kids.
