"Numb3rs" Update: Travis Guest Stars and Sumika Likes Guns

Thu, 05 Mar 2009 00:12:39 +0000

Check out the latest updates for Numb3rs this week (March 6). In this new episode, called First Law, a supercomputer is the prime suspect in the death of a cutting-edge scientist. Also, Charlie gets a job offer, and seriously considers it. Nancy Travis (Becker, The Bill Engvall Show) guest stars as the Department of Defense Project Manager Jane Karellen.

In other Numb3rs news, Aya Sumika’s character, Agent Liz Warner was featured in last week’s episode, called Cover Me. Sumika talks about her character’s adventures in a recent Zap2it interview. In that episode, she goes undercover as a high-end drug dealer to help Charlie stop the release of a dangerous new drug from hitting the streets.

Sumika talks about her adventures on the shooting range as she trained for the recent role, and reveals what could be a bit of spoilery info: Liz and Don are no longer an item. If you’ve been watching you know already that Don has a new girlfriend.

What’s my favorite quote from this interview? “Liz is a woman in a man’s field,” says Sumika. “If a guy is kicking down a door, she wants to kick one down too — and faster too.”

"Numb3rs": The Latest TV Guide Spoilers

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 18:17:01 +0000

The latest new tidbits over at TV Guide include spoilers on Numb3rs.

It seems that FBI agents Liz Warner (Aya Sumika) and Nikki Betancourt (Sophina Brown) were paired together in a recent episode of Numb3rs called Scan Man, and they worked well together. The episode aired on October 31.

According to the show’s executive producer, they will be a team again, but at some point, Agent Warner has a new opportunity that will come her way.

Also it seems that Agent McGowan (Keith Carradine), the icy senior agent who proved to be an obstacle in Charlie Eppes (David Krumholtz) getting his FBI security clearance back will return to the show in another episode. We were left to wonder if he was going to resign after his sobering conversation with Don Eppes (Rob Morrow) in a recent episode.

Finally, it’s also been revealed that Charlie and Amita’s (Navi Rawat) relationship will be moving forward a bit, and perhaps that’s a good thing now that Charlie is no longer stressed about getting his clearance back.

Don’t forget to check out the next episode, which airs tomorrow night, Friday, November 14 at 10:00 PM on CBS.

FBI Drama News: Numb3rs, Eric Close & Fall TV Popularity?

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 20:02:16 +0000

Numb3rs Stars Making News

In some of the most exciting FBI Dramas news, Numb3rs star David Krumholtz is engaged to actor Vanessa Britting. According to his rep, they were engaged last month in Paris during a short vacation, and are set to wed in February 2009. It’s been noted that these two have been dating for 3 1/2 years.

Speaking of Numb3rs, it’s official, Aya Sumika is back…as a regular on Numb3rs. Sumika has portrayed the recurring character, Special Agent Liz Warner, and love interest to Don Eppes (Rob Morrow). It should be interesting to have her along with the firebrand that is Sophina Brown’s new character.

Eric Close Talks Technology

Without A Trace star Eric Close recently co-led an educational training session at a national computing conference on how technology can excite children about education. He and author/educator Peter Reynolds led this interactive investigation to feature Thinkfinity.org, which is an online portal for teachers, students and parents, full of educational resources. Nice to know that Close is so much a part of education, and it’s no wonder since he has two little girls to help educate himself.

The Fall TV Popularity Contest

Been wondering what fall shows will be the highest-rated this time around? New series, Fox’s Fringe and CBS’s Eleventh Hour are the ticket, according to Horizon Media, a company that publishes estimates of how well broadcast shows will perform. Although I haven’t seen this annual report, I wonder what they base their findings on – series concept, or marketing dollars? Check out Horizon Media’s other predictions over at Hollywood Reporter.
