Jon Michael Hill, a native of Waukegan, Ill., comes from a theatrical background, but he wasn't a stranger to TV prior to joining "Elementary." More specifically, he wasn't a stranger to playing detectives.

Before the premiere of the Sherlock Holmes update series in 2012, Hill starred on the short-lived "Detroit 1-8-7." He played Det. Damon Washington on the ensemble cop drama, opposite former "Sopranos" star Michael Imperioli and current "Under the Dome" star Natalie Martinez.

Q: Can you tell me the name of the song that plays at the end of "Love Actually"?

It's still a little early to be thinking about Christmas movies, but the music from "Love Actually" is fairly timeless.

Music figures heavily in the film, from the wedding scene featuring a pop-up rendition of The Beatles' "All You Need Is Love" to the hilarious prime ministerial dance scene set to "Jump (For My Love)" by The Pointer Sisters. However, arguably the most memorable song used is for the big, closing scene at the airport, set to "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys.

How can you tell when a TV show is a hit?

Well, there's the usual metrics, I guess. Ratings, water cooler chit-chat, Internet buzz. The first season of Fox's "MasterChef Junior" had all of those things, but consider this little metric: Fox ordered up a third season of the pint-sized culinary competition before it had even begun production of the second.
