Q: The actress who plays Jessica Brody on "Homeland" looks really familiar to me. What else has she done?
The answer to the question of why you recognize actress Morena Baccarin depends, most likely, on what kind of nerd you are.
If you're the I-enjoy-a-bit-of-science-fiction-with-my-dinner kind of nerd, then you probably recognize her from her lead role in ABC's recent "V" remake. She played an alien ambassador of sorts whose secretly evil intentions unraveled over the course of the show's two seasons, from 2009 to 2011.

Q: I was watching "The Following" the other day and saw Kevin Williamson's name pop up. Is that the same man who made "Dawson's Creek"? The shows are polar opposites.
It was, indeed, the same Kevin Williamson who wrote those two very different series, but perhaps it would make more sense if you knew about the connector piece: the "Scream" movies.
Williamson only got to write the popular teen drama "Dawson's Creek" and, years later, the serial-killer drama "The Following," after making a name for himself with the hugely popular teen/serial-killer film "Scream" (1996).
