...efforts produced results--mostly African Americans plugged into ensembles. But there is no Latino Cosby Show or even Steve Harvey Show. Hispanics still have trouble getting parts other than the perp, the victim or that newly resurgent figure, the maid/nanny. (A rare exception was Esai Morales, recently added to NYPD Blue as Lieutenant Tony Rodriguez.) In the Latino actors' community, the scarcity of roles makes casting "like throwing meat to hungry dogs," says Lisa Vidal, who co-stars as a cop on Lifetime's police drama The Division. "Most of us don't want to play only the victim...
...Navarrete of the National Council of La Raza, which makes these distinctions every year when it gives out its ALMA awards in film, TV and music, says the answer is not cut and dried. (The group once even recognized non-Latino Nicholas Turturro for playing a Latino cop on NYPD Blue.) "We want [Hispanic] actors to be able to play Shakespeare and the whole gamut of roles," she says. "But we're also concerned about kids' self-esteem and self-image when they don't see themselves...
...pick a CNN personality to see naked--and remember, Bernie Shaw's retired--you could do worse than ANDREA THOMPSON, the former NYPD Blue actress turned newswoman who was just brought on as a CNN Headline News anchor.

Rupert Murdoch's New York Post...
...rather than movies, because movies that are already written can be finished without writers. If television writers go on strike, you won?t see the effects right away. This season is in the can; studios have long since wrapped the finales of shows like "Friends," "Will and Grace" and "NYPD Blue." But if a strike drags on, next fall you?re going to see a lineup of "Survivor" clones, news shows, and "Millionaire"-type shows. Programming, in other words, that doesn?t require drama or comedy writers...
...Apple has the makings of an absorbing, complex intrigue, although so far its psychologically flat characters are nowhere near as intriguing as EZ Streets' (or even NYPD Blue's). We've seen O'Neill's bulldog lawman too often, as well as the hackneyed Noo-Yawk elements: the title, the waterfront scenes, the fast-talking thugs constantly declaring their ethnicity, swearing, spouting colorful cliches or all three ("Kiss my underpaid Irish ass!"). The dank, moody tone is dead-on, though, and a strong cast includes the welcome David Strathairn as the stressed-out head of the FBI force...
