From Sandeep Parikh to Felicia Day, The Guild has launched careers for a number of its actors, but it has also created work for the people behind the camera. Sean Becker, the series' Streamy Award-winning director since season two, is one such case. Becker is a rare but increasingly common case of a person who, for basically his entire career, has worked in new media. The Guild, whose fifth season officially premieres on the web on July 26, is probably his most high profile credit, but Becker has lots of plans and projects. "It’s been crazy lately," Becker said in an interview. "I'm keeping busy and couldn't be happier. And I'd rather have that then not be busy at all." Becker has been working on passion projects with a number of Guild actors, including Jeff Lewis (The Jeff Lewis 5-Minute Comedy Hour, currently raising funds for season two), J. Teddy Garces...

This might be the closest thing to a spin-off of the long running and inarguably popular comedy web series The Guild. Aside from stars Felicia Day and Sandeep Parikh, we haven't seen too much of the rest of the cast popping up in other web series, so this one caught our eye. The Guild director Sean Becker has teamed up with comedian Jeff Lewis (aka Vork on The Guild) for a new web series, The Jeff Lewis 5-Minute Comedy Hour. Lewis stars along with a number of guest stars in distinct comedy sketch for each episode, with only Lewis being the common thread. Guest stars in the 10-episode first season: Felicia Day (The Guild) Vince Caso (The Guild) Tara Caso (The Guild) Brett Sheridan (The Guild) Jamie Kaler (My Boys) Kyle Bornheimer (Worst Week) Tom Konkle (Safety Geeks Svi) Kim Evey (Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show) Related News:Felicia Day...

Props to Elon Musk for stepping up as guinea pig number one on the new season of The Valley Girl Show which premiered today. Ok, maybe it's not so ballsy considering last season's guests, but for the founder of both electric car darling Tesla and rocket maker SpaceX, you have to think he's turned down interviews from considerably more credible outlets. Officially, the pitch line they are sporting is, "imagine if Reese Witherspoon’s character in Legally Blonde had taken Silicon Valley instead of Harvard Law-and been brunette-and you have the Valley Girl." This smart girl playing dumb (or is it a smart girl playing a dumb-sounding smart girl?) has been tried before. There's a earnest charm reminiscent of Kim Evey's Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show, though Draper's Valley Girl character doesn't commit as fully to the archetype. Nor does it play up the awkwardly comedic tension of Citizen Kate,...

In a town that loves to label and categorize, Felicia Day has never quite fit in. She has often felt trapped between two extremes: the "very charactery girl" and the leading lady. Neither is a perfect match. "I don't have the perfect looks Hollywood loves for the lead part, and then I wasn't quite charactery enough for the other parts," says the Los Angeles–based actor. "The parts I would get, I would tend to have to dress really crazy for and wear glasses. I started getting typecast as this kind of secretary girl."After a series of quirky-secretary gigs, Day decided she'd had enough. She sat down and wrote the kind of role she'd always dreamed of playing, the kind of character who isn't often seen in everyday entertainment. The result was Cyd Sherman, aka Codex, a geeky, neurotic young woman who spends most of her time playing a...

Let’s assume Pee Wee’s Playhouse was conceived during the acid trip of a 9 year-old boy suffering from acute Add. Now, let’s try to imagine another program derived from the child’s mind-altering escapades with a cocktail befitting of a Merry Prankster. Combine that with too much Japanese television replete with an engrish speaking hostess, a furry(ish?) fetish, and a thing for celebrity(ish?) personalities. What’s your imagination got? Yeah, I couldn’t come up with much either. Lucky for us Crackle.com’s Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show (G.T.C.M.S.) does all of the imaginative hard work so we can just turn on, tune in, drop out, and enjoy. Meet Kiko, masterfully played by Kim Evey, a Korean born, American-raised, lactose intolerant improv comedian (and producer of The Guild), actress and writer. We’ll also be enjoying our stay in this absurd...

This morning Crackle, Sony Pictures Television's web arm, announced a "season" of original web series programming which includes a slate of brand new shows as well as a few returning series all set to premiere beginning December 1, with weekly programming planned for every day of the week. Highlights of the 13-week season include a talk show with Emmy nominated writer Bob Kushell (featuring guests including Jennifer Esposito, Neil Patrick Harris, John Stamos and Christina Applegate), new seasons of Owen Benjamin Presents and The Jace Hall Show, and the debut of David Faustino's new comedy series Star-ving (premiering January 16, 2009).

"Delivering on our promise to debut...
