Welcome to the first ever Saturday Interview Collection. There is almost never anything worth watching on Saturdays, except the occasional BBC America show or whatever you have left on your DVR from the past week. So, I thought I could help, by bringing you a list of interviews with stars, producers, directors, show runners, etc that could help you through another Saturday without anything to watch. This week includes interviews with Jason Dohring, Morgan Spurlock, and pretty much the whole cast of USA’s new comedy drama, In Plain Sight. Enjoy!
