When Jordan Donica was about 9 or 10, his aunt took him to New York City with a mission: Get the notion of making it on Broadway out of his system. Thankfully, that mission failed spectacularly.
“It was raining and I was dancing through the streets of Times Square, loving every second of it. My aunt had to tell me to slow down,” he recalls, now happily a New Yorker. “The thing that I love the most is here, at its height — the core where everything explodes out from.”
With determination and talent, Donica still hasn’t slowed down, earning his first Tony Award nomination for playing the hunky, gallant knight Sir Lancelot in a gorgeous Lincoln Center Theater revival of the classic musical “Camelot.”
“I’m just thankful and it just makes me want to do the work even more. Really. That was the first thought I had was, ‘I’m excited to get back to work,’” he says.

Sarah Jeffery has taken on villains, monsters, and for her latest role she’s up against nightmares with the animated series, Lego Dreamzzz.
The imaginative series follows school friends, with Jeffery as Zoey, as they enter the Dream World together, only to find that the nightmares there, and the Nightmare King, have followed them into the waking world.
The series is magical, with a bit of heart, and a great sense of humour. “The show is larger than life and imaginative,” Jeffery said, and playing Zoey is “so much fun.”
“They told me that she is pretty tough and the cool kid at school, or too cool for school, and that was really fun for me because I tend to play a lot of happy-go-lucky characters–and I’m kind of myself more happy-go-lucky–so getting to dig into my bolder side and play with the attitude was really fun.”
Like most kids, Jeffery was a big fan of Lego when she was growing up, so she really enjoyed getting the chance to play in this world.
“I have always loved playing with Lego sets and Lego bricks, and I had [lots of] Lego as a kid, and it was so great because you could… make whatever you wanted and build your own world, and that’s kind of what we’re doing with the show.”
Some of the Lego Dreamzzz sets even come with a Zoey Minifigure, so she’s excited to see character in person one of these days.
Lego Dreamzzz is also unique, because it’s streaming on a number of services, so anyone can find it. You can find the series streaming now on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Tubi, Pluto TV, and YouTube.
During her impressive career already, the Canadian actress, singer, and dancer has worked on Disney’s Descendants films, the series Shades of Blue, and the Charmed reboot. Coming soon, and for a more mature audience, Jeffery also worked with Tyler Perry for his drama, Six Triple Eight, about the real-life all-Black and all-female battalion who served during World War II.
Watch the full interview with Sarah Jeffery at the top of the story for everything she had to say about Lego Dreamzzz, her upcoming work, her amazing fans, and how she keeps social media healthy.

Bij Shannen Doherty, bekend van onder meer de serie Charmed, is de borstkanker uitgezaaid naar haar hersenen. De 52-jarige actrice deelt op Instagram een video waarin ze bestraald wordt.
Doherty schrijft dat ze in januari met de bestralingen is begonnen. “Natuurlijk ben ik erg bang. Ik ben claustrofobisch (de bestralingen vinden plaats in een smal apparaat, red.) en er gebeurt ontzettend veel in mijn leven.”De kankerdiagnose was voor de Charmed-actrice een van de redenen om in de film Breast Cancer Bucket List (2021) te gaan spelen. Voor die film en de Breast Cancer Research Foundation werkt de actrice ook nog aan andere projecten.
Sinds haar diagnose in 2015 heeft Doherty op sociale media openlijk over haar ziekte verteld. In 2017 kreeg ze te horen dat er geen sporen van kanker meer in haar lichaam te vinden waren en dat ze in remissie was. Twee jaar later bleek de ziekte toch te zijn teruggekeerd.
