(NOTE: This interview happened last October/2012 and could only be posted now due to the network's request)Peter Mooney is Nick Collins in Rookie BlueRookie Blue is back this Thursday (05/23) for a brand new season... And a brand new life Nick and Andy, who last season, had gone off to an undercover assignment without being able to tell anyone what was going on.Peter Mooney answered talked to us about joining an ongoing show and what lies ahead of Nick. Check it out!SpoilerTV: How was joining the cast in the third season when everyone else were a tight knit family? Were you a fan of the show before you joined? Peter Mooney: I was. And I was particularly thrilled with where the second season left off so it was a really exciting time to join the show. Everyone was so welcoming. It sounds cliché but I really did feel after a few months like I'd been there all along. SpoilerTV: Do you do your own stunts? Where do you draw the line for doing them? What kind of stunt would it take to scare you? Have you done any real police training to get into the part?Peter Mooney: Haha. That's between me and my stuntman. I like to do as much as I can but it can be tricky with the shooting schedule. I don't think I'd like to do much with fire... Other than that I love action stuff. It's generally much safer than we make it look. For the training, we have some amazing consultants on the show and working with them's been invaluable. I also did a fair bit of reading and research on my own. SpoilerTV: In what ways are you different from Nick? Peter Mooney: He has a motorcycle and is therefore cooler. I use words like therefore... Less cool. SpoilerTV: How the friendship between Andy and Nick change after being together undercover for 6 months? Where does Gail fit in all this? Peter Mooney: All will be answered... season 4.SpoilerTV: What episode are you currently filming and what can you tell us about it? What's been your favourite episode so far that you've filmed? Peter Mooney: We're currently on episode 2. I'm afraid I can't say much lest I drop a spoiler... But I can say that season 4 starts off with a bang. I loved filming this season's opener. It'll be a pretty exciting trip back into the world for the audience.Follow Peter Mooney on twitter. Rookie Blue's fourth season premieres May 23rd, 10/9c on ABC/Global TV.

Top syndicated shows for the week.

ABC has announced the host, celebrity contestants, and judges for its new summer competition series Sing Your Face Off. Please peruse the names on the list, then meet me after the blockquote for a brief discussion. Actor John Barrowman (Torchwood, Arrow) will host the show, where five celebrity contestants take on the identity of an iconic music performer each week. The judges are former Saturday Night Live cast member Darrell Hammond and pop singer Debbie Gibson. And the show’s contestants learning to perform the hits of famous music stars are ex-Skid Row frontman and heavy metal singer Sebastian Bach, comedian Jon Lovitz, Toronto Raptors player Landry Fields, teenage Disney Channel actress-singer China Anne McClain and former soap star Lisa Rinna. [EW] Okay, ABC. I have to ask. What the hell are you doing? No, really. I want an answer. I’m not mad, I’m just … well, I’m just so confused. What’s the endgame here? Who among you thought the American public wanted a show where Jon Lovitz and Lisa Rinna do, like, Elvis impressions or whatever? And why is Darrell Hammond judging a singing competition? And what kind of mind-and-creativity-stimulating narcotics did you inject into John Barrowman’s butt to get him to agree to host this show? Did the person who created this show forget to cast it until the night before it was supposed to be announced, grab his Rolodex labeled “People Who Will Say Yes to Anything and Answer Their Own Phones,” and start dialing? Is that what happened here? And you’re really going to put this on the air? On network television? I just … I don’t even know where we as a society go from here. So, again, ABC, I ask you in all seriousness: What the hell are you doing?
