Graceland | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

It’s been a jam-packed week full of Graceland goods and we’re ending it with the one and only Aaron Tveit!

The 30-year-old actor stars in the addicting USA drama, which kicks off its second season tonight, as FBI rookie agent Mike, who is quickly making his way up the chain of command, much to his roommates’ chagrin.

We recently caught up with Aaron on set where he shed some light on season two, including Mike’s much-anticipated (and not so smooth) return to Graceland, as well as his oh-so-obvious chemistry with Paige. Check it:

Graceland returns on Wednesday, June 11 @ 10PM on USA!

In case you missed it, check out all our interviews with Aaron‘s cast mates too!

JustJared.com: We know that Mike is in D.C. at the start of the episode. What else can you say about where it picks up?

Aaron Tveit: We pick up in an interesting place. As you saw at the end of [season one], Mike goes back to D.C. and I think it’s a couple months later. and Mike’s been working in this job, and he’s back on the track that I think he thought he wanted to be on – this fast track to upper management. I think he’s starting to deal with hitting some bumps in the road and seeing that D.C. is more of a bureaucratic place than necessarily one where he can go out and get his hands dirty and make things happen. So I think he’s more frustrated by that.

Tonight marks the season two premiere of Graceland and JJ‘s keeping the scoop coming!

This time we caught up with Vanessa Ferlito as Charlie, the fast-talking, badass FBI agent who has a lot of guilt from last season that carries over into this year’s story.

After befriending someone who turned out to be the enemy, she’s a little gun shy when it comes to going undercover. Not to mention, she and Briggs (Daniel Sunjata) have a lot to work out. Vanessa opened up about what we can expect. Check it:

Graceland returns TONIGHT, June 11 @ 10PM on USA!

JustJared.com: How does this season compare to the first?

Vanessa Ferlito: Last season was really heavy. I mean, I was on heroin, it was hardcore. It’s different this season. I feel like in the beginning, you think it’s kind of light…Charlie’s really messed up. Really messed up from last season. She doesn’t know if Briggs is Odin. I mean, she’s hoping and assuming that maybe he’s just not, because how could he be? How could he be such a bad person? I don’t think he’s thinking about all the stuff that happened. A lot comes to light. It’s a little quiet. You think everything’s alright, and then the worst sh-t that you could ever think of happens to Charlie. Not like in a physical way, I feel like in a more mental and emotional way. So I’m really screwed up.

Check out this season two Graceland scoop from the lovely Serinda Swan!

The 29-year-old beauty plays a badass DEA agent named Paige who resides at Graceland with a group of undercover agents. We caught up with Serinda during a recent visit to the set in Fort Lauderdale.

Not only will we see some major romance for Paige this season – cough cough Mike (Aaron Tveit) cough cough – but she’ll get her own case that involves sex trafficking – a fight Serinda is very passionate about herself.

JustJared.com: First things first, how would you characterize the second season compared from the first?

Serinda Swan: It definitely has some of the ties from the last season, like you definitely find out a little bit more about the tape and things like that. The wonderful thing is because there are so many characters in the house and its very character-driven, it’s not just dun-dun-dun the tape! There are many different storylines that we follow, there are lots of different love interests coming in and lots of different things like that. It’s dark, it’s definitely dark.

You get to see a lot more of who Paige is, which is tons of fun for me. The first five episodes last season were an introduction to bring the USA viewers in and be like, “Now it’s going to get dark, people are going to do heroin, maybe an arm or two is going to get cut off, but we’re going to ease you in, it’s going to be OK and you know by the end it’s mayhem.” But we figure we have a solid group now that understands what our show is about and how dark we get, so they really gave us the liberties to have some fun, it’s great.

We continue our week-long scoop leading up to the Graceland second season premiere with this new Daniel Sunjata interview!

The 42-year-old actor stars as Paul Briggs, a senior FBI agent who made some morally ambiguous decisions last year as he tried to protect some damning secrets and do his job at the same time.

We recently caught up with Daniel on set in Fort Lauderdale where he opened up about Briggs’ journey this season, including his relationship with Charlie (Vanessa Ferlito), his back-and-forth friendship with Mike (Aaron Tveit), and of course, a certain tape recording that’s still floating around. Check it:

JustJared.com: Where do we find Briggs at the start of season two?

Daniel Sunjata: What’s great about season two is that it does kind of exist as a piece. So you could come into season two and just watch it not ever having seen the first season, actually, because it’s kind of its own story. But where we find Briggs at the beginning of season two is in a place where he’s kind of looking for some redemption. He did some bad things for, maybe justifiable reasons, understandable reasons, and he’s trying to not continue living in such a dark place, in such a morally-ambiguous place, although the job does have certain demands, and so, of course, I guess the curveball in season two is that every time Briggs tries to get out, they call him back in. I mean, somebody in the house needs him, needs a piece of the old Briggs or needed something done that only the old Briggs would do or know how to do. So there’s that tension for him.

We also find within, I think, the first five minutes of this season’s premiere episode, that Briggs and Charlie are back together. Their love life is kind of put out into the forefront a little bit, or at least the fact that they are rekindling. I’d say around the middle of this particular season, there’s a plot twist there as well, because the relationship goes in a direction that might be a little bit unexpected for our audience.

We’re only a week away from the second season premiere of Graceland and we’re bringing you scoop straight from your favorite cast members all week long!

We sat down with star Brandon Jay McLaren during a recent trip to set in Fort Lauderdale where he opened up about a big decision Jakes makes this season, which leads him down a pretty dark path.

Brandon also gave us some scoop on his characters’ two – yes two – love interests, as well as where Jakes stands with everyone in the house. Check it:

Graceland returns on Wednesday, June 11 @ 10PM on USA!

JustJared.com: So what can you tell us about Jakes’ story in season two?

Brandon Jay McLaren: He starts out, without giving too much away, he actually starts out in a really great place. And I think that’s mainly attributed to the fact that he’s made a decision about how he wants to live his life and what’s important to him. But when you make plans, things rarely go your way and then he’s taking down quite hard and fast. It’s a tough season for Jakes. He’s not doing well.

JJ: Is it safe to say his relationship with his son Daniel won’t happen considering how Cassandra reacted last season?

BJM: It may or may not be related to him and his relationship with the people in the house. You know I can’t tell you that, come on (laughs). There’s a lot of components to it. It’s sort of a layered issue.

We’re gearing up for the highly-anticipated second season premiere of Graceland and we’ve got a weeks worth of scoop for you!

Up first is the always affable Manny Montana as FBI agent Johnny Tuturro, the go-to guy for a good laugh who typically runs the behind-the-scenes operations for his colleagues.

We caught up with Manny during a recent visit to the set in Fort Lauderdale where he opened up about Johnny’s journey this season, which includes a big undercover case of his own!

We also talked possible romance, the new roomie, and how we’ll meet Johnny’s mother. Check it:

Graceland returns on Wednesday, June 11 @ 10PM on USA!

JustJared.com: So tell us about season two! What can we look forward to from Johnny this season?

Manny Montana: Well, for Johnny – I was telling somebody this yesterday – he keeps the same heart. He’s still the same guy he is in the house, but he wants to take charge. And he wants to be looked at the same way people look at Briggs and the same way people look at Mike – he wants to be taken seriously. Uh, so he gets involved in this case…it’s just crazy! And I told Jeff – the creator Jeff Easton – we talked way back before the season started. He asked me what I wanted this season for Johnny, and I told him just, like, make me as uncomfortable as possible as an actor and as this character. And he definitely did that, and you’ll see as the season progresses! Like he goes really undercover, if that makes sense.
