Today, RMG client/writer Andre Bormanis begins the first of 22 episodes of Tron, the Disney Animated Series, in company with showrunners Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, series writers for LOST. Spawned from the highly anticipated TRON: LEGACY feature , set to arrive in theaters this December, the animated series will follow a ten episode TRON miniseries and will premiere sometime in 2012.
Andre Bormanis is best known for writing and advising on a number of Star Trek Enterprise, and Voyager episodes in addition to his technical advising for the Star Trek feature film, “Insurrection.” Most recently, Andre was a supervising producer for the television series, “Legend of the Seeker.” Andre’s intense background in rocket science and space exploration as well as his long history in television made him the perfect candidate for the animated series.
It all began in 1982 when the original Tron feature film hit theaters. An arcade video game shortly followed. Now, in the new age of advanced technology and special effects, Disney is retackling the project to give audiences what they have been craving since the ’82 was released.

RMG client J.B. Smoove steps on stage every Sunday night to host Russell Simmons’ Stand-Up at The El Rey on Comedy Central. The final episode will run this Sunday night at 11pm with featured stand-ups Mark Viera, Baron Vaughn, and Rachel Feinstein.
Russell Simmons’ Stand-Up at The El Rey puts a spotlight on three guest comedians with different styles of humor that complement each other. Smoove gets the ball rolling at the start of each episode with a short skit, some hip-hop dance moves, and music by DJ Cassidy. Then Smoove introduces the talent for the night.
Expectations are high for this week’s trio. Inspired by her family, Rachel Feinsten especially loves to impersonate her mother who, she claims, should have been black. She’s appeared on other Comedy Central shows such as “South Beach Comedy Festival” and voiced various characters on “Samurai Love God.” Boston comic and actor Baron Vaughn, no stranger to the stage and screen, will also appear in the new Will Farrell and Mark Wahlberg comedy, “The Other Guys,” in theaters August 5th. Mark Viera, known for finding humor in the smallest of situations, made his network television debut on “30 Rock” and is currently a member of the “Top Dogs of Comedy”.
