Actor Logan Crawford used to be a newsreader. Which came in handy when he was cast to play an obnoxious radio presenter opposite Al Pacino in the HBO TV movie YOU DON'T KNOW JACK.

When actor Logan Crawford was cast in the HBO movie YOU DON'T KNOW JACK opposite Al Pacino, he wasn't quite prepared for his character to verbally abuse Pacino's Jack Kervorkian in such a strong way.

YOU DON'T KNOW JACK was Pacino's first foray into TV movies for HBO. It told the true story of Dr. Jack Kervorkian, a man who wanted to help the terminally ill end their own lives.

FRANKENSTEIN is now streaming on Netflix and in select cinemas. Just to add to the universal praise, this is a stunning adaptation from a director who really understands the source material.

ANEMONE might see the return to acting for Daniel Day-Lewis. But I found the film to be a drab family drama.
