Q: I have a question
about the actor who
played Jared Leto's father
in "Dallas Buyers Club,"
which I saw over the
holidays. He looks so
familiar, but I can't quite
place him. -- Kyra T., via
email

A: You're thinking of
character actor James
DuMont, who's been on
tons of TV shows like
"American Horror Story,"
"Treme," "Nashville"
and "Bonnie and Clyde,"
and on the big screen in
"The Butler," "Ocean's
Thirteen," "War of the
Worlds" and "Along Came
Polly," to name just a few.
James was thrilled to be
in "Dallas Buyers Club,"
which centers on Ron


Woodroof (played by
Matthew McConaughey),
who works around
the system to help
AIDS patients get the
medication they need
after he is diagnosed with
the disease. James plays
the estranged father of
Jared Leto's character,
Rayon, who's transgender
and HIV positive.
When I recently spoke
with James, he told me
about working with Jared:
"It's a really powerful
scene we share. Jared
does powerful work
in this; as soon as we
finished our scene,
I tweeted that Jared
would get an Oscar
nomination for this role.
And he seems to be the
frontrunner at this point.
I've worked with Oscar
winners, and I can see
and identify Oscar-caliber
work. I get tweets and
emails from all over the
world where people tell
me that our scene is so


powerful, poignant and
heartbreaking. It's nice
to have a little breakout
scene like this after doing
so many projects. It's
tough for a character
actor."

Q: This past summer I
got involved with a series
called "Mistresses." Can
you tell me if it's going
to return, or was it just
something they put on for
the summer? -- Liz R., via
email

A: ABC has renewed
"Mistresses" for a 13-
episode second season,
which is scheduled to
air in the summer. The
show, which is based on
the British series of the
same name, stars Alyssa
Milano, Rochelle Aytes,
Jes Macallan and Yunjin
Kim. The story centers
on the lives of four
female friends, and their
involvement in an array
of illicit and complex
relationships.
