Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor & Tanedra Howard of Saw VI

In this exclusive interview, Saw VI stars Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor and Tanedra Howard share what they’re listening to with ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor author Rick Florino…

A Taste:

Coldplay, KISS, Citizen Cope, Van Morrison

Saw VI plays out like a symphony of destruction.

It’s the most twisted entry into the franchise yet and, as with all of the previous installments, there’s a malevolently musical undercurrent to the film’s madness.
B However, the stars themselves have quite different iPod selections. Though Satanic death metal and dark industrial would fit the film’s vibe best, you’re more likely to find Tobin Bell [Jigsaw] cranking some Coldplay than Slipknot.

I’ve always thought Chris Martin was way more evil than Corey Taylor anyway, so it’s all good…

Paul Ben-Victor

Paul Ben-Victor of In Plain Sight shares his playlist with us in this exclusive feature…

A Taste:

Van Morrison, Tower of Power, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, The Band

“How do you pick your favorite song if you’re a song lover,” asks Paul Ben-Victor with a smile. “I have 19,000 favorite songs [Laughs]!”

Nevertheless, the star of In Plain Sight managed to whittle that 19,000 down for this exclusive playlist feature.

Paul’s created some very memorable characters on everything from Entourage and The Wire to The Invisible Man and John From Cincinnati. He comes alive on screen with undeniable presence and a sharp sense of humor. His role as In Plain Sight’s WITSEC chief Stan McQueen is one of his most vibrant though.

So in between running witness protection on In Plain Sight, Paul found the time to open up his iTunes and gave us exclusive look inside. Check out his playlist below.

Jason Segel

I Love You, Man star Jason Segel opens up his iTunes and gave us an exclusive look inside

A Taste:

Van Morrison, Ray LaMontagne

Jason Segel has got rhythm. That’s instantly apparent from his impeccable comedic delivery in the raucously hilarious, I Love You, Man.

“I think comedy is very musical,” the actor explains. “There’s a rhythm to it—especially in a buddy comedy. It’s about leaving moments open for the other actor and coming in strong when it’s your turn. There is a very musical element to it.”

Jason and Paul Rudd’s performances simply sing in I Love You, Man. The film follows Peter Klaven (Rudd), a friendless real estate agent who needs to find a best man before his wedding. Segel’s Sidney Fife is the man for the gig. The film is musical even beyond the actors’ sizzling rhythms with power-prog trio Rush making a hilarious cameo.

Paul and Jason got a chance to rock out in the movie too, covering “Tom Sawyer” in Sidney’s “Man-cave.” About their on-screen jamming, Segel laughs, “Paul sounded amazing. I sounded horrible. My guitar is almost entirely dubbed [Laughs]. Paul really learned to ’slappa de bass’ [Laughs].”
