Linda Wang Movies
Actress Linda Wang began her career in front of the camera at age seven as a model for Kodak films. An adorable child, Wang found frequent work in such children's television staples as Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, and later continued to appear in such popular television series as The Cosby Show and The Equalizer. Born in Taipei, Taiwan, the good-humored actress was raised in Queens, NY, and attended school at New York University and the Lee Strasberg Theater Academy. A frequent actress on multiple soap operas (appearing in Guiding Light, As the World Turns, and Another World), Wang has also appeared in such films as 1998's Scarred City and, in what Wang considers one of her most challenging roles, as a pregnant woman struggling against China's "One-Child" policy in Birds of Passage (1998). Fans may also recognize Wang from her many appearances in television commercials, where she has endorsed products ranging from Diet Coke to Pantene Pro V Shampoo. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide- 2005
Al (Ian McShane) and Seth (Timothy Olyphant) discuss the possibility of using Seth's purported Montana connection to get them more leverage with Yankton. Seth reluctantly agrees to play along. Wolcott (Garret Dillahunt) writes to George Hearst to let him know they've bought up every major gold claim in the region except Alma's (Molly Parker), and that they haven't yet reached the point where they can bring in Chinese labor and start operating 24 hours a day. In the meantime, Captain Turner (Allan Graf) is keeping the Cornish workers in line. Wolcott meets with Mose Manuel (Pruitt Taylor Vince), who made a large gold find with his estranged brother. Wolcott offers a massive sum to buy the claim, knowing that Mose's brother will refuse to sell, and that the hot-tempered Mose will find a way to obtain sole ownership. Charlie (Dayton Callie) sends a broken down Jane (Robin Weigert) to look after his friend, Joanie (Kim Dickens), who is sitting alone at the Chez Amis, waiting for a less friendly caller to arrive. Martha (Anna Gunn) confronts Seth about his relationship with Alma, and what it means to their future together. Alma, in a fit of pique, confronts Miss Isringhausen (Sarah Paulson) about her treachery, inadvertently showing Al's hand. Tom Nuttall (Leon Rippy) receives the bicycle he's ordered, prompting excited wagering in the camp over whether he can traverse the thoroughfare atop the contraption. Ellsworth (Jim Beaver) comes to a decision about Alma, but she's not ready to decide anything. A telegraph operator, Blazanov (Pavel Lychnikoff), arrives in the camp, and sets up shop at the newspaper office. Al asks Merrick (Jeffrey Jones) to print an article about Seth's "unconfirmed" meeting with Montana officials. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide

In this political melodrama, a large but peaceful demonstration by black Africans against a white mayor turns violent when the frightened major opens fire on one of the protestors, sparking a panic in which several more die. The remainder of the movie explores the many ways the government uses the demonstration as a means to suppress any dissent, manipulating participants into informing on one another and arranging for other protestors to be shot by soldiers. Eventually, the reform movement's leaders tire of being persecuted by the overbearing white government and cease to be non-violent. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
