WHEN MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING OPENED IN 2002, IT MADE ITS STAR and writer, Nia Vardalos, a celebrity overnight. "I'm somebody ordinary that something extraordinary happened to."
Now, after the 2016 sequel, Vardalos is bringing the Portokalos family back with My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 (September 8). Part of what has kept us coming back to the family is that "we are real people who could be your family. And I think our kookiness and our flawed, not perfect-ness is reflected in our audience's hearts." And now, with Vardalos taking on the role of star, director, writer and producer, she's decided the family must go to Greece, which was made possible through Greek tax credits and Faliro House Productions, who made it "their determination to get me what I wanted, which was all of Greece shoved into one movie."

TYLER JAMES WILLIAMS
AFTER FIVE SEASONS PLAYING GREGORY ON ABC’S ABBOTT ELEMENTARY, Tyler James Williams is adding a new title: director. “I have been wanting to get my hands dirty in another aspect of the process.” With his acting background, “My brain thinks in act breaks and pacing, and I guess finding the funniest way to see and show something.” This evolution is just another notch in an already impressive career, with his breakout lead role as a child actor on Everybody Hates Chris and in the film Dear White People. “There’s definitely a consistent thread...a guy who's trying to find his way ultimately, who may be a bit more awkward and outside of the norm than most people, but who's sincerely trying.” With multiple Emmy nominations for Abbott, Williams said of his red-carpet opportunities: “We may have a little bit more hill to climb. So with that being the case, we're gonna have fun with it.” —H. Alan Scott
