MehcadBrooks

As season one of 'Necessary Roughness' comes to a close, Terrence "TK" King is having a few problems. Mehcad Brooks, who plays King, stopped by 'Wendy Williams' (weekdays, syndicated on CBS) to talk about the show and to make sure people knew that he is not having the same problems as his character.

"In the season finale tonight, he's kind of having some panic attacks, just because everything in his life is sort of coming to a culmination," Brooks said of King. "And you're having erectile problems," Williams said. Brooks smiled and sat back on the couch, looking playfully upset. "On the show!" Williams added, but too late.

While his character, Terrence "TK" King might be suffering from panic attacks, Mehcad Brooks seems pretty confident in his show, 'Necessary Roughness.' The USA dramedy wraps up its first season Wednesday with guest appearance from Terrell Owens. Brooks stopped by 'Good Day New York' (weekdays, 9AM ET on Fox) to preview the finale and the show's renewal prospects.

A clip from the finale showed King's problem - he sees Terrell Owen's character everywhere he looks. "He's having panic attacks on the field because of this guy called The Minefield, who's played by Terrell Owens for our season finale," explained Brooks. "It's an amazing story. It was a lot of fun to shoot, and it's something the whole family can watch."

February is Black History Month, and what better way to celebrate than to pay tribute to television's brightest young African-American actors.

Most of you are already fans of critically acclaimed vets like Chandra Wilson ('Grey's Anatomy'), Anthony Anderson ('Law & Order') and Regina King ('Southland'), but there is a new wave of up-and-coming black stars ready to make their mark. Here are 12 of our favorites. Who are yours?

(S01E01) "Are we supposed to love this job or hate it?" - Dylan Hewitt

I like this show! Let's face it. Grey's Anatomy is dying, and The Deep End is Grey's Anatomy (the early years, that is), only with lawyers. It's got plenty of snappy dialogue, romantic sparks, inter-office power struggles, handsome people in nice clothes, office sex, Black-Eyed Peas tunes and cupcakes! What's not to love?

The cast of ABC's 'The Deep End' gathered to talk about power mad bosses, bonding over BBQ, and who the biggest bloodsuckers are: vampires or lawyers.

Billy Zane, Matt Long, Tina Majorino, Leah Pipes, Mehcad Brooks and Ben Lawson sat down for our cameras to answer fan questions about how 'The Deep End' is different from other lawyer shows.

Television's legal drama waters will soon be teeming with new sharks when ABC's 'The Deep End' premieres on Jan. 21.

The new series focuses on five young and ambitious associates who join one of the most prestigious law firms in Los Angeles -- and quickly learn just how cutthroat this new world really is.

Billy Zane stars as one of the firm's top partners, with Matt Long, Leah Pipes, Tina Majorino, Ben Lawson and Mehcad Brooks rounding out the cast as the associates. On Tue., Jan. 12, we'll be interviewing them about the show with your questions.

Oprah schedules her show's premiere week lineup, Megan Mullally joins 'Party Down,' NBC plans a 'Prime Suspect' remake and more of today's top TV headlines.

I'm sort of glad to hear that Mehcad Brooks is leaving HBO's True Blood to join the cast of ABC's midseason legal drama The Deep End. At least, I hope that's what it means.

Between his character Benedict "Eggs" Talley, whiny Tara Thornton, and shaky Maryann Forrester, I won't be sorry to see that whole storyline come to an end. And if my recent conversation with Alan Ball means what I think it means, Brooks probably won't be returning. Well, maybe. Stay tuned for that interview.

(S02E08) "It grew back." - Jessica to Hoyt

You know, I never really thought about it, but Jessica is in a really interesting situation. She was a virgin when she was turned, so of course, each new time she makes love, it's going to "heal up," and she'll have to start from scratch, so to speak. What an awful predicament!

It's not so bad for Hoyt, who seems happy that "every time will be like our first time." Not so for Jessica, who says, "But it'll hurt like hell. I'm a fucking deformity of nature. I'm gonna be a virgin forever."
