Rhona Mitra is an English-born actress, model and singer. Naturally, her career requires her to travel all over the world. And Rhona acquired Oscar, her seven-year-old French bulldog, specifically because the breed was supposed to be good with traveling. But after a trip to South Africa, things started to go bad.

In South Africa, a pit bull attacked Oscar on the beach; the rival animal pinned him down and drew blood. Now, Oscar is nervous around other dogs -- but this caution expresses itself in the form of violence.

Mitra is afraid that Oscar will escape from her yard and start a fight in her "pit bull central" neighborhood of Venice, California. So on 'Dog Whisperer' (Sun., 7PM ET on Nat Geo), the actress turns to Cesar Millan for help.

Recent TV cancellations have left some actors -- up-and-comers and established stars -- stranded. But there's no reason why these actors should be out of work.

Primetime shows just need to follow the lead of the still-breathing soap operas, whose casting directors are picking up actors from canceled shows (Maura West moved from 'As the World Turns' to 'The Young and the Restless'; Kim Zimmer jumped on 'One Life to Live' from 'Guiding Light,' etc.)

So let's take our favorite actors from primetime shows we've lost and plug them into current hits.

Let's face it: Vampires aren't going anywhere. Between 'Twilight,' 'True Blood' and 'The Vampire Diaries,' those bloodusuckers have turned America into a fang-loving nation.

Now we've got suburban spellbinders to enjoy on 'The Gates.' Think of it like 'Desperate Housewives' ... if the ladies never aged, all their dinner parties ended in death and the car pool line looked more like a criminal line-up. Because behind the gates, there's more than just beautiful homes and wealthy families -- there are also secret corners and dark forests, perfect for feasting on human blood.

I caught up with sexy star Rhona Mitra to find out how she's adjusting to the sharp-toothed lifestyle, what we can expect from the show and who her favorite pop culture vampires are.

I am starting to feel that my statements regarding the extreme disinterest I feel for Saffron Burrows and her character on Boston Legal are becoming repetitive. Therefore I am going to comment one last time on how extremely unsexy the kiss was between her and Alan. All I could think was how much hotter it would be if she were Rhona Mitra. From now on, whenever I feel a longing for Ms. Mitra while watching BL, instead of commenting on it, I will go and rent The Hollow Man instead.

James Spader has to be to television what Christopher Walken is to movies. How he can go from a defenseless, lovesick puppy to a slimy, lecherous shyster in the blink of an eye is an acting skill I would kill to have. Pamela Adlon is certainly sexy in her own way but as an actor, I would have a hard time putting the moves on Bobby Hill.
