Orlando Bloom was forced to split up a brawl on the set of a British TV show – when his dog snapped at the sight of Irish comic Graham Norton’s pooch. The Hollywood actor was preparing for his guest spot on The Graham Norton Show last year with his furry friend in tow, prompting the funnyman to introduce his own dogs to Bloom’s pet.

Asfaloth writes: I don’t know if anyone else is a fan of the NBC Time Traveler show “Journeyman,” but I was pleasantly surprised to see a familiar face on last night’s episode. None other than John Noble! His character is as yet uncredited on the IMDB, but it appears that he’ll be a series regular.
And yet there’s another “Lord of the Rings” tie to this show. “RINGERS: LORD OF THE FANS” Dorm Girl #1 Brittany Ishibashi played Melissa Waters on the episode entitled “The Year of the Rabbit.” I hope that John will be appearing on future episodes – it’s a pretty good show.

He talked about his role as King Lear as well as some very embarrassing moments on his tour! May be repeated some time- otherwise look out for it on Youtube!
