Eliza Taylor - The 100
S3E16, "Perverse Instantiation Part 2" - "One of my favorite episodes to film and view was the finale of season 3. There was so much great stuff packed into it. I loved the contrast of The City of Light to the big battle in the throne room of Polis, and of course the return of Lexa."
Daniel Ezra - All American
S2E10, "Protect Ya Neck" and S2E11, "The Crossroads" - "I think we're at our best in every aspect of storytelling in these back to back episodes. They're full of tragedy and joy in equal measure and provide a poignant snapshot of Young, Black Los Angeles."
Bre-Z - All American
S2E14, "Who Shot Ya" - "I think it was one of our best episodes directed by Nihkil! The relationship between Coop & Spencer was really tested. Coop was able to see who was in her Corner in such a scary time."
Dan Bucatinsky - The Baker and the Beauty
S1E1, "Pilot" - "The pilot of The Baker and the Beauty was so fun to shoot and—because it was a pilot and we did a few reshoots—was shot in Atlanta and Miami AND San Juan, Puerto Rico—all for Miami. It takes place in one night as was the original Israelí version and those are among my favorite to shoot and to watch!"
S1E4 of The Baker and the Beauty has the worlds of the show collide as Noa comes to the Garcia home for dinner. Everyone's secrets are revealed - even my character, Lewis' secrets as he finally musters the courage to go on a date again! Lewis used to be a model! How much did I love having those words come out of my mouth?" (Airing soon on ABC)
Scandal, S2E7, "Defiance" - "James goes rogue and travels to Ohio to investigate the voting rigging scandal. It was extremely fun to shoot this mini investigative procedural show in the middle of a drama-filled episode. James drives the inquiry and that was the first time I got to do that on any show."
Scandal, S2E10, "One For the Dog" - "A feel good episode for my character even among all the twists and turns of Scandal. For my character James to get to hold his baby—and for me ... to get to go in there and hold that baby and remind me of when my daughter was put in my arms the first time. Very special for me." (Available on Netflix)
25 Words or Less - "Any episode that we Executive Producers are playing—Lisa Kudrow, Mary McCormack or myself. It felt surreal to remember playing together in our living rooms. And then to be playing on TV with Meredith Vieira. Felt so good. And surreal!"
Steve Guttenberg - Ballers
Ballers, S3 - "Dwayne Johnson and his company created ‘Ballers', a smart and hubris filled view of professional sports and the people that works in the industry. I was given the opportunity to be the villain against Dwayne, and it was a blast. The villain has since Greek drama has been the mirror or the hero. The meaner the villain, the more the hero succeeds. The true definition of supporting. You support the hero. The first three episodes of eight I participated in were quite satisfying. Dwayne, Rob Cordry , and cast were a delight to act with. Playing villain to the most popular actor in the world was an opportunity I delighted in."
Camrus Johnson - Batwoman
S1E16, "Through the Looking-Glass"
Episode 16 for sure. I love playing my character Luke Fox's distressed and panicked side from the batcave any day. But in Episode 16 we see time slow down for him as he leaves the batcave and confronts who he suspects to be his father's killer while literally crying outside in the rain. The episode is absolutely heartbreaking and the 2 main plot twists are impressively written."

Meagan Tandy - Batwoman
S1E14, "Grinning From Ear to Ear"
"This is the first time everyone gets to see the real Sophie Moore. She not only begins a 'secret' relationship with Batwoman, but she tells her mother the truth about who she really is and her response is one that effects Sophie for many episodes to come."
Rachel Skarsten - Batwoman
S1E12, "Take Your Choice" - "I loved this episode because I was afraid to do it and I love being given challenges as an actor, doing things that scare me. I've never played two characters at once, let alone in a scene together. It was such a cool experience and I'm proud of how it turned out."
S1E15, "Off With Her Head" - "This episode was particularly challenging for me emotionally but I loved the opportunity it gave me to get people on Alice's side, to understand who she is and why she does what she does from a very human perspective. Also crying for 18 hours a day was cathartic haha"
China Anne McClain - Black Lightning
S3E9 - "My favorite episode to shoot was 'The Book of Resistance: Chapter Four: Earth Crisis.' It's my favorite because this episode contained the most action for my character since the start of the show, and I LOVE doing fight sequences."
Nafessa Williams - Black Lightning
S3E12, "The Book of Markovia: Chapter 3" - "Episode 12 in Season 3 [of Black Lightning] is my favorite. I love the girl on girl fight between Grace and Thunder. It's sexy and fun to watch. Definitely one I would recommend for a rewatch."
Black Lightning aired on The CW and streams on Netflix.

Dan Goor (EP) - Brooklyn Nine-Nine
S5E4, "HalloVeen" - "The season 5 heist, because it has all the fun of a heist episode and plenty of tender Jake-Amy moments."
S1E16, "The Party" - "Because I love seeing the crew all together on an adventure and I could watch Gina talk about herself to a bunch of shrinks for-literally-ever."
(Available on Hulu and NBC)
Stephanie Beatriz - Brooklyn Nine-Nine
S6E8, "He Said, She Said" - "Written by Lang Fisher and directed by myself. This episode is some of my favorite joke writing by our writers ever, combined with incredibly nuanced and honest performances by Andy Samberg and Melissa Fumero as Jake and Amy investigate a sexual harassment case. It was a joy to direct."
S7E9, "Dillman" - "Written by Paul Welsh and Madeline Walter and directed by Kyra Sedgwick. This episode was an absolute joy to shoot, lots of group hijinks and an incredible guest appearance by JK Simmons. I got to shoot a whole scene with him in the interrogation room, just the two of us. I was on cloud nine."
Terry Crews - Brooklyn Nine-Nine
S1E16, "The Party" - "This was truly the first time we were able to discover our dynamic as a group outside of work. And now with social distancing being a reality now, it was so funny how Terry had to spend the whole time making sure the 99 wasn't inappropriate our first time at Captain Holt's house. My favorite lines are when Charles thinks Holt's house will be "Beauty and The Beast fancy" and Jake realizes that I'm "Hitchcocking" him. It's like imagining if the 99 came to YOUR house during your quarantine!"

Derek Haas (EP) - Chicago Fire
S5, E8, "One Hundred"
"For me, episode 100, which is titled "One Hundred," is one of my favorites. We couldn't believe after our humble beginnings, that we had made it to 100, and Herrmann gives a speech in the episode that we wanted to say to our cast, and crew, and viewers. Plus it has a wedding between two characters that had been set up 99 episodes before.
S1, E7, "Two Families"
Another favorite is season one's seventh episode titled "Two Families." It was early on in the run, and it was the first time we hit the theme that defines the show: you have two families, one outside the firehouse with your loved ones, and then this second one comprised of the firefighters you work with every shift. We go back to that sentiment in almost every episode."

Joe Minoso - Chicago Fire
S3, E8, "Chopper"
"My favorite episode would absolutely have to be the Zumba episode. It is really kind of out in left field for our show and I thought a huge comedic pay off. It was especially fun for me to watch all my friends and fellow cast mates try and blindly do the moves I've been working on for a month. It was a great time for all, except for maybe Christian Stolte."
S2, E22, "Real Never Waits"
"Second, would have to be Boden and Donna's wedding. It just felt like such a Chicago Fire wedding. At the firehouse, trucks in the background. And one of our crew members actually proposed to his now wife during the filming of that wedding."
Miranda Ray Mayo - Chicago Fire
"Ok this was hard because and I went back and forth on a couple different options, but here's my official list. We're going back to seasons 1, 4 and 7."
S1, E1, baby.
Back where it all began! I picked this episode because, number one, it's one of the best pilot episodes I've ever seen. Number two, everyone looks like they're 15. It's amazing. Plus, you gotta know where you came from before you can know where you're going, so watch where this amazing show came from and celebrate the OG crew that started it all.
S4, E19, "I Will Be Walking"
Hands down, this is probably my favorite episode I've been in. There's such a great balance of comedy and drama, plus, we had a blast while filming. Kidd and Herrmann compete in "the bar olympics", firehouse 51 comes together to protect a teen about to graduate high school, it's a must watch.
S7, E14, "It Wasn't About Hockey"
"It's about the bad ass women on this show! Brett, Foster and Kidd kick ass and save a high school hockey team. There are also great moments with the guys back at the house. I love this episode. One minute I'm on the edge of my seat and the next the guys are cracking me up. It's great. You're gonna love it."

Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider (EP) - Chicago Med
S2, E6, "Alternative Medicine"
"We like this episode because it shows how our doctors are profoundly affected by their cases—an ongoing theme in our series. Natalie is devastated by the loss of a young cancer patient, but finds hope in another young patient—a brilliant girl who's turned the family garage into a DIY laboratory. The episode also shows how our doctors all stand on the shoulders of those who taught them—Connor with Dr. Latham, and Will with his retired mentor, a woman who taught him the power of human touch."
S5, E17, "Ghosts of the Past"
"Our 100th episode. This one is close to our hearts, first because of the milestone it represents, but also because it gives emotional payoff to stories we've been developing throughout the season and before. Ethan and April's relationship takes a major turn, as does Will's relationship with Hannah Asher. Dr. Charles' loss of his wife CeCe finds a final resolution in his relationship with his youngest daughter; and Maggie's year-long battle with cancer culminates in her joyous wedding."

Marlyne Barrett - Chicago Med
S5, E5 – "Got a Friend in Me"
"This episode was the moment for me where art transcended entertainment and touched true life. I understood why those struggling with cancer are called survivors!"
Nick Gehlfuss - Chicago Med
S4, E9, "Death Do Us Part"
"This was our fall finale that year and it was my favorite episode to film. Will didn't step foot into the hospital which made it a unique experience. He is supposed to get married but is taken hostage in a boat yard. There is a drill, a skull, and the mob...need I say more? To best appreciate the stakes in this episode, watch from the beginning of Season 4."
S2, E20 "Generation Gap"
"Has an important storyline involving Will and his father. Given their difficult relationship, they come to an understanding."
Jesse Lee Soffer - Chicago PD
"Ok so first and foremost I'd have new viewers (and veteran viewers for that matter) go watch S1, E1. You gotta see where it all started! And for the veteran viewers 101 would be fun to go rewatch to see how far the show has come and to see how much the characters have changed.
S1, E15 is a fun watch, you get to see the end of the first season and the first cliffhanger.
Next I'd jump ahead to S5, E1. Directed by one of our executive producers, Eriq La Salle. Really strong episode that deals with tough subject matter of an accidental shooting.
Then I'd say go watch S5, E18, "Ghosts," really strong Upton episode where we get to know her character more.
Next let's jump ahead to season 6! Start with S6, E2, "Endings." It wraps up an emotional crossover involving Halstead's dad. Then go to S6, E13, "Night In Chicago." I love this episode where Atwater has to confront some of the darkest issues surrounding police work.
Next I'd say go watch the entire Infection crossover that starts with Fire and Med and culminates with episode S7, E4 of PD. Only OneChicago can do a crossover like this ;)
Next on my list is S7, E6 where Halstead has to live with some heavy choices he made. Then S7, E13, "I Was Here," is a gut wrenching episode for Burgess. Love the episodes that carry over into the characters personal lives.
Then finally I'd say watch "Silence of the Night" which is the follow up to Atwater's Night in Chicago episode. (Editor's note: This episode aired Wednesday, 4/15.)
Gavin Leatherwood - Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
S3E4, "The Hare Moon" - "Go watch my favorite episode of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, "The Hare Moon". This one was a particularly dramatic episode, but in my opinion, it was the most fun to film. Being out in the woods with a bunch of cool-looking pagans and with the musical number of Purple Summer and the infamous scene where Nick tells Sabrina she wasn't worth it. This one is jam-packed with juicy bits."
Herizen Guardiola - Dare Me
S1E5, "Parallel Trenches" - "Episode 5 is definitely my favorite! It's an interesting one because we see the same day through each character's perspective (Addy, Beth, and Coach). Throughout the episode we get to be a part of their personal experiences, how they truly see things, and how different everyone's reality really is."
S1E10, "Shock & Awe" - "Be sure to tune into Episode 10 (my 2nd favorite episode) for that cliffhanging nail biting finale. Plus my most recent single "Troublemaker!" See if you can catch where it plays! Thank you hope you guys love DARE ME!"
Candice Patton - The Flash
S4E16, "Run Iris Run" - "It's a fun freaky Friday scenario where Barry Allen's powers are transmitted to Iris. Was fun to play and fun role reversal for the audience."
Juan Pablo Di Pace - Fuller House
Fuller House, S2E4, "The Curse of Tanner Manor" - "Filming this was magical, for the writers to think Kimmy Gibbler and Fernando would dress as Lucy and Ricky was such a treat for us. Even though we had already filmed one full season, I feel like on that episode Andrea Barber and I truly cemented our crazy chemistry. It is also a show filled with buffoonery, singing and dancing! Perfect show to enter the world of Fuller House."
A.D.The Bible Continues, S1E1, "The Tomb Is Open" - "Perhaps the proudest moment of my career, playing Jesus on the cross, feeling completely overwhelmed by the task and yet happy to make him as human as possible. I'd had my own 40 nights in the desert... well, 2 nights in the Sahara... to contemplate the stars and pray not to make a fool of myself. My own mother flew to the shoot and was there, watching his son get crucified, as Greta Schacchi, the actress playing mother Mary, was a few feet away from her."
Dallas, S3E1, "The Return" - "My first ever job in America. I had worked abroad for 15 years but never in the US as a permanent resident. First scene out of the gate, my character Nicolas Treviño has to berate the whole Ewing clan and mock them all in a conference room... and there they all were, these iconic actors, looking at a South American new guy who was pooping his pants but had to behave like the king of the castle... I'll never forget, as a show of appreciation for my nerves, they all started clapping as the dude got shouted "cut!". Now THAT'S love :)"
