5th Annual Indie Series Awards: Carolyn Hennesy Steals Amy Acker's ISA, Charlene Tilton Wins for 'DeVanity'

DeVanity guest star Charlene Tilton proudly accepts the ISA from her daughter, Cherish Lee.

The 5th Annual Indie Series Awards were held on April 2, 2014 at the El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood. Lisa Gifford (3some) and Richard Cutting (Milgram and the Fastwalkers) presented the awards for Best Guest Star - Comedy and Best Guest Star - Drama. When Amy Acker (Husbands) was announced as the Comedy winner, ISA5 host Carolyn Hennesy (Single Siblings), also nominated, ran on the stage and stole the award! The stage manager and trophy girl Cherish Lee were able to wrestle the award away from Hennesy and give it to Jane Espenson, who accepted on Acker's behalf. Next, Charlene Tilton (DeVanity) wins in the Drama category, and is given the award by Cherish Lee, her daughter.

'As the World Turns' Star Colleen Zenk Joins Hit Web Series 'Milgram And The Fastwalkers'

Colleen Zenk

Hit web series Milgram And The Fastwalkers has added three-time Daytime Emmy Award nominee Colleen Zenk to its cast for the show's upcoming second season. Fastwalkers, a noir soap opera about UFOs that launched in mid-2012 to over 2 million views on Koldcast TV, will return on December 2nd for Season 2.

Zenk, best known for her role as 32-year run as Barbara Ryan on the daytime drama As the World Turns, joins Fastwalkers in the role of famous Broadway star Whit Wilkerson.

"We are positively thrilled that Colleen is joining us on Fastwalkers," said executive producer and creator, Richard Cutting. "Colleen's strong skills at blending dramatic interpretation with a puckish comic sensibility, and her willingness to engage unusual yet authentic characters, make her the perfect choice for this role."

"As an actor, I'm honored to be asked to be a part of this well-written, highly-acclaimed series, and as a sci-fi geek, I'm thrilled to get to dip my toes into a genre I love !” said Zenk.

"Fastwalkers is Fire In The Sky meets General Hospital meets In Treatment, and poses the question, 'What if they're real…What then?" said Cutting. "If you like soaps, UFOs and noir films, you'll enjoy our show."
