Q: Is Josh Duhamel’s character on Battle Creek
named after basketball great Wilt Chamberlain?

Twin Peaks meets Twilight Zone. “Yes!
That show is really exciting and strange.
I have a three-episode arc and I can’t say
anything [about it]. I’ve signed in blood.”
So few child actors make a successful transition
to adult actor. What was the process like for you?
“I don’t really look at myself as having been a
child actor. I look at it as being someone who was
destined to do what they’re doing… I think for me,
it was the material and directors that helped me
carve a path that wasn’t solely identified by age.”

she always want to
be an actress?
A: Ross, 42, whose mom is
the legendary singer Diana
Ross, worked as a model
and contributing fashion
editor at Mirabella and New
York magazines before
switching to acting. “I am

Tracee Ellis Ross
A: According to Duhamel, the
police detective he plays was
originally named Milton
Bradley, but it was changed
because there was a former
baseball player by that name—
and it was also the name of the
iconic board-game
manufacturer. So
Duhamel’s character on
Battle Creek, the new
crime drama
premiering March 1
on CBS, was redubbed
Milt Chamberlain. “I
love it,” says the
Minot, N.D. native,
42. “Of course, it
rhymes with Wilt—
Wilt the Stilt.”
