Erika was a guest on the “Today” show yesterday morning, you can watch her interview below…

Mercy Synopsis: Johnny Ryan (Scott Cann) is a successful young romance novelist who doesn’t actually believe in love. When he meets the beautiful and mysterious Mercy (Wendy Glenn) at the launch party of his latest book, Johnny’s world is suddenly turned upside down. Shockingly, she is the only major critic who dislikes his book. A cynic by nature, Johnny becomes determined to find the depth that Mercy says he is lacking and, in the process, falls in love. With an all star supporting cast including James Caan and Dylan McDermott MERCY explores the struggle of maintaining a relationship, and the possibility of losing it all.

Mercy will be released to theaters on April 30, 2010.

Erika Christensen and Sam Jaeger may not have seen ‘Parenthood’ when the movie first came out in 1989, but they are big fans of it now — especially since landing roles in the re-imagined version for the NBC TV series from exec producers Jason Katims, Ron Howard and Brian Grazer.

“It was made 20 years ago, but it is so relevant,” Erika, who plays attorney Julia Braverman-Graham, tells ET. “Even not being a parent, I relate to it so much. It doesn’t turn me off from being a parent, while at the same time, giving me fair warning.”

Sam, who plays Erika’s stay-at-home-husband Joel Graham, says he can relate to the show, because in real life, he comes from a large extended family.

“My mom’s sister married my dad’s brother,” he explains. “There is no incest involved. It creates a huge family dynamic. My cousins look more like me than my sisters do, but it is just this large family where the dinner table is always packed with people, so ‘Parenthood’ feels very comfortable to me. It is the kind of family dynamic I grew up with.”

Not to mention, Sam’s real-life wife Amber Jaeger is expecting a baby next month.

“[Amber] likes it a lot, because there are so many characters on the show, I am home a lot, and I can actually be a stay-at-home dad,” he jokes.

And while Erika is not yet a mom, she says she can relate to her character in some ways: “I will freely admit she is not the best mom. I am pretty easy going, and she is pretty tightly wound. But I am ambitious, I love my job, I love working, and I definitely want to make career and family work. Julia is going through some real trials, and, hopefully, I can learn from her mistakes and be a better mother than she is. But I adore her. I love the relationship that Julia and Joel have. You don’t see too many stay-at-home fathers.”

“Parenthood” airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on NBC.

A new promotional trailer for Twisted Pictures’ latest foray into revenge and darkness, The Tortured, popped up in time for AFM, and as always we’ve got you covered for a quick look!

The Tortured, from the producers of the Saw franchise, follows a young mother (Erika Christensen) and her husband (Jesse Metcalf), who decide that the criminal justice system hasn’t adequately punished the man who kidnapped their son. They formulate a diabolical plan to exact their own revenge and slowly realize that the best way to relieve their pain is to inflict some. How far will they go before “justice is served…?”
