Louisiana is quickly becoming known as "Hollywood South". And rightfully so, as quite a few TV shows filmed here are getting Emmy nods, including, not surprisingly, HBO's True Detective.
Actor Michael Showers, who had roles on such shows as "Breaking Bad" and "Treme", has been found dead in the Mississippi River just blocks from New Orleans' French Quarter. The New Orleans Police Department believe that he had been floating there for at least two days. An autopsy is still ongoing. He was 45.
