"NCIS: LA" series star Eric Christian Olsen, who plays Detective Marty Deeks, puts his undercover skills to the test as he becomes Dean, a new page at the Paramount Studios Lot, where "NCIS: LA" is filmed. Olsen tries to go unrecognized as he gives tours to unsuspecting visitors.

Yahoo! TV chatted with Olsen about his impromptu prank.

Tell us how this prank came about.
I was standing by the "NCIS: LA" stages with Daniela Ruah [who plays Special Agent Kensi Blye], when one of the tour golf carts drove by with guests. I told Daniela that when I was little, I always wanted to be the tour guide on the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland. The Paramount Lot Tour is potentially the same thing, minus the hippo. And the next thing I knew, I was in a Paramount Page outfit, going undercover as "Dean, the Paramount Page."

How long did you study the Paramount Studios Lot guide book?
Well, the Paramount Pages take about two weeks of classes. I dedicated a solid 60 minutes to the official guidebook,

One of the great things about the fall TV season is seeing so many up-and-coming actors in potentially breakthrough roles. Now, we're not psychics, but we have some hunches about which of this year's fresh faces you'll be seeing a lot more of down the road. (And not to toot our own horn, but our past picks have included Max Greenfield, Lea Michele, Archie Panjabi, and Zach Galifianakis.)

Here we highlight three fresh new faces — the often shirtless Taylor Kinney of "Chicago Fire" (boyfriend of Lady Gaga), Mamie Gummer of "Emily Owens, M.D." (daughter of Meryl Streep), and Dakota Johnson of "Ben and Kate" (daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith) — we think everyone will be taking note of this fall.

Check out the second of our five Fall TV Preview videos right here, and get your first look at these fall fresh faces with preview clips, expert commentary, and exclusive interviews. And stay tuned in the weeks to come for more Fall TV Preview videos, right here on Yahoo! TV.

Fox ushers in a new, new girl to its Tuesday-night comedy block this fall with "The Mindy Project," a single-camera comedy from Mindy Kaling, an Emmy-nominated writer and producer for her work on "The Office" (in which she also starred in as Kelly Kapoor and will reprise that role for the show's Season 9 premiere) and a New York Times best-selling author. "The Mindy Project" doesn't officially premiere until September 25, but you can watch the pilot in full right here on Yahoo! TV, four weeks before it airs.

Kaling plays Mindy Lahiri, a talented and successful OB/GYN who happens to be an unlucky-in-love hopeless romantic obsessed with finding her own perfect rom-com happy ending a la the Nora Ephron films she watches on loop. Mindy's co-workers at the medical practice include Danny (Chris Messina), a guys' guy, patient-poaching doctor who gives Mindy a hard time about everything and the cocky British doc Jeremy (Ed Weeks), who Mindy often finds herself hopping into bed with even

Lisa Whelchel: now and then (Monty Brinton/CBS, Herb Ball/NBCU Photo Bank)Lisa Whelchel, best known for her role as Blair Warner on the '80s television show "The Facts of Life," headlines the cast of "Survivor: Philippines," which premieres Wednesday, September 19 on CBS. The former teen actress will join 17 other castaways, including retired MLB player Jeff Kent and three returning players (to be revealed Wednesday), to compete for $1 million and the title of Sole Survivor.

"I'm a huge, huge fan and have been from Season 1. I haven't missed an episode. I love the game and was born to play it," Whelchel shared with Yahoo! TV while on location during filming. "I never wanted to do reality TV, but this doesn't feel like reality TV. This feels like having an adventure that I've always wanted to have. Even if this weren't filmed, I would want to do it. It just happened that it's filmed and put on television and I use to be on television."

On this week's "Happy Endings," Dave (Zachary Knighton) smiles for the camera as he tries to drum up more business for his food truck, Steak Me Home Tonight, by shooting a commercial. Of course his first attempt doesn't turn out the way he expected, and his second try -- even with directorial help from Max (Adam Pally) -- doesn't fare too well either. But we'll let you be the judge since we have both commercials right here.

"One was done by Dave himself, but Dave is terrible on camera and the results are horrible in a very specific way," says Knighton of the first commercial.

When "Happy Endings" debuted earlier this year, viewers and critics alike brushed it off as yet another relationship sitcom that would quickly see its demise. But unlike NBC's "Perfect Couples," CBS's "Mad Love," Fox's "Traffic Light," and even ABC's "Better With You," the alphabet network actually picked up "Happy Endings" for a second season -- and deservedly so. On second look, you'll find that the comedy, about six friends approaching their thirties in Chicago, is actually really funny. The humor is original and the ensemble cast is quick-witted. If you're not already a fan, you should check out this comedic gem of a show. And what better way than to catch this week's Halloween episode before it airs? You can do that right here on Yahoo! TV.

On the episode (titled "Spooky Endings"), Jane and Brad experience first-hand what life in the suburbs is like when they spend Halloween night house-sitting for friends. Back in the city, the rest of the gang -- wearing some pretty unique duds
