"So, where are we on getting Spader?"<\/p>\n

Fred Graver, Twitter’s head of TV, is hunkered down in a cramped conference room in the company’s New York office with a tiny team of two. Outside, sales and marketing staffers gear up for a Summer Friday confab, but Graver isn’t thinking about margaritas. He’s thinking about how to nab James Spader. The actor is returning to television this fall as a creepy criminal mastermind in a highly anticipated show called The Blacklist.<\/em> Graver wants Spader on Twitter posting behind\u00e2\u20ac\u201cthe\u00e2\u20ac\u201cscenes photos from the set, live\u00e2\u20ac\u201ctweeting episodes, conversing with fans\u00e2\u20ac\u201c\u00e2\u20ac\u201cand hell, maybe even tweeting creepy criminal\u00e2\u20ac\u201cmastermindy things. That would be just fine.<\/p>\n

And who better to have gossiping on the sofa with you than the star of the show?<\/p>\n
