[TV orNotTV] Re: NCIS stunt casting news
I think it varies from show to show. I never watched Will and Grace (if only because I loathe Megan Mullaly), but it seemed like every week they had two or three stunt-cast guest stars who were slumming to appear on a hot sitcom. On the other hand, The Good Wife (which I've only just started watching in the last couple of weeks) always seems to have name-brand guests, but (from what I've gathered) who have been hired in a multi-episode capacity because they're good actors (and in New York). --Dave Sikula On Wednesday, April 10, 2013 5:41:00 PM UTC-7, JW wrote: It may be stunt casting, but NCIS usually* makes really good use of its stunt-casted actors (see: Lily Tomlin as McGee's grandmother, Robert Wagner as DiNozo Sr., Bob Newhart as Duckie's colleague/mentor, etc.) - I'm confident this will be as well. I guess the problem is a definition for stunt casting. Having Robert Alda play Hawkeye's father certainly qualifies. Reuniting the Mary Tyler Moore cast on Hot in Cleveland fits. I think it's more than just hiring a big-name actor, though. Robert Vaughn playing Duckie's colleague/mentor would be stunt casting. I don't think Bob Newhart is. But I could be wrong about the definition. -- -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People! You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups TV or Not TV group.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: NCIS stunt casting news
I believe it was actually The Good Wife that inspired a conversation about stuntcasting on a recent Sepinwall/Feinberg podcast that was pretty interesting. My memory is that the definition that they circled around that I found myself agreeing with is roughly that it counts as stunt casting if it is something that is done largely to try to bring in new viewers. If you can imagine a promo saying This week _ is on _ then it counts as stunt casting, even if the person is a perfect fit and/or a great actor. The example they were discussing was Wallace Shawn, who is great and all but is not likely to be someone people tune in for special, as opposed to many of the 30 Rock or Will and Grace guest stars that clearly had some of that appeal, even though some of them were very well used. Or, as I think of it, Louie CK wasn't stunt casting in Season 2 of Parks and Rec but was stunt casting in Season 4. Not that this makes sense. - dg On Thu, Apr 11, 2013 at 3:02 PM, Dave Sikula dsik...@yahoo.com wrote: I think it varies from show to show.

Per the various NCIS cast Twitter feeds, Colin Hanks will be guest starring in the final two episodes of the season as a Federal prosecutor. His father would be stunt casting, but is Colin a big enough to qualify? -- -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!

It may be stunt casting, but NCIS usually* makes really good use of its stunt-casted actors (see: Lily Tomlin as McGee's grandmother, Robert Wagner as DiNozo Sr., Bob Newhart as Duckie's colleague/mentor, etc.) - I'm confident this will be as well. *Jury's still out on Jamie Lee Curtis, and the less said about Rena Sofer, the better.
