I think she's contractually obligated to promote her film. Also, if what has been said is true, she's moved to New York primarily. That's why her rehab is being done in New York State and not California. On 4/11/13, PGage pga...@gmail.com wrote: On Wed, Apr 10, 2013 at 11:04 PM, Dave Sikula

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

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

Even more than the many written tributes this past week, the memorial reinforced to me how much I didn't know about Mr. Ebert.  More to the point, I quite underestimated the extent of his non-television work. Kevin is spot on about the production, but I had the impression that the streaming
