River ,'Objects In Space'
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
A friend sent me this link about Rockford Files casting.
How had I forgotten about that article? I'd already read the NF idea. No wonder it pinged me as so right. Ah, senior moments.
Much as I like him, I can't really see Colin as was also suggested. But I'd probably watch it anyway.
I think Colin could do it. But I don't know if he's shown that onscreen yet.
eta: But Nathan is definitely my #1 pick.
I'm pretty much just going off Eureka (and that short-lived horror series he did an episode of).
He has a deft hand with the irreverence and the flirtatiousness. And the sudden pulls for audience sympathy.
Yeah, and I could picturing him conning his way in somewhere, too. And he screws up onscreen without looking like a total schmuck, right? Which I think is a very "Rockford" quality...Rockford isn't cool all the time...he's not McGarrett(or Lance White)
I'm a recent NCIS convert, and I get whiplash every time I see a movie with young!McCallum and think of him as Ducky.
This doesn't happen to someone whose first drooling fangirl crush was Illya Nickovitch Kuryakin.
I could see Fillion or Colin as Rockford. My question is "Why?" All these remakes show a huge lack of originality and/or guts, while having the handicap of the inevitable comparison to the original.
This doesn't happen to someone whose first drooling fangirl crush was Illya Nickovitch Kuryakin.
I love when pictures of Illya show up on NCIS and they go, "Oh, look, Ducky as a youngster!"
Kate: "What did Ducky look like when he was younger?,"
Gibbs: "Illya Kuryakin."
My first fangirl crush was on Illya Kuryakin, too!
Even before Nathan was added to the Rockford discussion (with all of which I totally agree), I thought of Joe Flanigan. Turns out Flanigan is an adoptee too!
I'm not yet sure if Joe Flanigan can act. He was a good Sheppard, but it's not like he had to do much.
