Joe Flanigan on Rockford...C'est la vie

wraithfodderDarn. Just read at http://www.ksitetv.com/nbcs-jim-rockford-is-cast/ that the remake of Rockford Files has been cast. No sign of Joe Flanigan, however. They reportedly went with Dermot Mulroney, who has never done anything for me in all the years I've seen him in films, etc.
However, this means one less show to look out for. Maybe Michael Shanks will get Hawaii Five-O. One can hope...

Date: 2010-02-27 08:04 pm (UTC)I am hopeful for much more for Joe.
It is my hope TNT or USA picks him up. I always thought a series like Burn Notice would have been great for him or Dark Blue which I think hit the skids due to poor casting, but Hollywood seems very adept at that sort of thing.

That should look good up against the monsters he will
engage as part of his daily routine.
Suffice to say, that's it for me. I am just not interested
in watching a fine show go down the tubes, probably by end of
1st season.
Joe could have done wonders with it.
Once again shows how stooooooooooooooooooopid La la land is.

Date: 2010-02-27 07:59 pm (UTC)Definitely not memorable......
He is wooden in his acting........Rockford does not need wooden
He was in The Wedding Date with Deborah Messing.
If you take a look at IMDB you will see it did not achieve many stars..........
I think they made a colossal mistake in picking him
He is NOT that well known, but I guess they want someone who is
not hot
**snark**

Date: 2010-02-27 08:06 pm (UTC)Your reaction seems sort of the norm
I guess they want to go with someone who is
what? Unknown? Lacks personality? **nods**
Lacks acting skills **nods**
OK I guess he would be perfect for the role then

Date: 2010-02-28 02:49 am (UTC)He was a male escort........like I believed it, but didn't matter
because she was blown over by his appeal
I could not see it, and sure didn't think it was worth what he
was charging her for a weekend date.
She did not have a date for her sister's wedding in London.

Date: 2010-02-28 02:54 am (UTC)Eh?
Dermott is pushing 50 (born in 1963)......hardly younger than Joe.
He has a ton of gray so they will have to do a dye job on him so another reason why hardly an appeal to a younger audience.
I have nothing against him personally, but he is as much
Rockford as Joe would be playing McKay
