Wow, that was quick

I'm very glad I was not attached to seeing Ben Browder in Hellcats, in fact, I was, well, going to brace myself and watch a CW show just to see Ben, but while he was in the pilot, he will not be in the series. News just came out today. Apparently he's got other projects going (phew!)

I'm actually a bit skeptical that it was his decision rather than the production's. Esp since there is talk of them re-tooling the character. After all he really hasn't worked since SG-1, so wouldn't he jump at the chance for a regular role/paycheck? But, that's just me, looking for spin where there might not be any. :)

It's entirely possible since he has two films he's doing this summer and Hellcats' production schedule would have conflicted with both (Naught For Hire and Freeze Frame).

I can see him wanting to keep time free for both since he's also the executive producer of Naught For Hire, and he's been working with the writer and director for Freeze Frame to get the funding (which got held up from its spring shooting schedule because the director became pregnant with twins).

I must admit I didn't want to watch Hellcats - topic matter justdoes not interest me - but would have watched Ben's bits.
