Just because he worked on Gilmore girls and did a great job there doesn't mean he is the king of all tv shows now and doesn't need to audition or read for a part. That it's beneath him and his incredible self.
| Especially from what I saw in the previews, the show is really different from GG, especially acting wise. So an audition, I think it should be in order.
Concerning Danny Strong's movie 'Recount 2000', the article below doesn't say much, apart from when it starts.
I wonder if he has a role in the movie.
Quote: Election film may be shot in city
Pre-production for HBO's "Recount 2000" would begin in July.
HBO and director Sydney Pollack are "extremely close" to choosing Jacksonville to shoot a film about the disputed 2000 presidential election results, the city's film commissioner said Friday.
"I've got good feelings about this," said Todd Roobin, head of the film and TV office of the Jacksonville Economic Development Commission. "Put it this way: They're very happy with the locations and aren't looking anywhere else."
He expects a final decision within days.
Pre-production on Recount 2000 would begin in July, with filming taking place September through November. Jacksonville would double for locations around the state.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film focuses on those involved in the monthlong turmoil that followed the election. It will tell the stories of workers for each campaign as well as voters who were caught up in the drama.
No stars have been announced, but Roobin said the names he's hearing are "big, big, big."
Pollack, who turns 73 on Sunday, won a directing and best picture Oscar for Out of Africa and has also had a string of hits that include Tootsie, The Interpreter, The Firm, Absence of Malice, Three Days of the Condor and Jeremiah Johnson. The Recount 2000 script was written by actor Danny Strong (The Gilmore Girls).
Recount 2000 is scheduled to air during next year's presidential election season.
