There will be some recasting on NBC’s newly picked up
multi-camera comedy series Undateable , from Warner
Bros. TV and Bill Lawrence’s Doozer Prods. The
bromantic comedy centers on Danny (Chris D’Elia) and
Justin (Brent Morin) — two very different guys who are
bonded by their common inability to attract women. One of the recastings
was expected. It involves Briga Heelan, who stepped in at the last minute to
replace originally cast Aly Michalka. Heelan plays the female lead in
Lawrence’s TBS comedy Ground Floor, which was picked up to series the
same day as Undateable. Her casting as a guest star on Undateable stemmed
from her relationship with Lawrence and Warners on Ground Floor. There
was an effort to find a way for her to do both series but that proved
impossible, so the role on Undateable, Maddie, a waitress in Justin’s (Morin)
bar who is endlessly attracted to jerks and bad pickup lines, will now be
recast. Also leaving the project is Matthew Wilkas, who played Brett, Justin’s
gay and prohibitively picky undateable friend who always finds something
wrong with a guy.
