    The thing with recasting is if the character has a big part in the pilot I hate it when they don't explain why they aren't in the next episode!

    You test for a pilot and after going through auditions in front of the studio and network execs, you get cast. You shoot the pilot and wait for it to get picked. And when the pilot is finally picked up, you get recast. Hollywood is brutal.

    A new actor will be cast for the same role and his scenes in the pilot will be reshot.

    What will be next? Ken Jeong recast on Dr. Ken? The Muppets recast?

    I wouldn't be surprised. I found the trailer for Dr. Ken cringe-worthy.

    So was the male lead a bad actor for them to recast?

    Dougray Scott is definitely not a bad actor.

    I'm referring to The Catch male lead. I don't even remember that guy from the Quantico trailer.

    They're recasting Don Hany in Heartbreaker too. He's a really good actor and the main reason I was going to watch it. Who knows why they do these things.

    Thanks for that last unwanted "follow". That's the eighth one today since I asked you to stop. I'm leaving that up for a while as further evidence of your cyberstalking. Be advised that I've also noticed that you've been drastically reducing the number of other posters you've been following. Hiding something? My complaint to Disqus is in process.

    A shame - he would have been a good addition to the cast.

    All of these ABC recasting is just reconfirming my belief that ABC's new show slate is not strong at all. If they were happy, there wouldn't be all these changes.

    No, as far as I understand, the reason the male lead on the Catch is going to be recast is because the old actor has a huge recurring role on an ABC family show, Stitchers.

    Not sure if that's really the reason, since Stitchers already wrapped it's first ordered episodes, but that's what I got from it.

    However, they are recasting the role of Zoe on The Catch because they changed the role (to make it more edgy I believe) so maybe they also changed the role for the male lead so much that the old actor didn't fit the role anymore.

    He probably has a crap American accent.


    But you're right, it is brutal. Just ask Captain Pike.

    He's in literally most of the team and flashforward scenes damn! What's up with all these recastings.
    The catch has lost half its main cast by now.

    Recasting is pretty standard... but it seems to be in a bit more of a full force this season. Started early and it's quite a few of switches considering it's barely been a week since the upfronts...

    Is this due to focus groups during test screenings?

    And the network 1) won't pick up the show; or 2) cancel before the premiere

    Shoot a pilot with an A list actors - the show gets picked up. After that, recast all of them. LOL.

    None of the actors recast are A list so far...

    When recasting happens this early re-shoots usually are what happens. So that part I'm not worried about at all.

    After seeing the pilot I thought Dougray Scott was a weak link in the episode. So this makes sense to me.
