Why can’t they pull actors from films and series?
I guess they draw from Westerns.
There are actors more cut from this world.
Maybe this will be as lame as Fast & Furious movies.
Broadcast Tv doesn’t have the credibility that cable has. Movie actors are willing to test the TV waters but most who still see a comeback in their feature career won’t bother with broadcast.
