In reply to: JNTS 's message, "We all have our opinions of *how* NC landed the role on JAG, & in all probability, her contract was probably tied to DJE's, & quite honestly, I am STUNNED that TPTB had the guts to eliminate her role, cause I didn't see it happening. I'm glad it did, never cared for the actress or the character, but am also glad DJE & DB reached an agreement for S9 & S10. Harm isn't my favorite character by a long shot, but JAG wouldn't be JAG without either Harm or Mac. As for Tracy Needham, this is a correct assessment...inside..." on 07:56:51 05/01/03 Thu

My post was in NO way a value judgment on NC, DJE, or DPB (or anybody else). I do not have any kind of inside information on JAG (apart from the usual gossip which mostly is untrue anyway), but I have worked in television production all my adult life. It is common that producers get actors thrust upon them either by studio execs or contract negotiations. I am not saying that it's right or wrong - just that it is a fact of life.

My comment on Tracy Needham was more of a rhetorical aside than anything else. DPB got rid of Meg Austin as soon as was legally possible, and the same is true for Loren Singer. A much nastier way to go, but that is beside the point I am attempting to make. I don't necessarily think DPB has anything against either actress, he just doesn't want them on JAG.

Hey Sam! I didn't take your post as any type of judgement, No Worries! I was just trying to answer your TN question, because it has been asked on several of the lists, & Kip (the show insider who answers questions) pretty much stated emphatically that DB didn't care for TN, & that she wouldn't be back in a cameo as Meg Austin. I here you on the family thing, just look at DB, his kids have had roles in JAG, his wife had a cameo in Need to Know, so I agree with you, its not uncommon at all. Nepotism does reign in Hollywood, LOL! (NT) -- JNTS, 10:22:03 05/01/03 Thu
