David James Elliott joins ABC's 'Scoundrels'
By Nellie Andreeva

March 29, 2010, 08:42 PM ET

David James Elliott

Three days into filming, ABC has made a casting change on the dramedy series "Scoundrels."

David James Elliott has been tapped to co-star on the show, replacing Neal McDonough.

Based on the New Zealand series "Outrageous Fortune," "Scoundrels" centers on the matriarch (Virginia Madsen) of a family of criminals who decides it's time for her brood to go straight after her husband (Elliott) is sentenced to a long prison term.

Former "JAG" star Elliott, repped by Paradigm, recently starred in the miniseries "Impact" and "The Storm."

[> [> I think I could like this one!! An interesting turn as a jailbird! Oh, shades of "Force Recon"!!! (and "Wedding Bell Blues" and ....) I wonder if they'll be able to tame the "Wolf" ;-) -- The Chief, 23:47:56 03/29/10 Mon [1]

[> The actor DJE is replacing, Neal McDonough, played First Lt. Jay Williams in the episode "Desert Son", JAG's 2nd episode. -- The Chief (looked him up on IMDB and thought I recognized him!), 23:53:49 03/29/10 Mon [1]

[> Check out you tube 'outrageous fortune season one' and it will show you what Wolf is like in the New Zealand version. Personally, I love this show and am an avid fan, having watched the New Zealand version from the beginning it will be interesting to see how it translates, although they are keeping on the NZ writers as advisers as that was part of the deal. -- Katiegirl, 06:12:12 03/30/10 Tue [1]

[> Thanks, Katiegirl, I just checked it out and it looks like DJE is finally going to be in something I want to watch. But is he in prison the whole series? -- judi who's not sure about the tattoo part. I don't like tatts, 15:24:53 03/30/10 Tue [1]


[ Edit | View ]
[> [> No, he does get out and have some fun. The tatts aren't hideous if they are going to be anything similiar to the NZ Wolfs. Just one on each upper arm from memory. -- Katiegirl, 20:37:24 03/30/10 Tue [1]

[> [> [> Thanks Katiegirl but Im not sure its my kind of show.I can see this on cable but not on ABC. Let's see the changes they will do.It has a Secrets of a Sex Addict vibe to it and I didnt even finish that movie. -- T2, 21:13:47 03/30/10 Tue [1]


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> [> It's been described as a dramedy or comedy/drama in some of the reports, so it should be fun, especially if it's light in nature. -- Lee, 22:20:18 03/30/10 Tue [1]

[> [> [> [> [> Be prepared, if they use the same span of storylines, there are some pretty heavy issues that are tackled. And if you are even slightly prudish, this is not for you, there is a lot of swearing and sex involved -- Katiegirl, 22:29:19 03/30/10 Tue [1]

[> Thanks for the warning Katiegirl and you know -- T2, 23:23:54 03/30/10 Tue [1]

I thought I was watching the wrong show in youtube because it was too much for me but this is ABC owned by Mickey Mouse so Im shocked if this kind of show airs in primetime instead of cable.
Im not really prudish because I can take swearing and sex if its tastefully done and part of a quality show and movie.
I dont care for if its all nonsense. For instance I understand the swearing in Tropic Thunder movie because they were spoofing Vietnam movies like Platoon and ofcourse our soldiers cuss. Then I saw Ugly Truth that romantic comedy and I thought it was just perverted and tacky all throughout. It made me cringe instead of laughing.
I even stop watching Californication by David Duchovny because his character is unlikeable,tragic and a manwhore.
I dont like sex and cussing for shock cheap value.

I also have a pet peeve for dirty looking people. Cant stand the bum looks. I was shaking my head when I sometimes I scan the Sexiest Males of People magazine when people like Russell Brand,Depp who now looks like Tim Burton and many others. They got all this money so at least they can take showers or buy decent clothes and they dont have to be designer clothes. It got me thinking the recession really hit worldwide when People magazine chose all the bum looking men in the business.

Im gonna keep my fingers crossed this is nothing like Secrets of a Sex Addict.

LevenRambin: David James Elliott is now playing my dad, on "Scoundrels." Any JAG fans out there?

EllenHWong: Leven always gets the hot dads

[> [> [> LOL -- JAG Junkie (Ronda), 06:44:28 03/31/10 Wed [1]

[> I think this will be a great role for DJE. It sounds like he plays an 'anti-hero' and he's a lead, which actually isn't so different from his role in JAG, albeit he played the hero there. Also, he may play a 'criminal', but not a sleaze, and like in JAG, inside -- mj, 11:03:09 03/31/10 Wed [1]

it should certainly enable him to show off his fantastic physique and handsome features while exploring new acting territory. And I like it much better than some questionable made-for-Tv-movie. This sounds like a solid gig/franchise which has already garnered success in another country. I'm looking forward to hearing all about it and seeing it, if it comes my way!!

[> [> I read some TV blogs that NM didnt care for the role and ABC understood because he stands by he is a family man and a Catholic who wont do many sex scenes on this role.He lost many good opportunities because of this.Can I say bravo to this man he is among the few,the proud and principled man in crazy Hollyweird. -- who's my other hero is Gary Sinise, 15:56:03 03/31/10 Wed [1]

[> [> Here's the latest twit from Virginia Madsen's twitter page. "Just met him in the makeup trailer and I completely concur with the AKA! You make a gorgeous TV couple! " -- Lee, 16:23:57 03/31/10 Wed [1]


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> Awesome twitter finds, Sunset! And I agree w/ the poster who gave NM thumbs up for taking roles that don't conflict with his values. Same w/ Kirk Cameron. Good for them. -- The Chief, 11:39:44 04/01/10 Thu [1]

[> At last a series for David, and one i would enjoy. only hope it makes it to the UK along with his others. -- Michelle UK, 16:10:26 03/31/10 Wed [1]
