According to an Internet report, ER alum George Clooney will return to the medical drama this week to shoot a cameo for the departing show. NBC would neither confirm nor deny the story to EW, but it seems highly likely, especially given what executive producer David Zabel told EW exclusively last year. To wrap the show’s final season, Zabel said he wanted to revisit characters that have existed in the ER over the years and say where they are now. "We’d love to get them all back in some way, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to," says Zabel of actors like Clooney (Doug) and Julianna Margulies (Carol). "But we’re gonna try."
The producers already convinced Anthony Edwards (Mark Greene), Alex Kingston (Elizabeth Corday), Laura Innes (Kerry Weaver), and Paul McCrane (Dr. Romano) to return to the ER this season, while Noah Wyle (Carter) was already contracted to make several appearances. Eriq LaSalle, who played Dr. Benton, directed the Edwards episode. The series finale is April 2.
Julianna will come back or she will have upset one of her biggest fans.
God, the show won you an emmy! Just do a freaking cameo!
my one complaint about that Edwards episode is that he appears in Angela Bassett’s flashback, but at one point he steps out of the room to have a private conversation with Paul McCrane, which we see in its entirety. But how can this be part of Bassett’s flashback when they’re both out of the room? I hate illogical sequences like that–they drive me bonkers.
Good for you George baby if you come back! More people will watch you on this episode than they did Leatherheads!
La Salle did not direct the Edwards appearance. IMDB does list him as directing the 14th episode of this season (not yet aired) entitled “The Family Man” which claims that William H. Macy is returning as David Morgenstern. Is this true?
what’s with u ppl always complaining geez
