Is this missing parolee possibly Tony Almeda? 24 writers would do this.
That’s exactly what I thought too…
Tony murdered about twenty plus FBI agents and tried to launch a biological attack on a subway I doubt he’d see the outside of a jail cell anytime soon.
i think i’ll be tuning into this! i love stephen root in newsradio and it will be interesting to see stephen in a drama(i don’t watch true blood).
I don’t care if the True Blood arc (which was good) was the most recent work he’s done (it’s not), reducing Stephen Root to a threeish-episode stint on HBO is downright criminal. Maybe”Mike Judge Fave Stephen Root” or “Noted character actor”? I mean, the West Fricking’ Wing, People?! Pushing Daisies! News Radio! No Country for Freaking Old Men! Okay, rant over.
Dude, I thought the same thing when I clicked and saw who he played on True Blood. DIdn’t know the actor’s name until now, but he is easily the William H Macy of TV. He’s been in freaking everything and to call him “True Blood’s” anything is just WRONG.
AGREED. Yikes. I mean, we all love “True Blood,” but (as G.O.B. would say) COME ON!
I could watch the squirrels and they were married. I could burn down the building.
Oh, great. Now he can ruin a second show. Just like the One Termer is ruining this country.
Since the reporter wasn’t smart enough to include a pic i now know who Stephan Root is.
It’s called “Google” you moron!
Wow, Zach, chill out!!
I can see it now series finale and Jack gets killed because he borrows Root’s stapler (from office space).
all good things
