Do big-name actors ever have clauses in their contract concerning what can't happen to the character they play? -- nm - mara Oct 31, 10:42 1
- not that i've ever heard of. sometimes they have producer credits as well, which would give them some (but only some) say over story. -- nm - Sexy Android Andie Oct 31, 10:43
The show basically was on the fence for a 7th season anyway it seems. It's fine to be done. -- nm - kilboooooo, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Oct 31, 10:41 6
- I thought it was supposed to end after the 6th season, currently shooting. -- nm - mara Oct 31, 10:42 5
  - correct and they're looking at 3 spinoffs. one with Stamper, one about the reporters, and I forget the other one. -- nm - Remlik Oct 31, 10:43 4

Recasting would be a lot more humiliating. -- nm - David Oct 31, 10:41 6
- suggestion I heard was to keep following Claire. - Reagen Oct 31, 10:44 1
  - Is that Robin Wright? I've never seen the show, but I did see the suggestion to just kill Spacey off and follow her characaterr -- nm - ty97 Oct 31, 10:55
- interesting...who would you cast? Stellan Skarsgard would be interesting -- nm - Remlik Oct 31, 10:42 3
  - I've never seen the show but off my head, I'd say David Hyde Pierce. -- nm - David Oct 31, 10:49

    - Zombie Walter Mathau. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 31, 10:44
