Like At First Sight
Let’s talk about Tony and Don Bellisario for a minute longer. Michael Weatherly got the part when what was supposed to be a short dinner transformed into three hours! The casting director called up Bellisario and said he should meet Weatherly. However Bellisario already had dinner plans with his family and couldn’t do. But that didn’t stop Weatherly from calling him, charming and showing up to the family dinner. Bellisario admitted later, “I liked him from the first moment I met him.”
Moving On
Mark Harmon recently spoke about Pauley Perrette leaving the show. “Oh, we’ll miss her. I’m really aware, and we’re all aware that audiences grow to love characters, and it’s a big deal. And we honor that,” Mark Harmon said to ET. “Fifteen years is a long time. People do what they do, and they move on, and they do other things, and that’s part of life.”
