Now I can tell you the show is looking to cast another sicko in a four-ep arc that might just be related to next year's big Grey's/Private Practice crossover. So, call your agents, struggling Caucasian male actors in your mid-30s. http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2008/11/casting-scoops.html Episode 5.12 - Sympathy for the Devil - Casting Call [CHUCK] Male, Caucasian, late 30's to early 50's, comedic. MUST BE 5'4" OR SHORTER. He is a wealthy business man. GUEST STAR [GARY] Male, Caucasian, mid 30's to late 40's. MUST BE 6'0" OR TALLER. He is the smart, sweet, put upon brother to CHUCK. GUEST STAR http://spoilertv-greysanatomy.blogspot.com/2008/10/episode-512-sympathy-for-devil-casting.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary - Scene 1 INT. ER – MORNING Dr. Smith’s with Chuck Ruben, 40's, short, businessman, in a wheelchair and in severe pain, but trying to hide it. With him, is his taller, worried brother, Gary. Dr. Smith: I’m Dr. Smith. What’s the problem? Chuck: (clenched teeth) I am short. Gary: Chuck. Chuck: And I have a little infection from a little surgery I had -- Gary: In HONG KONG. My crazy ass brother went and got crazy ass elective surgery in HONG KONG. Who does that? Chuck: SHORT PEOPLE. DESPERATE SHORT PEOPLE. I got my legs lengthened. I couldn’t find a surgeon who would do it here. Gary: You couldn’t find a doctor in the entire COUNTRY OF AMERICA who thought it was a good idea. Think maybe that should’ve told you something? (to Dr. Smith) It’s barbaric. They broke his legs, they hooked him up to some deieval torture device -- Dr. Smith: Yeah, its’s a very controversial procedure. (to Chuck) You must be in a great deal of pain, sir. Can I take a look? As Dr. Smith gently lifts Chuck’s pant legs to REVEAL ...... Chuck: Hey, no pain, no gain, right? A TORTUROUS LOOKING METAL DEVICE pulling apart his leg bones through HUGE, INFECTED, GAPING HOLES in his legs. We can see down to raw baone. Gary and Dr. Smith look horrified. ______________________________ Gary - Scene 2 INT. HOSPITAL – CHUCK’S POST - OP ROOM – DAY Dr. Smith’s checks Chuck’s post-op stats. Gary’s there, by his side. Chuck’s just waking up. Dr. Smith: How are you feeling, Mr. Ruben? Chuck: My legs hurt ..... how’d it go? Dr. Smith: Very well. You only lost abut a quarter inch of bone. Gary: That’s great! Only a quarter inch, no big deal, right? Chuck glares at Gary. Glares at all of them. Chuck: I’m under 5'3" now. I am 5'2" AND THREE QUARTERS. But maybe I can just squeeze over the height requirement at the amusement park. No big deal. Gary’s had enough, throws up his hands in frustration. Gary: Okay, you know what? Yeah. You’re short. You’re a little, little man. Get over it. Chuck: It’s ruined my life. Gary: It’s ruined your.... you know why I never played varsity basketball? Chuck: You didn’t make the team. Gary: I didn’t try out for the team. I didn’t want to make you feel bad for being too short to play. Chuck: Well..... that’s stupid. Gary: Even now, if I have a bad day? I can’t ell my own brother about it because maybe you had a bad day AND YOU’RE SHORT! Can’t complain about my crappy job because you hate your job AND YOU’RE SHORT! I couldn’t even be depressed about Lori leaving me because you don’t have a girlfriend AND YOU’RE SHORT! And by the way, the reason you don’t have a girlfriend isn’t because you’re short, it’s because ALL YOU DO IS TALK ABOUT BEING SHORT!!! Chuck and Dr. Smith stare at Gary, stunned by the level of bitterness. Chuck: I’m losing my hair too. Gary: No one knows how short your are except for you, dude. No one cares. Beat. Chuck finally looks up at his bother, realizing. Chuck: I’m an ass, aren’t I? Gary: Yeah. And you’re short. Off the two brother, being able to smile about ti for the first time..... ______________________________ ND Surgeon #1 - Scene 1 INT. OTHER HOSPITAL – O.R. – DAY Dr. Smith and Dr. Tomson harvest the patient’s liver. All around them, the other Surgeons wait to evaluate the other organs. ND Surgeon #1: Come on, Tomson. You’re hogging the harvest. Dr. Tomson: I will be done when I’m done, gentlemen ... And the liver’s good. Dr. Smith hold this medical. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Edited by oncetherewasaway, Jan 9 2009, 07:26 PM.
