    I loved Linda Hunt in The Practice! She is a strong actress and a good role model for women. I was not excited about watching this with that other actress, but now I can’t wait. Chris O’Donnell is the icing on the cake!

    Good riddance to the Macy character. She was just completely unlikeable, and not because she was a tough female. “The Closer” has a tough female lead and she’s awesome. Macy was just unlikeable and Lombard didn’t do anything to change that.
    Awesome about Linda Hunt!

    Looks like Linda Hunt is doing fine for her age and she is small in height. Let’s see how she does in the spinoff of NCIS.

    I agree that the Louise Lombard character lacked something… Love Linda Hunt. My favorite role of hers was the bartender in Silverado.

    I’m not so sure about this choice but I will give her a chance. I happened to like Louise Lombard very much and am sorry she is off the show. I’d love to see her return to CSI.

    She’s wonderful! I would like to see a replacement for Louise Lombard, though. The cast needs another 30-to-40-something female to balance out all the guys.

    I would watch if they get Poppy Montgomery.

    I don’t believe Louise Lombard was given a fair shake at this series. The [writers] gave the proverbial personality of a “wet-mop” and “Ice-Princess” Plus, making her too “Gibbs-ion” Know what I mean? C’mon, Linda Hunt as part of this high-tension, super-action team? Laughable.

    I’ve loved Linda Hunt ever since I saw her in The Year of Living Dangerously…which was a terrific film. I like the tenor of this spin-off…it has a touch of The Unit to it and I will watch it religiously. :-)

    I think she’s great for the role. Who says she has to be a giant in heighth? Three of my best friends in college-including my roommate-are all under 5 ft.I liked Linda best in “Kindergarten Cop” as the headmaster.She reminded me of a headmaster I had who was short (and had cp as well then).
