Hector Elizondo has joined ABC’s comedy pilot that could mark Tim Allen’s potential return to prime time. The veteran TV actor (Grey’s Anatomy, Chicago Hope) will play Allen’s boss Ed in the comedy that stars the ex-Home Improvement star as a traditionally manly man in a progressive world.
Nancy Travis (Becker) will play Allen’s wife in the pilot from 20th Century Fox TV.
The unnamed comedy will be penned by the Emmy-winning Jack Burditt (The Mike O’Malley Show, Inside Schwartz).
Love Hector, I hope this is good!
The casting around Tim Allen is great so far with Nancy Travis and now Hector…might even be worth watching now.
Did that writer win an Emmy for Inside Schwartz or Mike O’Malley? Because those are some weak credits.
Exactly my thought–one doesn’t expect to see “Emmy-winning” and “Mike O’Malley Show” in the same sentence. I looked it up: the Emmys are for writing and producing “30 Rock” and “Frasier.” Which means the credits listed are either a joke (which I hope) or something mean-spirited.
Patricia Richardson should play Tim’s wife on his new show. Won’t be right without her.
