Okay, let’s pretend you’re a producer for “My Name Is Earl,” and you’ve got an upcoming episode that features a white-trash female bounty hunter angry at having been jilted by America’s favorite lovable ex-con. Whom do you cast?
Come on, this is an easy one. Think of someone who has pretty much only ever played white trash (or, hint, a mentally retarded girl who is not a creepy, poorly-coiffed haiku writer in real life), someone whom even Earl with his relatively low standards would dump the first chance he got.
Give up? The answer appears after the jump.
Juliette Lewis will play the female bounty hunter. Turns out Juliette’s sister Brandy is engaged to Ethan Suplee, who plays Earl’s brother Randy on the show.
See how easy it is to work in casting? Sometimes these roles just cast themselves…and you still get paid the same amount either way. Must be nice.
