The Odd Castmate

[Blind Gossip] She became famous because of a different TV show, but is now one of the stars of an ensemble drama series.

Her colleagues don’t seem to like her too much.

She is… odd. The rest of us all hang out and get along off set, but she usually keeps her distance. She’s always got something weird and secretive going on with her private life.

The other thing that bugs us is that still describes herself as a [other profession] first. We’re all here busting our butts to make it as actors, but she seems to see this as a second place career. Maybe that explains why her acting is so wooden. We wouldn’t miss her if she left.

    Yeah, it’s Kat McPhee.

    Clues: “odd”…Kat was on American Idol *5* And the “second-place” reference, mentioned in a comment above.

    Not sure who but the “The other thing that bugs us is that still describes herself as a [other profession] first. ” quote got me because If she described herself as an actor then there’d probably be snide talk about “lol she’s thinks she’s a real actress”

    The picture screams Aubrey Plaza and considering she blew up during Parks & Rec and is now on Legion, she fits. I guess she’d be describing herself as a comedian first?

    I find her really funny and think she seems interesting to be around but that’s all based on interviews etc I have no idea what she’s really like. she has the type of personality that could probably be considered polarizing which is another reason I think it’s her

    Probably way off but possibly JLo?
    If it is her why would they think she’d want to hang out (off set) with the rest of the cast? She seems to be busy with other numerous endeavors.

    Shades of Blue.

    Optional: No opinion.

    Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Veep

    She got famous on Seinfeld, but maybe describes herself as a producer or even comedian first? Personally I don’t care about her either way.

    Emma Roberts? She models some and has released some music videos, so maybe she fancies herself to be a big talent in one of those roles. Or else maybe she perversely enjoys driving her coworkers crazy.

    TV show: American Horror Story

    Optional: Probably not. She doesn’t look like the sort who would be friends anyone not a thin, young, edgy fashionista. I also have the feeling she doesn’t like other women. And I’m a cranky eccentric myself, so there is that.

    I’m getting a Shailene Woodley vibe because she’s an activist and doesn’t do the typical hollywood thing.

    People need to stop hating on this girl. She actually cares about stuff and fights for what she believes in.

    Actress: Lea Michelle

    TV Show: The Mayor

    *refers to herself as a singer first*

    Optional: she seems like a work type of friend, like that person you have a laugh and a convo with on the clock and when u walk out the building u pretend u don’t know each other haha

    Btw: if anyone here watches the mayor u can tell right off the bat her character isn’t that big and is easily replaceable and she wouldn’t be that missed if they wrote her off.

    Shailene Woodley in Big Little Lies?

    I know the series just got rewed for season 2. She always seemed like an outlier in that cast and I think would prefer to be known as a social activist.

    • NicoleNorton says

      I think you have got it based on the clues.
      Secretive and life – secret life of the American teenager
      Wooden – woodley
      second career – activism
      She has talked a lot in interviews about her causes and beliefs. She does not also fall into the Hollywood stereotype as she doesn’t love to do red carpets etc. Plus the rest of the cast is quite close.

  35. JuJuBe28 says

    Jennifer Lopez

    Shades of Blue

    Do you think you would enjoy having her as a colleague? No, she doesn’t seem like a team player.

  37. badgerette85 says

    Though I hope not…

    Mandy Moore (photo is spot on)
    This Is Us
    Also on Grey’s Anatomy
    Was a singer first.

  39. KatarinaJ says

    Elisabeth Moss famous for Mad Men and now THT? Soneqa Martin-Green once on THE WALKING DEAD and now the new Star Trek? Don’t feel there are any clues and also Moss was in THE WEST WING so maybe not. Although her Scientology ties may make her more of an outsider/not deal with cast members.

    I have absolutely no reason to say this, but my guess is Aubrey Plaza. I just wanted a chance to say out loud that I can’t figure out why I have always had a visceral, negative reaction to her. So I’m hoping this is about her, even though I have nothing to back that up.

  44. traherne says

    No idea, but if she shows up on time and knows her lines, she’s ok in my book. Not everyone will want to be your friend.

  48. stolidog says

    Leah Michelle, The Mayor. I would never speak to her as a colleague, and she would never speak to me, so…I guess it would be ok.

    Actress: Lady Gags
    TV Show: American horror Story
    Optional: Lady Gaga is a far better singer then she is as a actress. So I think it’s ok that she described herself that way. I don’t think she would be fun to work with. However I would be concentrating on my work instead of trying to hang out with her.
