Well, we’re sure this must soften the blow!!
Although only having just lost their jobs, the cast members of freshly axed Ugly Betty are already at the top of casting executives’ wish lists for new televisions shows about to start production for next season!
Cast members Eric Mabius, Becki Newton, Vanessa Williams, Michael Urie, and Ana Ortiz are all reportedly being courted by broadcast executives, looking to hire them for the upcoming pilot season, which generally goes from March-April.
Now that she’s put away the braces, America Ferrera is apparently hoping to focus on only film roles now.
Says casting executive Marc Hirschfeld,
“The networks and casting directors in Hollywood are looking very closely at the casts that have or will become available on shows like Dollhouse, Ugly Betty, Nip/Tuck, Three Rivers and Lost and bubble shows like Scrubs and Better Off Ted to cherry-pick up.”
It’s disappointing to see the talented cast of Ugly Betty have to leave their HIGHlarious roles behind, but at least they’ll be able to continue working!
Best of luck to all of them!
