Why It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia Almost Didn’t Cast Kaitlin Olson

It is limited to imagine that “in Philadelphia is always sunny” without Kaitlin Olson. “Sweet” Dee Reynolds, an aspirant actor and comedian who constantly takes abuse from his group – brother Dennis Reynolds (Glenn Howerton), Father Frank Reynolds (Danny Devito) and “Friends” Ronald “McDonald (Rob McELHENNYY) and Charlie Klylie (Charlie Kly. Series. But as it turns out, He almost didn’t get a role … because in his future husband, McELHennyy was a problem as he experienced.

A Variety A profile that focused on Olson and McELHNENY, which is now a major industrial power pair, McELHNENY admitted that in the event between him and howerton – all developed the series together – he was the least interested in Olson’s casting. Part of this is the fact that, during his test, Olson passed one line, which McELHennyy wrote especially by reading the day. When he was asked to improvise without the parties, Olson went there. “I already let go of fun stuff and focused on balancing the rest of the material,” the actor remembered. “After that, I called my supervisor and said,” The test was great. I want this job. But I’m so angry that I left the funniest line already because I was so focused on getting everything back to recover. “

“So he leaves the room, we are undoubtedly 100% of the idea that he is awesome,” McELHENNY added. “But I don’t know if his instinct was 100% right because he left the funniest line. Now is it a coincidence that I happen to write that line? I was 26 years old and probably very valuable with what you are writing.”

McELHENNYY finally gave … but this Casting trip still He was not ready “he cave and settled,” Olson said. “And then I cared for the project.” When Olson finally agreed to play Deee, the other introduced himself, what was that Dee was a sitcom stereotype, a “nagging” woman who just mocked the boys for their bad behavior. In the tradition of female characters, it is allowed to be as messy as “guys”, such as Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Elaine Benes in the “Seinfeld”, Olson wanted more of the role. “When they offered me a part, I asked for four manuscripts,” he said. “And I was shocked because they had no fun Sweet dele.” McELHNENY made some rewriting, Olson eventually agreed to play Deeta and the two were out of the race. They knew a little that the exhibition turned into a lifelong partnership before long.
