If Grimm has run it’s course, the creative team and actors have proven their mettle and deserve an opportunity for new projects. Who knows, one or two Grimm actors might end up on a show that runs for 10 plus seasons.(04-08-2017, 05:18 AM)Robyn Wrote: Popular shows typically provide access to bigger, and better, projects for the actors portraying popular characters. David Duchovny was excellent in his Fox Mulder role, but after eight seasons he wanted more than playing the same character year after year.
The network might have cancelled Grimm, but it's an assumption that all the actors wanted to renew their contracts indefinitely. For all we know, some of the actors might have been ready to move on to other projects/roles.
@Robyn. Actually myself and others have mentioned on a couple of other threads that some of the cast and the show runners had been dropping hints for a while that they might be ready to move on.
Take G&K for instance. It was announced they had started working on a new show almost immediately after it was officially announced that "Grimm" was cancelled!
It usually takes a couple of years to get a show idea OK'd for production. So, draw your own conclusion.
Indeed, some of them could very well do so. You may, or may not, expect this, but IMHO the cast members most likely to do that are Silas Weir Mitchell and Bree Turner.
They may not be what some folks call "superstar" material, but like most good character actors they are hard working and talented journeymen.
They are like Walter Brennan, C. C. H. Pounder, and a 1000 other actors and actresses. You see them in film after film and tv show after tv show, year after year, and often forget their names. But, they are always there.
