Ausiello Casting News: Rebecca Romijn

August 6, 2008 by Tom  

REBECCA-ROMIJN-2_nc Michael Ausiello relays news that I consider good news in his Ask Ausiello column:

Question: How big a role will Rebecca Romijn-Stamos have on Ugly Betty this season? — Will
Ausiello:
A bigger one than first thought. Initial buzz had her only returning for one or two episodes. But now I’m hearing she’ll be back for at least four.

It’s good that they aren’t completely throwing her under the bus, as I had feared.  Although Silvio Horta was correct - the writers seemed to have run out of interesting story lines for Alexis - she still needs to be on the show because she’s incredibly talented.  When she was first cast, I thought “How can someone who is primarily a model be a good actress, much less a comedian?”  Boy, was I wrong.  Romijn has taken her limited material and created a likable (and hate-able) and funny character.

As far as Will’s question above: if I’m not mistaken, Romijn dropped the Stamos part of her name.  She is, after all married to and having twins with Jerry O’Connell.  But, you guys can correct me if I’m wrong.

    You’re right. She dropped the “Stamos” ten years ago, when the Romijn-Stamos marriage ended in 1998. This Will guy must be an old school Rebecca fan, but not enough of a fan to know which name she’s been using for over a decade.
