A million little things cast delilah7/1/2023 ![]() ![]() And I was offered the role of Eddie Saville. ![]() She and I were such a huge fan of the scripts it was clearly of the top two or three scripts in all of the 2018 pilot season. (Gary – Roday’s character – is misguided Eddie multiplied by 10.) So, I'm like, “Thank you for doing all of that work for me, darling, you're fantastic.” And at the very top of the list was “A Million Little Things.” Role? Gary. She read, I think, 70 pilots that pilot season, and graded them all, and wrote down characters that I should go for, and that she should go for it. So, my wife, Bitsie Tulloch (also of “Grimm” fame) … she is a Harvard graduate, and she has the ability to sort through an ungodly amount of information very quickly. Q: So, you were impressed with yourself then, of course.ĭavid Giuntoli: I was impressed with their decision to hire me, first and foremost, he quips. Q: When “A Million Little Things” was first being presented to the media, a lot of people were saying, you know, it's sort of ABC’s “This Is Us.” … They so undersold the premise of this show! So, my question is what first impressed you about this – was it the script or was it the cast – or was it a combination of the two?ĭavid Giuntoli: I was the first one cast on the show. “A Million Little Things”: Eddie (David Giuntoli) and Katherine (Grace Park) are in a much better place this season … as seen in this food fight with their son, T (Tristan Byon). Giuntoli chatted with BTS ahead of the season two finale (10 p.m., ABC). … Where he, maybe, possibly, I don’t know – killed someone (trouble is, he doesn't know can’t remember he was so intoxicated that night). … And, OK, maybe she reminded Eddie of a wild night at the lake when they were younger. It's just that, well, Eddie’s also-an-addict sister, Lindsay (Sprague Grayden), happened to reappear. ![]() The two made up and made peace with Delilah – and even intend to renew their vows. Plus, he’s super supportive of a still-adjusting T. Eddie has become a producer, mentoring a new music maven and making money in the process. Roles have somewhat reversed of late – no, Katherine’s eyes aren’t wandering, but she quit her steady law firm gig to fly solo. Eddie is a recovering addict – and, yeah, he cheated with his best friend’s wife. Katherine, a lawyer by trade, was “the responsible parent” in season one, with a steady job (Eddie is a failed-ish rock star) and a straight path for son Theo (Tristan Byon). In season two, the group has come to terms with Jon’s death (mostly), and encountered new challenges: Namely, mending Eddie (Giuntoli) and Katherine’s (Park) marriage – even as she learns Delilah’s (Szostak) new daughter, Charlie, is Eddie’s – not Jon’s. Somehow, someway, Nash and his team manage to tell that story in a way that keeps the audience engaged, surprised, frustrated, and on the edge of its seat. It’s different tales of a diverse group of people working to maintain their friendships and support each other through life’s worst days and greatest joys. (See: Main character dies in episode one). It’s not an action-adventure, or a procedural, wherein we know the good guys will oppose the bad guys, some sort of fight will occur, and good will probably win in the end. Talk about checking your ego at the door.īut that’s the first thing that makes “A Million Little Things” so great: There’s no “B story.” Ten regular cast members, and each and every one of them gets to play an interesting character with an essential (and welcomed) piece of the overall story.Īnd that overall story is the second thing that sets “A Million Little Things” apart. … But which one is the star on “A Million Little Things?” Not one of them – and all of them!Īnd that’s not even including Ron Livingston, the iconic star of “Office Space,” whose character died in the first episode! This is a group of actors who could easily marquee any number of projects across networks. It has stars who are not stars, and a storyline that effortlessly leaves viewers desperate for five more minutes each week.ĭavid Giuntoli led a large cast on “Grimm,” as did James Roday did on “Psych.” Grace Park was a lead on both “Battlestar Galactica” and “Hawaii Five-0.” Romany Malco spent seven years on the critically acclaimed “Weeds,” while Stephanie Szostak squared off with Robert Downey Jr. Nash and his crew do better than any other show on TV. ![]() What “A Million Little Things” has is two things – and these things showrunner D.J. The truth is, many shows fail because they have a million little things. In a season one tagline, ABC said friendship is “A Million Little Things.” ![]()
