AMC: Contract cast update

[alexisfan07]

Ok, the changes as of today's CONTRACT credits...

Thorsten Kaye and Alicia Minshew are still listed

Jill Larson has been re-added

Ray MacDonnell has been removed

James Mitchell, Chrishell Stause and Walt Willey are still listed

Finn Wittrock has been added

Those are the changes. I'm glad Stause and Willey are still under contract!

So Thorsten Kaye even though he didn't want to move is still under contract? I guess legally they will have to pay him out for the duration? I still wonder if TK might change his mind....

Before James Mitchell died, I always wondered if he had one of those "lifetime" contracts. I always thought those were a myth, but, if those end credits are a true reflection of contract status, then ABC was paying him even though we didn't see him 99% of the time. Same for Ruth Warrick before she died.

Who the hell is Finn Wittrock?

[jcar03]

It took them forever to remove Eileen Herlie's name from the end credits. I do believe it was over summer 2009.

[Adam]

He plays Damon.

[detroitpiston]

Thanks.

Ugh to him being on contract. I was hoping they'd get rid of him or at least recast.

[Adam]

Its becoming clear him and Colby will be hogging a screen near you with their bland chemistry.

[alexisfan07]

Yea, it sounds like his contract isn't up yet. I'm assuming by the end of February's episodes it will be, assuming they dropped him after his most recent 13-week cycle (since the beginning of March to the beginning of June is about 13 weeks).

Yeah, I think he did have one of those. Same goes for Frances Reid. Bless them both.

While I think Agnes plays the role of essentially a mascot at AMC (lol I hate to say that) I think her being there basically ensured those actors would stay on contract till the end. I have zero confidence that that would have happened with her gone

... don't even say such words aloud in case some troublemaking God is out there and hears you ...

[Adam]

My lips will stay sealed from now on!

[AllMyDaysatGH]

Will Alicia Minshew stay on the contract credit's, since she's still on contract, but on extended maternity leave right now? I hope that question made sense. If not, ...

I like Finn Wittrock, and the character of Damon. Glad he is on contract now, I think the guy can act... Now if he would just cut his hair...

[R Sinclair]

I really see nothing special about this Ripp Lockheed. He looks and acts like another generic, chisel faced, Judy Blye Wilson find.

[SFK]

Agreed. He's better than he was week one, but there is nothing that particularly *pops* (EP's and CD's favorite buzz word for new finds) about him. I know I say this a lot, but there is just something very dated about him, not just looks but vibe, feels like the kind of guy typically cast on AMC in the '90s.

[EricMontreal22]

I think he';s the best teen actor (well, playing a teen) they've had since Sam, actually. The role seems useless to me, but if we're gonna be stuck with a young actor I'm ok with him.
