Episode notes
This bonus episode explores the casting and creative team behind Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer. We cover Elliott Gould's deliberate Ocean's-style performance as Legal Siegel, creator David E. Kelley and showrunner Ted Humphrey's backgrounds as practicing attorneys, and the mid-production casting changes when Netflix took over from CBS in 2021.
You'll learn about Manuel Garcia-Rulfo's ranching background in Jalisco and his replacement of the originally-cast lead, Neve Campbell's journey from ballet injuries to Sidney Prescott, Angus Sampson's breakout 2015 with Mad Max and Fargo, Becki Newton's comedy timing from Ugly Betty informing her paralegal role, and Jazz Raycole's early start in Waiting to Exhale and her notable My Wife and Kids recast situation. The episode traces how former lawyers building the show assembled a cast mixing character actors with franchise veterans.
