Has an actor playing a main character on a TV show ever passed away and been replaced? Saw a post on the Sopranos sub reddit, asking what would have happened if James Gandolfini died before the show ended, and it got me thinking, has there ever been a show where a main character’s actor passed and yet the show kept going by just replacing them.

Will someone please explain how J.D Williams (Bodie in ‘The Wire’) never went off as a big name actor? I am rewatching The Wire again and it always impresses me. The wide variety of dynamic characters and the incredible actors across the board stand out in this series. With all its critical acclaim, I am shocked by how few household names emerged from its cast. I am most surprised by Bodie and Bubble. I don’t understand why they didn’t blow up. I…

I’ve been paying for my gym membership and personal trainer as a personal expense this whole time. However it just occurred to me that, since I use those to keep …

When did Rob Corddry become a pretty decent actor? Last time I think I saw this guy was on The Daily Show back in the aughts. The vet in “This Fool” but also was just watching some of season 2 of Ballers and he’s not bad. Still not great, but I think he’s, like decent. It’s weird. submitted by /u/odin_the_wiggler
