Roush on Rick Moranis and Pushing Daisies
Question: Can you please work any and all magic you have at TV Guide to try to get Rick Moranis to guest on a future episode of Pushing Daisies, opposite his Little Shop of Horrors co-star Ellen Greene (who plays the amazing Aunt Vivian)? It would be the casting coup of the decade as far as I'm concerned! According to the Internet, he's living in New York working at a production company, so he's in your neck of the woods. Please?— Marcus D.
Matt Roush: I'm not sure what sort of magic you expect of me — I have to keep a critical distance even from the shows I love — but what a grand idea. He'd be a perfect fit in this show's twisted little universe. Casting agents, are you listening? What are the odds that the Darling Mermaid Darlings have a talking plant in their back yard? Stranger things have happened on this fabulous show, to be sure.
