Note to NBC: Don't Squander Alfre Woodard
Alfre Woodard by Michael Bejzian/WireImage.com
Dear NBC:
I heard that
Alfre Woodard
has been cast to play
Christian Slater's boss on
My Own Worst Enemy this fall, and I am writing to make sure that you treat her in a manner befitting her status as one of her generation's best actresses - unlike some other network who shall remain nameless. True, she got an Emmy nomination out of her much-derided stint on
Desperate Housewives, but not because the material was extra special! Yes, her steely demeanor and exacting stare are perfect to play an undercover bigwig. But I'm nervous. I mean, I haven't liked anything Slater has done since
Heathers, and that was 1989! So you can understand my concern. Please take care of my Alfre. She certainly deserves it. Go rent
Passion Fish and you'll see what I mean.
Thanks for listening.
Sincerely,
Mickey O'Connor
