Question: I've been searching the Net to find out what happened to
Standoff and I came across your column. I think
Rosemarie DeWitt is the star of this show and if
Standoff doesn't make it, someone ought to grab her for another part. That girl can act. She has a rare (it seems) talent of acting and reacting in such a natural and convincing way.
Ron Livingston is so-so, but he looks better playing off Rosemarie.
Answer: Standoff didn't make it. The episodes this summer were burn-offs, and it wasn't renewed. But Rosemarie DeWitt has already bounced back: She's on one of the summer's best series, AMC's
Mad Men, playing Midge, the bohemian illustrator who's having an affair with the show's married lead. (And I respectfully disagree about Ron Livingston. He might not have been seen at his best in
Standoff, but I still feel he's a TV star waiting for the right vehicle to put him on the map.)
