Some of you will have spotted the obvious mistake I made in the Cold Case Cast Catch-up for October. There was no CCCC-up for October. My senility and workload got the better of me and I just plain forgot. To be honest, I don’t think there was much to talk about.
With that dealt with, let’s take a look at the news about the on-going careers of the non-Kathryn Cold Case cast from the past 2 months in the November 2020 CCCC-up.
The main US network TV shows have started returning to the schedules in the past few weeks. Most face shortened production runs, with fewer episodes planned due to you-know-what. Maybe if things improve they can add more. In general the entertainment industry, realising the current situation could be around for a while yet, have been trying to get back to some sort of normal, within limitations to minimise the risks to all involved.
We so rarely get to talk about Jeremy Ratchford (Nick Vera in CC) that we have to give him top billing when ever we do. Looks like this might be old news but it is not something I’d noticed before. I try to keep track but it is possible this got past me. Back in March Jeremy guest starred in an episode of an Canadian cop show called Hudson & Rex. A new one on me. The show is variant on the cop + dog format, as seen in the 1989 Jim Belushi film K-9, and is apparently based on a German show.
One things regulars to these round-ups will know is that it takes more than a global pandemic to stop Tracie Thoms (Kat Miller in CC) working. Mid-November saw Tracie guest star in the second episode of the latest season of NCIS: Los Angeles. She’s in uniform again, and appeared to be a military prosecutor (a JAG?) in a case about a war crime. I’ve seen it mentioned that this episode continues a case from the end of the previous season of the show. This being the trial portion of it. Wasn’t that what they could have done with NCIS and the show JAG when that was still on? Tracie appeared in some publicity material for the episode.
Back October, Amazon Prime and Blumhouse Productions teamed up to release a series of original feature films on the online retailer’s streaming service. Occasional regular on the CCCC-ups, Veena Sud (writer/producer on CC) directed and co-wrote one these films. It is called The Lie. You may remember that we first posted about this film in the April of 2018 CCCC-up. The film stars Marielle Enos and Peter Saarsgard, both of whom lead Veena’s post-CC smash TV series The Killing. As is generally the case with lies, they are eventually uncovered.
