Television news: Madchen Amick joins cast of NBC’s ‘My Own Worst Enemy’

Christian Slater’s double lifeleading
character in “My Own
Worst Enemy” is getting a new
better half.
Former “Twin Peaks” star
Madchen Amick has joined the
NBC series, where she’ll play
Slater’s wife, according to The
Hollywood Reporter. She takes
over for Yara Martinez, who was
initially cast in the role.
The show recently finished
filming its first episode; it’s
unclear whether any reshooting
will be necessary to account for
the recasting. Also unclear is
Amick’s status on The CW’s
“Gossip Girl”; earlier in the
summer she signed on to a guest
role as a woman who strikes up
an affair with the much younger
Nate (Chace Crawford).
“My Own Worst Enemy,” in
which Slater plays a suburban
guy who, unbeknownst to him,
leads a double life as a spy, has
also undergone some behind-thescenes
changes in recent days.
Creator Jason Smilovic stepped
away from the day-to-day running
of the show in favor of “Alias”
veteran John Eisendrath, though
Smilovic will still be an executive
producer and involved in the
creative process.
Amick and Smilovic have
worked together in the past; she
had a recurring part on NBC’s
“Kidnapped” two seasons ago.
Her other recent credits include
CBS’ very short-lived “Viva
Laughlin” last year and the ABC
sitcom “Freddie.” She’s also
appeared on “Gilmore Girls,”
“ER” and “Dawson’s Creek.”
NBC stars plan ‘Date Night’
LOS ANGELES — NBC
comedy stars Tina Fey and Steve
Carell will no longer be parted by
separate time slots.
The
comedians will play a
married couple in the 20th
Century Fox comedy “Date
Night,” reports Variety.
The Shawn Levy-directed
comedy based on Josh Klausner’s
script will center on a couple’s
routine date night that becomes
much more than a mere dinner
and a movie. Levy, who is
returning to familiar ground with
“Night of the Museum 2: Battle
of the Smithsonian,” thought up
the concept of “Date Night.”
“I wanted to do a relatable,
grounded character comedy about
marriage and the lengths we go to
preserve the spark,” Levy says.
“Tina and Steve are smart and
relatable, and the tone of their
comedy perfectly fits this film.”
Production will begin next year
during each of the actors hiatus
from their sitcoms.
