I was watching the pilot for a second time and i blinked. Scrubbed my eyes and said "fuck me, but that's Cary Elwes."
I'm imagining that during preprodution that the director said, and I'm suddenly remembering that the director isn't an idiot, but he might have been drunk, but the director said "Cary, I know that you got old and fat, and that's a good start, but you're still too sexy for American TV, is there anything you can do about your English accent?"
(I love it when Carey shows up on Psych.)
