Buzz In: Which TV Character Would You Recast if You Could?
Putting together my list of TV characters who were recast mid-series got me thinking about some current shows that would just be so much better if I could replace a certain annoying, obnoxious, or simply boring actor with another of my choice. How many times have you said, "This show would be so much better if we could just get rid of ______"?
My pet peeve of this TV season was Lindsay Price playing Victory on Lipstick Jungle.
TV Characters Who Were Recast Mid-Series
Turns out the The Starter Wife had a starter ex. When the show returns to USA as a full-fledged TV series, Molly Kagan (Debra Messing) will have a new ex-husband to despise: Peter Jacobson, who played Kenny Kagan in last Summer's miniseries, is now working full-time on House, so his role has been recast, with David Alan Basche taking over as the new Kenny. That got me thinking about other shows that have recast characters mid-series.

The character wouldn't be recast, but the new challenge will be finding an actor and fictional pirate worthy of Depp's Jack Sparrow.
