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.

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.

I'm excited about recasting this one because it's one of my favorite '80s movies of all time, and because the characters are awesome teenage archetypes that will be fun to recast with modern-day young actors.

Rumors have been swirling for the past week or so that Johnny Depp isn't as excited about Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides now that former head honcho Dick Cook has left Disney studios. Depp is still attached to the project for now, but supposedly Disney is already preparing to search for his replacement if necessary.
The character wouldn't be recast, but the new challenge will be finding an actor and fictional pirate worthy of Depp's Jack Sparrow.

Since we're coming upon the time of year when lots of folks bring home that special someone to meet the family, I thought the Ben Stiller comedy Meet the Parents would be a fun movie to recast.

I was thinking today that one of my favorite rom-coms set around Christmastime, While You Were Sleeping, would make for a fun recast challenge.
