The Writers Guild of America strike is at the center of all major entertainment news vehicles, primarily because it has disrupted work on television shows, be they old or new, high-rated or low-rated, even causing some to halt production. Some networks, however, have run into the fortunate luck of having several scripts at hand for some of their other shows, scripts that will last them until January. One of these shows is NBC's Las Vegas.
According to USA Today, the series released their 19th script yesterday, and if the cast continues to show up for production (fans, keep your fingers crossed), then NBC has little to worry about until early next year.

Camille Guaty, one of the new faces on NBC's Las Vegas, knew so little about her character in the beginning that she actually thought she would be playing someone of the third sex.
“In the beginning, I thought they were going to make my character gay,” Guaty told Starry Constellation Magazine. “I was like, ‘Oh, maybe I'm a lesbian, let's find out.' We only know the character development as the scripts come in… You never know, I really thought they might have gone that route, but they didn't go that route.”

When Las Vegas returned to the small screen last month, viewers said goodbye to veteran actor James Caan and welcomed Emmy award winner Tom Selleck as the show's latest male lead. For costar Josh Duhamel, who plays Danny McCoy, Selleck's presence has certainly provided a new dynamic on the show, given the two actors very different acting styles and personalities.
“They both have a big stature. Jimmy is one of the all-time [tough guys] who likes to settle things with his fists. Selleck is a little more reserved,” Duhamel told the Rocky Mountain News, adding that although they “really miss Jimmy… Selleck has been a welcome addition, and the shows are getting better and better."

Gary Scott Thompson is a man who knows how to please the crowds. He wrote the high-octane action film The Fast and the Furious, which spun off two sequels. He also created the NBC drama Las Vegas, which enters its fifth season tonight at 9pm. Thompson has the eye for what people want to see: beautiful people like Josh Duhamel and Molly Sims put in dangerous and wildly extravagant situations. Season 4 ended with several cliffhangers, including a bomb exploding in the casino and the former owner being eaten by a giant squid. If Ed Wood and Michael Bay collaborated, this is probably what they'd make.
BuddyTV spoke to Gary Scott Thompson all about the new season of Las Vegas, the circumstances under which James Caan is leaving, and the excitement of the cast's mothers when Tom Selleck was added to the show for this year. Below you will find a complete transcript as well as the mp3 audio file of the interview.
