Not only does Michael Rady play a doctor on The CW’s Emily Owens, M.D., 2 weeks ago he did something a real doctor does. On July 12th he helped deliver his son Ellington.
During the Emily Owens, M.D. panel at The CW TCA Summer Press Day, his co-star Justin Hartley let it slip that the House of Lies star delivered his own baby. So after the panel I took part in the press circle and had to ask him if it was true. He explained, “I delivered my son…There were other people with me.” In fact his mother-in-law was in the room with him and she held her daughter’s leg while he, as he described it, “I got to catch him. Which turned more into a different verb than catch…a removal” Removing his son was a huge deal for him because even though he plays Micah, a surgical resident on The CW medical drama, he is very squeamish in real life. So when he was asked how it was, he said, “Overstimulating! I expected to pass out. I did not pass out and I’m quite proud of that fact.” And you could tell by his face he is not only proud of not passing out, but he is also an extremely proud pop!
So how did the proud pop and his wife Rachael Kemery come up with the name Ellington? He shared with us how they did, “We saw Brian Stokes Mitchell out here. He is one of our favorite performers and he was introducing a song that’s about talking to your son. He (Mitchell) said, ‘I have a little boy and his name is Ellington.’ We (Rady and his wife) looked at each other, and we gave up looking for male names. We looked at each other and were like, ‘Ellington, we love it!'”
And we love having him back on TV! So make sure to mark your calendars because when his son is 3 months and 4 days old, in other words on October 16th, Emily Owens, M.D, will make its debut on The CW and you are not going to want to miss this endearing show.
Before Vince Vaughn was part of the neighbor watch in The Watch, he was in the Army on China Beach. How cool is it to see the 19 year old in his first role back in 1989.
Out of all the people that I could think of that would love The Brady Bunch, Vince Vaughn was on the bottom of my list. But I guess you can’t always assume what people like because he is working on bringing the show back. According to Deadline he came up with the idea and started working with writer Mike Mariano (Raising Hope, My Name Is Earl) on it. Like 90210 and Dallas, it will be about the next generation and this time little Bobby Brady is all grown up and he is a divorced father who married someone else who also is divorced with kids and together they have a kid of their own. Not only will the youngest Brady son, his wife and their kids be part of the show, so will their spouses who are still a part of their lives. In other words it a modern family Brady Bunch style.
Right now the show just has a script order, so it might not go any further then that but in Hollywood you never know.
Since the show is just in the early stages, we don’t know if Mike Lookinland will reprise his role or if any of the other Bradys will be part of the updated show. Personally I hope that is the case because having Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy and Linda Gray on Dallas is what makes the great show even better.
Amy Brenneman Tweeted the above picture of Taye Diggs and her together, and I wonder if they have something to tell us? While I know both actors are happily married in their real lives, their Private Practice characters are not. I actually would enjoy if the two of them hooked up on the ABC show, wouldn’t you?
BTW the picture is just two actors reconnecting on their first few days of shooting.
