It feels like a worryingly short time since the last Cold Case Cast Catch-up at the end October. We’ll keep it brief this time with just a couple of pieces of news about the on-going careers of key members of the cast of the long running drama series.
In the middle of November Tracie Thoms (Kat Miller on CC) took part in another 24 Hour Plays event. Multiple small groups of actors, writers, producers, and musicians get together to each create a new stage production in just, you guessed it, 24 hours. These happen several times a year in various places. This one was on Broadway in New York and was the 15th time they’ve held it there. Tracie worked with Vanessa Williams (Desperate Housewives), Rosie Perez (White Men Can’t Jump), and Kevin Daniels (Sirens TV series). A lot of other actors took part. Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie), Diane Neal (recurs within the NCIS family of shows), Jason Biggs (Orange Is The New Black), Rachel Dratch (30 Rock), Kathy Najimy (Veronica’s Closet), Julia Stiles (Blue), John Krasinski (the US version of The Office), Molly Ringwald (Pretty In Pink), Phylicia Rashad (Psych), and Geoffrey Arend (Body Of Proof) were amongst the stars present. The shows were performed in aid of the Urban Arts Partnership which helps students in under privileged areas by funding arts projects.
November saw Jeremy Ratchford (Nick Vera in CC) continue his run of guest starring roles in prime time US TV shows. Since Cold Case ended Jeremy has appeared Shameless, Hawaii Five-O, Perception, and It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Just this year he’s also turned up in The Mentalist, Bones, and Longmire. The latest work is as another police officer in an episode of NCIS. Jeremy was an old colleague of Michael Weatherly’s character Anthony DiNozzo who used to be a detective in Baltimore.
