Imagine “It’s always sunny in Philadelphia” without Kaitlin Olson is not a boundary. “Sweet” Dee Reynolds is an aspiring actress and comedian who are undergoing nonstop abuse from her cohort, brothers Dennis Reynolds (Glenn Howherton), Father Frank Reynolds (Danny DeVito), “friends” Ronald Mac “In the middle of MacDonald (Rob McElhenney) and Cellie Kellley, Vito in Or Olson It Olson” But after all, she got little role… because her future husband, McElhenney, had problems with her auditioning.
in Variety A profile focused on Olson and McElhenney, currently the leading industry power couples, confirmed that McElhenney developed the series together between him, Day and Howerton. Part of this is due to the fact that during the audition, Olson skipped one line specifically written by McEl Henney while reading Day. When she was asked to improvise without a side, Olson asked for it. “I’ve already let go of the funny stuff and focused on leveling the rest of the material,” recalled the actress. “After that I called my manager and said, ‘The audition was great. I want this job. But I’m mad and I was already focused on making everything better, so I ruled out the most interesting lines that were already there.” ”
“So she leaves the room, we’re sure we think she’s great,” McElhenney added. “But I don’t know if her instincts are 100% correct, because she ruled out the most interesting lines. Is it a coincidence that I just happened to write that line? I’m 26 years old and probably very valuable to what I was writing.”
McElhenney ultimately succumbed…but this casting journey still He fell into the cave and calmed down,” Olson said. “And I handed over the project,” another obstacle presented itself when Olson finally agreed to play Dee. It was Dee’s stereotype of sitcoms and a “nasty” woman who olded the boys because of their bad behavior. In the tradition of female characters, Olson wanted more of the role, as allowed to be as messy as “the guys,” like Julia Louis Dreyfus’ Elaine Venez in “Seinfeld.” “When they provided me that part, I asked for four scripts,” she said. “And I was shocked because they didn’t have anything interesting for the sweet Dee.” McElhenney did some rewrites, and Olson finally agreed to play Dee, and the two went out to race. They didn’t know that lifelong partnerships would soon arise.
