Great news, Veronica Mars fans! Rob Thomas has confirmed Tina Marjorino will be back to reprise her role as Cindy "Mac" MacKenzie! How great is that?
When we began shooting Veronica Mars, I asked our casting director to track down Tina. I wanted to find out what she was up to. I learned she had just finished an indie with good buzz that was going to Sundance. The director of that indie with good buzz was a gentleman named Jared Hess, who had been a camera operator on a short film I'd directed. During the shoot, Jared had shown me some footage — five or six minutes – of a curly-haired boy dragging a GI Joe behind a school bus. He said he was hoping to make a feature film out of it. It sounded like lunacy to me -- how was this going to stretch to 90 minutes?(...)I really wanted Tina in Veronica Mars. To say I wrote Mac with Tina in mind would be an understatement. I wrote Mac for Tina, and Tina only. Veronica needed a female friend, and a Q to her Bond. Tina felt like just the sort of girl that Veronica would like and respect. I couldn't be more pleased that she'll be with us for the movie.

Yay, finally! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to watch the movie!
ReplyDeleteFrankly I can't imagine Veronica Mars without Mac in it anymore. She is second most likeable female character in the whole cast.
ReplyDeleteReally hope they either make this a trilogy or bring it back on Netflix or something, So excited!!
ReplyDeleteHe makes it sound like the actress has been up to nothing. Recently she's been a recurring character on both true blood and grey's anatomy. Before that she was on big love and bones. Shes far from some out of work actress.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you talking about? That Sundance stuff is about 2004, when they were filming the first season. He didn't say anything about her current employment.
ReplyDeleteYAY! She's the character I want to see most!
ReplyDeletePleased to see Mac added, I would just like to see Dick and Vinnie announced to complete the line-up and I will be very happy.
ReplyDeleteYep, those two are needed to complete the list!
ReplyDeleteI am happy they signed Madison Sinclair, Luke,and Cliff to appear!
Some of those bit-players helped make the world of Veronica Mars what it was IMO.
Just gotta see Dick and Vinnie join that list and I'll be happy. Was thinking of Troy but he didn't graduate Neptune High - getting Krysten RItter for a cameo would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure Dick will be in it. The actor was in the original video announcing the movie.
ReplyDeleteI think Hansen is a given, he was in the hilarious Kickstarter video and also in one of the reaction ones.
ReplyDeleteYou kinda missed the jest of it, he is talking about the original casting back when the show started.
ReplyDeleteI was a bit confused at first too :) but that is an old interview from the 1st season.
