Everybody have a tissue handy? If not, grab one, ’cause it’s time for another blind item, and this one’s so juicy you should already be drooling.
It seems the star of a certain hit series has, to quote my mole, “a lot of rules” about the conditions under which he will work. None of his castmates like this — it’s diva antics, of course — but only the show’s female lead has the clout to say she won’t put up with it. As a result, the two have gone from acting in few scenes together to acting in none whatsoever. (In fact, despite a story arc that would have made it nearly impossible for their characters to logically avoid one another, so far this season, they haven’t crossed paths once.)
So, guesses as to the identities of the Mr. Big whose Method is so maddening and the one costar with the stones to rock the boat? I’ll give you one more hint, then you’re on your own: The show has, I hear, “already lost one actress” at least in part due to conflicts over Mr. Man and his master thespian baggage. Your turn. Who are the players in this frosty backstage drama? (Additional reporting by Andy Patrick)

David Caruso and Emily Proctor?
i’d guess csi miami’s david caruso.
CSI: Miami – Emily Proctor and David Caruso…he got rid of Kim Delaney, then the medical examiner left, who’s name escapes me but it starts with a K. He didn’t last on NYPD Blue…Diva Big Time
Maybe CSI: NY? I’m not sure how often Sinise and Kanakaredes have acted together this year, and they lost the one actress after season 1. That seems like a long time though between then and now.
@David: can’t be CSI:NY. Gary Sinise and Melina Kanakaredes had a scene together in the season 5-premiere and at least one since then.
I would guess David Caruso too, but honestly.. I have no glue ^^
Maybe Matthew Fox from Lost
I’m going to guess Mark Harmon … ? I really hope not, cuz I like him as an actor and he doesn’t seem like the type to be a diva but …. there is that whole pesky Kate dying thing in the back of my mind. Please, someone tell me I’m wrong!!
I know that some woman asked Ausiello to look into why Caruso and Proctor share so few scenes together in an Ask Ausiello at TV Guide like a year ago and he said he hadn’t really noticed, but would look into it or something along those lines… so if it’s them I hope he e-mailed her a link to this article.
My guess would be CSI:Miami’s David Caruso, as well. I can see Emily P. standing up to him.
its caruso and proctor.. Somebody tipped Mike in a column months ago back about this. I wonder what took him so long. to use it. Its really obvious on the show once you start looking for it.
If you aren’t going to provide the answer, you shouldn’t ask the question.
@Rachel – You’re wrong!
Also, you’re welcome. It’s not NCIS because both of the women on the show share multiple scenes with Gibbs per episode this blind item says the star in question and the female lead haven’t crossed paths on camera yet this season.
Is Chris Noth still on law & order…Sorry but Ausiello made reference to a “Mr Big” perhaps thats a clue…Not sure…just throwing it out there….
Vincent D’Onofrio?
My guess is David Caruso. That guy’s head and ego are so inflated it’s amazing he can stand up straight.
@ecsmac – I agree. It wasn’t something I ever took note of on my own, but after reading that AA column it became kind of funny, and being that I only watch CSI Miami because the person I live with likes it I have to find my enjoyment somewhere.
It’s Jason Lee on My Name is Earl…
It has to be Caruso or as I call him Supercop. The show is the best comedy on tv nowadays.
It has to be a new show, or else this would have already happened. My guess is Christian Slater, My Own Worst Enemy.
It can’t be CSI Miami. Emily Procter doesn’t have clout. It has to be a show where the female lead was as important as the male. I think CSI:NY or CSI.
CSI: Miami Emily Proctor and David Caruso FOR SURE….
I’ve been saying that for a year, they never work together anymore…
Who can blame her….
Caruso…that man thinks more of himself than he really ever should
It looks like is David Caruso. I didnt know he was like that.
Can’t say about CSI Miami – don’t watch it any more, but Emily Procter doesn’t seem like she’d have all that much clout.
NOT Ncis – Harmon is always in scenes with the 2 women on the show.
Liked Chris Noth – but he’s already gone from L&O CI. Thought the Mr. Big reference was interesting.
Don’t watch Sex Lies Money or Grays Anat or Private Practice – but they are huge shows.
Don’t think it’s a new show due to the hint of the ongoing storyline having seeming to make it impossible they are never in a scene together.
What’s up with that gay “don’t ask, don’t tell” choir boy rape graphic for the blind item?
Thanks emteem! I hadn’t thought of that!
William Shatner??
