If you had your druthers, what musical guest would they land?
You know, I was so in awe of George Michael. I could not believe that they got him. When we read the pilot, I thought, “Oh, nice try, but you’ll never get him.” You know, it’s like, this will never happen. And then, cut to, I’m acting with George Michael. It was fantastic. He was so willing and nervous and sweet. He didn’t realize, you know, you have to sort of like stand in one spot? Like on my close-up, he’d be covering the camera. But he was so sweet. It was a great thrill to work with him.
Eli Stone is the story of a lawyer who suddenly starts have hallucinations … of George Michael. It starts out with George Michael singing “Faith” on his coffee table. What’s so fun about the first season of this television show is that George Michael makes multiple appearances. All of the show titles are George Michael or Wham! songs, and many of the musical numbers are also George Michael songs.
