Go ask Andy ? On True Blood last night who was the newscaster that Russell killed on air ?

We were talking last night on Talk Blood radio about the newscaster that was "de-spined"  on air by Russell Edgington. I did remember the casting call but did not recognize the actor but the guys from Camp Blood sure did ( Brian and Andy )


This is the email they sent ..
I quickly looked up the actor in question.

His name is John Burke, and he's credited in TWO episodes as Jerry
McCafferty
  - Everything Is Broken <http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1484336/>
  - I Got a Right to Sing the Blues <http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1484333/>

His credit list includes numerous appearances on other TV shows ...as a
newscaster! LOL

Brian and I know him best from an amazing show called "America's Pshychic
Challenge" that was on Lifetime network:

Too bad that Anderson Cooper didn't do it. ;)

Here was the casting call
Casting call:
[FAMOUS NEWSCASTER] Male, 40s – 50s. Seen on TV, “the most famous newscaster we can get”. 1 speech, 1 scene.

I just hope that he felt he went out
with a bang.
