Weekday daytime

favorite Arrested Development and
then the occasion of the reunion panel,
there was hope that interest was finally
high enough for a State of Grace
video release, but it didnt happen.
For what its worth, in interviews lead-
ing up to the panel, Whitman and
Shawkat told Buzzfeed.com they became
best friends while starring in State of
Grace, and remain so today. Shawkat
added, I am so excited to have the
show shared again with new audiences.
Alas, those new audiences were just
the people who showed up at a festival
for TV nerds in Austin.
Q: Greg Jbara was listed in Blue
Bloods as guest starring, then
as starring, and is now listed as
guest starring again. Can you
please tell me why?
A: Credits are a very complicated busi-
ness, and the credits we see on screen
have a lot of significance off screen as
well.
Crediting someone as a star in a
show instead of guest star (or special
guest star, as Greg Jbara is credited in
Blue Bloods) means changing their
union-mandated pay scale its a pro-
motion in more than name.
That gets complicated in a show like
Blue Bloods, which has a large ensem-
ble cast. Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget
Moynahan, Will Estes, Len Cariou and
Tom Selleck are all stars of the show.
Thats a lot of people at the top pay tier.
And then theres the rest of Blue
Bloods sprawling cast list: Amy Carlson,
Tony and Andrew Terraciano, Sami Gayle,
Abigail Hawk and Jbara have all
appeared in almost every episode of the
show as well, but they dont get their
names in the opening sequence at the
start.
But of course, thats not all that sepa-
rates the two groups; theres also actual
screen time to consider. Though Jbara
has appeared in nearly every episode of
the show, he hasnt been in as many
minutes of it as, say, Wahlberg or
Moynahan.
There are certainly precedents of sec-
ond-tier (generally called recurring
because its a little less insulting) cast
members being promoted to star, even if
its only temporary. The Walking Dead
does this a lot, for example, probably
because stars keep dying in that show.
This was likely the case with Jbara. I
say likely because, after digging
around quite a bit, I couldnt find an
instance of Jbara being credited above
his usual special guest star. Im tak-
ing your word for it, because I couldnt
go through all 149 episodes of the
show.
