"Abbott Elementary" and "Only Murders in the Building" casting directors on bringing in famous faces from Meryl Streep to Keegan-Michael Key.
In addition to finding the new class of Abbott this season, famous faces appearing in cameos have included Bradley Cooper, Keegan-Michael Key, Tatyana Ali and a few Philadelphia Eagles. “It was communicated to Quinta [Brunson], and I don’t know how in the writer’s room that they came up with that specific storyline, but I think they handled it perfectly and having it through Zoom,” O’Brien says, referring to Hurts and teammates Jason Kelce and Brandon Graham appearing virtually. Lilly felt the show also was a beautiful way to highlight Broadway’s biggest talents and allow them to exercise their comedic timing for a different audience: “It’s an exciting opportunity to really give them a showcase to be seen by more people.”
