‘Elsbeth’ Casting Director on Finding the Perfect Guest Stars for Killer Cameos — and Which One Gave Her Chills


'Elsbeth,' led by Carrie Preston, has brought one some of the most talented guest stars of the season.

In Season 2, Nathan Lane, Pamela Adlon, Mary-Louise Parker, Laurie Metcalf, Alyssa Milano, Vanessa Williams, Matthew Broderick, David Alan Grier, Michael Emerson and Tracey Ullman all stopped by to get blood on their hands — and the audience was in on it. Davidson has leaned heavily on New York’s theater pool with Lane, Parker, Broderick, Laura Berlanti, Billy Magnussen and Arian Moayed.
