Rhea Seehorn, known for her role in 'Better Call Saul', recently experienced a delightful surprise while filming Vince Gilligan's new sci-fi series, 'Pluribus'. Gilligan, the mastermind behind 'Breaking Bad' and 'Better Call Saul', brought a touch of familiarity to his latest project by including several cast and crew members from his previous ventures. Seehorn stars as Carol Sturka, a romantasy author in 'Pluribus'.
A Secret Cameo in 'Got Milk'
In the latest episode, titled 'Got Milk', Carol finds herself seemingly abandoned by the 'Others', a viral hivemind. To reassure her, the Others leave a recorded phone message. Eagle-eyed fans were quick to recognise the voice belonged to Patrick Fabian, who played Howard Hamlin, Kim Wexler's (Seehorn) boss, in 'Better Call Saul'.
Seehorn's Genuine Reaction
What makes this cameo even more special is that Seehorn herself was completely unaware of it! The 'Pluribus' crew intentionally kept Fabian's involvement a secret to capture her authentic reaction on camera. They were hoping for a blooper, but Seehorn, being the professional she is, maintained her composure during the take.
“They surprised me. I did not know about this,” Seehorn told TV Guide about Fabian’s cameo. After the scene, Seehorn expressed her excitement: "That's Patrick! You got Patrick!" The crew revealed they had been holding onto the secret just to surprise her.
- Fabian's voice cameo was a surprise to Seehorn.
- The 'Pluribus' crew kept the cameo a secret to film her reaction.
- Seehorn stars in 'Pluribus' as Carol Sturka.
This fun behind-the-scenes anecdote highlights the strong bond between the cast and crew of Gilligan's shows and adds another layer of enjoyment for fans watching 'Pluribus'.
