The cast of NBC's hit sitcom Happy's Place is already dreaming big for its second season. They shared their ultimate guest star wishlist in a recent interview. Kevin Costner tops that list for a very special role.
According to sources like NBC and Reuters, the actors hope to feature flashback scenes. They want Costner to play the late Happy, the restaurant's namesake and father to Reba McEntire's character.
Pablo Castelblanco revealed the ambitious idea to reporters. He said his co-star, Belissa Escobedo, is especially keen on the idea. The entire cast seems excited by the prospect of exploring the show's history.
Melissa Peterman supported the flashback concept. She suggested a scene showing each character's job interview. This would offer a fun glimpse into their beginnings at the restaurant.
Rex Linn, a series regular, shared that he has famous friends who want to join the show. He named acclaimed actors John Lithgow and Jean Smart as potential guests. Linn noted that scheduling is the main hurdle for these big names.
The show has already featured popular actors like Steve Howey. Its ability to attract talent bodes well for future guest appearances. The cast's connections could make some of these dream scenarios a reality.
