What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNow to our guest tonight, an actor who stars in the new streaming drama Lighthouse Lawyer. Zebediah Crandall, welcome to BBN.

  2. Zebediah CrandallThank you, Vera. I'm in a real lighthouse, so if the signal drops, that's the sea taking a stand.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDeadline reports that Mark Harmon and Michael Weatherly will reunite on NCIS: Origins, and fans are thrilled. What's your take?

  4. Zebediah CrandallI'm very emotional, Vera. I know that set. Between takes, I used to lie perfectly still on a cold floor and feel the family.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOn the floor?

  6. Zebediah CrandallProfessionally. It's all in my laminated call sheet, which I have right here and will not be showing you.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLet's talk about Lighthouse Lawyer. Tell us what viewers can expect.

  8. Zebediah CrandallI play a man who defends sailors in court, but only on days when the tide allows a hearing. It's very tidal television.

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat sounds like it could really shake up the legal world.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBut let me ask you the hard one: how many NCIS episodes were you actually in?

  11. Zebediah CrandallMany. Well, the number is more of a feeling. Let's say the show was in me.

  12. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYou're dodging. Give me a number.

  13. Zebediah CrandallOne. One episode. I was the body. Between takes I lay on that floor for eleven hours and I have never felt so seen.

  14. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorEleven hours.

  15. Zebediah CrandallThey kept finding other angles. I'm told I have a very discoverable face.

  16. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLightning round. Favorite NCIS snack, one word.

  17. Zebediah CrandallCraft services. Specifically the cold cuts, which I ate lying down.

  18. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBest way to settle a cast feud?

  19. Zebediah CrandallA long lunch, with a seating chart. I'd sit between them, silent and horizontal.

  20. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorChip said much the same earlier about fixing a feud over a long lunch. I'd want that seating chart framed.

  21. Zebediah CrandallVera, I'd love to be in the reunion. I could be the body they find in the very first scene.

  22. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe body is the one role that never gets reunited with anyone. Lighthouse Lawyer is out now, and good luck with the tide.

  23. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorGloria, the world has been busy, and I suspect none of it involves a lighthouse.
