Was a contender for Marion on Bates Motel


What the *beep* were the casting idiots thinking casting Rihanna?

I agree. I love Bates Motel, but when I found out that Rhianna was cast as Marion Crane I was disappointed. It's a show that has done well and has a large fan base, so I don't know if this was stunt casting for ratings, which they didn't need to do in the first place.

I would really like to have seen Jane in Bates Motel. I've been suggesting that casting since season one. I kept picturing Jane Levy, Jessica Lowndes and Scout Taylor Compton as Marion Crane. I also hoped to see Matthew Gray Gubler, Jerry Trainor, Timothy Olyphant and Josh Duhamel in the show. However, I have no problem at all with Rihanna playing Marion Crane. In fact, I'm anticipating it.

She would have been perfect.

Jane would have been a much better choice. Rihanna is a terrible actress.

Seeing Jane Levy alongside Olivia Cooke would have been great!
