The Actors Playing Jim Willis


Does anybody know why Jason Bernard is replaced by Ed Bernard after two episodes? Are the two actors related?

reply

I think it was only the pilot, and no, from what I've read they are not related. Not sure why Jason Bernard left.

reply

Ed looked more believable as a college roommate of Ken's. Jason looked too old for that part. i think I heard somewhere that Jason caused problems on the set. What I want to know is why Ed was gone in the last season. The sister and brother in law were also not there in season 3. Perhaps there were budget reasons.
