Things TV Goodness Learned from Marc Blucas of USA Network’s Necessary Roughness

Actor: Marc Blucas
TV Series: USA Network’s Necessary Roughness
TV Character: Matt Donnelly
Where You’ve Seen Him Before: He was, most famously, Riley on Buffy the Vampire Slayer; he’s done guest star spots on Lie to Me, House and Castle; he was the original David Clarke on ABC’s Revenge, but was already committed to Necessary Roughness. That’s when James Tupper replaced him as Amanda/Emily’s doomed dad.

Warning Spoilers for Season 2 Discussed

After what feels like forever, Necessary Roughness is finally back on USA Network for another season of work and family dysfunction, psychological trauma, football fierceness, and most importantly, Dr. Dani drama. What’s sure to cause some of that drama in this second season has to be the good doctor’s relationship with Matt. These two are adorable and their reunion at the end of last year was sweet. But, there’s no way they’re going to escape this season without experiencing some sort of disturbance, right? In the premiere, Dani and Matt (Datt? Mani?) are keeping their relationship quiet from her kids. Yeah, like that’s going to go well.

Guest Star Goodness: Person of Interest “Risk”

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: I love it when there’s a role reversal on this show. Not only does Finch have to be out in the field in “Risk,” but Reese has to infiltrate the world of high finance - someplace he’s clearly not comfortable. I also like it when the guys have to call on Carter to get them a piece of the puzzle they can’t obtain on their own. The only other person I would’ve liked to see in this episode is Fusco. I really do love that he’s a part of this team and I miss him when he’s not around.
