Bring Back Brian! You Can (and Should) Help

Mike Pfaff's debut as Brian, the man on a leash, on the sitcom Two Broke Girls garnered rave reviews from critics, and not just his roommmate Artie Gilkes!

  It featured one of the best visual gags the (sic) has ever done, where the ever optimistic Caroline decided to meet the neighbours. Armed with cupcakes, she knocks on the door while Max tries desperately to pull her back into the safety of their apartment and is greeted with a man on a leash. The best part about it was the anonymous someone tugging at the leash from within the apartment. It’s a weird, wacked out thing, something that you’d hear in those “my cousin’s sister’s friend’s cousin had a friend who said…” stories about New York’s underbelly, and it worked brilliantly.
Now it's our turn to help bring Brian back, to find out more about him!  Take the time to put your word in to the powers-that-be at CBS that the character deserves more screen time.  Here's how you can help: Mike writes...

I'm not sure yet when Brian will be back... it's up to the writer's actually. To be honest, you can help. CBS has a feedback link:

http://www.cbs.com/info/user_services/fb_global_form.php

and you can select "2 Broke Girls" from the drop down. If they get enough positive feedback on "the guy on the leash," chances of me coming back are increased. Sitcom is the biggest forum for listening, responding and writing based on live studio audience and on line feedback... if you can get it out there to as many people as you can that would be great!
Coach Groves would probably say  (I'm paraphrasing here!) "Close the damn window, visit the web site and bring Brian back!"



Here's more of Mike's recent acting.  He played Oliver Wendell Holmes in the Civil War mini-series Fields of Valor.  I never knew that one of America's favorite jurists was shot 4 separate times during the Civil War and yet lived to preside over the Supreme Court until the ripe age of 93. (* he retired from the Supreme court at age 90.)



You'll see Mike several times in this preview. When I have viewed the entire thing I'll be able to bring you his choicest scenes. And yours truly will be making his acting debut in Steve Black's "The Gravediggers" web-series. Don't fall off the edge of your seat just yet!
