NCIS: NOLA
New staff writer Greta Heinemann did an interview with Script Magazine about her career, and here’s a quote about joining the New Orleans crew:
Staffing season came upon us and while the CBS program was teaching me some invaluable meeting and room skills, my folks at Madhouse worked their butts off to get my material in front of people and one of Robyn’s calls was to Jeffrey who happened to have a staff writer slot available and who agreed to read me. With Robyn and the program vouching for me, and my material not falling short, I then got to meet the guy who, no matter who you’ll ask, is literally one of the nicest guys in town and (despite the Facebook-stalking story) I must have somehow succeeded in convincing him that I am A) not crazy, B) a good person and C) valuable to his show – and then with the CBS Program backing me and the CBS executives on my side (which is an important piece of the puzzle that I was not aware of before going through this) this all came together.
