30 Rock Rookies Are Kept Away From A-Listers, Says Actor

November 3rd, 2008

No show gets bigger guest stars than 30 Rock right now. So it’s got to be pretty exciting for the cast members to have a new A-Lister breezing onto their set every week, right?

Well, not for all of them, apparently.

When OK! saw hilarious rookie actor Lonny Ross, who plays the goofy comic Josh Girard, at the premiere of Soul Men in New York, we wanted to know what it was like working with stars like Jennifer Aniston.

"She’s a sitcom veteran," said Lonny, "so she gets the [long] hours and how much work goes into a show like that. It’s great when you get to work with someone like that," he said.

Cool! So you got to do some scenes with her?

"No," said Lonny. But added, "I heard she was great."

How about Oprah then? Any scenes with her?

"No.

"They keep us away," he confessed, referring to the novice stars, like Lonny, Keith Powell, aka Toofer, and Katrina Bowden, who plays Cerie.

"They don’t want us bothering her."

So were there any guests at all you were excited about this season?

"Yes – Steve Martin," he beamed. "I mean, Steve Martin – that’s the best there is.

"Another guy I didn’t get to meet."

Oprah To Be On 30 Rock?

June 6th, 2008

Keith Powell, who plays Toofer on NBC’s much loved comedy 30 Rock, is keeping his fingers crossed that talk show powerhouse Oprah Winfrey will make an appearance next season.

"That’s the rumor," He told OK! at Bravo’s A-List Awards. "Last I heard, NBC was really, really trying to make it happen. I don’t know if it will happen yet or not."

But fans of the show aren’t the only ones excited by the prospect of Oprah’s big 30 Rock debut. "There are very few people in the world that if I meet I would hyperventilate over and that would be her," Keith confessed.

With a slew of famous faces having stopped by in the past, we wondered if Ms. Winfrey would play herself or some kooky character. "She’d have to play herself," Keith added, "I think we’ve talked about her so much she’d have play herself and then you’d have to watch me loose all bowel movements."

OK! even had a story line on hand for them — Oprah should play Keith’s love interest. "Ah, please! Write a letter. I’ll tell you who to write the letter to- Tina Fey. You need to write her and give her that story line!"
