It was a bummer for actor Carsten Norgaard: Hollywood Reporter March 13 ‘‘Luck’: Danish Actor to Recur as Middleman in Season 2’
Carsten Norgaard will play Oleg, a powerful Russian businessman who negotiates a deal between Dustin Hoffman’s Ace Bernstein and Michael Gambon’s Michael Smythe.
Looks like that’s done.
With two episodes of Season 2 already finished I do wonder if HBO will air them along with the remaining 2 episodes of Season 1. As cited by another since HBO owns and produces the show its impossible that the show would continue filming but aired on another network.
DRF 3/15 “Santa Anita horsemen sad to see ‘Luck’ gone”
“Luck” was taken out of production on Wednesday, one day after a stable-area accident claimed the life of a horse used in the production. That turn of events angered both trainer Julio Canani and Hall of Famer Ron McAnally, who believed there was an overreaction on the part of animal rights activists to an incident that could have happened at a riding club or in the show-jumping ring.
McAnally said he had a racehorse in his care perish in the same manner two years ago.
“He just flipped over backwards. We had to put him down,” McAnally said.
“In this particular case,” McAnally added, “whoever is objecting is just wrong.”
Jone Bouman, a local representative of the AHA, on Thursday afternoon described the fatality rate on “Luck” as “unprecedented.”
“In the last five years, of all the things we monitor - and that includes films, episodic television, even commercials - there was only one other horse death in the 2,000 productions we monitored, before the three on ‘Luck’,” Bouman said.
According to Bouman, that death occurred on the film “3:10 to Yuma.” Bouman said there were no fatalities on the recent films “War Horse,” “Secretariat,” and "Seabiscuit.
