Rosemarie DeWitt Leaves The Newsroom
That's unfortunate.

Mad Men and Rachel Getting Married actress Rosemarie DeWitt joined The Newsroom's second season along with Patton Oswalt last fall. Alas, that's not actually happening. DeWitt, after filming a few scenes, had to depart the HBO series when production shifted schedule. She was set to play Rebecca Halliday, a lawyer defending Will McAvoy's Atlantis Cable News channel in a big wrongful-termination lawsuit. The role's being recast.
