Neil Patrick Harris Calls Eric Braeden a D-Bag on Twitter
"Eric Braeden is a D-Bag. the actor, (Robin's dad) agreed to a cameo, then last night bailed, saying the part wasn't 'substantial' enough," Harris tweeted. "We've recast with Ray Wise, a fantastic actor who makes any part 'substantial'. Super excited to welcome him to the family!"
Eric Braeden played Robin's father on a 2008 episode of the show and was supposed to reprise his role in an upcoming episode.
Braeden is the long-running star of "The Young and the Restless" which airs on CBS and was recently renewed for three years.

Post a CommentHarris is right. Everyone knows there is no such thing as a small part, only small actors.
Hmmmmm, I agree with Nancy, how old?? :o)
I think Eric Breaden has a right to pick and choose whatever part he wants to play. He should be allowed to change his mind without the name calling. After all, he is a distingquished actor and well liked. You go Eric. Your fan.
Funny stuff.
How OLD are these people?
I can't even remember what Robin's dad looks like, so I guess I won't notice the change in actors.
Why would he accept the part if he thought it wasn't substantial enough?
name calling....always something
awesome ♥ always good to remember that we have a choice in what we do :)
Imagine that! cheers
