Cobb Vanth first appeared in the Star Wars novels of the Aftermath trilogy and later made his on-screen debut in Season 2 of The Mandalorian, specifically the first episode, “Chapter 9: The Marshal.” Though initially thought to be a traditional Mandalorian, Vanth quickly became a fan favorite, leading to his return in The Book of Boba Fett.

Pierce Brosnan, known for playing James Bond, first appeared as the comic book character Doctor Fate in the 2022 film Black Adam.

So far this season on 9-1-1, many episodes have focused on characters grappling with loss and death, woven into the show’s usual emergency situations. We’ve seen big moments like Athena and Hen going to space, and Eddie mourning the loss of his grandmother.

George Clooney dislikes the movie Batman & Robin so much that he even jokes about it with his kids. He shared that his son once dressed up as Batman for Halloween, and when Clooney told him he was Batman in a movie, his son didn’t believe him. Clooney admitted the boy was right to be skeptical.

The audition piece was perfect for Whitaker. It involved a scene—later removed from the show—where Alani and Maia’s boyfriend, Dylan (Josh Hutcherson), disagreed about which bakery to order Maia’s birthday cake from. “He wanted Milk Bar, and I was all about Sweet Lady Jane,” Whitaker explained. “It instantly felt so authentically L.A. because my mom actually used a Sweet Lady Jane cake for my baby shower. I’d choose it over Milk Bar any day.”
