On Monday afternoon I had the opportunity to check back in with James Roday of USA's "Psych" (you can check out the original interview here), and this time he was joined by legendary actress Ally Sheedy (who was, of course, part of "The Breakfast Club"). Sheedy is back to portray serial killer Mr. Yang in the season finale (you can read a spoiler-free advance review here), and she was also part of the John Hughes tribute during the 2010 Oscars Sunday night.
My time, though, was limited mainly to "Psych"-related questions. My first inquiry had to deal directly with a personal quest Roday told me about earlier this year -- getting David Bowie on the show. When asked about a potential future appearance by the once-Goblin King, Roday had this to say:
"It's a long shot man...he's always in some exotic place and he's tough to track down. I feel like our best shot was probably back on [season two episode] 'American Duos' when Landis who is friends with him reached out and tried to make it happen.
"We're going to keep trying, but I have to be realistic -- and I want you all to be realistic with me -- there is a less than 30% chance that it will happen."
I then turned my attention over to Sheedy, who James openly admits being in awe of during their entire time shooting. (After all, "Mr. Yin Presents..." combines two of his favorite things: John Hughes movies and Alfred Hitchcock).
My question for her was admittedly silly: "if you could hire on actor from 'The Breakfast Club' to take down as Mr. Yang, who would it be?" After a few seconds of laughter Sheedy finally conceded by saying "I don't know if I can answer this!" However (with the help of Roday), we came up with a reasonable solution: since Judd Nelson appeared on "Psych" earlier this season, we decided that they would just bring back his character and have Mr. Yang kill him off.
All in all, the two were friendly and relaxed as the talked about the end to the show's fourth season. There is some good stuff coming down the road, but we will just have to keep watching to see what happens.
Are you looking forward to the "Psych" finale? Let me know your thoughts with a comment and stay tuned for more news.
