Free Chris Messina.

Comparing to prior season credits, when he was around more. Not episode to episode this season.

Just re-watched the credits and yes, Chris Messina's screen time definitely has been reduced. There's also an episode coming up called "The Departed." Hmmmmm…..

Today, Don Lapre.  Tomorrow, Marshall Sylver.
