DermotDermot Mulroney is what you would call a real working actor. He used to pop up once in a while in mostly decent films like “My Best Friend’s Wedding” and “Lovely and Amazing.” Then pretty much starting with “The Wedding Date” there was Mulroney mania. “The Wedding Date” was followed by a stint on "Friends", “Must Love Dogs” and then came “The Family Stone,” “Zodiac”(okay that was a quality film and not a rom-com) and finally to top it off this summer “Georgia Rule” (which is becoming known as the other thing Lindsay Lohan did this summer) and the upcoming “Gracie.” “Gracie” actually looks like a very uplifting, girl-power film about women in soccer in the 1970s but Mulroney seems an odd fit. First of all he isn’t a teenager and secondly all the other adults in the film are played by Shues (as in Elizabeth and Andrew of Melrose Place fame who btw I saw on the train in New Jersey once). The part of the feminist soccer player is played by Carly Schroeder who you may remember for her bit part on “Lizzie Maguire” and “General Hospital.” Well now she is already grown-up and extremely jacked. She looks like the love child of Dakota Fanning and Reese Witherspoon. Also, what the hell kind of name is Dermot?
