Kaitlin Olson's 'Sunny' Condition: Crazy Character Demanded
28 Jun
Summary
- Olson insisted her character be as wild as the male leads.
- She joined the show on the condition of playing a crazy character.
- Dee was initially meant to be the voice of reason on the show.
Kaitlin Olson, who portrays Dee Reynolds in 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,' famously demanded a change to her character before agreeing to join the cast.
Originally, Dee was conceived as the voice of reason among the chaotic male leads. However, Olson found this role unappealing and only accepted the part on the condition that Dee would be just as eccentric and unhinged as the other characters.
This crucial decision, made before the show's first season, significantly impacted the series' comedic direction. It allowed Olson to showcase her considerable talent for physical comedy, contributing to many memorable moments, despite the sometimes challenging nature of the role.
