Roy from The Office
Last night’s K-Ville was, I hate to say it…touching. I almost had a tear in my eye at the end. Almost. Probably would have if I weren’t a robot.
I am not one much for a synopsis, which is rude of me, I admit. I will post a synopsis later this week, when I have nothing else or better to do. Today I want to talk about the guest star.
David Denman, otherwise known to me as Roy from The Office, did a great job on K-Ville last night. According to IMDB, he has done lots of other stuff, and guest roles, on shows like Grey’s Anatomy, ER and the movie, The Replacements; but as I watch none of those, he will always be Roy from The Office.

Aw, why did Pam break his heart? He’s so cute.
Although look at this, shot back in September. He is one of those guys that looks way better with a beard, am I right?

Roy, I mean David, played a father that lost both his wife and daughter in “the storm.” After finding out that his baby daughter survived by floating away in a tub, like “baby Moses,” he naturally wanted to get her back. Problem was that since no one could find Baby Melissa’s parents, and assumed they perished, Melissa was adopted by a plastic surgeon and his barren wife.
I kind of got lost in the plot for a bit as David’s character was abducted by a dog catcher, who did the abduction to keep seeing his own daughter, because the Social Worker Guy was in love with the Plastic Surgeon’s wife, and killed the Plastic Surgeon, to somehow get The Wife to fall for Social Worker Guy. Yeah, that’s what I thought, too.
Anyhoo, the overarching story of parents reunited with lost children was a nice plotline, despite the need to make it so confusing for me. Roy, argh, David, David, he’s David. David did a fine job as a desperate father who just wanted some semblance of his life back. That and his daughter. There was a really nice moment when they were reunited. I couldn’t help feeling badly for The Wife/Widow, since she not only lost her husband but also her daughter. But hey, that’s what you get for being barren. I’m kidding, of course.
To go along with the crime-based plot, Boulet was trying to connect with his daughter during this episode. It’s so nice when writers have to make it so obvious that there is a “theme” to an episode. Chris made a comment that Boulet’s daughter walks all over him, and if he isn’t careful, she’ll grow up to be a stripper.
Oh, I almost forgot. Glue Boy and Love Tap got some lines last night. More of them, please!!!! True, K-Ville will survive of the characters are engaging, but that doesn’t mean that the only characters are Boulet and Cobb.

[...] cannot find her name, but what a crappy actress. It’s too bad because I have heretofore been impressed with most of the actors brought in for this show. I really wanted her to get shot during that scene when the team went [...]

I was just wondering if anyone was able to locate the name of the song played while the father was reuniting with his daughter. please email me at paulinesmiles@gmail.com if you do find it. I’ve looked everywhere I can possibly think, typed in the lyrics to every search engine and come up with nothing.
Thanks.
