MFU 30-Day Meme: Day 8

Day 08 – Least favorite member of UNCLE: Lisa Rogers

This gal had all the nuanced personality of an automaton. If I was Waverly, I would have been suspicious that one of those she-bots from DO-IT-YOURSELF-DREADFUL had been infilitrated by Thrush into the personnel of U.N.C.L.E. [chuckle]

I realize the role was created specifically because Leo G. was, by that time, having a lot of difficulty with memorizing lines, especially the kind of detailed exposition usually reserved for his character. However, so many other actresses that had played various U.N.C.L.E. support personnel during the course of the series brought a more interesting take to those roles than this gal did to hers.

And even though I know the actress was a former beauty queen, I don't think she was as pretty as many of the other gals the series regularly showcased. So I don't see her as possessing even that minor edge.

My preference for Waverly's permanent assistant would have been Sarah Johnson. However, I understand by Season 4 that the actress who played her likely wouldn't have been available. So my second choice would have been Heather McNabb. Why the producers thought they needed to create an entirely new character for the role, especially since there really wasn't any character at all to this babe, is beyond me.
