Sarah Michelle Gellar

Tassler on how "Ringer" went to The CW: "I can only speak from my point of view. I don’t how what happened behind the scenes at The CW but I know for us we were really excited about developing the show. It was a spec script that we got our hands on. We thought it was a very unique concept. We were really excited about Sarah Michelle Gellar. And it could have been on our schedule. I mean, like I said, we had no more time periods. And it tested well, it screened well, people really liked it... and Sarah Michelle Gellar is a force to be reckoned with. I mean she’s got a huge fanbase. I kid you not, when we bought the script the e-mails started coming in: pick it up. I’m like, we just bought it."
