This week the "The Mouse House" (ABC/Disney) is all about the red and the blue.
From news pertaining to studio heads, actors, producers, and writers, find out what sorts of waves Penn alumni are making this week!
6 Reasons Why ABC is Really Loving on Penn Alumni this week:
#1:
Continued speculation of Rich Ross (C'83) taking over as Studio Head for Disney (ABC related)
There were further talks this week of Disney even splitting up the role of studio chief. More HERE
FYI, Rich was a Penn in Pictures panelist back in 2003. Event photos HERE!

Robert Gant (C'90, Penn Six) played a drug mule (a bit different than his role as the Good Humor man HERE) on ABC's "Castle" premiere episode this week. Watch his scene below:
And tune in this Monday, 10pm when Robert appears on CBS' "CSI:Miami"
