Directing Bones (with Greg Yaitanes)

What famous movie star auditioned for the role of Zack Addy? What was really in that Christmas present from Brennan’s parents? And who the hell is Crazy Dennis? Greg Yaitanes, the director of the Bones pilot, answers all this and more in this week’s episode of Boneheads. Greg, the Emmy award-winning director of House, Banshee, House of the Dragon, and Presumed Innocent, among others, tells Emily and Carla about casting Emily as Brennan, testing the pilot with audiences, and how the show went from “Brennan” to “Bones.” Plus, he shares behind-the-scenes stories from the other Bones episodes he directed, The Man in the Fallout Shelter and The Woman at the Airport.
