Stanley Tucci Taking Over The ER For Visnjic

TV Guide Online reported that Stanley Tucci has signed on for a multi-episode ER arc starting later this season and carrying over into next. The acclaimed actor will be playing Kevin Moretti, “a brilliant ICU turned ER chief,” so expect some changes at County General – big ones. The shake-up starts May 10.

We reported that Goran Visnjic was leaving the ER after this season. Is this NBC’s way of filling the void left after Dr. Kovac leaves? Do think Stanley Tucci can provide the spark ER will need after losing another major player?
