Both movies were written by Richard Curtis, a co-founder of the Comic Relief-spawned fund- raising effort to benefit children in need around the world. For the "Four Weddings" follow-up — already shown in England and airing during NBC's fifth annual Red Nose Day special Thursday, May 23 — he re- gathered many of the original cast members including central stars Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell plus the 1994 film's director, Mike Newell, to tell the story of another wedding the characters attend. Titled "One Red Nose Day and a Wedding," the short sub- ject seemed a natural to Curtis after the positive response to his revisiting of "Love Actually," which he says "caused the ques- tion to be asked just around my house, as it were: 'Is there any- thing else that we can do?' The 'Love Actually' one was easier, because I could just move on with all those people and it only required a fragment of story. "With this one, it was really only one story (initially), and I wasn't sure I just wanted to hang around with Andie and Hugh in their kitchen. Then it came to me that it's another genera- tion and it's been 25 years, so it would be time for another wed- ding. The moment I decided I could do that, it became fun." That's also how MacDowell found it to reprise the part of Carrie, the American love inter- est of severely smitten English- man Charles (Grant). "I was just excited to get to see everybody, and for such a positive cause," the actress reflects. "To help those in need and also to all be together, it's a beautiful idea. I was aware of Red Nose Day and the amazing work (those behind the event) have been able to do. They've raised so much money." Kristin Scott Thomas, John Hannah and Rowan Atkinson are among other "Four Wed- dings" returnees. "Everybody showed up," marvels MacDow- ell, who also appears ("briefly," she notes) in a forthcoming Hulu series the movie has inspired. "It was amazing." However, two key cast members are absent from the Red Nose Day reprise: Simon Callow, alias "Gareth," for a reason anyone familiar with the film will know; and Charlotte Coleman, who played Charles' sister Scarlett and died in 2001. As fans of Curtis' movies might suspect, he's also planning a Red Nose Day return to "Notting Hill." He hopes that projected occasion will have a similar result as the "Four Weddings" reunion, which he describes as a group reliving "a defining experience. There was genuine warmth and genuine friendship and genuine delight." Celebrity Scoop Celebrity Scoop NBC's Red Nose Day revisits 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' Cover Story Cover Story By Jay Bobbin What already has been a "JAG" home- coming for David James Elliott is about to become even more of one. After starting a reprise of his former series role as Navy man Har- mon "Harm" Rabb Jr. on "NCIS: Los Angeles," the actor continues it by being alongside another "JAG" alum — Catherine Bell, back as Sarah "Mac" Mackenzie — in the current CBS adventure-drama's 10th-season finale Sunday, May 19. And it won't end there for Elliott: He'll carry his return as Harm into the first new episodes of "NCIS: Los Angeles" when it starts its 11th year this fall. Happy that his character has evolved into a superior officer aboard a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the friendly Elliott allows that he "would certainly be open to" a full-fledged "JAG" series revival, "especially in light of the fun time that I've had Checking in with David James Elliott doing this, and certainly if Scott (R. Scott Gemmill, another 'JAG' veteran who's now an 'NCIS: Los Angeles' executive producer) was in- volved. Hey, we'll put that out in the universe and see what happens." Elliott has done other series since "JAG" — including "GCB," "Secrets and Lies" and Netflix's now- running "Spinning Out" — but he confirms the role of Harm has re - mained his principal calling card. "It was a 10-year run," he reflects, "so that's a lot of episodes and a long time, and a lot of people really dedicated themselves to the show and the character. Ten years is a long time to dance in one arena, so it also was fun to go out and have new experiences and chase different things. I've done some comedy and I had the chance to play some darker characters, so I got to stretch my legs and that was fun."
