Exclusive: Bill O'Reilly to Guest Star on "Rizzoli & Isles"
May 6, 2011
by David Hochman

Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly is planning to guest star as himself — playing a "potential murder suspect" — on an episode of "Rizzoli & Isles" this coming season.

He and show creator Janet Tamaro have known each other ever since Tamaro's first TV job at "Inside Edition", where they worked together.

O'Reilly is also friendly with "Rizzoli" star Angie Harmon, an outspoken conservative.

The Fox anchor brought his daughter to set last year and toured the show's autopsy room.

"He took one look at the autopsy table and said, 'Yeah a lot of people would like to see me on that," Tamaro tells TV Guide Magazine. "I said, 'Well, how about you come back and do a guest spot.'"

O'Reilly is expected to film in July for an episode that will air at the end of summer.

Season Two of "Rizzoli & Isles" begins July 11.

Bill O'Reilly's "Rizzoli & Isles" Cameo (VIDEO)
8/11/11

Bill O'Reilly recently took a short break from "The O'Reilly Factor" to film his guest appearance on the TNT crime series "Rizzoli & Isles".

The Fox News host admitted that acting was more difficult than his usual gig as a pundit.

Speaking to "Entertainment Tonight" on set, O'Reilly said, "I'm used to just me and some pinhead guest and I'm pounding that person but now I've gotta be listening to the nuance of the lines."

He joked, "I could've done four 'Factors' in the time it takes to do one scene on this dopey program."

He revealed that he will play himself on the show, where he will appear opposite actresses Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander. He joked, "See nobody is as obnoxious as me. They couldn't find an actor to play me."

Harmon called O'Reilly's performance "fantastic," joking, "He's very very good at playing himself."

When asked how it was working with O'Reilly, Sasha Alexander joked, "It's just a regular Tea Party." Zing!

O'Reilly's guest appearance on "Rizzoli & Isles" was announced in May. He has known the show's creator Janet Tamaro since they worked together at "Inside Edition".
