Actress Shannon Rogers Guess, charged with sending ricin-laced letters, finally earned the attention of Hollywood producers — when they took to Twitter yesterday to slam her as a showbiz nobody.
Producers for “The Walking Dead” and “The Vampire Diaries” — two programs on which Rogers Guess appeared in nonspeaking roles — said they struggled to remember her.
“Some actress from [“The Walking Dead”] sent ricin letters to the Prez? Never heard of her. Anyone know what role she played?,” tweeted Glen Mazzara, who produces the AMC zombie drama.
And “The Vampire Diaries” producer Julie Plec was equally unimpressed.
“If she played an equivalent part to one she supposedly played on [“The Vampire Diaries”], she was third background from the right. Or something,” Plec wrote.
Guess was charged Thursday with sending ricin letters to President Obama and Mayor Bloomberg. Feds say they found ricin-making materials in her home and a letter to Obama on her computer hard drive with the file name MuslimBastard.docx.
The actress confessed to mailing the envelopes, claiming her Army-vet husband, Nathaniel Richardson, had typed the bizarre gun-boosting letters and forced her to post them, court documents state — though he has not been charged.
