The Pilot Included Characters that Were Later Scrapped
In the original pilot of the series there were several characters who were ultimately cut out when the show was picked up by NBC. One of these characters was Will’s straight law partner Andy Felner. In the book “Will & Grace: Fabulously Uncensored,” author Jim Colucci weighed in that “after seeing the strength of their foursome in action, the producers knew that Andy and company were unnecessary.”
