Jason Ritter Wants Tracker Crossover: 'Damsel in Distress'

0:00Jason Ritter from Matlock is pushing hard for a crossover spot on Tracker, with Justin Hartley. He's cool with playing the damsel in distress, getting rescued by Hartley's tough tracker character, Culture Shaw. Ritter's Julian could ditch the law firm and team up for some missing person's hunts. Matlock kicked off last September, starring Kathy Bates as a rich lawyer, posing as a broke widow to infiltrate a firm. Tracker has Hartley roaming as a reward-chasing survivalist solving cases, week after week on CBS Sundays, at 9 p.m. Eastern time. Ritter's co-star, Sky P. Marshall, ribs him non-stop about faking that rugged vibe on set. She says, he squins like a cowboy, but ain't cut out for it, predicting he'd be the first one snatched in a tracker episode. Ritter owns it fully, joking he'd mess up any mission and beg for backup. He admits he's perfect for roles needing a save, turning the tables on the usual hero setup. Word is, TV loves wild ideas like this, so fingers crossed for Ritter, squinting his way into Tracker Chaos next season.
