Pushing Daisies

In an interview with After Elton, Bryan Fuller has disclosed the coroner is gay…and has his eye on Emerson.

“We were going to slowly expand his character and kind of reveal that he has a little crush on Emerson”

No wonder he’s into moisturizers and stuff!

A scene from The Fun In The Funeral:

Coroner: I can write a book on hand moisturizer. Nobody wants the last thing they been touched with to be ashy and dry. Take a gander. (Extends his hand for Emerson to touch)
Emerson: Smooth.
Coroner: You got some serious cracks going on there. Put those down here. (puts moisturizer on Emerson’s palm)

I did not pick up on this one! I’ve always thought everyone should moisturize — man or woman! Hah.

The coroner has no name in the series as of yet, but the actor playing him is none other than Sy Richardson, who is credited for thousands of movie and production work. Some even winning recognition. He also coaches actors and directors and has a good singing voice, too…one pretty accomplished person, I should say. Read his credentials on IMDb.
