Lisa Rinna‘s iconic cameo on Running Point left an impression on her costars.
Drew Tarver, who shared scenes with Rinna, exclusively spoke with Us Weekly about their scenes, saying, “Oh, my God. She was so funny. Her screaming at me — it was very fun.”
Tarver praised Rinna for her ability to play an elevated version of herself, adding, “She’s really good at it. And I was scared.”
The hit Netflix series, which premiered in 2025, follows Kate Hudson as a reformed party girl who gets the chance to prove herself when she is left in charge of her family’s pro basketball team.
In addition to Hudson, Running Point stars Scott MacArthur, Fabrizio Guido, Chet Hanks, Toby Sandeman, Justin Theroux, Tarver, Brenda Song and Uche Agada. The sports comedy has also prided itself on its star-studded cameos.
While speaking to Us ahead of season 2, several cast members showed support for a potential appearance from Hudson’s stepfather, Kurt Russell. Us suggested Russell play the late Gordon patriarch back in April 2026, which the cast happily cosigned.
MacArthur, who plays Ness, joked that he “always thought” of Russell as his dad anyway, adding, “So I’m all in.” Guido, who portrays Gordon family newcomer Jackie, said he would also love to share the screen with Russell.
“I’ve been around, and I didn’t even think of that. Wow!” he noted, while season 2 guest star Ken Marino added in his own interview with Us, “That’d be fantastic! Yes, that’s perfect. Get that out there!”
Executive producer Jeanie Buss was just as thrilled at the possibilities.
“Oh, that would be amazing. Are you kidding me? Like, that’s a good idea!” Buss noted. “I totally support that.”
The pitch also got the stamp of approval from executive producer David Stassen, who hinted that there have been discussions.
“That’s a great idea,” Stassen said. “And it’s been balled about. We’ve talked about it. If we ever do see him, we could not do better than Kurt Russell.”
Running Point is streaming on Netflix now.
