The move is due to Parenthood star Maura Tierney's undisclosed medical ailment. While the studio wouldn't disclose more information, they released the following statement:
"The top priority for NBC, Universal Media Studios and Imagine Television is the well-being of Ms. Tierney. We are unable to release further details and ask that you respect her privacy at this time."
Parenthood was slotted for a September 23 premiere and was scheduled to air on Wednesday nights at 8 PM ET, and now the network is calling up one of its midseason series' early.
Mercy will now premiere in the fall, although it wasn't clear whether it would take Parenthood's exact slot, as they're reevaluating their fall lineup. Mercy cast and crew members have been called into production early to get the show ready for a fall premiere.

Syndicate, what movies, man? The only movie i remember this guy from is Poltergeist, lol, and i've never seen Poltergeist. Well, that's why i probably haven't seen him. I don't really watch those sh*tty CSI's. I've lost count to how many they are. Just like NBC with those Law and Orders. That was funny when you posted his date of birth.

That is Craig T Nelson, and he was never dead. After Coach he did other stuff, like appear in movies, but not as one of the main characters. He has also appear on episodes of TV series, the most recent one was last season on three episodes of CSI: NY, as the owenr of a newspaper company. Craig T Nelson born in 1944
