Will Thorne Staff WriterSimone Missick, the star of CBS legal drama “All Rise,” received a meat mallet in the mail during quarantine.Missick doesn’t eat meat; it was a prop that her character used in the place of a gavel during the show’s virtual finale, which was shot entirely in the actors’ homes.Other shows, including Apple TV Plus’ “Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet,” NBC’s “Parks and Recreation” and VH1’s “RuPaul’s Drag Race” have now shot remotely produced episodes too, and in each case, the actors or contestants had to not only improvise and roll with the punches to get the job done, but they also had to take on myriad jobs usually left to professional crew members.In addition to receiving props from production that she then had to keep.
