The addition of John Leguizamo is one of a number of changes being made in an effort to breathe some new life into “ER,” which in its 12th season is trying to recapture its glory days when Noah Wyle, George Clooney, Julianne Margulies and Anthony Edwards starred.
Kristen Johnston (left), from “3rd Rock From the Sun,” recently joined the cast as the new chief of nurses. John Stamos (right), who was going to join “ER” until his “Jake In Progress” got a surprising renewal, will guest star in a role that is designed to let him become a regular should the comedy be canceled.
