They also discussed the cast member they coaxed out of retirement, the addition of James Purefoy as Monk’s latest nemesis, and their favorite callbacks to the TV series.Andy Breckman: I did write a script or even two scripts that for various reasons, never went forward — budget reasons or schedule reasons.
