musician harry connick jr., was cast in the role of leo. he received a call from co-creators kohan and max mutchnick asking him to appear on "will & grace", and agreed to do it after learning that it was his wife's favorite show. according to debra messing, who plays grace, kohan and mutchnick had a specific vision of grace's husband from the start. they thought it was important that grace meet a "menschy, nice jewish man who happens to be a hottie, and that's what we got with harry connick jr," she said. according to "the nation" magazine, this was the first time that a prime-time sitcom showed a jewish protagonist (grace) marrying inside the faith. connick, who is part-jewish, said he enjoyed the fact that he was not asked to sing on the show, because "it throws you out of character a little bit when that stuff happens. it's been great just doing the acting thing." messing, in discussing grace and leo's relationship, commented that it is "unlike anything that grace has ever been a part of before and just the little that we've done so far, it feels wonderful to be playing with harry." in another interview, also discussing the characters' relationship, she explained, "...bringing leo into it and making it a viable and potent relationship for grace, that's never happened before. i think she's a little less frenetic and neurotic, and i think that really being in love markedly changes grace. that sexual energy in a great way has shaken things up, because it is the greatest threat to the friendship of will and grace to date."
