Major Casting News
Thursday October 12, 2006
As the fall season marches on, several big names have been cast on some of the biggest series on television....
- Chad Lowe has joined the cast of Fox's 24 as politician Reed Pollack. Lowe joins Peter MacNicol, Regina King, James Cromwell, Kal Penn, Marisol Nichols, Alexander Siddig and Harry Lennix for season six of the intense drama, which is set to premiere on January 14.
- Rena Sofer will pull double duty this fall and winter. Sofer will play the wife of Adrian Pasdar's character on NBC's Heroes and then hops on over to the set of 24 to play the wife of Paul McCrane's character. Many people consider Sofer to be the Black Widow of television since several series in which she has appeared were promptly cancelled, but considering she has snagged roles on two of television's most popular series, it looks as if that streak has come to an end....we hope.
- Roswell alum Shiri Appleby has been tapped to star in the upcoming USA Network series To Love and Die in L.A. Appleby will portray a woman who goes in search of her father, only to discover he is an assassin, a career path she soon contemplates.
- The Who lead singer Roger Daltrey, whose music we hear as the opening theme for all three CSI series will appear in an intense episode of CSI later this fall.
- Film and former television star Kathy Najimy has joined the cast of the hit CBS series Numb3rs in a recurring role as the division chair of the physics, math and astronomy departments at Charlie's university.
