Jamie Kennedy Heading to Ghost Whisperer

From the Kickin' It Old Skool to Malibu's Most Wanted, Jamie Kennedy has kept us laughing for many years. While most think of Kennedy as a comedic actor, he has also taken on several serious roles over the course of his career. Coming to a small screen near you this fall, the versatile actor will take on an otherworldly role in the hit CBS series Ghost Whisperer.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kennedy will step into the role of Eli, a psychology grad student at the university. Sadly, Jay Mohr (Professor Rick Payne) is leaving the show to work on his new comedy, so Kennedy's character will fill in the void, adding a whole new element to the popular series.

Mohr's character will reportedly appear in the first couple of episodes to wrap-up his storyline this fall. Will Eli have more in common with Melinda than meets the eye? Stay tuned as another exciting season of Ghost Whisperer begins this fall.
