Casting spoilers for 24 from zap2it:
Jayne Atkinson, a two-time Tony Award nominee, and Tony winner Stephen Spinella are the two latest additions to the FOX series, which premieres Sunday, Jan. 15. They join a sizable list of newcomers to the show for season five, including Sean Astin ("The Lord of the Rings"), Jean Smart ("Frasier"), Connie Britton ("Spin City") and Peter Weller ("RoboCop").
The article has some plot spoilers.
If I'm remembering correctly, Spinella originated the role of Prior Walter in
Angels in America.
Some comments about the focus of future "Lost" eps...
Next episode "The 23rd Psalm" will be an Eko-centric ep
"The Hunting Party" will be Jack-centric
"Fire + Water" will be Charlie-centric
Oooh, I'm looking forward to that first episode. Is that going to be next week? I need to make sure my daughter's home for it.
I don't even know if this is news but Zap2it has an article about people who will be regulars in season 10 of SG1. (SG1 is almost as old as er and L&O.)
Lucy Lawless is guesting on VM!
Also, Badger (Mark Sheppard) is going to be on 24! I assume as a guest.
Perhaps as a finger-eating ghost in a weird cross-over with Medium.
Oh, or a cross-over with Supernatural.
Sheppard was great on
Medium.
VERY creepifying.
I know! I was happy that they reprised that character.
Hmmm, wonder if he and Jack will have a velvety-whisper-off?
