Mal ,'Serenity'
[NAFDA] The place for casting and other vague spoilers, for those who merely want to wade, not drown, in the spoiler sea. Episode titles, writers, and preview speculation in black font. Exiting cast, TV Guide and other entertainment articles and their discussion white-fonted. Hard core spoilers are not allowed.
It's CalSci, which is based on CalTech. That's where they film a lot of stuff and where their consultants are.
Random Factoid: The show was originally set in Boston, with Charlie working at MIT but, when they approached MIT, MIT said no. So they moved the show to L.A. and reshot the pilot.
The show is really grounded in LA. I like that. I haven't been calculating their drive times, or anything. But it feels like it's really here.
Craftsman houses never hurt with that.
So nice. Isn't it sad that people don't know that Craftsman houses exist? On the TWOP Numbers thread one of the producers said that one of the frequent comments she gets is that the Epps family must live in a hotel. Because these people can't believe that there are houses like that.
Alan Tudyk is going to be on c.s.i. on November 2nd.
Roger Daltrey will be guesting on c.s.i. this season. (Story at Zap2it. (Article does not spoil where, when or who.)
And sadly, Eddie Izzard will NOT be guesting on 24 this year. But Chad Lowe will. (Also from Zap2it - article spoils on who that actor will play but not where or when. Article is spoilery on plot-stuff for the next season of 24 .)
Oh and an article on Amber Benson's guest appearance on Supernatural (Tonight!!) - also at Zap2it - spoilery as to what, who, etc.

Exclusive: Buffy Alum Rushed to ER?
You know that male-nurse role that ER is currently casting as a love interest for Linda Cardellini? I just heard that one of the finalists used to be on that little vampire show that Joss Whedon did a few years back. And this particular actor was not a mere guest star; he was a series regular. Name and face in the opening credits and all. He's up against some stiff competition for the plum ER part though, including a (Easter egg alert!) popular acting titan. A winner is expected to emerge by week's end. As soon as I know, you'll know (give or take a few seconds).
Well, I'm gonna guess that it's not DB (unless there's something about BONES I haven't heard). So is it Nick, Seth, James or Marc? Kittens anyone?
I'm hoping that it's NB!
It's got to be NB or MB, I would think. Hoping for NB. Also-- do we have any idea who the "popular acting titan" is?
