Casting rumours

Sad Professor

From DarkUFO:

One of my contacts at ABC has provided me with the following interesting casting news. This source has proved accurate in the past but he assures me this is legit. As I've not been able to verify this with my sources as of this time, I have to post this in the rumours section.

1) Negotiations with Harold Perrineau and Malcolm David Kelley are being made with Malcolm contract practically agreed and feelings are that agreement with Harold's people is very close.

2) Only one new actor will enter in the fixed cast, and the actor currently being sought for this role is Peter Stormare.

3) The producers have invited the actor Forest Whitaker to participate in two episodes at the start of the season.

Grain of salt but interesting. I really hope 2 is true. Stormare is brilliant.

Aha! He's going to be the narrator revealing it's all taking place in the Twilight Zone. I knew it!

As for Peter Stormare joining the cast - please, please, PLEASE let this be true! John Abruzzi is one of my all-time favourite tv characters, up there with Captain Sheridan, Siún Nic Gearailt and The Cheerleader.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Cool, who doesn't love Stormare. Easily one of the best Prison Break characters. I hope Perrineau does return, but that he'll be less of a whiny f**k and more like his Oz character, Augustus Hill.
Forest Whitaker scares the beejaysus out of me. I hope he plays a creepy/scary/evil character. I like being scared.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Siún Nic Gearailt - TV Character !
It's funny to think of Cinnlínte Nuachta as a fictional show.

Of course she's fictional - everyone knows that RTE make up the news as they go along. She is lurvely though.

Wonder if Stormare will play Jacob? He'd be ideal for the role.

Always liked Forest Whitaker and it'll be nice to see Stormare on t.v. again, all depends on how they use them.
