Casting Odds and Ends

Just some things I'm trying to remember I've read the past few weeks-- nothing new here; sometimes I get behind...

I just read that Ray Stevenson has the lead role in the new Punisher War Zone film. I liked Thomas Jane well enough in the last Punisher movie, but anyone who saw Stevenson's work on Rome knows this new Punisher will be scary. I'm digging that casting.

In that same article I read, I found out that the talented-- and hot- Julie Benz is in it; as is Dominic West. Looks like Marvel Studios is really committed to putting the best talent they can get on the silver screen.

Michael Rapaport will play a government agent that will help out Michael and Linc on Prison Break. I really like Rapaport, and even though I'm not sure his style fits in with the show, I'm looking forward to it.

Jimmy Smits will be in most of Dexter Season 3's episodes this Fall.

Gary Cole is signed up to costar on ABC's Good Behavior pilot. I dig Gary Cole.

Tony Hale (Arrested Development's Buster) gets a recurring role on Chuck.

And my favorite casting news: Julie Bowen (Ed, Boston Legal) will be in the fourth season of Weeds as a single mother friend-- and eventual love interest-- for the 17-year old Silas. You just gotta love these MILF plotlines-- especially ones featuring someone as gorgeous as Bowen. (And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention how talented she is as an actress as well.)
