'Oz' Vet Gets 'Lost
Remember back in the pilot of "Lost" when the survivors of the plane wreck thought they were the only people on a scary island?
Little did they know that their deserted abode had a higher population than Manhattan.
Former "Oz" co-star Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is the latest actor to be found on "Lost."
According to the good folks at ABC, Adewale will play Emeka, "a mysterious man whose presence on the island -- and intentions -- will be revealed in one of the early episodes in the upcoming second season."
Other new additions to the "Lost" cast for its second season include Michelle Rodriguez.EDITOR'S NOTE: I THINK SHE WAS THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT IN THE SEASON ONE FINALE. (THE ONE FLIRTING WITH JACK?)
Adewale spent several seasons on HBO's "Oz" playing murderous drug addict Simon Adebisi. He was nominated for two NAACP Image Awards for the role. Adewale's other credits include the features "Congo," "The Mummy Returns" and "The Bourne Identity."
Bouchez Caught in ALIAS Spy Net
EDITOR'S NOTE: NOT EXACTLY PRETTY, BUT DEFINTELY APPEALING IN A VERY FRENCH SORT OF WAY.
ABC has signed Elodie Bouchez to join the cast of ALIAS as a regular on the series. "Bouchez will play Zoe Rienne, an internationally wanted criminal who, unbeknownst to Sydney, has been secretly working with Vaughn for several years." EDITOR'S NOTE: THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE US HATE VAUGHN SO THAT WHEN VARTAN JUMPS SHIP WE WON'T CARE?
The show will begin its fifth season on September 29th.
Another Superman joining Smallville?
Sounds like it's the mission of "Smallville" to squeeze as many members of the age-old Superman family legacy into the series before it's inevitably grounded? EDITOR'S NOTE: AND IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS?
Hot on the heels of the late Christopher Reeve's appearance on the series, comes news from TV Guide that another chap that has worn the tights, former "Lois and Clark" star Dean Cain, might be popping up in Kansas.
"There's a 75 percent chance the onetime Man of Steel will pop up on Smallville this fall as — what else? — a love interest for Lois Lane", says the site.
Reports say Cain will be playing some sort of prince who sweeps Erica Durance's Lois off her feet. EDITOR'S NOTE: ON THE ONE HAND, HE'S A BIT OLD FOR HER. ON THE OTHER HAND, JUST ABOUT ALL THE CAST IS A BIT OLD FOR THEIR ROLES AT THIS POINT. (BUT THEY'RE ALL SO DURNED ATTRACTIVE, WHO CARES!!!?)
The WB are keen to sign him on for a three-episode stint, with his first episode likely to air in November.
Cain starred as the Man of Steel on "Lois and Clark : The New Adventures of Superman" from 1993-1997. Since then he's appeared in several films and series, including "Best Men", "Futuresport", "Rat Race" and recently, TV's "Las Vegas".
Some of the other "Superman" fan-faves that have appeared in the series include Terence Stamp ["Superman II"], Margot Kiddier ["Superman 1-4"], and Annette O'Toole ["Superman III"] who plays Martha Kent.
CSI's Ferlito to Wave Good-bye to NEW YORK
CSIFiles.com is reporting that series regular Vanessa Ferlito will be leaving CSI: NEW YORK in the second episode of the new season.
In the season premiere, Ferlito's character agrees to help out a woman, who 18 months earlier didn't dare testify after being raped. As a result, the attacker was acquitted, only to now end up raping the same woman again. Ferlito's character knows it will be next to impossible to convict a man who's already been cleared by the courts once, but still vows to find some way to help the woman and put this monster behind bars. Her obsession with the case will apparently prove to be her downfall. EDITOR'S NOTE: I HAD READ THAT THE CSI-NY PRODUCERS WERE LOOKING TO 'SHAKE THINGS UP' AND DO SOME RE-CASTING. THE ARTICLE IMPLIED THAT THE CAST MEMBER BEING REPLACED WAS SOMEONE THE PRODUCERS DIDN'T LIKE. SAD THAT THIS IS FERLITO, SINCE I KINDA LIKED HER. NOT A BARBIE, BUT INTERESTING. (IMHO, THEY'D DO BETTER TO CHANGE OUT A COUPLE OF THE TOTALLY FORGETTABLE AND COMPLETELY BLAND YOUNGER GUYS ON THE SHOW).
