fembuckFinally some Dollhouse casting news! Whoo are the pretty, pretty people that will be joining The Dushku?
Tahmoh Penikett as Paul *woot* I loveHelo Tahmoh!
Tahmoh is great. He is a giant, handsome man shaped ball of awesome. It'll be great to see him get to spread his wings a bit. BSG has never had enough Helo (Yeah, I'm like one of ten people that was Team Shirtless Helo instead of Team Shirtless Apollo).
They should have just gone ahead and cast Grace Park as Sierra. The more I see of Grace Park, the more I love her. She's funny. And after her delivery of "What else are you going to do? Read a book?" on Letterman during the Top Ten Reasons to Watch the Last Season of Battlestar Galactica, was flipping awesome. I was cracking up like I was Tricia Helfer after she delivered it.
*mourns the idea of Grace or Maggie Q ... picks self up and moves on*
Next is Dichen Lachman as Sierra
Never seen her in anything. She certainly looks bombshell-y. My only note is that I vote for dark hair! From the script sides, she should have a lot of fun with the role of Sierra. Looking forward to seeing her in action.
Enver Gjokaj as Victor
He's the one in the T-Shirt ;)
This is another one I've never heard of/seen in anything. Which is actually pretty typical for Joss shows. He's tall and dark which is pretty much how I pictured Victor. Enver must also be able to do a pretty good British accent, which is also fun, and a selling point, lol. Can't really say anything else. Looking forward to seeing him in action.
And finally we have Fran Kranz as Topher
This is the only one I'm not thrilled about. I didn't really love this guy in The TV Set and I found him really brutal, and not funny on Welcome to the Captain, but then again I think brutal and not funny was pretty much just Welcome to the Captain in general. I just found his style a bit ... um, broad shall we say in both projects (though, in his defense I think he supposed to play it that way in The TV Set).
Now, I'm really looking forward to seeing who they cast as Adelle and Claire. Hopefully I won't have to wait in suspense for too long!

Date: 2008-03-28 11:56 am (UTC)That would probably be a really good idea. I mean, I'm sure there are plus size actresses in the states, I see them in guest staring roles on U.S. TV, they just never get the spotlight for anyone to know who they are.
oh and as for beautiful older women - if House wasn't so popular i'd totally go for Lisa Edelstein
Cuddy! We know she can play a lady in charge! Lisa's got a good gig, though ... I don't think she'll cry herself to sleep counting the millions of viewers and dozens of Golden Globe noms her show gets ;)
There are so many beautiful women in the age range they're looking for for Adelle and Claire that it's hard to choose a favorite. Though, I just saw The Bank Job last night, and now I want Saffron Burrows on my television set every week. She is perfection (and not above doing U.S. television).
Polly ... Saffron ... Polly ... Saffron ... Polly ... ahhhh, you're tearing me apart!
Seriously, I need casting on Adelle and Claire ASAP.
