‘Lost’ Adds Five New Characters
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Lost

The last time the producers of Lost tried to introduce two new characters (remember Nikki and Paolo?), audiences hated them so much they were promptly killed off. So with hesitance I say that five new players are being brought on this upcoming season. Of course, we don’t necessarily know their roles or how long they will stay. Maybe they will pull a Bai Ling and exit quickly.
Entertainment Weekly exclusively reports that these actors include Jeff Fahey (Lawnmower Man, Grindhouse), Jeremy Davies (a.k.a the skinny guy in Saving Private Ryan), Lance Reddick (The Wire), Ken Leung (X-Men: The Last Stand) and Rebecca Mader (Justice). The show’s still got two more years to go—so I guess someone’s gonna to have to die. Any bets as to which one in this bunch will be the first? I’m gonna go for the skinny guy (Davies).
Reminder, Lost does not start until mid-season….so don’t be waiting for it in September.

Forest Whitaker, Busy Philipps Join ER
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FX, NBC, UPN, ER
Andre Bauer, who was unable to fulfill his commitment to the drama ER, has been replaced by Forest Whitaker. Whitaker will play a man who comes into the ER with a cough, but quickly faces a paralyzing stroke—his story arc will take place over five episodes. Whitaker continues to be busy with the FX series The Shield, returning for at least the first two episodes of the next season. Whitaker is most famous for his many film roles, including Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Platoon, The Crying Game and The Panic Room. He’ll make a great addition to ER, now entering it’s 25th season (seriously, how long has this show been on?!).
Busy Philipps will also join the cast of ER with a recurring role as an intern. You may remember Philipps from the short-lived, but well-regarded Freaks and Geeks. She was also seen last season on the UPN sitcom Love, Inc.
