Casting Scoops: 'True Blood,' 'Cold Case,' 'Numb3rs,' 'Burn Notice' and More!

Faheyevebrown_lWhat do a Lost grad, a rapper-turned-actress, the ex-fiancé of a discredited CIA agent, and Matthew Fox’s We Are Marshall co-star have in common? They’re all featured in this week’s holiday-themed edition of Casting Scoops!

Lost copter pilot Jeff Fahey has closed a deal to guest star in an early ’09 episode of CBS’ Cold Case. He’ll play the owner of a boutique motorcycle customization shop who has cleaned up from his early days as a biker.

Numb3rs is adding rapper-turned-actress Eve to the mix for a caper-esque episode that finds the “FBI chasing a very valuable pair of sneakers as they pass through one criminal after another,” explains exec producer Ken Sanzel. Eve plays a sales rep at a sneaker company and an early suspect.

• Actress Dina Meyer (Beverly Hills, 90210, Point Pleasant) has been cast as the former fiancé of Jeffrey Donovan’s Michael on Burn Notice. She’ll show up in the season 2 finale on March 5.

• More fresh blood! Wes Brown (We Are Marshall) is the latest addition to True Blood‘s season 2 ensemble. He’ll play Luke, a God-obsessed hunk that bonds with Jason (Ryan Kwanten) at a church camp, in at least six episodes.

    “a God-obsessed hunk that bonds with Jason” at church camp?
    I smell a bromance.

    Jason + Luke + Repression + HBO = Hot Gay Sex.

  • Smoochie

    I really like True Blood but some of these guys look too much alike. Less scruffy whilte boys, more Lafayette (I do not believe he is dead).

    emma: from now on DON’T read casting… IT’s usually NEW CHARACTERS, hence SPOILERS!

    Michael you’re waaayyy behind on the Dina Meyer casting info. It’s been up on IMDB for about two months. But if you’ve got any other Burn Notice scoop, I’ll put some Snapple in your stocking for Christmas!

    Ryan Kwanten (aka “Vinnie”!!) is in True Blood. Wow. It never ceases to surprise me which Aussies end up in LA. And why do they always get much hotter once they make the move?

    the dude with the beard looks disturbingly like Charlie Manson

    geez. can Alan ruin True Blood anymore. someone give me a time machine so I can go back and get the rights to the books before he could. if only to keep such great and fun novels from being destroyed with this unneeded ‘artistry’. what’s ironic is that the books have the same quirky humor that made American Beauty and Six Feet Under work and had he stuck with that, the series would be fantastic. but instead we get basically bad porn

  • Mcfly

    I think Alan Ball is doing an awesome job with this show. I also read the books. Really looking forward to the next season. I like the, as Lucas calls it, “bad porn” aspect of it. I got news for you man. If you call this bad porn, you ain’t seen bad porn. May I suggest some titles, Lucas?
