Armchair Casting Director: 'Fringe'

Tags: , News

J.J. Abrams and his fellow Fringe cronies are adding a new, potentially recurring role. Here are the deets:

Rebecca: A 50 year-old never-married blond female. Far from being a spinster, she is beautiful, wealthy, and completely comfortable with who she is. She also has psychic abilities, which has been both a blessing and a curse. Debuts in episode 4.

Got casting suggestions? Post ‘em below. I’m thinking Gail O’Grady or Virginia Madsen.

    Gail O’Grady would be perfect.

    I think that Melanie Griffith would be terrific in this role! She’s doing a turn on Nip/Tuck but I think it would be great to see her in this role – nobody can play “eccentric” like Melanie Griffith – think Something Wild!!

    Ack, Virginia Madsen is approaching 50… but she’s still very gorgeous – so that would be great (assuming they don’t kill the character)

    Katie Segal playing a “Peggy Bundy-esque” gal. I can see the fireworks between her and Walter Bishop already. Awesome.
