Where’s this guy been hiding? Joss Whedon is looking for an actor in his 30s or 40s to play…
Howard Lipman: An intelligent higher-up in the Dollhouse, Howard has huge presence and humor. Possible recurring.
ACD recommends: James Marsters.
Got a casting tip of your own? Let’s hear it!
YES! We would love fellow BTVS and Angel alum, James Marsters
Yes, yes, yes! I would love to see James Marsters on Dollhouse. My Whedonverse is large enough already thank you!
Perhaps out of the age range for this, but they have to find something for Anthony Head.
Anthony Head is doing Merlin in the UK right now, so if they need him immediately I think he’s too busy.
I loved Merlin, but it looks like it’s only one season. Are there going to be more? I can’t tell from the IMDB listing. I’d love him in this role. James Marsters would be great too.
Hasn’t Caprica already stolen him? I’m all for it, but he may be busy… But, then again, who’s too busy for Joss Whedon?
Would love to see James Marsters do it. What about Lee Pace? Or
someone not a Hollywood ‘insider’, like Chris Leavins?
I would probably cry if my Spike showed up on Dollhouse. And when I say cry, I mean “jump up and down and scream while freaking out my dogs and my boyfriend”. But just saying “cry” seems easier.
LMAO Ditto Mary!!!
That’s FUNNY!!!
Mike, bit your tongue. While I grant you James Marsters would be a great addition to ANY existing cast, attaching him to Dollhouse might tank his career entirely. Said show is the proverbial turd in the punchbowl of television. Now had you said give him a show of his own as the lead, THAT would’ve been on track.
Did you see the whole season?! Started off slow which is standard for JW but ended with a bang. Can’t wait for it to come back.
Oh please, please, PUWEEZE! James Marsters FTW.
Christopher Eccleston or David Tennant…Whedonverse meets the Whoverse
That was my first thought too! How amazing would either of them be on this show? Or what about John Simm?
JOHN SIMM would be amazing! He really is incredible, and sounds perfect for this role.
The Whoverse already met the Whedonverse: Capt. John Hart, remember?
damn i’d for him to come back to Torchwood too. Just give me some James Marsters on my TV and I’m a happy girl
Oh yeah, that’s right! Well, it’s about time that it went the other way right? Eccelston would be brilliant.
I’d love Marsters too, but Whedonverse has crossed to BSG-verse–Caprica has him. Though BSG has had a big role in Whedonverse lately too…
John Barrowman!
What a yummy idea!!! I’d vote for Tennant.
Spiky back in Whedonverse? Sign me up!
Sorry, an intelligent higher-up with huge presence and humor doesn’t scream James Marsters to me. Not that I have any better suggestions, of course.
Did you ever actually see him as Spike because he played humor beautiful Something Blue anyone.
Humor was pretty much all Spike *was* for a while there until they fleshed the character out. And there aren’t that many more actors in Whedonverse with a bigger presence (both senses).
Who wouldn’t want Blondie Bear back in the Whedonverse?
You and many readers keep recommending the same people over and over and over–and almost all the people you recommend are from one of 5 or 6 shows you’re obsessed with.
so what’s your suggestion then?
Aww… Andy Hallett would have been great for that.
Too bad he died.
Ron Glass (Shepherd Book of Firefly/Serenity) would also be excellent.
