'30 Rock' scoop: Michael Sheen's Wesley Snipes will likely make a comeback!

30-rock-sheen-feyImage Credit: Ali Goldstein/NBCMichael Sheen isn’t ready to say goodbye to Wesley Snipes, his 30 Rock alter-ego, just yet. The Wales-born actor told EW exclusively on Thursday that there is “a very strong chance that he will make another appearance.”

“We have talked about it and we kept it open,” Sheen said while attending the 19th Annual BAFTA LA Britannia Awards in Los Angeles. “We’ve all enjoyed the character and I loved working with Tina. She’s quite brilliant and writes some of the best jokes to poke fun at Brits. But she’s currently romancing that damn Matt Damon character so I am on the sidelines for a while.”

In the meantime, Sheen said he’ll start donning the red contacts in December to play Aro Volturi in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. parts 1 and 2. “I don’t know if they are going to shoot them simultaneously or not. They may do all the Volturi parts in one swoop,” he told EW. “I think that makes financial sense because it is such a huge task to get it all up and running and coordinate this huge cast, especially as they have all got quite full dance cards.” – With reporting from Carrie Bell

    I really hope Liz and Carol stay together, but Wesley Snipes needs to come back!!!!! Michael Sheen was robbed of an Emmy nom for best guest actor!!!!!!!

  • gah

    While I love how Carol and Liz are sooo meant to be – and Carol is as hot as Matt Damon – I want more Wesley Snipes!

  • Mia

    Big fan of Michael Sheen and LOVED him on 30 Rock. So glad that “Wesly” will be returning this season.

  • Mark

    Matt Damon is great as Carol. However, Michael Sheen as Wesley Snipes just rules. Especially since him and Liz ere supposed to be “soul mates” yet they are so different it’s hilarious. NERDS!

    • Kerry

      “Settling Soulmates” hahahaha

  • amie

    Yes! I, like Liz both love and hate him, mostly hate :P Awesome news!

    This has been the best season of 30 Rock in years, and bringing Wesley back would make it even better!

  • G.R.

    “There’s only one Wesley Snipes!”
    “No. There isn’t.”
    Hehe… Michael was so funny and adorable on ’30 Rock,’ and I’d love to see him on there again.

  • Amanda

    This is just SO awesome!!! I love Wesley too and his love/hate relationship with Liz!!! Such a great character and Michael Sheen is so great too!!! I can’t wait for this!!!

  • Just Me
