Casting About: Rob Lowe Joins Sisters Act
UPDATE ON ROB LOWE: Be sure to check out
Brothers & Sisters exec producer Jon Robin Baitz' brand-new
TVGuide.com blog entry regarding Lowe joining the cast.
As first spilled by the
Ausiello Report, former
West Winger
Rob Lowe is joining ABC's
Brothers & Sisters as a Republican senator and romantic interest for Calista Flockhart's Kitty (and no, that was not a euphemism). Lowe will appear in at least six episodes;
Mike has the details.... Per Reuters,
Alicia Witt (
Cybill) will star in
Blue Smoke, a Lifetime movie based on the
Nora Roberts best-seller about a female arson investigator haunted by a pyromaniac stalker.
Scott Bakula,
Talia "Adrian!!!" Shire (as Witt's mother) and Matthew Settle (
Brothers & Sisters) also star.... Relative newbies Rachel Specter (
Entourage), Brendan Miller (
Accepted), Anna Osceola, John Keefe (
The Practice), Christopher Todd (
The Sopranos) and Jocelin Donahue will populate the Comedy Central pilot
Not Another High School Show, which promises to skewer the likes of
The O.C. and
Dawson's Creek. Awesome.
