Private Practice Gives Segal Granddaddy of a Role

George Segal by Eric Charbonneau/WireImage.com
Academy Award-nominated actor George Segal (
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) will soon be visiting Oceanside Wellness - as a guest star on ABC's
Private Practice. Segal has been cast as the grandfather of receptionist/midwife William "Dell" Parker (played by Chris Lowell).
Segal's episode is currently in production, so even with the writers' strike,
Private Practice viewers should be seeing it this season. -
