Exclusive: Brothers & Sisters Nabs a Lethal Weapon

Big casting news out of Brothers & Sisters.Danny Glover has been tapped to play Sally Field's new love interest in 8 to 10 episodes this season, sources confirm to me exclusively. His character is Senator McCallister's presidential-campaign manager, and is described as extremely smart and charming but also as a political shark. Unless I'm mistaken, this reps Glover's most significant prime-time series gig to date. He previously did four-episode arcs on Hill Street Blues and ER. The B&S stint marks a reunion of sorts for Glover and Field. The duo shared the screen in 1984's Places in the Heart, for which Field won an Oscar.A rather spectacular piece of casting, IMHO. You guys agree?
