Joss said it so it must be true!

Final casting news for Dollhouse, from Joss himself:
Dr. Claire Saunders - Amy Acker (Amy FREAKING Acker! WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!)
November - Miracle Laurie.


"Hi campers. We're having the read-through of the script today. Why would I be nervous? YOU'RE nervous! Anyhoo, I just couldn't resist letting you know that the recurring roles have actually been cast for some time now. I'm shocked that any part of our casting process hasn't been leaked somehow. And though I'm a fan of secrets, I'll give you the last two pieces of this particular puzzle:

November (who will be recurring but does not appear in the pilot) will be played by the luminous Miracle Laurie.

Dr. Claire Saunders will be played by... yet another name I'm gonna have trouble remembering how to spell... Amy Acker.

All in all, pound for pound, soup to nuts, man vs beast, it's a pretty amazing ensemble. I'm not sure how I landed this troupe, but rest assured I'm gonna write bestest good word for talkacting to them yes! They're in good hands.

Onward... to adventure! -j."

I love all these interesting names. I imagine what it will be like when these actors become stars in the fandom, and fangirls and fanboys will be squeeing, "Enver Gjokaj!!!" and "Dichen Lachman!!!" That's a far cry from "Alyson Hannigan!!!" and "James Marsters!!!" But it makes things interesting.

It took me about a day to get that Joss was referring to complex names of most of his cast. My excuse is that I've been extremely tired.

Woooo, "Amy Acker!!!"

It will be interesting to see how this cast fill their roles. The only one I am worried about is the Australian - Dichen Lachman - who is a poor actress on the soap opera that she is on. I just hope that's more of an effect of that genre than a real indication of her acting abilities.

But AMY FREAKING ACKER! YAY!

I'm so excited to hear more news about the show. I'm excited already.

I am really excited about this too.

That nasty-little-bastard voice at the back of my head keep on saying "It's on FOX - they're only showing so that they can break Joss' spirit once and for all by fucking yet another show over."

I mean, it doesn't have any transsexual midget wrestlers confronting their long-lost MILFy cousins whilst wired up to electro-shock panels so it is clearly not addressing their core demographic, is it?
