Just a week ago we heard the news that William Hurt was joining the stellar cast of the FX show Damages, but that’s not the only big name to be added to this legal thriller.
Timothy Olyphant, from the recent Hitman and Live Free or Die Hard films, is now on-board according to Seat42F.
Now, I don’t want to overstate this news like it’s Tom Hanks joining or anything like that, but anytime you get an actor who has played the lead in a few motion pictures, it’s a big get.
Damages now boasts the likes of Glenn Close, Rose Byrne, possibly Ted Danson, to go with the newbies in Hurt and Olyphant. That’s an awesome group of actors and it just gets me more pumped for the second season.
Of course, that’s not until 2009, but whatever.
Oh yeah, if you haven’t watched the first season yet, I suggest you rent Disc 1 and see what you think. It’s a 13 episode legal mystery action thriller that is worth every second.
No word yet on what role Olyphant will be playing.
