Armchair Casting Director: 'Fringe'

Categories: Fringe, News

J.J. Abrams and his fellow Fringe cronies are adding a new, potentially recurring role. Here are the deets:

Rebecca: A 50 year-old never-married blond female. Far from being a spinster, she is beautiful, wealthy, and completely comfortable with who she is. She also has psychic abilities, which has been both a blessing and a curse. Debuts in episode 4.

Got casting suggestions? Post ‘em below. I’m thinking Gail O’Grady or Virginia Madsen.

    Two words: Kate. Vernon.

  • Ayana

    Gail O’Grady would be perfect.

  • Robin

    I think that Melanie Griffith would be terrific in this role! She’s doing a turn on Nip/Tuck but I think it would be great to see her in this role – nobody can play “eccentric” like Melanie Griffith – think Something Wild!!

  • Kermonk

    Ack, Virginia Madsen is approaching 50… but she’s still very gorgeous – so that would be great (assuming they don’t kill the character)

  • Snarf

    Donna Mills

  • MikeyFan

    Tracy Pollan

    Cybil Shepard…I know she’s older…but meets all of the crieria

    Ditto to Kate Vernon. I’d have the biggest nerdgasm since the time Carl Lumbly was on BSG!

  • Vetinari

    Lisa Kudrow

  • Rishi

    How about Susanna Thompson (was recurring on NCIS and was just on Kings)?

  • Rishi

    or Heather Locklear?

    Emma Thompson or Cheryl Ladd

  • Sandra

    Ellen Barkin.

  • Amanda Griffin

    I’ll go for someone older than 50, so that she can be a love interest for Walter. Crazy need love too!!! I just can’t think of any names yet….to be continued
