'Ugly Betty' scoop: Fisher Stevens is Betty's new (spoiler alert)!

ugly-betty-casting_l Is Betty leaving the nest again? Looks that way judging by the following casting scoop…

Sources confirm to me exclusively that Fisher Stevens is joining Ugly Betty in the potentially recurring role of Mr. Z., Betty’s dry, sarcastic new landlord.

In casting the part, Betty producers were looking for a “New York actor who could go head-to-head with America Ferrera.” I’d say the Short Circuit/Early Edition/Numb3rs thesp fits the bill.

Do you agree?

I’m just so glad you didn’t say love interest! So yay, fun. Looking forward to seeing Betty on her own again.

Never seen the show, but Fisher Stevens kills whatever he’s in (in a good way). His old show Key West was excellent.

So how many episodes will it take before she moves back in with her dad? Place your bets!

The writers made me so mad when they had Betty move out on her own last season only to have her move back with her father and annoying sister. They better not pull the same stunt this season!

  It’s great news if Betty is getting her own place (again). She has grown up, works hard and has earned the right. I was really bugged last season when her family guilted her into moving back home. I just hope it’s not a hole this time.

I cannot believe that Fisher Stevens used to sleep with Michelle Pheiffer. That is so wrong.
