Casting News

Polly Walker in ROME


Some more CAPRICA casting news today: Polly Walker, who played Atia in HBO's ROME, has joined the cast to play Sister Clarice Willow. The Hollywood Reporter describes the character as "the gracious, eloquent and duplicitous high priestess and headmistress of the Athena Academy, a private religious school." What a wonderful choice.


THR also reports that Katee Sackhoff has signed on to appear in four episodes of FX's NIP/TUCK in its sixth season. She will play Dr. Theodora "Teddy" Lowe, "a new doctor who challenges Sean (Dylan Walsh)."

OMG, Polly Walker was awesome in Rome! Her face spoke volumes in the dénouement of the second series - wrapped it up in such a beautiful way. I wonder if that was one of the reasons Ron and co. hired her.

Hope she keeps up the good work. Can't wait to see her in action!

Yeah, I loved, loved, loved Walker in ROME.

I'm psyched - terrific actors from several other great shows, and crew previously seen at FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS and 24 to boot. Let's rock!

I need to get to that ROME rewatch I've been meaning to do. :)
