Thanks for the new thread!

**Violent Delights** · 06-06-2017, 02:38 AM

No problem!

**Big Head want Dolly** · 06-07-2017, 11:02 PM

Maybe we'll get some cast stuff after this event that was posted in the news thread

**Violent Delights** · 06-08-2017, 01:20 AM

that would be good, even if it doesn't include the cast

**Big Head want Dolly** · 06-08-2017, 01:54 AM

Yeah

Ever the optimist...

**Violent Delights** · 06-09-2017, 02:01 AM

from the Twitter account that posted it, if nothing else

We did get a little bit on the cast

Quote:

Alias was able to attract a stellar guest star cast — including Quentin Tarantino, Angela Bassett, and Faye Dunaway — thanks, in part, to J.J. Abrams. “It was who J.J. wanted to meet,” jokes Appelbaum, who says Abrams got obsessed with the British version of The Office and that’s why they wrote a part for Ricky Gervais. “Usually on TV shows, you’d say, ‘So it’s like an Angela Bassett type or a Quentin Tarantino type,’ but then it was actually them.” One star they weren’t able to get back for the final season was Lena Olin, who didn’t return in a full capacity as Sydney’s mother Irina Derevko. “She didn’t want to commit,” Caplan says. “It was very difficult to get her on the show, but once she was there, she was happy as a clam. She was really lovely to work with. It was so hard to get her each time to come. She was coming from upstate New York.”

I can imagine Lena being like that

**Big Head want Dolly** · 07-05-2017, 08:25 AM

I can't believe I didn't remember that I had seen POI's "Shaw" before

for real?!

I'm so shocked

we've seen them so much. when she originally got on the show, it clicked right away.

Damn, she did fifty episodes.

Also, while checking IMDB -

Yes

I had absolutely no memory of seeing her somewhere before

Not enough (for me)

Pretty amazing

I liked going through their imdb stuff after finishing POI... for some reason I also wasn't aware of the fact that Amy had two kids... which is doubly amazing since there are pics of them on her IG account, but for some reason my brain ignored them

**Violent Delights** · 07-07-2017, 02:49 AM

but not 47.

**Big Head want Dolly** · 07-07-2017, 06:55 AM

No, not this time

**Violent Delights** · 07-08-2017, 10:59 AM

She just hangs out with them.
