Buffyverse alums making their way to the show?

[Wyndam]

I just read this over at Whedonesque, and then at TVGuide.com:

Nothing concrete yet, but this news makes me really excited. I have always felt that Joss casted the perfect actors for all of his major roles in Buffy, Angel and Firefly. Looking back on each series, I can't think of a single character that would have worked better if another actor had been cast (yeah even Riley ).

So if some Buffyverse actors do make their way to the show then, based on the past, should mean that they are very well suited for the role. I am also all for casting newcomers if the role requires that as well, because Joss has also shown considerable talent in selecting them.

No matter what happens, I would personaly love to see Alexis Denisof get a role of some kind on the show. I know he is really close with Joss and hasn't done much after Angel besides a few (hilarious) guest spots on "How I Met Your Mother." He is too good of an actor to not be working! He must be enjoying his marriage to Mrs. Hannigan a little TOO much.

This show is already generating a lot of buzz, and hopefully that will only continue to grow over the next few months.

I can't wait for September!

omg this is awesome! i would love for some buffyverse vets to be on Dollhouse. Joss does such an amazing job of fleshing out the characters, I don't think it would be too hard for the actors to create some distance from their older buffyverse selves. oh i love this news

i would love alexis denisof to be involved in this...maybe joss can tempt him into getting off the couch (anyone know what he's been up to besides good, old married life?)

Charisma Carpenter would be fun too. And James Marsters as a regular on a Joss show...oh its too glorious to comprehend.

yay yay yay

Ever since I read about the character Adelle, I've been dreaming that Stephanie Romanov would play her.

I agree. She'd be perfect for that role.

I'm hoping lots of Whedonverse actors make guest appearences on the show, that would be too cool. I'm hoping for some new actors too, because look what we got with Firefly? Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't complain if Whedonverse actors filled up the main roles.

If this show takes off, it would be cool if Sarah would come on and be a big bad for an episode or two!

After she films her 3 upcoming movies, maybe she could fit in a guest spot!

Very exciting news. I would love a supporting role for Charisma Carpenter, mostly out of sympathy because she can't find work and she's a genuinely good actress who has unfortunately been typecast. Any of the cast would be great, James had great onscreen chemistry with Eliza in their few scenes together. Everyone knows how much Joss likes Amy Acker, I wouldn't be surprised if she got a role. Joss does have a talent for choosing amazing actors for his series, I'm sure we'll get some great new additions.

Don't know anything about any of the characters but some people i'd like to see in 'Dollhouse' are Amy Acker, Alexis Denisof, Amber Benson, Tom Lenk and Felicia Day.

Tom Lenk is just hilarious in whatever he does. He's so adorable. And so is Felicia Day.

Big Bad? That doesn't sound like a term that would be used for Dollhouse lol

We can only hope.
