I swear, I’m not trying to turn the site into a pseudo Dollhouse fansite, but it just so happens that Joss Whedon has been great about releasing information about his new show on FOX, and as a sci-fi blogger, I wanna thank you for not being stingy like a lot of other creators out there. According to Whedon’s main fansite, Whedonesque, comes news that former Whedon angel Amy Acker (pictured, left), along with Miracle Laurie, has joined the cast of Dollhouse! And yes, I am very excited about this.
The casting for Joss Whedon’s FOX series Dollhouse has gotten pretty hot and heavy of late. The latest (and last?) addition comes from another FOX show, 24, where Harry Lennix played a character named Walid Al-Rezani. I don’t even remember who Walid Al-Rezani is on the show, but then again, 24 has so many characters coming and going, it’s hard to remember all of them unless they really make an impact. In any case, Lennix will be playing an ex-cop whose mission is to guard Echo, played by Eliza Dushku.
Kristin over at E! Online has even more details and semi-SPOILERS about Joss Whedon’s new TV series for FOX, the Eliza Dushku (pictured, left) starrer Dollhouse. We’ve already reported extensively on the new show, and buy now you pretty much know all you need to know. But just in case you don’t, here are the breakdowns: the first episode, the pilot, will be called “Echo”, which is the name of Eliza Dushku’s character; BSG’s Tahmoh Penikett plays an FBI agent and Echo’s eventual love interest; and Olivia Williams plays Adelle Dewitt, the head of the Dollhouse, where the “dolls” are kept until they’re needed for a mission. 
Olivia Williams as a villain? I don’t know, I find that hard to believe. She’s such a sweet, cute woman! But hey, maybe it’s time to stretch, right? According to The Hollywood Reporter, Olivia Williams (pictured, left) has joined the growing cast of Joss Whedon’s upcoming FOX sci-fi TV show Dollhouse. She’ll be joining Eliza Dushku, the show’s star, and will be playing the “ruthless and protective” woman who runs the Dollhouse where Dushku and others are stored, where their memories are wiped after each mission.
Joss Whedon’s new FOX sci-fi show Dollhouse just got a lot more crowded, with four new castmembers joining the show. The biggest name (at least in the sci-fi niche) is Tahmoh Penikett (pictured, left), who comes straight from the Sci Fi Channel’s Battlestar Galactica, which will end after this year, and will be joining Dollhouse as an FBI agent and potential love interest/antagonist for the main character played by Eliza Dushku. The other three actors joining the show are Fran Kranz, Australian Dichen Lachman and Enver Gjokaj.
This should make a lot of Buffy fans happy: according to TV Guide, Joss Whedon, the creator of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV show and Angel, has confirmed that Yes, he is looking at a couple of faces from Buffy to take over supporting casts in his new FOX sci-fi show Dollhouse. And this isn’t the only Buffy-Dollhouse connection, either, because the show’s star has already been cast. Eliza Dushku (pictured, below), who played the vampire slayer Faith on the show and then on Angel, is already scheduled to star in Dollhouse.
