Sissy Spacek to join the cast of Big Love

Major casting alert: Oscar-winning actress Sissy Spacek is joining HBO's "Big Love." She'll play a powerful Washington D.C. lobbyist in a multi-episode arc starting in the third episode of next season.

It's quite the coup for the HBO drama. Spacek has a whopping six Academy Award nominations for her memorable roles in films such as "Carrie," "Crimes of the Heart," and "In the Bedroom," and she won the Best Actress statuette for her indelible portrayal of Loretta Lynn in 1980's "Coal Miner's Daughter." The actress was just at the Toronto film festival promoting her latest feature, "Get Low."

Spacek is just the latest addition to "Big Love"'s fourth season; other actors cast include Bella Thorne, who will replace Jolean Wejbe as Barb and Bill's youngest daughter Teenie, and Ben Koldyke as Dale, a state-appointed trustee and love interest for Alby (Matt Ross).

The Emmy-nominated HBO drama is slated to begin its fourth season early next year

I didn't see this posted so I hope it wasn't! I love Sissy Spacek, so I'm happy about this -though I would've loved to have seen her play a crazy compound lady (she has the hair for it). I am so glad they got rid of the actress playing Teenie because she was pretty awful. But it was also awful how they never ever talked about her or mentioned her -Ben and Sarah get all the love in that family. As for Alby's love interest... the gayer he gets, the more I love him.

The fact that no one from this cast got Emmy noms this year is so ridiculous. It is one of the best acted dramas on television. Chloe especially was amazing this season since her character keeps getting more and more depth, but everyone on the show does such a good job for the most part and it is so well casted.
evilgmbethy 20th-Sep-2009 05:12 pm (UTC)
ugh seriously. They are all pretty amazing, but Chloe Sevigny is beyond incredible. It's a crime she wasn't nominated.

A LOVE INTEREST FOR ALBY!? AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!~

grammaire 20th-Sep-2009 06:51 am (UTC)
Best season BY FAR, in my humble opinion.
elcynic619 20th-Sep-2009 06:58 am (UTC)
Yeah, I don't get it... the family just falling apart, the trial, every scene Nicki was in. Just brilliant.
spadul 20th-Sep-2009 06:53 am (UTC)
did we watch the same season jw because the one i saw was superb
flowerings 20th-Sep-2009 07:00 am (UTC)
wtf, season three was amazing.
xcollsangelx 20th-Sep-2009 07:10 am (UTC)
Season 3 was EPIC.

Season 2 was the disappointing season.
marmar627 20th-Sep-2009 08:35 am (UTC)
I don't know, I just didn't find myself as emotionally attached to the characters as I did in the previous seasons. I wish I could elaborate, but honestly I disliked the season so much I really don't remember all that much about it, other than thinking less of it :(


I still like the show and I'll keep watching though!
erraticxemotion 20th-Sep-2009 06:51 am (UTC)
OMG THIS WILL BE AWESOME.
ecctv 20th-Sep-2009 06:54 am (UTC)
I actually have not seen the show at all, but do they have kids in the family? I thought one of the points of many wives to have more kids
spadul 20th-Sep-2009 06:55 am (UTC)
they have a shit ton of kids.

Why have the past three posts been members only?
grammaire 20th-Sep-2009 07:04 am (UTC)
Weird, it did it for me automatically when I submitted it because I definitely didn't click "members only". I've fixed it now.
applejane 20th-Sep-2009 07:22 am (UTC)
I think it has something to do with your journal security default.

Thanks for changing it. I'm always too lazy to log in and I miss the friend-only posts.
flowerings 20th-Sep-2009 07:01 am (UTC)
yes, albyyyyyyy.
