Casting News: Pooch Hall In Syfy's 'Warehouse 13' + Jon Michael Hill In 'Elementary'

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

First, Pooch Hall, (who may or may not be returning to BET's The Game), will guest-star on Syfy's hit series Warehouse 13, playing Cody Bell, an Iraq vet and small-town boxer and steel worker, who becomes embroiled in artifact mayhem with stars Pete and Myka.


Warehouse 13 follows a team of government agents who work at a massive, top-secret storage facility in South Dakota, which houses every strange artifact, mysterious relic, fantastical object and preternatural souvenir ever collected by the U.S. government. The Warehouse's caretaker Artie Nielsen (Saul Rubinek) charges Pete Lattimer (Eddie McClintock), Myka Bering (Joanne Kelly), Claudia Donovan (Allison Scagliotti) and Steve Jinks (Aaron Ashmore) with chasing down reports of supernatural and paranormal activity in search of new objects to cache at the Warehouse, as well as helping him control the Warehouse itself.

The episode airs on Monday, September 17, airing at 9PM (ET/PT)

Pooch is so fine
treebraids 12th-Sep-2012 06:10 pm (UTC)
his hairline offends me.
curious_maya 12th-Sep-2012 06:16 pm (UTC)
If he and that Teresa Guidice chick had kids, they'd have hairlines that started at their eyelids.

Oh my god there's going to be more racist shit from the Sherlock stans.

IDGAF as long as it doesn't affect the writing and casting

I wish crusty arse whipes like that would gtfo of the fandom.
niagarawoman 12th-Sep-2012 06:24 pm (UTC)
I'm hoping he's Stanley Hopkins so it's another POC replacing their beloved white men.
idyllictorture 12th-Sep-2012 06:55 pm (UTC)
I would love that.
brokenbeauty08 12th-Sep-2012 06:30 pm (UTC)
their tears will please me greatly
shadowpiranha 12th-Sep-2012 06:17 pm (UTC)
I would definitely screw that Pooch.

And I am loving Elementary's casting policy. LOOK EVERYONE, PEOPLE OF COLOR ACTUALLY EXIST. DEAL WITH IT.
sadisticsidhe 12th-Sep-2012 06:19 pm (UTC)
I just hope that Jon Michael Hill is not Mary Morstan. I'm still holding out hope that Mary Morstan is Mary Morstan. And ever since I saw a fan casting for Mary as Freema Agyeman I've been all over that.

Speaking of Elementary, do they have a Lestrade? Or just a Lestrade-esque person.
scotchsour 12th-Sep-2012 08:55 pm (UTC)
No, if you read on Quinn's character then you'll know he's the detective in the books that Sherlock really was impressed by and liked more than Lestrade.
niagarawoman 12th-Sep-2012 06:22 pm (UTC)
JUST TELL ME HE'S STANLEY HOPKINS ALREADY, DAMMIT.
spankmypirate 12th-Sep-2012 06:22 pm (UTC)
Ugh, I wish Detroit 187 hadn't been cancelled. Good show, very diverse cast and Michael Imperioli.
spellfae 12th-Sep-2012 06:23 pm (UTC)
is that his real name....pooch hall?
amalgamade 12th-Sep-2012 07:11 pm (UTC)
His real name is Marion Hall...sounds very similar to LL Cool J's In The House character lol. I prefer Marion to Pooch tbh but I don't like either, not that my opinion matters to him.

lmao I googled his name and found out that's also Lady Saw's real name. Funny.

Elementary continues to be flawless. Haters gonna hate.

FUCK YES. ELEMENTARY? MORE LIKE DIVERSEMENTARY MY DEAR JOAN WATSON (idk I tried)
sandstorm 12th-Sep-2012 07:04 pm (UTC)
Yes @ Diversementary. New tagline.
amalgamade 12th-Sep-2012 07:03 pm (UTC)
Pooch is so fine, except for that Steve Harvey/Jamie Foxx hairline. I don't think he's a good actor though. Oh well, eye candy I guess.
amalgamade 12th-Sep-2012 07:13 pm (UTC)
Haha oh yeah there's a rumor going around here that he visited a local college last year (one of those club hosting gigs) and ~went home~ w/ an entire line of sorority sisters. /csb
spider_orchid 13th-Sep-2012 01:42 am (UTC)
