A key role for Fringe‘s Season 3 finale has been cast — and as with everything on the Fox series, there’s a bit of a twist involved.
Brad Dourif, whom many of you remember as Deadwood‘s Doc Cochran, has been tapped to play a mysterious character named Moreau in the sure-to-be-intense Fringe finale airing Friday, May 6.
The wrinkle is that the original casting breakdown for this character specifically sought a “well-known Japanese actor … who speaks English” to fill the role.

Brad Dourif is awesome :D
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know him as Grima from LOTR and as the villain in Myst 3, and he is awesome.
ReplyDeleteLuther Lee Boggs...YES!
ReplyDeleteHe's also the voice of Chucky in 'Child's Play' :D
ReplyDeleteBellie and Walter and enough mad scientist for me.... I do like Dourif, but do we really need Dr. Moreau now too?
ReplyDeleteWell know Japanese actor that speaks English... they wouldn't have gone to the Star Trek well twice and planned on George Takei would they? He is one bizarre man!
you know, i can see some dunham genes in him. THey might pull something that has to do with olivia's family with him, just a note.
ReplyDeletefunny that they changed their whole original idea for the character. Asian to totaly not.
How do we know Moreau is a doctor? (Can't remember the original casting call and too lazy to go look for it...)
ReplyDeleteHe was great in Dune and Babylon 5 too. Can't wait!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG my nerdometer just exploded. I'm super excited about this.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he is the character that Harris was reporting too in Season 1. We still don't know who was activating all the cortexikids. And David Robert Jones made sure that Harris didn't know about Olivia otherwise Harris wouldn't have tried to killed her. Loeb knew, he said they were trying to save her, but she wasn't following their agenda so he wouldn't help her.
