Castle - Season 4 - Casting News - William Atherton to Guest

Aug 17, 2011

Share on Reddit
William Atherton has booked a chilly guest spot on the upcoming season of Castle, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

The veteran actor will play Dr. Ari Weiss, a "life-extension researcher" who has dedicated most of his work to the study of cryogenic freezing. When Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic) happen upon a murder scene with no victim, their search for the missing body soon leads them to Dr. Weiss' work — not to mention a bunch of other frozen corpses.

Atherton, 64, appeared in Die Hard and Die Hard 2 as well as Ghost Busters and Real Genius . His small-screen credits include roles on Life, Desperate Housewives, Law & Order: SVU and the final season of Lost.

    I had to use the info tool to look him up since I didn't recognize the name.  When I saw the pic on his IMDB profile, I instantly said "oh, THAT guy."

    William Atherton annoys me , but only because he looks so much like Ted Atherton the Canadian actor and yet they are unrelated... It confounds me! XD

    William Atherton. . . should be a strong character.  I enjoyed his stint on Numb3rs.  He also played that EPA a*hole from ghostbusters and the professor from Real Genius. 

    Favorite Atherton line (from Real Genius):
    "What are you staring at?  You're laborers!  You're supposed to be laboring!  That's what you get for not having an education!"

    Very intriguing. Season 4 is shaping up to be all kinds of awesome.

    I've mostly seen Atherton in, albeit as a minor character, an alpha male, often doctors and lawyers. Wonder how he'll be here.
