Farewell, Sidney Glass? It could happen!
Giancarlo Esposito has scored a role in the new sci-fi pilot from J.J. Abrams and Supernatural creator Eric Kripe.
Esposito will star in the mind-bending action/drama Revolution as Lt. Neville, a “hard-as-steel military man…who may not always be what he seems,” according to casting intel.
Esposito, whose Gus Fring was epically killed off at the end of last season of Breaking Bad, currently recurs on ABC’s Once Upon a Time as Sidney Glass/Magic Mirror, one of the queen’s most trusted conspirators. (And, of course, Revolution needs to score a series pick-up in order to put Mr. Glass in any sort of real danger.)
The much-buzzed pilot, which was picked up by NBC and Jon Favreau is set to direct, follows a group of characters who try to reunite with loved ones “in a world where all forms of energy have mysteriously ceased to exist,” the show’s logline reads.

Fantastic news :D great actor. I was very impressed by him in Breaking Bad.
ReplyDeleteSounds good.
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to this show.
I hope it doesn't disappoint as many recent offerings seem to have.
Great casting, am looking forward to seeing what this is about as I am still not all that sure!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! And isn't he recurring on OUAT anyway?
ReplyDeleteWell. I think he had been underused in "Once", so this could be a great thing!
ReplyDeleteO_O
ReplyDeleteWow. How could this possibly get any better?
Sweet! i have always liked him,and he hasn't added much in Once so if we get to see him in a JJ show you know he has a chance to shine.
ReplyDeleteAnd Bravo to NBC to looking for something that might help boost its dismal ratings and shows...
JJ, Favreau, Esposito. I'm in.
ReplyDeleteI feel like this show really wants me to watch it!
ReplyDeleteOccasionally things seem too good to be true... Seriously!
ReplyDeleteI swear the people this show is putting together...OUT! OF! THIS! FREAKIN'! WORLD!!!
ReplyDeleteIf it doesn't get picked up and isn't awesome I really won't know what to make of that... I mean it will clearly have no logic if it's not amazing.
Am I setting the bar too high? I feel I should I lower my expectations, but they're just not letting me.
(having said that I wonder if it does get picked up -fingers crossed- what that will mean for Sidney/Mirror on OUaT)
... *nods* and for me also Kripke! Major points for Eric!
ReplyDeleteAlso not a bad reason to watch. :)
