- The Futon Critic is reporting that more castings have been made in the new Jason Lee sitcom pilot, “My Name Is Earl”, and believe it or not, another familiar face has joined the fun:
EARL (NBC) – Ethan Suplee (”Without a Paddle”), Nadine Velazquez (”Entourage”) and Eddie Steeples (”Torque”) have all been cast in the Jason Lee-led comedy pilot, about a low-rent crook who, after winning the lottery, decides to use his limited yet oddly effective intelligence to right the wrongs he has made in his life. Suplee will play Earl’s brother, Randy, while Velazquez is set as hotel maid Tatiana with Steeples as Earl’s friend Darnell. Jaime Pressly also stars as Earl’s ex-wife. In addition, Marc Buckland (”Cracking Up”) has come aboard to direct and executive produce the pilot, which comes from 20th Century Fox Television and creator Greg Garcia.
A capsule review of an early draft of the pilot episode is forthcoming. It’ll be a lot more interesting to re-read the script with these faces now in mind. A sitcom with TWO View Askew vets on board in regular roles? How ’bout that!
