Jason Isaacs of course.
Isaacs
Sean Maher. he did a great couple guest spots recently but he really ought to be in a series again.
ooooooh seconded!
Jason Isaacs is one of the best actors around these days and needs a project worthy of his talent. Lets see him get a great role.
THANK YOU for this article. I absolutely agree that Jason Isaacs needs a vehicle such as Mad Men to make people realize he is much more than Lucius Malfoy. He is incredibly talented and underrated and charismatic. Even picky Mark Kermode of the BBC thinks so. I’d love to see him play a conflicted good guy for once though, and with his natural British accent if possible. Rowr!
Fresh new faces or superbly talented actors who haven’t really been given a chance, like…
MICHAEL CASSIDY!!! He was on Hidden Palms, Smallville, The OC and Privileged. Let 2010 be his year too.
Katee Sackhoff needs her own show like yesterday. While I am very happy to see her on 24, I also feel like she needs a show that allows her to show her amazing range. A strong woman who can kick your ass but in the same sense that can be super vunerable and emotionaly and frakkin crazy! Hopefully by the end of 24 you’ll see what I mean. Also, I think she would be really good at comedy which is not something she has tapped into in the past too often.
In addition to Katee, definatley the entire cast of Dollhouse! That show was amazing and its so sad that Fox didn’t pull an NBC (normally not a good thing!) and renew it for just one more season in the way that Chuck got renewed. Although, some may argue that is what season 2 was… Either way, the cast was excellent and they all need shows, maybe not their own shows, but the should be working often!
Agree- Mary Stuart Masterson needs to work MORE!! absoluley, maybe she could reunite with Eric Stolz on an episode or ten of Caprica?! Although I also enjoyed her stint on SVU what was it, five years ago? A return is highly recommended, but in the end I’d love to see her get her own show. She hasn’t had one since the Kate Brasher days.
Also like to see more of the cast of The Wire. I know a lot of them are on tv now (Fringe, Treme, & 24!) but it frightens me how the excellence of that show went overlooked and since most the cast has not been all over my tv… really?
Lauren Ambrose, your the only Fisher sibling to NOT have your own show, come out and play for us, we loved Claire and you made her great. Get a show woman!
Ok, long i know but I feel better now.

TOTALLY agree – Jason Isaacs!!!
Missi Pyle!
She’s been a guest star on everything, is constantly in the mix of pilot season and freaking hilarious!
