More Casting News | Greg Grunberg Films ‘LOST’ episode
We previously reported some casting rumors for Season 3 and, as it often turns out with rumors, one of them has proven to be false. According to TV Guide’s Ausiello, it won’t be Wynn Everett playing the speedy Joy, but Brea Grant instead.
Brea is best known for her role as Landry’s rebound girl, Jean Brinnel, on Friday Night Lights. She has also guest starred on Cold Case. Brea will be playing Joy, described as “quick on her feet — and adept at getting herself into and out of trouble.” Her power of speed apparently rivals that of The Flash and it is believed Joy will be one of the many Villains we will see in the next story arc. One of her first encounters with our Heroes, will be when she meets Hiro in a museum. He asks her if she has powers and if she is trying to steal some art. She convinces him that she’s not stealing, and then makes off with a bunch of paintings.
E! Online’s Kristin is reporting that Greg Grunberg was spotted in Hawaii filming scenes for the upcoming LOST finale. You might remember Greg as the pilot of the ill-fated plane. Apparently we will see more of his character, Seth Norris, in the season ender. I assume it will be in flashback, but you never know with this show. I have a feeling Grunny’s character may be a bigger part of the story than we once thought. The season finale of LOST airs in two parts, the first hour on May 15 and the 2nd and 3rd hours on May 29.
