Awesome casting news to pass along to all y’all Joss Whedon/Dollhouse fans. As we already know, Joss spilled over the weekend (while chatting with a room packed with fans at 2009 San Diego Comic-Con) that Buffyverse alums Alexis Denisof (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel) and Summer Glau (Firefly, Serenity) will be joining the case of Dollhouse in some capacity in the show’s second season which premieres on FOX this Fall … but Joss also revealed that Battlestar Galactica star Jamie Bamber (who played Lee Adama on BSG) will appear as a special guest star on the show’s season 2 premiere episode! Since BSG alum Tahmoh Penikett already stars on Dollhouse as “good guy” Paul Ballard, it looks like the show will become a veritable BSG lovefest reunion with Jamie on board, too!!
Want more Dollhouse news? Then you’re in the right place! Network sources confirm to us exclusively that Battlestar Galactica’s Jamie Bamber is set to guest star on the season two premiere of Dollhouse. But where does he fit into the storylines? Here’s what we’re hearing: We’re told that Bamber’s character is heavily involved in an engagement Echo (Eliza Dushku) and her new handler Paul Ballard (Tahmoh Penikett) have been assigned to. Geekgasm!
HOW FRAKKIN’ AWESOME IS THIS?! I can’t even properly process how amazing it is to have the Buffyverse and BSG collide in this way. I was so excited when I learned that Tahmoh got a starring gig on Dollhouse but now that Jamie Bamber has been welcomed into the fold, well, perhaps Joss Whedon can open a retirement home for ex-BSGers who need work? I would LOVE that!! For that matter, why not call up some Buffyverse alums who we haven’t heard from in some time … Charisma Carpenter? Emma Caufield? Nicholas Brendon? It could happen! Here’s hoping Dollhouse has a stellar second season … the longer the show stays on the air, the longer the chance exists that our fave actors from days of yore can get cast on the show :)

His name is actually Jamie BaMber not Barber
can’t wait for the new season
i would die if he put emma on the show… i miss her
OMG Would Love Emma to come on to this show.. My Fav Buffyverse Alum… Weeeeee
Nicholas Brendan has actually been on Criminal Minds for the past couple of seasons
@Amy — But wouldn’t it be nice to have him back in the Buffyverse?
Well he could do both his part isn’t that big on Criminal Minds and then there would be more of him to love.
Joss is pure genius. I cannot wait for the 2nd season :D
From rumors I heard around the time Charisma Carpenter left Angel, I don’t think Whedon will be hiring her any time soon. Hopefully they’ve put it all in the past though.
i thought she left angel coz she got preggo… ?
and guh.drool/geekout @ jamie bamber. yaaaaaay bsg lives on in joss!
xander needs to return to the buffyverse, lets face it, him or his twin could do it. jamie bamber is HOT! I just wish dollhouse was a better show, i just wish the acting was better, i don’t think dushku is that good.
