Awesome news, since this is the one new network TV series I'm going to try out this season. Anyone who watched Deadwood knows what a talented and versatile actor Dillahunt is, from playing Wild Bill's killer Jack McCall in Season 1 (not a spoiler, historical fact...I think?) to even more brilliantly portraying the psychotic Wolcott in Season 2. And looking near-unrecognizable in both roles at the time since I had no idea who the guy was. He was also the doctor on John From Cincinatti, a character I thought was turning out to have an interesting arc (I missed taping the last two or three episodes, so haven't bothered finishing the thing yet).

I wonder if Mr. Dillahunt is indeed replacing the original "Bad" Terminator they had cast for the Pilot. Weren't they going to rethink the "reveal" of the Terminator in the Pilot due to the Virginia Tech Shootings? This is an interesting development, and I agree that Dillahunt is a wise choice.

I sure hope this doesn't mean "The 4400" definitely isn't coming back, though. :-(

Summer isn't a regular character on The 4400, and Mr. Dillahunt hasn't been on in two seasons. So I don't think the show is in danger. Or at least it better not be. The 4400 usually does pretty well ratings-wise (I think), so an actor leaving shouldn't affect things.

It's a good thing Kris pointed out that he was in Deadwood because I almost didn't recognize him without his beard. That guy is a chameleon.
