Angel spoilers

[doyle]

According to filmjerk.com, the Angel producers are casting for Wes's father, Roger.

The elder Wyndham-Pryce, listed as being in his late 50s or early 60s, is described as being “incredibly well-educated and articulate, albeit with a rather stern disposition.” The actor who is given the guest-starring role will film his scenes over 10 days in Los Angeles, beginning October 1.

According to our source, Roger is there to evaluate Wesley (played by Alexis Denisof) for possible reacceptance to the Watcher's Council. The visit is strictly business, as years of distance and unresolved issues make for a great deal tension between the two. Roger also strongly disapproves of Wesley's new workplace (he calls it "a haven of Hell") and the company he keeps, including Angel and Gunn.


I'm hugely intrigued at getting a look at Wes's dad. Sounds like it has the potential to be a very cool episode.

Heh. I'm English, with an Uncle Roger, who's nearly 60 and therefore about the age Wes' dad would be, so I'd have to differ on that. Roger is quite a common English name; not so much for babies born now, perhaps, but for their older relatives, certainly.

OK, so I'm wrong on the Britishism part. Still, you think they could come up with another first name. Just like two out of three Buffy boyfriends were named William before they died. Find a baby book or something, ME!
