YES!!! :yahoo: Finally! :hyper2: :hyper2: :hyper2:

EW is reporting that Jason has signed on to the cast of The Ringer in a recurring role! :woohoo:
Logan from Veronica Mars is joining Sarah Michelle Gellar’s new drama on the CW.
EW has learned exclusively that Jason Dohring will recur as Mr. Carpenter, a high school teacher at the new school attended by Juliet (Zoey Deutch), the stepdaughter of Manhattan socialite Siobhan Martin (Gellar). The sexy thriller — which features Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Gellar playing twins — will bow Sept. 13. It also stars Lost’s Nestor Carbonell as an FBI agent.
Dohring recently appeared in episodes of Lie to Me and CSI but fans probably count his run as Josef on Moonlight as his second-most memorable gig behind Mars.

Might??? :snicker:

That show has just gone from "maybe I'll DVR it and give it a try" to "must watch live AND DVR it." :teeth:

Hmm, he was on a Moonlight episode called The Ringer. I thought you meant that for a moment. What's that show about, pray tell?

I'm so happy for him! And for us!! And for the world to see more of him!!! :hyper2:

There's a good synopsis here, francis: http://www.cwtv.com/shows/ringer/about

I'll quote it in case any of our foreign members can't see it...
Sarah Michelle Gellar stars as a woman who, after witnessing a murder, goes on the run, hiding out by assuming the life of her wealthy identical twin sister – only to learn that her sister's seemingly idyllic life is just as complicated and dangerous as the one she's trying to leave behind. Bridget is six months sober and starting to turn her life around when she is the sole witness to a professional hit. Despite the assurances of her FBI protector, Agent Victor Machado, Bridget knows her life is on the line. She flees to New York, telling no one, not even her Narcotics Anonymous sponsor, Malcolm. In New York, Bridget reunites with her estranged twin, Siobhan. Wealthy, pampered and married to the strikingly handsome Andrew Martin, Siobhan lives what appears to be a fairy tale life – a life where no one knows that Bridget exists. The sisters seem to be mending their frayed relationship, until Siobhan disappears overboard during a boat trip, and Bridget makes the split decision to take on her sister's identity. She discovers shocking secrets, not only about her sister and her marriage, but also about Siobhan's best friend, Gemma, and Gemma's husband, Henry. And when someone tries to kill Bridget in her sister's penthouse, she realizes she is no safer as Siobhan than she is as herself.

The series stars Sarah Michelle Gellar as Bridget and Siobhan, Kristoffer Polaha as Henry, Ioan Gruffudd as Andrew Martin, Nestor Carbonell as Agent Victor Machado and Tara Summers as Gemma.

RINGER is produced by CBS Television Studios and Warner Bros. Television in association with ABC Television Studios and Brillstein Entertainment with executive producers Pam Veasey ("CSI, NY," "The District"), Peter Traugott ("Samantha Who?") and Emmy Award-winner Richard Shepard ("Ugly Betty"). The pilot was directed by Richard Shepard.

It looks pretty interesting! Here's the Wikipedia page for it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringer_%28TV_series%29

And the CW official site: http://www.cwtv.com/shows/ringer

And the IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1819654/

And it looks like they're calling it "Ringer" (no "The").

LOL and I cross-posted with the two of you!
