Exclusive: Veronica Mars' Dad + CBS = Numbers!

You know what you guys need? Some good news to distract you from all this depressing strike coverage. And dammit, good news you shall get…

Veronica Mars' much-missed Enrico Colantoni is returning to the tube with a major guest stint on CBS' Numbers, sources confirm to me exclusively. The role shouldn't be much of a stretch for the actor formerly known as Det. Mars: He's playing a surveillance specialist who takes a hostage when he suspects that someone has been spying on him.

The episode — slated to air in mid-December — is currently in production and, therefore, wouldn't be a victim of the strike.

Speaking of the S-word, I just returned from Strike Central at New York's Rockefeller Central and you're never going to believe who I spotted on the picket line: Team frakkin' Palladino! Good thing I had the foresight to bring a TVGuide.com video crew with me. To see highlights from my interview with AS-P — as well as fellow picketers Tina Fey and Seth Meyers — check back here in a few hours.

Excellent news indeed! Not to be a cup-half-empty kind of gal, but your title gave me a wild wild hope - I only wish I could have read the lovely words "series regular" as well. After hostage taking? A bit unlikely I'd say. I would have weeped in joy and sent you all the original Smurf albums I could find (I do live in Smurfland-hem Belgium) Ah well. Some other time... :)

Glad that we'll get to see him on TV again even if not as Keith!

I hope to see him on something regular soon. Have you guys seen what would have been VM had it made it to another season? (sorry if this is old news)

Found the Veronica Mars season 4 pilot on You Tube -- makes me miss them even more.

I'm just now watching Veronica Mars (I love me some DVD's) and I really enjoy this guy.

But let me just say that Moonlight has GOT to do more with Jason Dohring. WOW.

Enrico should go back to do comedy, he was awsome on Just Shoot Me

Yes, Enrico was excellent on Just Shoot Me. I also enjoyed his guest starring role on Monk a few seasons back.
