Casting on Fringe, J.J. Abrams' pilot for Fox, is nearly wrapped up, with two of the three leads now filled. Aussie actor John Noble (The Lord of the Rings' Denethor) will play Dr. Walter Bishop, the institutionalized scientist a young female FBI agent must collaborate with to get to the bottom of a rash of paranormal activity, while Lance Reddick (a star on The Wire and a recurring player on the upcoming season of Lost) has been cast as the special agent who heads the division of Homeland Security that specializes in X-Files-type events. As reported the other day, Kirk Acevedo (Oz) and Mark Valley (Boston Legal) are also onboard.
Now we're just waiting on the G-woman.
