If you're going to transplant one actor from Fringe to a new part in Fox's supernatural conspiracy drama Sleepy Hollow, then you couldn't do much better than John Noble, and Deadline is now reporting that the actor has just signed on for a recurring part in this fall's first new hit. Noble will play Henry Parrish, who Deadline describes as "a kind and reclusive man who possesses supernatural powers that have the potential to help the series' protagonist, Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison)." There's no word yet though just how many episodes Noble will appear in, or when his appearances will begin.
Did you see the series premiere of Sleepy Hollow this past Monday? If you didn't, you missed a rare treat, a bizarre conflagration of National Treasure, Washington Irving, The X-Files, Grimm, and Twin Peaks, and what kills you is that you buy it hook, line and sinker. Sleepy Hollow may end up being the best tongue-in-cheek, campy genre TV show since the heyday of Hercules and Xena (oddly enough Sleepy Hollow co-creators Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman got their start on those shows).
Anyway, if you haven't seen Sleepy Hollow yet, you should at lease be prepared to see it stick around for a while. The first episode was watched by 10.1 million viewers and a 3.5 in 18-49 demo. The show was Fox's biggest opening for a fall drama series in seven years.
What do you Bastards think of Sleepy Hollow? Looking forward to more Noble-level zaniness? Sound off below.
