Alfre Woodard Has a New Series!
First off, sorry for the absense. Some technical difficulties beyond anyone’s control. But, I’m here now and ready to share all the latest about Wysteria Lane!
While she’s been active in film and TV for years now, I first saw Alfre Woodard when she appeared on Desperate Housewives as Betty Applewhite, a mother who gives new meaning to the phrase tough love. Many fans were unimpressed by the plot, but I enjoyed it and her performance. She has this presence on screen that is hard to ignore. Still, the mystery was over by the end of season 2 and Alfre was off television. Until now.
She’s going to be co-starring in a new NBC series this fall called My Own Worst Enemy. Christian Slater is the lead in what is described as a new take on the Jekyll and Hyde story. Hmm…. that sounds kind of familiar, no? Anyway… Alfre will be playing his boss who also has a secret life. Guess all that time on Wysteria Lane is about to pay off
The series is reported to be scheduled for Mondays at 10 PM, so there will be no scheduling conflict for Housewives fans wanting to check out a former cast member. In other casting news, she’s also expected to be in the upcoming film The Family that Preys. In that one, Alfre is rumored to be playing the working-class friend of a socialite. Their long friendship is going to be tested, however, by their children’s problems. Sounds like quite the part I’ll update you on the film as more information comes out.
Well, that’s about all for today. Don’t worry, though, I’m just getting started Look for plenty more recaps, news and other stuff to come this week.
