LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – “Veronica Mars” veteran Jason Dohring has joined the cast of CBS’ new vampire drama “Moonlight.”
Alex O’Loughlin stars as a private investigator who happens to be a vampire. Dohring will play ancient vampire Josef. He replaces 60-year-old Rade Serbedzija, who played the part in the pilot presentation before the character was reconceptualized as a young, mischievous hedge-fund trader.
Dohring, who played Veronica Mars’ (Kristen Bell) on-and-off boyfriend Logan on the critically praised CW drama, is the second new addition to “Moonlight” cast, along with recently cast Sophia Myles.
I suppose we could always move the location of the show to Toronto and call it Forever Knight – oh wait – they did that already.
I don’t care if it rips off a little Forever Knight. I was a fan of that show too, but it’s been over ten years since it aired. This isn’t an exact copy anyway.
But, I really wasn’t looking forward to watching it until I heard Jason Dohring had been cast. Excellent choice!
