Wooo! Awesome, more Rachael. Is it just me, or is her career starting to heat up a tiny bit? I don't like the show, but I'll have to watch it now. This is for next season right? When does the season start, and do you know if Rachael will be in 4 consecutive episodes, so I know when to watch.. or do i have to actually watch the whole season lol

Moral of the story, if Spielburg asks you to be in something that he is either producing or directing, JUST SAY YES. I am sure that Rachael's being in Into The West, I am sorry to have to say this, has helped casting people overlook Rachael's mainstream career. We true believers know how talented Rachael is, but, although we may enjoy her mainstream work , the rest of the world didn't like Antitrust,Josie and the Pussycats, and Get Carter.(I think most of us agree that Texas Rangers had too much Van der Beek,Kutcher,and McDurmett, and not enough Cook, so that was a total suckfest.)So lets thank Steven Spielburg for helping Rachael get out of the indie film ghetto.

Here is another article that basically has the same info:

I hope her character in Las Vegas does not require Rachael to use her Southern accent. I think it is a henderance to her acting. As a matter of fact if Rachael isn't nomenated for any awards for performance in Into the West, one reason could be that Rachael is not her best when she uses her Southern accent(one exception being her last scene in Antitrust- while watching her, I thought that I was watching another bad remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers).

Excellent news! I look forward to this. Does anyone know when the new season starts?

Las Vegas starts on September 19th at 9 pm.

Awesome! Thanks for the info!

Ditto

Yes, September 19th is the season premiere and Penny Posin (Rachael) should be in that episode.

Excellent! Can't wait for that!

All the hype for the season premere is on Lara Flynn Boyle, no mention of Rachael. Maybe its only because Rachael is on for only a short time, but what has LFB done lately except for being famous for being as thin or thinner than Calista Flockhart? In one trailer, though, Josh Duhamel's character appears to walk in on a woman taking her shirt off. Since Rachael is going to be Josh's love interest, it could be her that we are seeing. Then again we are seeing her from the back, so it could be Vanessa Marcil. I think it is Rachael, because the woman's hair is shorter than Vanessa's.

At least TV Guide mentions Rachael. In a sentence that that basicly says that she has a recurring role.

The NBC site says the following:

September 19th Rachael Leigh Cook & Lara Flynn Boyle Join the Cast!

Join the cast?

Here is a tiny article mentioning Rachael's upcoming appearances on "Las Vegas." If you didn't know already, the episodes she will appear in are now five.

You might have seen a repeat of the Sept. 12 episode. I am pretty sure tomorrow,Sept 19, Rachael will be on it as tbrachael posted above. I saw the Sept.12 spisode and, as I posted above, I thought it totally sucked that LFB was being hyped ; there was nomention of RLC. I ask again, what has LFB done lately? RLC's DVD's may have been seen by few, but at least she has some. All LFB has done,lately,as far as I know, was being famous for being as emaciated, or even more emaciated, as Calista Flockhart.

I don't get NBC anymore so I won't be able to see it

Being from Ireland and all, I'm hoping Sky One will be showing it, they've shown the last 2 series and tis a pretty cool show.... but probably won't get it over here till after Christmas, if at all!
