Three more actors have officially signed on for the Veronica Mars movie. And those who've seen the original series should be familiar enough with their characters. The first is Brandon Hillock, who played Deputy Sacks. Next up is Kevin Sheridan, who played Sean Friedrich, and the last is Jonathan Chesner, who was known affectionately by his fellow Neptune High students as Corny.
While we're still waiting on word for a couple of the other lead characters, Rob Thomas announced via Kickstarter the latest bit of casting news last night, noting that Hillock would be returning to his role of Deputy Sacks, the always polite mustache-sporting deputy at the Sheriff's department. Sacks was Sheriff Lamb's man, but if memory serves, he was always nice enough to Veronica.
Less nice was Sean Friedrich, who was introduced in the episode where Veronica was investigating who took Weevil's winnings at Logan's poker game. Sean proved to be a bit less up front with his family's financial situation than he led on. And he popped up twice after that, always with a bit of a sneer.
As for Corny, he was Neptune High's tokin' token stoner, and was one of Veronica's friendlier classmates, he was around a bit more than Sean, but he disappeared after the second season when Veronica went off to college. It's good to hear he's on board for the film though, and we might expect to see him dropping by for the planned Neptune High reunion, which is said to be a part of the plot.
Hillock, Sheridan and Chesner join Tina Majorino, Francis Capra, Sam Huntington, Amanda Noret, Percy Daggs III and Chris Lowell among the recent cast additions. Also on board are stars Enrico Colantoni, Kristen Bell and Jason Dohring.
