Shirley Manson Joins The Sarah Connor Chronicles!

May 29, 2008

The Hollywood Reporter says that Garbage lead singer Shirley Manson has landed a regular role next season on Fox's "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles."

On "Sarah Connor," produced by Warner Bros. TV, Scottish musician Manson will play Catherine Weaver, the CEO of a cutting-edge high-tech company.

The sci-fi series, an offshoot from the "Terminator" feature franchise, is returning for a second season in the fall after launching in midseason as the highest-rated new scripted series of the 2007-08 season.

It stars Lena Headey as Sarah Connor, Thomas Dekker as her son John Connor and Summer Glau as terminator Cameron Phillips.

I'll admit, Shirley Manson wasn't necessarily someone I thought of as an actor. However, I think she's done some acting in the past. I know so easy to jump to conclusions and quickly past judgement but for all we know she might turn out to be a decent actor. Then again, that would suck because then what would we have to complain about??

The only thing holding this show together is Summer Glau. Fox should have called it the John Conner Chronicles and left Sarah out... it would have been a better show.

Sickside Terrorist, you're dumb. I agree with dylansdad, she is Garbage. ;)

On another note, Shirley Manson, should be interesting!

I think SickSide Terrorist really needs to calm down. And I think everyone (except Laugh@you) missed the fact that dylansdad was probably making a bad joke; she's from the band Garbage.

It almost doesn't matter who they put on board, as long as Summer Glau keeps beating the crap out of people while wearing black leather on her deadly legs and a clam look on her face, this show is fine by me.
