Thanks to www.mycoven.com for the heads up
In its seventh season, "Supernatural" is going all-out when it comes to the guest stars who keep the story colorful, and this bit of casting scoop is no exception.
Zap2it has exclusively learned that D.J. Qualls -- best known for his memorable role as nerdy virgin Kyle in the comedy classic "Road Trip" -- will intercept the Winchesters in the season's 8th episode, tentatively titled "Time for a Wedding."
Qualls plays Garth, a quirky, laid-back hunter who Dean (Jensen Ackles) clashes with right off the bat.
Let's just say that Dean definitely wouldn't be working with him if Garth wasn't the only hunter available, and if it wasn't a dire emergency. Hijinks ensue, we're sure

This episode is going to rock my socks, hilarious!
ReplyDeleteOMFG YAY! Road Trip is one of my favorite movies and Kyle was so awesome!
ReplyDeleteThe combination of the words "wedding" , "dire emergency" and "only hunter availabe" make it sound really interesting...
ReplyDeleteI am laughing already and it hasn't even aired yet. lmbo
ReplyDeleteNow I'm starting to think Sam and Dean are gonna be stuck in a Death At A Funeral kind of situation all of a sudden. XD
ReplyDeleteSounds like this episode is gonna be really great ;)
ReplyDeletesounds good,definitely gonna be watching!
ReplyDeleteSounds good.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this is the same Garth that Bobby says 'Not me the FBI Garth , the real FBI - how are you still alive?' in Weekend At Bobby's?
ReplyDeleteGood catch, Jilly!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteQualls as a hunter? Ugh. No thanks.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Dean will soon put him in his place. Or kill him. Or both.
ReplyDeleteYou'd figure, from the character description, that this guy wouldn't last five minutes as a hunter anyway. Quirky and laid-back aren't character traits that keep a hunter alive.
ReplyDeleteI agree, but there are some people like that in real life. I mean people who seem like they shouldn't last long in their jobs/situations/neighborhoods/whatever but do somehow.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd be annoyed by a permanent character like this, but it sounds like it could be entertaining for one episode.
Once again I am out of the pop culture loop. DJ Qualls is best known for Memphis Beat to me. I've never heard of this Road Trip they talk about. I'm not sure I would say this is going all out in guest stars either, but I like him on Memphis Beat and can't wait to see what Dean makes of a nerd hunter.
ReplyDeleteThat would be fantastic! I always wanted to see that Garth just to put a face to the stupidity. If it is the same hunter, then no wonder Dean is frustrated with him. I'd guess Sam would be too. They'll have to treat him like a PiP who gets in the way just to keep him alive.
ReplyDeleteI suppose that's possible. I should probably reserve judgment until we get more info than a one-sentence description.
ReplyDeleteHave to say that this surprises me too. He's so scrawny on Memphis Beat that it is a stretch to think of him as a cop. A hunter is pushing ludicrous.
ReplyDeleteWell, you remember Richie. lol (from SIN CITY, season 4)
ReplyDeleteAlso, by this point it doesn't matter their demeanor, their place in the world or their "quirky" antics...if it's a hunter, the writers WILL kill them.
Ritchie. Exactly right. Not only do I remember Ritchie, I remember what happened to him. :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow...it's that pipsqueak from "The New Guy"... He was a "big deal" from about 2002-2004 and then disappeared until Memphis Beat...
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting casting.
"I should probably reserve judgment until we get more info than a one-sentence description" LOL cuz nobody here EVER makes a judgment on a one-sentence description :P
ReplyDeletePoor Richie. :|
ReplyDeleteWe would NEVER do that! Nor would we force the owner of the site to close a topic because of an argument that stemmed from a one-sentence description.
ReplyDeleteYeah. You've got a point there, Jilly. The post for "The Girl Next Door" synopsis is a good example of that. :)
ReplyDeleteIf I remember right, Richie got taken out by Casey the superhot demon bartender. There are far worse ways to go on Supernatural.
ReplyDeleteIf Garth is as stupid as it sounded like with Bobby, then I hope his death is ultra cheesy and caused completely by him screwing up. I want to laugh at this death and I most certainly don't want the Winchesters feeling guilty about it.
ReplyDeleteLike the sound of this episode
ReplyDeleteOh sounds like so much fun, but aren't all hunter quirky? I mean it's practically an occupational requirement.
ReplyDeleteHa, talking about TV spoilers wouldn't be any fun without some judgments!
ReplyDeleteO like him so YAY!!! Plus anything that takes Dean out of his comfort zone is fun ;P
ReplyDeleteHe just wanted some toys.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun episode Dean not happy can anyone say sarcastic!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if Sam will like the guy or not, he'll be frustrated with him if he's just a wannabee hunter putting himself and others in danger but I do think Sam will be playing role of Pacifier between the guy and his Dean. Probably trying to prevent Dean from wanting to throttle the guy.
ReplyDeletewell that sounds like major fun.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of him but he's obviously huge so more power to the writers! I think that this will be good though, "hijinks will ensue" and Dean in the same breath equals classic comedy!
ReplyDeleteHe didn't get taken out in a fun way, but you are right. Casey was preferred to other antagonists in this show.
ReplyDeleteSounds like there might be some comedy in there.
