CBS' Under the Dome is adding another rival for Dean Norris' Big Jim.
Grammy-winner Dwight Yoakam has boarded the summer drama from Neal Baer and Brian K. Vaughan, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Yoakam will appear in multiple episodes of the series based on Stephen King's best-seller, playing barbershop owner Lyle Chumley. The character has a complicated history with Big Jim and was once romantically linked to his late wife, Pauline (ER's Sherry Stringfield). Lyle -- oddly like Pauline -- also has a mysterious connection to the Dome and very well may know the answer to its origins.

Did we know that Sherry was playing Big Jim's wife? I don't think we did.
ReplyDeleteYes, it has been released: http://www.spoilertv.com/2014/02/under-dome-season-2-sherry-stringfield.html
ReplyDeleteSeriously how do all these people just suddenly come under the dome? Hope they give some logical explanation.
ReplyDeleteHer role wasn't revealed when she was cast, but it was revealed over time.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I knew that, but it didn't say what her role was at the time.
ReplyDeleteIt's the thing that annoys me most about the show. 'Hey, Random Bob 704 has just appeared inside the dome, with a long lost connection to Barbie - and is Joe's uncle!' I have no problem with the people being under the dome, but since every single one of the characters introduced seem to have some connection to the main characters, why the hell haven't they crossed paths or even been mentioned?!
