JOHN NOBLE TO STAR AS SHERLOCK HOLMES’ FATHER WHEN
HE JOINS “ELEMENTARY” AS A SERIES REGULAR THIS FALL
John Noble will star as Sherlock Holmes’ wealthy, estranged father when he joins the cast of ELEMENTARY as a series regular in the fall. The character has been referenced in past seasons as being instrumental in Sherlock’s first stint in rehab three years ago and in pairing his son with Joan Watson, his former sober companion, now his current investigative partner and friend. In the season four premiere, Mr. Holmes arrives in New York City to deal with the aftermath of his son’s recent relapse.
“We could not be more delighted to have John Noble taking on such an important role,” said Robert Doherty, Series Creator and Executive Producer of ELEMENTARY. “We’ve enjoyed his work for many years now – especially his tremendous run on ‘Fringe’ – and cannot wait to see him opposite Jonny and Lucy. It’s going to be an exciting season.”
John Noble is an accomplished television, film and stage actor. Prior to ELEMENTARY, Noble was a series regular on “Sleepy Hollow” and “Fringe.” His guest starring roles include THE GOOD WIFE, on the Network, “Forever” and “24.” Noble’s feature film credits include starring as Denethor in Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” and “Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,” and M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Last Airbender.”
Noble has led a varied and established theater career, most recently starring alongside Hamish Linklater in “Posterity” for the Atlantic Theatre Company and, prior to that, “Substance of Fire” by Jon Robin Baitz.
ELEMENTARY stars Jonny Lee Miller, Lucy Liu, Aidan Quinn and Jon Michael Hill and airs Thursdays (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. During the 2014-2015 season, the series was a proven performer in its time period and added 4 million viewers in DVR playback every week.
ELEMENTARY is a production of CBS Television Studios. Rob Doherty, Carl Beverly, Sarah Timberman, John Polson and Jason Tracey serve as executive producers.

I knew it, i knew it!!!!!! Now that would be AWESOME to see.
ReplyDeleteYay! Awesome casting choice and a great pick for Sherlock's father and it's great to see that he's a regular. Now I just have five or six episodes left that I need to catch up on...
ReplyDeleteAwesome casting !!!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes with Elementary I'm really interested in it, other times I'm completed bored with the case of the week. But adding John Noble to the cast has definitely upped my excitement and as a regular!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice.He's an excellent actor!
ReplyDeleteNice choice! My interest in Elementary has diminished since Kitty left, but I suppose now I'll have to catch up and watch next season if John Noble will be a part of it.
ReplyDeleteThat's some good casting.
ReplyDeleteWow, he never occurred to me as a casting choice for this role but he adds a completely new feel to the show. Great news.
ReplyDeleteWELL HELLO WALTER BISHOP
ReplyDeleteWasn't he one of the mains in SH?
ReplyDeleteI don't watch the show but I think I saw on twitter that his character died.
ReplyDeleteGawd. I NEED Hulu to hurry up and get the series available so I can catch up.
ReplyDeleteHe was, but he died.
ReplyDeleteThat he did.
ReplyDeleteBless this news. BLESS IT.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to add another show to my list for this fall. He's such a great actor.
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo!!!! So FREAKING EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!! Love that man!
ReplyDeleteI don't watch the show but John Noble joining up something are always great casting news, lucky fans!
ReplyDeleteexcellent news. show just got better. cannot wait to see Noble and Miller interact, should be great
ReplyDeleteDamn. I initially gave up on the show towards the beginning of S3, but I gotta admit with this casting news it looks like I will have to catch up just for Mr. Noble. You can never get enough of that brilliant man.
ReplyDeleteWow! a regular already. I hope Noble is able to pull off a british accent
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite actors. It makes up for writing the implausible end of season 3 where Holms fell for a scheme to get him to relapse. Not Holmes. Not Holmes. Way off course. But with Noble on board I feel better.
ReplyDeleteNice, John Noble as a father again, say no more, i'm all for it xD. Gives me a reason to watch.
ReplyDeleteI want Kitty to come back so badly. I especially want to see her face-to-face with Moriarty.
ReplyDeletePlease tell me I'm not dreaming! This the best news eveeeer!
ReplyDeleteomg this is everything
ReplyDeleteHell Yeah ! I am not being very eloquent but John Noble !! as Sherlock Holme's father and as a regular character. Hell Yeah !!
ReplyDeleteWho's is not happy when one of you favourite actor get cast in one of your show ?!
I think I am starting to forget how bad the final was.
This might be the best casting news i've heard in a while. Even though Elementary isn't really the best show on TV, John Noble is still a great addition to the cast.
ReplyDeleteGreat news. Looking forward to Season 4 and see the relationship of father and son interact onscreen.
ReplyDeleteJOHN NOBLE AS PAPA HOLMES?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER SAW THAT COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow this is going to be so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteExcept not exactly a GOOD father
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad John Noble has a new gig. I just wish it was on something that I watch :(
ReplyDeleteEnjoy him, Elementary fans!
Outstanding casting! I cannot wait for every scene between Sherlock and Papa Holmes.....
ReplyDelete"Estranged" is still a role John Noble is familiar with. Maybe he'll get his beard back? ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat choice !!!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice, but I just don't enjoy elementary.
ReplyDeleteEven better than Ray Palmer being written to die in a fiery explosion?
ReplyDeleteWaaaaaay better.
ReplyDeleteWoah! I love this news so much! I'm a few episodes behind on the show but I'm SO catching up now! One of my favorite actors is finally back on TV!
ReplyDeleteDamn lol. Fair I do love me some Noble. When he cried on Fringe I cried.
ReplyDeleteAs a regular, rather than an irregular? ;-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Loved John Noble on Fringe, should be great to have him on this show.
ReplyDeleteHe's an amazing actor. His last scene in Fringe still breaks my heart. And I'll have him playing another complicated father/son relationship. I can just imagine how epic his scenes with Jonny Lee Miller will be.
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad he keeps busy.
