TV Patton Oswalt Joins The Newsroom... I'm Conflicted
Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Fri, Nov 9, 2012 at 3:44 PM
From Deadline Hollywood:
HBO‘s The Newsroom has added Rosemarie DeWitt and Patton Oswalt to the cast heading into Season 2. Both will play recurring roles on the show...
...DeWitt will play Rebecca Halliday, a litigator who’s been hired to defend Atlantis in a multimillion-dollar wrongful-termination suit. Oswalt is playing Jonas Pfeiffer, the new Vice President of Human Resources of ACN.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS. On one hand, I think The Newsroom is a pompous, terrible joke that is antiquated in its assessment of the media, while simultaneously being overwritten and brimming with smug satisfaction. On the other hand, I LOVE ME SOME PATTON OSWALT!!
Tell me how I should feel about this.
