I've been keeping an eye out for any kind of Dollhouse Star news, and it looks like a lot of the actors will be keeping plenty busy!

As was mentioned here, Fran Kranz who played Topher has a role in a new sitcom:
The Hollywood Reporter said:
"Benefits," directed by David Dobkin, explores modern-day romance through the eyes of five friends, each looking for "the one" but in the meantime settling for "friends with benefits."

Kranz, repped by UTA and the Hofflund Co., will play one of them, a nerdy but cute hopeless romantic who is worth $12 million after selling an algorithm to Google.

Dichen Lachman (who played Sierra) will be appearing as a Guest Star on NCIS: Los Angeles on March 9th next week! That was reported on by The Futon Critic:

And although I'm not *positive* how huge a role it is, I noticed that Enver Gjokaj (Victor) was cast as a "Young Jack Maybury" in the upcoming film Stone according to IMDB:

The older version of the character is played by Robert De Niro. This one's still in production, so that could change, but still it's nice to see him getting new roles. 🙂
 
Guess Ill have to start watching (at least one episode) of the Los Angeles version then. It's great to see them get work. And it's not difficult to imagine Fran in that role.
 
Yay! I'm glad that Fran scored a nice gig like that. I hope Enver's is a bigger role, he is so talented he definitley deserves one. And I'll have to check out that episode of NCIS.
 
This is so good to know! Thanks for posting. I'll be looking out for Fran on that sitcom and I'm glad you posted the link because it's good to see Julie back in action (though I have been watching her on Desperate Housewives).
 
Just watched NCIS: LA. Dichen was ok but we didn't see as much of her as I'd wanted. And sadly
It was easy to figure out who she was. And it had been even easier if I'd paid attention the the info Katie posted. 😛
 
As talented as Enver is, I can't think of many roles that would let him shine like Dollhouse did.

I don't know of a TV actor with his type of range. Hollywood talks about Neil Patrick Harris as the man who can do anything, and even he doesn't disappear into his roles like Enver.

Ideally, he should look for a role like Jeffrey Donovan's current gig.
