BTW, they started filming season 3 almost a month ago-hopefully well get a Feb premier.

Great news! I hope he plays someone evil, 'cause he's really good at it.

Probably not, since Sopranos is scheduled to return in March.

Wow! The funny thing is that it's not as if Deadwood needed any better actors (but they just got another great one )

Good news. I've been a fan of Cox since I first noticed him playing the Intelligence Major in Sharpe's Rifles.

Read something from Deadwood Stage to add to this - Cox will be playing real-life theatrical producer named Jack Langrishe.

Ill add this little bit in a spoiler.Not too big of a spoiler but just in case for those who dont want to know...
Lamgrishe was gay - "This guy insisted every season on doing two Shakespeare plays, and invariably somebody tried to murder him during the performance," he says, "because, strangely enough, Shakespeare wasn't big in the mining camps." Funny considering the shakespearian acting done last year.

Great news. I really hope we get that Sopranos, Deadwood one-two punch we had over a year ago.

I would love it, but I would not blame HBO to spread their hits out a bit.
