Veronica Mars Movie Adds Three More

Three more actors have officially joined the burgeoning, returning cast of Veronica Mars. Tonight, director Rob Thomas confirmed the returns to Neptune of Brandon Hillock as long-suffering Deputy Sacks, Kevin Sheridan as chronic ne'er-do-well Sean Friedrich, and Jonathan Chesner as aspiring horticulturist Corny. "The last time we saw [Deputy Sacks], he had just made his first kill trying to save his partner and boss, Sheriff Lamb," said Hillock, speculating as to his character's trajectory in the film. "Alas, he didn't make it in time. I think that does something to a man. Will we see a different Sacks in this film? I can't tell you that. But I can tell you one thing that won't be different: the 'stache. Sacks rocked a mustache before it was cool, and he sure as hell ain't about to give it up now." "When I first went to audition for Veronica Mars, I accidentally downloaded the wrong script. So, I showed up ready to blow away the competition… for the role of Wallace Fennel. Apart from not being black and having no idea what the heck was going on – it was the scene where he gets duct taped to a flag pole – I figured I'd be perfect," Chesner wrote. "Unfortunately, my audition got off to a bad start. Before I even arrived, I spilled Chinese food all over myself, soiling my garments. But maybe that was supposed to happen, because things worked out pretty well, and now here we are." The film will begin shooting in four days. More as production draws closer, and when the cast and crew take Comic-Con.
