Melissa George joins "Lie to Me"

by
Trish Bendix

I was hoping Melissa George would find more work after getting the boot from Grey's Anatomy, but I guess I was looking for something a little more than this. Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Melissa will join the cast of Lie to Me as "an Anna Nicole Smith-type."

Melissa will play Clara Martin, "the sassy wife of an older billionaire who has been murdered" who takes control of his empire. As Michael Ausiello notes, "she's kinda nuts."

If anything, this will probably be a fun part to play, but I'd also love to see Melissa do something a little more bad ass. However, we can hold out hope she'll share a scene with Lie to Me's Zoe Landau, aka Jennifer Beals. But with Clara not showing up till the 11th episode of the second season's 13, she might not have that much screen time.

Will you be watching for Melissa George on Lie to Me?

    Won't watch it, but Melissa George is singularly gorgeous. Don't you just want to snog her face off?!

    Lie to me is the best comedy on tv now, right after Lost. My brother and I are always in hysterics when it's on.

    I want to remember Tim Roth as the excellent actor he was in Resevoir Dogs, The Hit, Invincible, Pulp Fiction and Meantime not this paranoid android!!

    I always think of Home & Away when I think of her. The only other thing I've seen her in was Mulholland Drive.

    Granted, I don't think that it was so much her acting, but rather the character that was horrid. Regardless though, she does nothing for me...I wouldn't watch anything simply because she's going to be in it.

    watch Lie to me.. I love that show. Maybe because I'm a psych major and fascinated by human behavior. Also, the acting is pretty good. When Jenifer Beals was on it I was thrilled.
