Two actors have landed recurring roles on Weeds.

First, veteran movie star Richard Dreyfuss will appear on four episodes of the Showtime hit. All we know about his character is that he has a connection to Nancy's past.

Dreyfuss is an Academy Award winner who will probably always be best known for his role in Jaws.

Eric Lange will also show up on season six. The actor - most recently seen on Lost as Stuart Radzinsky - will portray Ellis Tate, a former classmate of Mary Louise Parker's Nancy.

Weeds premieres on August 16 and numerous interviews, spoilers and photos confirm the season will find the Botwins traveling the continent, on the run from Esteban and company.
