Damages
Casting News

The impressive cast of Damages season three continues to grow.

Sarah Wynter has signed on to appear on the drama (alongside former 24 co-star Reiko Aylesworth) in the role of a security specialist that helps a assistant district attorney (Martin Short) unravel a financial scam, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Aylesworth will portray the wife of Campbell Scott's character, who plays a role in the scandal.

While few Damages spoilers reveal much about season three storylines, the cast itself has us excited for the January return of this drama.

Damages is a legal thriller that focuses on suspense, murder, backstabbing, lies and deceit.

Love doesn't exactly play a major role on this FX drama.

But that may change a bit on season three, as Ebon Moss-Bachrach (pictured) has been cast as a love interest for Ellen Parsons. The actor has guest-starred on episodes of Medium and Fringe.

Meanwhile, look for Keith Carradine’s character to get involved with Glenn Close’s Patty, who saw her marriage fall apart last season.

It's a nice boune back for Carradine, who was recently killed off Dexter. Making love to Patty Hewes seems dangerous, but it's unlikely to result in death.

Just when we though the season three cast of Damages could not get any more impressive...

Reiko Aylesworth - best known for her long-time role as Michelle on 24 - has booked a recurring role on the FX drama, sources confirm to Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello.

Details about the actress' character are being kept quiet, but her mere presence has us excited.

Aylesworth joins a Damages cast that now includes new series regulars and guest stars such as:

• Campbell Scott
• Martin Short
• Lily Tomlin 
• Keith Carradine

Season three is scheduled for a January premiere.

Following the announcement that Campbell Scott would appear as a series regular on Damages, the FX hit has announced a trio of other major names for its third season.

Actor/comedian Martin Short has also joined the cast in a major role; while Lily Tomlin (pictured, The West Wing) and Keith Carradine (Dexter) will come on board as special guest stars. No details on their roles have been released.

Earlier this week, Glenn Close won her second consecutive Emmy for Lead Actress in a Drama for her role on the show. It returns with new episodes in January.
