LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) He was a presence on "Deadwood" well before viewers actually saw him, and now George Hearst will be sticking around for a spell.

Gerald McRaney, who played the mining baron on the "Deadwood" season finale, is set to return for the show's third season, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

McRaney will appear in multiple episodes of "Deadwood" as Hearst, who bought up a number of Deadwood's mining claims through his now-dead intermediary Francis Wolcott (Garret Dillahunt), raising tensions among different factions in the camp. Recent credits for the "Simon & Simon" star include "Mister Sterling" and "Ike: Countdown to D-Day."

Notice that is not what is used ad credit as recent work lol. I wouldn't want to be remembered for that either. I use to love Simon and Simon however.

And of course I missed the ending. In fact I missed most of the season. It is replaying now though so hopefully I will get caught up but it is getting hard to follow.

Brian Cox (The Bourne Supremacy, Troy, X2: X-Men United), an Emmy winner for his work on the 2000 TNT miniseries Nuremberg, has joined the cast of HBO's Deadwood.

The Hollywood Reporter says Cox will play Jack Langrishe, an eccentric producer and theater owner who strives to introduce a modicum of culture to the mean streets of the South Dakota town where the Western drama is set.

Cox will appear in at least seven episodes of the Emmy-nominated series when it returns for its third season next year.
