I love good casting news. First yesterday’s announcement of Jon Voight coming to 24, and today we get more good news for another great show.

Oscar winner William Hurt will be coming to FX’s legal drama, Damages. I genuinely feel that this show is not only the greatest summer show I’ve ever seen, but also simply one of the best dramas on television. And I love William Hurt’s work and can’t wait to see what he’ll bring to the show. No word yet on what his role will be, but it’s rumored that he will share both a professional and personal past with Patty Hewes.

Damages returns to production on June 24, looking to an early 2009 release.
