BRET HARRISON JOINS CAST OF ABC'S "V" IN A RECURRING ROLE

Actor Bret Harrison, best known for starring on "Reaper," will join the cast of ABC's "V" in the recurring role of Dr. Sidney Miller. In the Season 2 premiere, the Fifth Column, led by Erica Evans (Elizabeth Mitchell), seeks out Dr. Miller, an evolutionary biologist who appears to have information about the Red Sky which was seen in last season's cliffhanger finale.

"V," which received an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series, stood as television's No. 1 new drama during the 09-10 TV season in the key Adult 18-49 sales demographic, delivering substantial year-to-year improvement in both of its Tuesday time periods (8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.). "V" finished No. 1 in both time periods among key Men (M18-34/M18-49).

The series stars Elizabeth Mitchell as Erica Evans, Morris Chestnut as Ryan Nichols, Joel Gretsch as Father Jack, Charles Mesure as Kyle Hobbes, Logan Huffman as Tyler Evans, Laura Vandervoort as Lisa, with Morena Baccarin as Anna and Scott Wolf as Chad Decker.

"V" is produced by HDFilms in association with Warner Bros. Television. The executive producers are Scott Rosenbaum, Steve Pearlman and Jace Hall.
