It’s not Rene Russo (a.k.a. my first choice) but this will do very nicely: Fringe has cast Amy Madigan in the pivotal role of Olivia’s mother, sources confirm to me exclusively.
The Oscar nominated actress — who most recently has been playing shrink to those head cases over on Grey’s Anatomy — will appear in roughly four episodes beginning with the season premiere when (and I’m just speculating here) mother and daughter reunite in the alterna-verse.
The original casting breakdown for Mama D described her as “lovely and together” and deeply devoted to her daughter.
Thoughts on the casting? Thumbs up? Thumbs down? Thumbs sideways? Sound off below!
