Michelle on Veronica Mars

[slayerpower]

Michelle will be on Veronica Mars, starting with the third season premiere, Welcome Wagon. She will play Mac's roommate, Parker. Charisma Carpenter will also be in that episode. It is unknown if Michelle will be a guest star or a cast member.

Do you think their just trying to get as many Buffy/Angel Alumni as possible now? (Not that I'm complaining!)

You see this is the reason it's preferred you post a link to news.

Are you basing this on the IMDB.com posting? If so there's reason to suspect this story may not be true. IMDB has a poor track record for accuracy in breaking news. Recently there was the bogus information stating some Bollywood star was in talks to play Wonder Woman. That turned out not to be correct. There are multiple other examples. Stories originating at TV.Com and Wikipedia should also be approached with caution.

IMDB is user submitted information. Anyone who wants to can post anything he wants to.

Here's a comment from a member at Whedonesque concerning the IMDB.com story SMG was in talks to be in Resident Evil 3.

IMDb sometimes gets false info though."

Bit of an understatement there. Most recent example; according to IMDB Michelle Trachtenberg is to play a recurring character on Veronica Mars, but the character has been filled by another actor.

On the other hand, if you got this information from something like an interview with Michelle's agent, or Rob Thomas, that would be great. That would connect with this Rob Thomas interview bit.

"We’re introducing two new series regulars," he revealed. "One is named after the director of our pilot, Pizz, who will be Wallace’s roommate, Stosh Piznarski. Then Mac will get a roommate named Parker who will be everything that Mac is not—bubbly, effervescent, and listens to a lot of Nellie Furtado. They won’t hit it off right away."

Edit

Also I doublechecked the IMDB page where the story was supposed to have originated.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0827475/

Michelle's name appears to have been removed from the page.

Its false. The actor playing Parker has already been announced. Casting spoilers behind the tag.

"Thomas also revealed some new casting of the season, including Julie Gonzalo (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/jo_ann25/jGonzalo_headshot.jpg) (Dodgeball) as Mac's roommate Parker, and Chris Lowell (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/jo_ann25/cl.jpg) (Life as We Know It) as Wallace's new roommate Piz."

Aww it would have been cool to see her on VM, I could see her in that character aswell! I hate IMDB, It's so annoying, and reading through their message boards gives me a headache, someone says they don't like someones acting and there are like 6 replys that look like:
"Like to see you do better!"
"I'm ging to kill you if you say that again!"
"Ur Momma!!"

Err it's impossible to have a actually discussion there!!
Sorry kinda got off the point! But I actually like the two cast, Chris was good in Life as we know it
