The CW's 'Aliens' Abducts 'Gilmore' Guy
Scott Patterson joins CW comedy
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Patterson has landed a key role in The CW comedy "Aliens in America."
"Aliens in America" focuses on a Wisconsin family who take in a foreign exchange student in an effort to boost the popularity of their 16-year-old son. When he turns out to be a -- heaven forbid -- Muslim, it turns their world asunder.
Patterson will replace original pilot co-star Patrick Breen as the father of the less-than-popular American teen.
For the past seven years, Patterson played diner owner Luke Danes on "Gilmore Girls." The character ended this May's series finale in a liplock with Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham), which left fans of the show happy and Patterson looking for a new gig.
Patterson will be seen on the big screen this fall in "Saw IV."
