You know I almost passed out a month or two ago when they announced that Nathan Fillion would be taking over the headlining role of Fox’s new one hour drama DRIVE. Fillion is playing a landscaper forced to join the cross country illegal road race to find his kidnapped wife. And folks, we have a WIFE!

AMY ACKER!
Acker is a fanboy dream; she’s been on both ANGEL and ALIAS. As both Winifred Berkel and as big blue Ileria we got to see that Acker is not a woman to be messed with. On Alias she kicked ass and blew shit up so the girl is well rounded. She made me cry as the dying Fred and made me cheer as she returned to television in Season 1 of SUPERNATURAL. I Heart Amy Acker and I’m glad she found another gig thanks to her Angel Exec Producer and Exec Producer of DRIVE, Tim Minear.
DRIVE debuts April 15th (Sunday) and then continues at its regular timeslot on Monday at 8pm! Unfortunatly it will air on the already jam packed MONDAY night but coupled with 24 this could be great news!
