I know the season doesn't start until the new year, but I came across some casting news & wanted to pass it along. Michael Rapaport will join the Season 5 cast & there is speculation that he'll be the main bad guy, or at least one of them.

 

Rapaport will play Dale Crowe, Jr., the sexy and charismatic patriarch of a white-trash Florida crime family. Dale’s an ex-convict who owns a gator farm; he is smart, savvy and ruthless, all in the name of family.

The Crowes will likely draw comparisons to Season 2′s Bennett clan, led by matriarch Mags (played, coincidentally, by Rapaport’s ex-Miller‘s co-star Margo Martindale).

I've always liked Rapaport. I think he will be a nice addition to the show.

Same here.

Hopefully we will continue to get a steady dose of Boyd Crowder as well.

The backbone of the show IMO.

 

And Constable Bob too, of course. :lol2:

Damn you Randy. Now I'm super excited for a show that doesn't come on for another 3 months!

Was he in a few episodes at the end of last year? I remember a red-headed guy from a crime family.

^ I don't think so.

I can't see Rapaport doing redneck, hasn't he always played the rapper, New York street type in movies and TV?

Just dove into this series headfirst last week by purchasing seasons 1 and 2 on DVD. Getting set to start the last disc of S2.

Hopefully that means more Dewey Crowe, he's a lovable loser...but he keeps on trying.

There's a reason I went and bought Season 2 …

Season two is pretty good TV...I was just explaining the finer points of Mags to someone yesterday, thought the scene with Coover and the hammer pretty much summed her up.
