76-year-old acting vet Richard Chamberlain is joining ABC soap BROTHERS & SISTERS for a multi-episode arc as “someone who comes back from Saul’s past and complicates things for him in ways he can’t expect,” B&S showrunner David Marshall Grant revealed to Michael Ausiello at EW.com.Chamberlain has previously appeared on the soaps DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and NIP/TUCK, and spent several seasons playing DR. KILDARE.
The news comes as Chamberlain is enjoying a bit of a career renaissance.
Assuming Chamberlain is in fact playing a love interest for Saul (it’s possible they’re just pals!), this would be the second high profile romance for Ron Rifkin’s character this fall. In this Sunday’s episode, former 7TH HEAVEN reverend Stephen Collins guest stars as an old acquaintance who makes a love connection with Saul.
Couldn't Chamberlain be playing a love interest for Nora (Sally Field's character) or is it that since Chamberlain came out, he's been stereotyped to playing only gay roles?
