The guest stars on HBO's hit comedy Californication next season range from rocker Rick Springfield to Gossip Girl's own Ed Westwick, according to reports.
In the comedy's third season season, main character Hank (David Duchovny) becomes a university prof. Ed Westwick will play a student fascinated by vampire literature and will appear in the second episode of the season. Should be fun!
Although we doubt he'll be dressed like this ...
Singer and former soap star Rick Springfield will also guest star, while Eva Amurri will play another of Hank's students, and Embeth Davidtz (of HBO's In Treatment) will portray the wife of the dean of students (Peter Gallagher of The OC).
Kathleen Turner and Diane Farr also will guest star in the comedy, which will offer 12 episodes starting this fall. Looking forward to seeing Ed Westwick on it!

The thought of combining Ed with vampires makes my blood run faster! Can't wait! I love Californication and David Duchovny too!
I wonder which accent will Ed use in this show....

Ha! I definitely will watch for Ed. It will be fun to see him as a new character, especially one so different. Peter Gallagher! I'm glad he's got a new contract; I loved him on the O.C.

Yay for Ed! Based on clips of other work he's done in Britain, I think he's going to have a good, long career... if he can avoid the pitfalls of working in LaLa Land post-Gossip Girl.

You know, Ed is such a good actor I don't understand why he doesn't get better parts. I mean I've never seen Californication so I can't speak for the show, but how is it that Ed doesn't get any offers for movie roles? Both Chace and Leighton are doing pretty big movies this summer and Ed isn't, how is that possible??

I'm pretty sure Ed is filming S.Darko, Donnie Darko's sequel...maybe in the future he'll get other interesting roles!

S Darko already came out and it went straight to DVD - it's being premiered on like the SciFi channel or something.

Before GG, he was in Son of Rambow - a critical success, Children of Men, and Breaking and Entering. He trained in London's Youth Theater. But since hitting GG, he chose 2 movies: 100 Feet - an indie supernatural thriller likely to go to DVD, and then S. Darko - another supernatural thriller. I'm wondering if he's just being a normal 21 year old guy and taking roles in the kind of movies he likes watching? Or else he's playing it smart and trying to avoid over-exposure. Chace has less acting experience than anyone on the cast, and I think it's risky for him to take a movie role at this point... if he fails, it will be really hard for him to overcome the label of "over-ambitious TV actor".

if hank or chuck ever met, i would have to say they would probably get on great as they are both womanizers!
