Lisa Bonet joins Life on Mars

August 02nd, 2008 | Category: Drama Shows, TV News

Life on Mars continues to add to its cast.

Just days after it was announced that Gretchen Mol had joined the ABC remake of the British hit comes word that Bill Cosby’s TV daughter is coming aboard too. She’s going to play Jason O’Mara’s girlfriend (the one in the present-day, not the 1970s - Mol will play the other one).

As we reported earlier, the entire pilot is being reshot, with a sort new cast. Some of the society they have in the new version

certainly sound interesting (including Harvey Keitel), though I think I would have liked to have seen original pilot cast members Lenny Clarke and Colm Meany. Bonet had an notorious falling out with Cosby while filming The Cosby Show in the 80s and soon after got her own spinoff show, A Different World. She went on to such movies as High Fidelity and the new film Gambit, and was married to rocker Lenny Kravitz (son of Roxie Roker, from The Jeffersons) for a while.
