Oh, I like the latest casting news about "Weeds."
Jennifer Jason Leigh generally acts in indie films though many people remember her from earlier, more mainstream films like Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Single White Female.
I think she and Mary Louise Parker (Nancy Botwin, the lead character in "Weeds") will play really well off one another.
Meet Nancy's sister.
In her biggest TV commitment, Jennifer Jason Leigh has been tapped to recur on Showtime's comedy series "Weeds," playing Mary-Louise Parker's estranged older sister.
Leigh is set to appear in at least two episodes of the Lionsgate TV-produced series, which was picked up last year for Seasons 5 and 6.
As Nancy (Parker) finds herself and her family in harm's way, she sends her brother-in-law, Andy (Justin Kirk), to take her son, Shane (Alexander Gould), to live with her estranged older sister, Jill (Leigh).
But when Jill gets fed up with her own suburban family, she finds her way back into Nancy's life -- jealous, frustrated and intent on finally hashing things out with her little sister.
The fifth season of "Weeds" premieres in June.
