LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter)- "Gilmore Girls" heartthrob Scott Patterson is staying in the CW fold with a starring role in the network's new comedy series "Aliens in America."
"Aliens" centers on the relationship between an unpopular 16-year-old boy from a Christian family in Wisconsin and an exchange student, a 16-year-old Pakistani Muslim, who comes to live with them.
Patterson will play the American teen's dad. He replaces Patrick Breen, who played the role in the pilot.
For seven seasons, Patterson played Lorelai's (Lauren Graham) on-and-off boyfriend Luke Danes. The two reconciled in one of the memorable moments of the show's series finale in May. He next appears in the horror feature "Saw IV."
