Henry Thomas-- best known as “Elliott” if you croak it in an E.T. voice-- will join the cast of Without a Trace, as Jack Malone’s (Anthony La Paglia) nemesis. Surprising to anyone who’s not a diehard Thomas fan, he’s actually been acting consistently since E.T. made him an icon, but in movies that no one has ever heard of (The Hard Easy? The Last Sin Eater?) His stint on Without a Trace will be his first major TV series appearance, though, and who knows? Maybe E.T.’s best friend will find his calling and become the new Neil Patrick Harris of the airwaves.

Cool! :thumbsup:
