Isaiah Returns

Seems that reports of Isaiah Washington’s career death have been greatly exaggerated. AP reports he returns to series television with a recurring role planned for NBC’s remake of the old Bionic Woman TV series. I for one thought that with all the accusations and back and forth following his being let go by ABC, his career was pretty much over. However, looks like NBC hopes to draw viewers, rubberneckers and controversy freaks to it’s new series with the addition of Washington.

Questions of his talent should not be in dispute. According to Ben Silverman, NBC co-chair, it was Washington’s reputation for talent, rather than controversy, that got him his new job. The job talks began not long after he was fired. Well, for Washington’s sake, I hope it works out, lessons learned, etc.
