Yes, people are still talking about who will replace Steve Carell on "The Office." Who is talking his week? Rainn Wilson, who says, "I know they've been interviewing a lot of people for the position of the boss." Who? He jokes, "They reached out to Dame Judi Dench last week." [Access Hollywood]


"NYPD Blue's" Rick Schroder has been tapped to guest star on ABC's "No Ordinary Family." He will appear in a January episode as a man whose life is saved by the head of the superhero family, Jim Powell (Michael Chiklis). Sources say Schroder may stick around for more than just one episode. [TV Guide]

Watch out, Rufus and Jenny Humphrey. A new father/daughter duo is set to terrorize the Upper East Side in early 2011. "Spin City's" Michael Boatman will join "Gossip Girl" as businessman Roger Thorpe, a former colleague of Chuck's (un)dearly departed dad, Bart. Tika Sumpter of "One Life to Live" fame will play his daughter, Raina. [Movieline]

Ally Walker is set to star in Lifetime's drama pilot "Exit 19." She will play New York City Police Department homicide detective Gloria Shepherd, who is also a single mom trying to raise her two children. Walker is most well-known for her roles on HBO's "Tell Me You Love Me" and FX's "Sons of Anarchy." [Deadline]
