'Veronica Mars' Jason Dohring joins 'Ringer' with Sarah Michelle Gellar
Geeks, start your engines! We're still mad at The CW for canceling "Veronica Mars" in the first place, but the network has taken a step toward redemption by casting Jason Dohring (AKA Logan Echolls, the most endearing possible sociopath teenager ever) in "Ringer."In his recurring role first reported by EW, Dohring will play Mr. Carpenter, a teacher at a Manhattan school attended by Juliet (Zoey Deutsch), the step daughter of Siobhan -- one of Sarah Michelle Gellar's two characters. Word is, Mr. Carpenter takes it upon himself to help Juliet, a troubled (but very privileged) teen whose drug issues land her in some hot water in the first episode.
Basically, this is the next best thing to getting one of Gellar's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" co-stars to cameo. We last saw Dohring as a vampire in "Moonlight," the CBS show that came, unfortunately, just a smidge too early to catch the current vamp craze. Here's hoping that the "Ringer" gig gives him something to sink his teeth into -- it's about time this talented guy landed another strong, nuanced role.

So thrilled about this. And if the TV gods are smiling, he lbe at the CW party on the 10th and there will be photos of him and Ian Somerhalder. My two favorite TV boyfriends of all time. One can dream.
Love, flove Jason Dohring (talented, uber chaismatic young actor) so i will watch this show i did not have intentions to watch in the first place (despite Buffy herself and Nestor Carbonell presence..yeah they can be good but it was not enough for me..CW just sucks too much and the preview videos seemed quite dull) because Jason Dohring is just so much awesome..i still want to watch in better channells, networks tv shows and above all on movies with great directors !!
Now I will love this show! I have missed him!
Okay, I'm definitely watching this show now!!! I waited for Dohring to come back ever since VM! And I'm so frickin' happy to hear this!!! On the verge of screaming. Lol!
