Judd Hirsch to Celebrate Holidays at WAREHOUSE 13

WAREHOUSE 13 has cast Artie’s (Saul Rubinek) estranged father, and it’s none other than Emmy winner Judd Hirsch (Taxi, Numb3rs), Entertainment Weekly reports. Hirsch will appear in the show’s first stand-alone holiday episode this December, which will also feature Paul Blackthorne (The Gates) as “a workaholic who runs afoul of a thief with a Santa fetish.”

In related holiday casting news, Entertainment Weekly also says EUREKA has cast Chris Parnell (30 Rock, SNL) in its holiday episode. Parnell will play a Global Dynamics scientist whose experiment and its unintended consequences pose a threat to the GD Christmas party and beyond.

I know it’s still summer, but does this news make you excited to celebrate the holidays with Eureka and Warehouse 13?
