I swear, I get more TV news from Twitter these days than nearly anywhere else. To wit: I just found out a brand new piece of Ugly Betty casting news from one of the stars himself. Ralph Macchio, the erstwhile Karate Kid, who joined Betty at the beginning of last season, will be reprising his role in season 4.
He tweeted: "4 all inquiring about Ugly Betty. Just got official call that Archie will b back in Season 4. 4 how much, how long and when. Don't know yet."
Macchio plays Archie Rodriguez, a local politician who has been romancing Hilda, Betty's sister. As someone who grew up with Macchio, The Star Who Refuses To Age, it was nice to see him on TV, especially playing Archie, the first decent guy Hilda has ever fallen for.
As he said, Macchio doesn't know anything about how long he'll be on the show this season, but I'm rooting for him. Besides, if Archie wins his election, then Hilda has a very real chance of becoming a politician's wife -- and who wouldn't want to see the proprietor of Hilda's Beautilities in that role?
What do you think? Are you pulling for Archie and Hilda? Or do you think the politician's life isn't for her?
