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."Continue reading Ralph Macchio to return to Ugly Betty

I used to really be into
Ugly Betty, and now ... not so much. There are just other things to watch, and that feeling of "oh,
Ugly Betty is a great show I wonder what's going to happen tonight!" is just gone. I think it ended around the time that she took that hansom cab ride with that one guy though she still wanted to be with Henry. Or something. Anyway, I'm looking at it and ... Ralph Macchio is in it now?! And David Rasche?! Discuss last night's episode here.

Here's an interesting piece of trivia from
this
weekend's story about Neil Patrick Harris in
The New York Times. If he hadn't said yes to the role of
Barney on
How I Met Your Mother, the role would have been offered to Ralph Macchio.
Hmmm ...it's
easy to sit here and say, oh, it's good Harris got it, but who knows? Maybe Macchio would have been great in the role
too and would have served as sort of a resurgence for his acting career.
With all the
"Barneyisms," maybe the writers could have thrown in a funny "Wax on, wax off" reference.
