OK, I am seriously starting to wonder just how mant more actors will become associated with this new Grey’s Anatomy spinoff, because as far as I can see, it is only men who have signed on to the new show. And Paul Adelstein, who plays Keller on Prison Break, is the latest male to be cast.

In any case, Adelstein says he “can’t believe his good fortune” in nabbing a role on the new ABC show, which is being written by “Grey’s” creator and University Park native Shonda Rhimes.

Adelstein wouldn’t say a word about what his role is or what happens in the two-hour pilot – Rhimes is well known for strictly enforcing a cone of silence around her projects – but he would say that the pilot for the new series is “character driven.”

“I think with even some of the strongest writers out there, you could swap out the dialogue between characters on the show,” but that isn’t the case with Rhimes, said Adelstein, who noted that he and his wife, Liza Weil, who plays Paris on “Gilmore Girls,” are big fans of “Grey’s.” “Shonda not only writes great dialogue, she writes great characters. It’s all very specific. She’s got a very strong voice, it’s funny and truthful and three-dimensional, which is great fun for an actor and rare.”

I didn’t realize Paul’s wife was Liza, although things aren’t looking as rosy for the nenewal of Gilmore Girls.

And as for Prison Break, since Keller is still alive and well on that show? Reportedly, if the new spinoff is picked up, Paul Adelstein would leave Prison Break at the end of the season in a cliffhanger scenario.
