Blair Underwood Joins 'Dirty Sexy Money'

Posted Aug 2nd 2007 5:24PM by Marcus Vanderberg
Filed under: Everybody Hates Marcus

Judging by the overwhelming demand for this actor during a poll about 'Who Is The Next Dr. Preston Burke,' this news should go over well with the audience.

Blair Underwood is joining the cast of the new ABC drama "Dirty Sexy Money," which will debut in the fall.

The 42-year-old will be playing the character of Simon Elder, a visionary billionaire that will be introduced in the storyline later in the season.

'Dirty Sexy Money' is about the Darling family, a fictitious wealthy family that Underwood could be a potential nemesis against.

The show, which is scheduled to premiere on Sept. 26, also includes Donald Sutherland, William Baldwin and Peter Krause.

Underwood is also starring in the HBO drama series "In Treatment," set for 2008, and will reprise the character of Mr. Harris opposite Julia Louis-Dreyfus on CBS' "The New Adventures of Old Christine."

46. I LOOK AT BLAIR UNDERWOOD EVERY SINGLE DAY. I TAPED A PICTURE OF HIM ON MY PHONE AT WORK, SO I COULD SEE BEAUTY ALL DAY. HE IS SEXYJUST BY STANDING THERE.

THE LOVE SCENE WITH JADA IN "SET IT OFF" WAS AWESOME.

HE PLAYED THE PART SO GOOD IN FAMILY REUNION, THAT IF THEY HAD NOT SHOWN THE OUTTAKES WHERE HE WAS LAUGHING AT THE GRITS, I WOULD HAVE SAID HE PLAYED THE PART TOO GOOD. I LOVE THAT MAN.

47. NO I DON'T WANT BLAIR TO BE TNE NEXT PRESTON BURKE, although I know what they are getting at. I want Blair to play the character his way. He's talented and I am glad he is in a show I can tune in each week. I wasn't even interested in a Dirty, Sexy Money until now hearing Blair is in it. Thank goodness a producer and network gets it and gets it right.

48. Blair Underwood has been my favorite for over twenty years! Any kudos he receives are well deserved. His talent will only enhance the quality of the shows in which he appears. I will be definetly be watching all three upcoming projects.

49. This response is to Allen Rikke
I side with "Jayda"; and, echo her remarks, and description of you. I actually feel sorry for you because you are living in a "blinded, bigoted" past making you the worst kind of "closed-minded racist." Is that why you married a Latino because no decent minded white woman would have you? And, check your facts again, stupid. There are more (unfortunately) black-on-black crimes being committed in the U.S. then there are black-on-white. Whites are shooting up schools, selling government secrets, betraying their own country and, like you, blaming African-Americans for the problems. Lastly, if Blair Underwood, an acclaimed actor, has been chosen for a new role he should be applauded. Just like you applaud all those "white" actors, lawyers, doctors and professional people, they all got their start from African-American teachers and educators.

50. Does anyone remember him as Bobby Blue on One Life to Live? He was the best friend of Nikki Smith/Victoria Lord at the time.

51. I am thrilled Blair Underwood is joining the cast of DSM. I loved him from the short lived LAX on NBC. He is so talented and is a pure joy to watch.

52. I am thrilled Blair is joining the cast of DSM. This man is such a fantastic actor and he is so fine! I like the cast, but with Blair....it's gonna be hot!

Ava at 7:47PM on Oct 4th 2007

53. Why giving Allen Rikke(AR) the response he expected, you'll should be prudence in your behaviours. AR is not a white man, he is just a confused individual using colour as his blanket.

Stop for a minute here and think, he is married to a Latino woman!!! Where are the white women?

My crtedit, is to my hero, one the good examples of men (black or white)

Good lucky my dear, more recognitions and credits for you in the years to come. You worked for it and honestly deserved it. 'You're the true example of what a real man should be. Happy new year to you and your family.
