Rodriguez lands in 'Roswell,' will spark romance
By Nellie Andreeva
LOS ANGELES (The Hollywood Reporter) --- Adam Rodriguez (CBS' "Brooklyn South") has joined the cast of the teen sci-fi drama "Roswell" from 20th Century Fox TV, which is going into its third season and its first on UPN.
Rodriguez, who will be introduced in the season opener, will play a young lawyer who works for the firm of Isabel (Katherine Heigl) and Max (Jason Behr) Evans' father in Roswell, N.M.
"He had a very charming, very real quality," executive producer Jason Katims said of Rodriguez's audition. While the goal in casting the role was to get the best actor possible, Katims said he is happy that in this case their choice happened to be a Latino. "It's something we've wanted to do, and it reflects the population of New Mexico," he said.
The young attorney played by Rodriguez will be the first love interest for Isabel in the series. "Our plans are to have their relationship accelerate very fast and very far," Katims said.
In addition to adding Rodriguez, who will be the only new regular on the show this coming season, "Roswell" is beefing up its writing staff.
Melinda Metz, who wrote the "Roswell High" book series, on which the TV drama is based, and the book series' editor Laura Burns have joined the show as writers.
In addition to his role on "Roswell," Rodriguez has a recurring role on Showtime's original series "Resurrection Blvd." Last season, he starred in UPN's short-lived Aaron Spelling drama "All Souls."
Rodriguez, whose credits also include stints on "Felicity" and "Ryan Caufield: Year One," is repped by Writers & Artists Agency and manager Abe Hoch of Magus Entertainment.

You know i hate to say this, but i saw a pic of Rodriguez the other day, and my first thought was....another Grant! I dont' know much about this guy, but he's not that handsome. I just can't see him playing this part with Isabel. I wonder what happened to the other two guys that were up for the part?

Hi just a little pop in to say hi to all you guys!! I wanted to comment about Adam Rodriguez. I know his pictures don't really do him justice but when I met him..my first reaction was wow!! I took quite a few pics of him and then when I got home and viewed them I was surprised that he didn't look as good. Maybe he's just not photogenic..
I love reading your threads..but think this is the first time I've posted here...but you have a great site!!!
