Nip/Tuck Casts Neil Hopkins As Sean’s Brother

Nip/Tuck has cast Neil Hopkins to join the cast as Sean’s long-lost brother, Brendan. You might remember Hopkins from Lost, where he played Charlie’s heroin-addicted sibling, Liam.

Hopkins character is a recovering meth addict who has been living on a nature preserve. Sean thought his brother had died, so he’s definitely surprised to see him. Hopkins’ character will be introduced at the end of the show’s upcoming sixth season.

Nip/Tuck’s fifth season concludes on March 3. FX has yet to announce a launch date for season 6, but it looks to premiere in early 2010, followed by the series-concluding seventh season in 2011.
