Rescue Me’s Andrea Roth Gets Lost

Andrea Roth – aka Denis Leary’s (ex-)wife on Rescue Me – is joining the cast of ABC’s Lost in a recurring role. Details about her character are being kept under wraps, but a recent Lost casting notice went out for a female character in her mid-thirties described as “a tough, no-nonsense and beautiful” therapist who has a tendancy to be “overly controlling and obsessive.” There has been no talk of how many episodes Roth will appear in, but it shouldn’t interfere with her role in Rescue Me, if it returns for a fifth season. FX hasn’t officially renewed the show for a fifth season. Assuming that it will be back, production will likely resume in early ‘08 – which would leave Roth plenty of time to squeeze in Lost.
