ABC's new version of the NBC miniseries V is turning into quite The 4400 reunion. The creator of that late, great USA Network science fiction series, Scott Peters, has written the pilot and is executive producing, while directing the pilot is Yves Simoneau, who also directed The 4400's first episode. Now the talent from that show is also going to be seen onscreen as well, as the Hollywood Reporter reveals Joel Gretsch will be playing a role on V.
Gretsch, who played lead character Tom Baldwin on 4400, will play a Catholic priest on V, who "sees a renaissance of faith" after aliens, AKA Visitors, arrive on Earth. Playing the leader of the Visitors is Firefly star Morena Baccarin.
Another key 4400 figure, executive producer Ira Steven Behr, won't be among the big reunion on V, having recently joined Starz's Crash as showrunner.
