Men in Trees star headed to Samantha Who

TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello may have just traded his job for a new one at Entertainment Weekly, but he’s still getting TV scoop. He just posted some casting news at his personal Web site about the adorable James Tupper, formerly of Men in Trees.

Tupper is joining the ABC sitcom Samantha Who for at least three episodes as one of Sam’s love interest. Tupper will play a philanthropist, according to Ausiello.

I’m still sad that Men in Trees is over, but I’m happy that one of the cast members has lined up a new gig so quickly. Now, if we can get something for John Amos and Lauren Tom.
