CCH Pounder lands role on 'Sons of Anarchy'

Shadowhunter fans of the hit TV series "Sons of Anarchy" will be seeing our very own Madame Dorothea soon.
CCH Pounder, who earned an Emmy nomination for playing Detective Claudette Wyms on "The Shield", will have a recurring part on Season 6 of "SOA," EW reports. She'll first show up in the season's second episode.
The casting reunites Pounder with "Sons of Anarchy" creator Kurt Sutter, who was a writer and producer on "The Shield." Much of the regular cast of that show, including Walton Goggins, Jay Karnes, Benito Martinez, Kenny Johnson and David Rees Snell, has since appeared on "Sons."
On "Sons of Anarchy," Pounder will play a prosecutor who crosses paths with SAMCRO.
Pounder currently has a recurring part on "Warehouse 13" and co-stars in the movie "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones" as Madame Dorothea. The film is due in U.S. theaters August 21 and worldwide August 23.
"Sons of Anarchy" begins its sixth season on FX in the fall.

Movie Monday 12: Madame Dorothea

We are just over a year away from the theatrical release of ‘The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones’ and the hype for the adaptation of the internationally best selling series by Cassandra Clare will only continue to grow as the release draws nearer.

I’ve banded together with other ‘Mortal Instruments’ fansites (TMI Source, Mundie Moms, TMI Examiner and TMI News en Espanol) for a weekly feature called Movie Monday.
Each Monday leading up to the August 23, 2013, release of ‘The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones,’ we will take a look at a scene, moment, detail, etc. and give our opinions on how we think it will be interpreted in the big screen adaptation.

This week we take a look at a scene from the chapter "The Five Dimensional Door".
Amber, TMI Institute: With the casting of CCH Pounder as Madame Dorothea, I went back and re-read The Five Dimensional Door, to try to picture the iconic actress in this scene. There are many things we learn in this moment when Jace and Clary visit Madame Dorothea’s apartment. The majority of the chapter focuses on a discussion of magic, legends and tea leaves. Even though Madame Dorothea comes across a bit like Miss Cleo in the beginning, it quickly becomes clear that she is hiding precious info about Clary and her mom. I really look forward to seeing the moment of clarity when Jace realizes that Dorothea is harboring a five-dimensional door and the moment Clary breaks away just enough to jump through.

CASTING NEWS: Madame Dorothea

CCH Pounder is Madame Dorothea!

Madame Dorothea was a lot of fun to write, according to City of Bones author Cassandra Clare. "She’s Clary’s downstairs neighbor and a “witch” — the kind with crystal balls and Tarot cards. Her secret is that none of that magic is at all real: it’s a cover for the powerful position she actually does hold in the secret society of Downworlders."

You may know her from The Shield. Or The X-Files. Or Warehouse 13. Or ER. Or The West Wing. Or pretty much every cool show in the known universe. "Our director’s wanted to work with her for ages and I think she will be amazing," Cassie said.

I'm beyond excited by this casting, but what do you think? Sound off below!
