McCormack and Olsen to Join BROTHERS & SISTERS
June 12, 2008 by Kath Skerry
In case you were startled by the headline, I’m happy to say that former BRADY BUNCH star Maureen McCormack will not be joining the cast of BROTHERS & SISTERS. Neither will either of the Olsen twins. Now that we have that cleared up, I will tell you that Will McCormack and Eric Christian Olsen will be joining the cast in recurring roles next season.
According to The Hollywood Reporter McCormack and Olsen will play new business associates of Sarah (Rachel Griffiths), and one of them — the show’s producers wouldn’t say which — is being groomed as a potential love interest for her.
While we welcome Eric and Will to the show, the casting news we are all really waiting on is who is going to play new brother Ryan Walker. No news yet from that department. I’ve heard some rumors, but to be honest with you, the names I heard (Gregory Smith, Jason Dohring, etc) were more wishful thinking of behalf of fans.

Hey, that’s great news! I love Eric Christian Olsen 🙂 And wow, how great would Gregory Smith as the brother be?! We’re having a “Veronica Mars” reunion on “Heroes” so why not a “Everwood” reunion on “Brothers and Sisters”!
Last I heard, it’ll be a little while before they cast the Ryan Walker role.
I thought the McCormack would be Erick McCormack (from Will & Grace fame). He would fit in on Brothers and Sisters, no?
I am kind of hoping for Matt Czuchry as Ryan.
I think he looks like a Walker and he could certainly play either a good guy or a baddie.
