Joel Gretsch Cast as Father Jack Lowery in New "V"

During the run of The 4400, Gretsch was asked his feelings about starring in a television series as opposed to a feature film. "I got to do some movies a while back that I thought, 'God, I love the middle, the beginning and the end of a movie. It's like reading a book,'" he said. "There is that, too. There is the beginning, middle and end. So with a TV series you don't know what they're going to write and where they're going to go with it. So it's kind of a leap of faith to go with these people who you don't know. It's like jumping into a family and committing for a long time, possibly."
   He was also asked his feelings about Star Wars, the response to which could (hopefully) be applicable to "V" as well. "When I watched the first Star Wars, it was like a whole different world," Gretsch opined. "It was like a big opening of things that you had never thought about and it made you think bigger. It made you think broader."
