    No Caption Provided
    Smallville continues to bring in the comic book guest stars.  Michael Ausiello from Entertainment Weekly has reported the exclusive news that Pam Grier (The L-Word) has been cast for multiple episodes as Amanda Waller.
     
    As you know, whenever she turns up, it's bad news whenever she turns up.  She will be making her debut in the two part Justice Society episodes, "Legends" set to air in January.  What do you think about this casting?  What do you think this will mean for Clark and friends?

    Should be cool, I think Amanda is an alright character. I think it'll make for interesting story bit, probably get the Justice League together again or something

    That's actually the first bit of interesting news from Smallville I've heard, and I don't mean Amanda Waller, which is OK, but Pam Grier.  Cool beans.

    Lol So when did Amanda Waller become hot ? HA HA HA. 
     
    Not that I'm complaining that Pam is playing her but it would've made more sense to get CCH Pounder to play her since she did the voice.

    If they ever use Amanda on the big screen, the role was made for CCH Pounder from The Shield.

    She looks nothing like an Amanda Waller. I'm sure it will turn out well, the casting director usually knows what he's doing.

    Excellent choice.  Pam certainly brings the screen presence required for the role.  Haven't watched the show in a while, but I think I'm going to have to figure out a way to now.
