Game of Thrones Lena Headey Hacks Into White Collar
Lena Headey, who plays Queen Cersei on HBO's Game of Thrones, is extending her reign to the USA Network, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.
On Friday, USA cast Headey in an upcoming episode of the action-drama White Collar. She'll play Sally, a skilled hacker suspected of a major cyber crime who "gets close" to Mozzie (Willie Garson). Gets close? Does this mean what we think it means? Will Mozzie finally get some love?
The series is already giving Mozzie love of a different sort this season when the show delves into his past. White Collar creator and executive producer Jeff Eastin tweeted a photo of a young Mozzie on Tuesday with the warning, "This is adorable." And it is. As TV Guide previously reported, Ghostbusters star Ernie Hudson will play Mozzie's childhood mentor.
Headey's character will not appear in the same episode as Hudson. There's no word yet if she'll appear as a brunette -- as she's done during most of her career and in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles -- or if she will sport her blonde Game of Thrones look.
White Collar returns on Tuesday, June 7 at 9/8c on USA. Game of Thrones currently airs on Sundays at 9/8c on HBO.
Meet Mozzie's Childhood Mentor
Ernie Hudson has been cast on White Collar as Isaac Jeffries, the loving childhood mentor of Mozzie (Willie Garson), TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.
Hudson, 65, will appear in an upcoming episode that looks back at Mozzie's beginnings. White Collar creator and executive producer Jeff Eastin tweeted this picture from the episode earlier this week.
"It's not going to be a straight flashback episode, but we will see young Mozzie," Eastin told TVGuide.com earlier this year. "We will get to see why he's called Mozzie and how he came to be and how he came to New York."
Hudson is best known for playing Winston Zeddemore in Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II. On TV, he starred on Oz before recurring on Law & Order, and most recently, The Secret Life of the American Teenager.
