This just in!
With My Own Worst Enemy dead and nearly buried, NBC has reassigned Saffron Burrows to its promising mid-season drama Kings. The actress will play someone from King Silas’ (Ian McShane) past in an episode that flashes back to a critical moment in his and daughter Michelle’s life.

Saffron Burrows arrives at an evening of cocktails and conversations in honor of the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at Zune on November 20, 2008 in Los Angeles, California.
By now, we all know that My Own Worst Enemy—that arguably ridiculous but still riveting spy drama—is cancelled. We’ve seen the complaints, about networks not giving risky shows like it a chance, or methods to tabulate ratings not moving on with the times. (Or maybe you’ve made those complaints yourselves. I’ll admit I’ve always insisted the thing about DVR and online viewing.) But, alas, there’s not much we can do about it. Starting tonight, we’ll be watching the last five episodes of the series.
I’ve been looking at reaction online about the cancellation, and so far it’s been a blame game. Some blame the competition, with other networks getting much more viewers on the Monday night time slot Enemy was in. Some point at the show’s concept itself, although that’s a very arguable thing: while some think it’s pretty silly, others think it’s interesting and attention-grabbing. Some even point at the “Heroes curse”—the fate that shows positioned after the now-struggling series didn’t last a season. So, I wonder, what else is left to say?
This just in: Saffron Burrows will be starring in the upcoming thriller, “Carjacked.”
Hollywood Reporter has the scoop:
“Ron Perlman and Saffron Burrows will face off in “Carjacked,” a thriller about a single mother and her child who are carjacked by a bank robber who has no intention of letting them go.
Sherry and Michael Compton wrote the film, which will be directed by Dan Reed (”Straightheads”).”
You probably know Perlman from his title role in the successful “Hellboy” film series.
The movie is set to come out in 2010.
In this pretty long and humorous interview between Saffron and Craig Ferguson. They begin by talking about her role on My Own Worst Enemy, but move quickly on to talk about all sorts of things. I think my favorite part is when they talk about her “becoming an American” by choosing to eat meat again (she used to be a vegetarian). Sounds like Saffron will be an American citizen soon–she says she was inspired to pursue citizenship because she wanted to vote!
