Garbage lead singer Shirley Manson is venturing into acting in a big way with a regular role next season on Fox's "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles."
On "Sarah Connor," produced by Warner Bros. TV, Scottish musician Manson will play Catherine Weaver, the CEO of a cutting-edge high-tech company.
The sci-fi series, an offshoot from the "Terminator" feature franchise, is returning for a second season in the fall after launching in midseason as the highest-rated new scripted series of the 2007-08 season.
It stars Lena Headey as Sarah Connor, Thomas Dekker as her son John Connor and Summer Glau as terminator Cameron Phillips.
Formed in Madison, Wis., Garbage broke on the national scene in 1995 with its self-titled debut album, which spawned the modern rock hit "Only Happy When It Rains" and has gone double platinum. The quartet, which also includes Nirvana producer Butch Vig on drums, has released three other albums, the most recent in 2005.
Plus I got confirmation from one of the writers so this is the real deal.

Mang. Someone get that Internet Rule #something-something demotivator with a picture of two Terminator endoskeletons doing it. And now make those two cyborg robot killing machines from the future lesbians!
I hope she doesn't replace Summer Glau. Robot River is awesome!
"DO YOU WORSHIP HOMOSEXUALS?" - Curtis Saxton (source) shroom is a lovely boy and i wont hear a bad word against him - LUSY-CHAN! Shit! Man, I didn't think of that! It took Shroom to properly interpret the screams of dying people - PeZook Shroom, I read out the stuff you write about us. You are an endless supply of morale down here. :p - an OWS street medic Pink Sugar Heart Attack!

Which makes me happy, because I'd be pissed if they got rid of Glau. Ironically, I think that her acting is probably the best in the series, which is funny when one considers her character.
And, you know, I've been a Summer Glau fanboy since Firefly.
When I saw the thread title, I immediately thought of the music video for 'The World Is Not Enough', where Manson played a singer and the android lookalike who killed her so it could take her place on stage and put its built-in bomb within range of its target.
Hopefully, she'll contribute some music to the series. Garbage rocks.
Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.
They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)

See my first comment in the OP for that.

I have nothing against Garbage, but I hope that does not happen. There are enough series out there who put music on the scenes of the show and I am starting to get tired by it. And Garbage does not really go that well with science fiction methinks.
