No Ordinary Family: Michael Chiklis’ Wife Is Found

The matriarch of No Ordinary Family has now been cast.

Playing the role of the mother of a super-powered family will be Dexter actress Julie Benz. Of course, Whedonverse fans remember her best as Darla on Buffy and Angel; me, I remember her as “Babs” in the ABC-Nickelodeon sitcom Hi Honey I’m Home. (Where’s that DVD release?)

Michael Chiklis will be playing her husband, and Autumn Reeser plays her lab assistant. The pilot, in contention for a spot on ABC’s fall schedule, should be shooting soon.
