EXCLUSIVE: Cary Elwes is set to co-star opposite Adrienne Palicki in David E. Kelley’s Wonder Woman reboot for NBC. The project stars Palicki as comic book heroine Wonder Woman/Diana Themyscira/Diana Prince, who is a successful corporate executive working to balance all the elements of her complicated life. Elwes will play Henry Detmer, the acting CEO of Themyscira Industries, who is deeply devoted to Diana. He runs the day-to-day operations of the company and acts like an uncle to Diana, though he could be a possible love interest down the line. Elwes’ only previous regular TV series gig was his starring role on The X-Files. He recently did a couple episodes of USA’s Psych. The actor, repped by APA and KLWG, is filming Gary Marshall’s New Year’s Eve and was recently seen in No Strings Attached. He has Tin Tin coming out later this year.

He was also in Psych a number of times too. So, X-Files isn’t his only TV experience.
Congratulations to Cary. Great guy, great actor.
I saw cary out over the weekend–he looks fabulous–and is such a “star”!! great get for this show…
Hmm, doesn’t really read to me as a contemporary of Adrianne Palicki’s. Curious what shape he’s in these days, heard he had gotten rather unrecognizable.
What kind of nonsensical comment is that? You “heard”? From whom? Another basement dwelling troll?
Wait a minute, why isn’t Steve Trevor in the show? Not complaining or anything, it’s just odd to see.
He is.He’s just hasn’t been cast, yet.
Nice to see Elwes getting more work. Just watched him again in The Princess Bride, and he was outstanding. I doubt they want him to do Errol Flynn in Wonder Woman, though.
LOL at the “possible love interest” line.
Elwes is old and fat. The show will probably be canceled by the time they get to that point anyway.
even old and fat, he still looks a helluva lot better than you.
And I’m not the one starring in WONDER WOMAN. What’s your point?
He’s old enough to be Palicki’s father and he looks puffy. If he’s actually going to be a romantic possibility for Wonder Woman this series is headed right where BIONIC WOMAN went.
A lot of effort on your part to put down an actor who has good looks and adored by the ladies. Whats with the Doc anyway? I sense a little insecurity on your part. Lets see your rebuttal!
Doc Michaels, Sounds like you really know nothing about talent. Let me guess, you’re some talentless actor who desperately tried to get an audition for the part and they wouldn’t give you the time of day so now you want to try and rip one of the hottest actors apart. Not gonna work DOC. Get a Life!
You obviously need glasses! He is far from old and fat!!
You obviously need glasses! He is still hot!
My wife and I just saw Cary at LAX and he looked far from old and fat. He looked amazing. In fact, my wife won’t shut up about it with all her girlfriends! The show should be so lucky to get such an amazing actor.
Congrats Cary, I hope the show is actually good and will last a while. You never know. It doesn’t matter a bit if David Kelly has anything to do with it. What’s next CHiPs ? Oh and Cary’s looking good, real good.
Dude don’t mock. CHiPs goes into development at least every other year. There’s even a feature script with Wilmer Valderrama attached floating around out there. CHiPs is just one poor funding decision away from actually being a reality.
The finest actor of his generation! So excited to see someone of his caliber on tv. And he’s so dreamy.
Leave Cary alone. Great actor, really underrated. Too bad he’s in this POS but we’ve all got bills to pay. No hate here. In fact this is the best casting news so far from this tripe, lead actress included.
Are you guys high? Elwes shouldn’t even waste his time with this show. But, hey, a gig is a gig.
I hope they get more episodes than Wonder Woman.
Cary’s great. About time some real actors find their way to TV. I’ve been a fan of his since Another Country. Wildly under-rated actor and a terrific human being from what I’ve heard. Very odd for an actor.
Cary is the bomb. One of the nicest guys in town, and a hell of an actor. Funny thing is he tested for a lead in The River, (not the bruce greenway part) and Paul Lee passed on him! NBC snatched him up a day later. Go Greenblatt and Kelly! Hope this kicks ass. Go Cary go.
Wonderful news Cary! The guy is a stud, i noticed some negative news about his weight, completely wrong…. sounds like jealousy to me. Can’t wait to see the show. Cary, you rock!
WONDERFUL NEWS! Cannot wait to see Cary on this
I like to cast him because it gets me in good with his Bro
to the chap who has to “cast cary to get in good with his bother” ummmmm, sounds like you have no talent because you use someone to get in good with their sibling. not something you should be bragging about. bless cary for pitying you and his brother too.
This is such exciting news! Cary is soooooo hot and the most amazing actor. Finally, something cool on tv.
WONDER-ful! Cary Elwes on the telly! Dreams do come true.
Cary looks in his 20′s = insane beautiful,
in his 30′s = irresistible Hot,
Now is an absolutly delicious man.
