Can Jamie Bamber, Summer Glau help bolster Dollhouse?
Joss Whedon is dropping some impressive players in “Dollhouse” for the second season, which starts Sept. 25. The ratings-challenged thriller — all about the mysterious Echo (Eliza Dushku) who works for an underground group — needs those big names. The series airs this fall at 9 p.m. Fridays on Fox. Jamie Bamber and Michael Hogan of “Battlestar Galactica” will be guest stars. So, too, will Alexis Denisof of “Angel” and Keith Carradine of “Dexter.” And Summer Glau of “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” will join the show in the recurring role of Bennett, who has some connection to Echo. Of course, agent Echo’s mind is erased after each assignment, so forming connections is difficult. Bamber seems to have the most interesting role as Echo’s new husband, a mysterious businessman. Denisof will play U.S. senator, and Carradine will be a foe of the Dollhouse leader (played by Olivia Williams). Maybe they’ll all supply the juice to turn this into a winner for Whedon, who wowed fans wit
