COMING FRIDAY
Marvel First Looks -- and more!
Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. will make a guest-voice appearance during the upcoming sixth season of Family Guy, Fox has announced.
Other guest-voices for the upcoming season include Drew Barrymore, Rob Lowe, Hugh Hefner, Will Ferrell, Jimmy Kimmel, Kiefer Sutherland, James Woods, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and the rock group KISS.
Here's how Fox describes the new season:
"Lois gets a job working for Fox News and Peter has to go back to third grade in order to qualify for a work promotion. Meanwhile, Stewie creates a time machine, and he and Brian travel back to Poland during World War II."
FAMILY GUY: SEASON 6
TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES -- RICHARD T. JONES
Richard T. Jones, who returns as James Ellison for Season 2 of Fox's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, said his character has grown and is far less skeptical in the new season.
"It's a growth in knowing that these things called Terminators are real," Jones said.
