Because I’m an old, old man, I have very little connection to what the kids are listening to nowadays. I do know the name “Demi Lovato,” but I doubt I could tell you a single song she’s responsible for. That said, Ms. Lovato is now on my radar because she has evidently joined the cast of Robert Rodriguez’s From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series Season Two!
Details about Lovato’s role aren’t forthcoming, but we do know she’ll appear in the final episode of the season. Maybe she’s an uber-villain? Doubtful. Perhaps she’s playing herself, and she’ll become a member of the undead by the time the episode is over? More likely, it’s a brief cameo, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
Lovato joins returning castmembers D.J. Cotrona (Dear John, G.I. Joe: Retaliation); Zane Holtz (Wind Walkers, Holes, The Perks of Being a Wallflower); Jesse Garcia (Quinceañera, “Sons of Anarchy”); Eiza González (Lola: Érase Una Vez); Wilmer Valderrama (“That ’70s Show,” To Whom It May Concern); Madison Davenport (“Noah,” “Shameless”); Brandon Soo Hoo (Tropic Thunder, Ender’s Game, Incredible Crew) and guest star Jake Busey (Motorcycle Gang, Contract). They are joined in the show’s sophomore season by Danny Trejo (Machete, Machete Kills) as “The Regulator;” Esai Morales (“Criminal Minds,” “NYPD Blue”) as “Lord Amancio Malvado;” Jeff Fahey (“Lost,” “Justified,” “Texas Rising”) as “Uncle Eddie Cruickshank” and Briana Evigan (Step Up 2) as “Sonja Lam.”
From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series returns to the El Rey Network August 25th.
