Posey, Alda, Dancy to Make Appearances on THE BIG C

Parker Posey, Alan Alda and Hugh Dancy will soon be making appearances on Showtime's 'The Big C.' Alda will play one of Cathy's new oncologists, while Dancy will have a recurring role in the series. Posey will play a love interest for Adam.

A five-time Emmy Award and six-time Golden Globe Award winner, he is best known for his role as Hawkeye Pierce in the TV series M*A*S*H. In 1966, he starred in the musical The Apple Tree on Broadway; he was nominated for the Tony Award as Best Actor in a Musical for that role. Alda starred in the original Broadway production of the play Art, which opened on March 1, 1998, at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre. The play won the Tony Award for best original play.

In 2007, Dancy had a starring role on Broadway as Captain Dennis Stanhope in Journey's End (Belasco Theatre). He also played Aiden in the 2007 film Blood and Chocolate. He portrayed the character of Adam in the 2009 independent film Adam, a man with Asperger syndrome. Dancy also appeared in the film adaptation of the novel Savage Grace by Natalie Robins and Steven M. L. Aronson.

Posey made her first break in television when she won the role of Tess Shelby on the daytime soap opera As the World Turns. Posey's first major role in a feature film was in Dazed and Confused (1993), a cult classic featuring Ben Affleck, Matthew McConaughey, and Jason London. Throughout the late 1990s, Posey starred in 32 independent films and was named "Queen of the Indies" by Time magazine. These films include Personal Velocity, Clockwatchers, Party Girl, and The House of Yes, for which she received positive reviews for her portrayal of a delusional woman in love with her own brother. 

The Big C airs Mondays at 10:30PM on Showtime.
