Stop the presses! Miniature mogul Mary-Kate Olsen is branching out! Set to appear in ten (out of fifteen) episodes of Showtime's edgy adult drama Weeds, the actress is gearing up to be quite a fixture during the show's third season.
Olsen will portray a profoundly Christian girl named Tara, who will develop into a love interest for Nancy Botwin's (Mary-Louise Parker) son Silas (Hunter Parrish).
This new venture marks the first time MK is appearing in a featured role without her sister Ashley. This is of course, if you discount her role in the ill-fated Factory Girl which was cut out of the final version.
Sounds interesting right? Why do I get the feeling she'll be reduced to a scene or two per episode? Not to say she isn't talented, of course. Check her out in New York Minute:
No matter what, at least it'll be interesting to see Olsen in some fictional drama for once.
