The rumors are indeed true and Martin Starr has signed on to the Veronica Mars movie. Now, Veronica Mars fans will quickly realize he wasn’t in the TV series so he’ll be playing a completely new character to the VM world. Starr (Freaks & Geeks, Party Down) will be playing Lou “Cobb” Cobbler, described by Rob Thomas as “another 09’er returning for the ten-year reunion.”
And apparently it was Kristen Bell’s idea to cast him:
Here’s what Martin himself has to say about being a part of the film:
Hello. I’m so incredibly excited to work with Rob and Dan and Kristen and Enrico once again! Each one a treasure in a flesh casing. Don’t you worry Kickstarters (Is that what you’d prefer to be called? Or perhaps you’re the Kickstartees? I know not.) I’ll give those lovely fleshy bags of organs a hug for each one of you individually. This may take me a couple months and perhaps cost me a few subsequent months in jail time for stalking. Time will tell. I’ll update you all on twitter.
Love,
@martinstarr“
Also, Ken Marino (Burning Love, Party Down) will be back as Vinnie Van Lowe, Veronica and Keith’s “would-be competition.”
