Chris Lowell goes to Mars
The teen detective drama, which returns for its third season this
October on The CW, will add Julie Gonzalo and Chris Lowell to the
cast as recurring characters. The two will play Parker and Piz,
college students who first appeared in season two.

Parker and Piz will show up in "Welcome Wagon," the first episode of
season three, as students at Hearst College, the local college that
title character Veronica Mars will attend. Also attending Hearst will
be Veronica's friends, Wallace (Percy Daggs III), Logan (Jason
Dohring), and Mac (Tina Majorino).

Mars creator Rob Thomas recently spoke about the new season of the
show, which premieres October 3 on The CW. Thomas says that although
Mars was only picked up for a 13 episode order this season, he is
thinking like "a man who is confident he'll get 22."
