There's a certain sense of comfort whenever Gary Cole shows up on a TV show -- you know he'll be great, so you can relax and enjoy the show. When the actor shows up in the Monday, April 9 episode of "Hart of Dixie" as the father of Rachel Bilson's Zoe Hart, you have "HoD" star Tim Matheson to thank.
"We've talked about this character all season long, and now he's got to show up," Matheson tells Zap2it. "Who can live up to that? He's got to walk in the door and he has to have credibility and to be able to go toe-to-toe with Rachel, who is one of the most true, honest, believable actresses I've ever worked with -- and one of the most courageous -- so it was tough."
Thankfully, Matheson picked up the phone and called his pal Cole, who immediately agreed to the job.
