Soaring on its highly successful pilot run, which found it consistently atop the field among viewers aged 18-34 years old, Greek has buffed up its cast anew for its approaching second season. According to a TV Guide exclusive, 26-year old Michael Rady is Greek's newest recruit, said to play the perfect foil for Casey (Spencer Grammer), and perhaps even Rusty (Jacob Zachar), in the coming new season.
Rady joins Angel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum, Charisma Carpenter, as the most recent additions to the Greek canvas. We'd earlier reported that Carpenter, who portrayed Cordelia Chase on both Joss Whedon cult favorites, will be reprising her role from the first season finale to return in the second season opener.

Maybe you don't like fraternities and sororities. Maybe you hate nepotism and therefore refuse to watch a show starring Kelsey Grammer's daughter. Or maybe you're just inherently opposed to anything on ABC Family. Whatever the reason, odds are that you haven't discovered Greek, a dramedy about college life that returns with the second half of its first season tonight at 8pm on ABC Family. I'm here to tell you it's well worth watching.
Greek is one of the most likable shows on TV, full of wit and emotional drama. It follows mismatched siblings Rusty and Casey Cartwright (Jacob Zachar and Spencer Grammer) as they navigate Greek life at the same college. He is a nerdy physics savant who longs to break out of his shell while she is the newly minted president of her sorority.

“Something happens in the tenth episode, the season finale, which has [Calvin's coming out to the fraternity] in it. I can't give away that,” Paul James told After Elton. “But the tenth episode is… very dramatic and there's a lot of stuff going on. It's like the [expletive] hits the fan pretty much.
