John Noble joins 'Sleepy Hollow'

John Noble, one of the best TV actors to have never received an Emmy nod - though he's in good company; the Emmys have ignored plenty of other fine actors, too - will join Fox's "Sleepy Hollow" Monday night.

  Noble, as Fringiacs know, starred in "Fringe." His role on Monday will be - as best I can tell - not a radical departure from his Walter Bishop, at least in terms of personality. Here's a good Gary Levin piece in USA Today that will catch you up with Noble, and with one of the rare hour hits of the new season.
