Another film heavy hitter is joining Glenn Close on FX’s “Damages.” Oscar winner William Hurt will play a new client of Patty Hewes (Glenn Close) – and although no further details have been released, rumor has it that William Hurt’s character will have both a professional and personal past with Patty.

“Damages” will return to the schedule in early 2009, with production beginning later this month.

William Hurt and Glenn Close co-starred 25 years ago in The Big Chill.
