Isaiah Washington doesn’t waste any time. He hasn’t taken his “shunning” from ABC and from many in the public as a sign to disappear for a little while, but just to switch networks. He’ll be guest starring on NBC’s Bionic Woman this fall- hopefully he doesn’t have any issues with powerful females with robot parts. Personally I’d find that more threatening than a gay man on set, but that’s just me.
