Sleepy Hollow's loss is Elementary's gain! The always great John Noble has joined the CBS drama as a series regular for Season 4, the network announced Wednesday. Noble will take on the role of Sherlock's (Jonny Lee Miller) estranged father.



The character was referenced in the past as being instrumental in Sherlock’s first stint in rehab. He's also the person responsible for Sherlock being paired with Joan (Lucy Liu) as his sober companion during the series' first season. Now living in New York City, he will help Sherlock deal with the aftermath of his recent relapse.



What do you think of this casting? Anything is better than the bull-honky they handed to him in Season 2 of Sleepy Hollow, right? Also, here's the requisite "FRINGE RULES!"

Elementary's fourth season will air Thursdays at 10pm on CBS this fall.
