Anger Management isn’t wasting any time looking for a new leading lady to replace Selma Blair. Blair exited the series last Tuesday, after reported friction between her and series star Charlie Sheen. The FX show released a casting breakdown on Friday for a sexy Latina or Caucasian actress in her 30s or 40s to play a “by-the-book” psychiatrist. The character will join Sheen’s in co-authoring the sex study research he and Kate (Blair) were working on before she left. The role will likely start with a multiple-episode guest-starring arc with the potential to become a regular.
