By Nellie Andreeva
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Sherman Hemsley of "The Jeffersons" fame is lending his voice to the title character in Fox's updated version of "Mister Ed."
Hemsley joins David Alan Basche, who was previously tapped to play Wilbur Post, and Sherilyn Fenn (news), tapped as Wilbur's wife. "Mister Ed" is a remake of the 1960s talking-horse sitcom in which the equine title character has an urban sensibility.
